Turkey For Lunch Is Never A Good Thing

A word of advice. If you’re already very tired, don’t eat turkey for lunch. It doesn’t help the condition at all.

My hair. Oh my word. It’s just not cute at all. It refuses to hold any sort of curl, and it’s kind of puffy and really not good. So I have to get something done to that sometime soon. I don’t want to look like a lion or something. At least it’s soft, though.

My left lens on my glasses was all wobbly. But I took it over to the eye doctors and they fixed it right up for me. For free! πŸ™‚

I am so tired! I know there is good reason why, but still. I don’t like it. I want to go see Garth play tonight at Dennison University, but I don’t know if I’ll have the energy to do so!

I stayed up pretty late last night. There was The Grove, which was nice, as always. Amy showed up, which was a pleasant surprise. And Tina too. The only missing link was Kim. I’m guessing she had to work. But Monica was there, and the “crew” went to Steak and Shake again afterwards. I, or I should say TAMI took some pictures with my camera. I’ll try to have them up soon. Rob took lots of pictures with Tyler’s camera, so I’ll ask him to send copies of those along to me if he’d be so kind. YAY. Steak and Shake! YAY! My friends!

It was a crazy night there at Steak and Shake. The participants were Monica, Rob, Tyler, Kelly P, Garth, Tami, me, and then Matt B who came quite a bit late. We thought Tina was coming, but she never showed. πŸ™ I can’t even remember all the funny stuff that went on, and I was hoping I could. I do know that everything regarding Rob was “hot.” And that he drank BBQ sauce through a straw. That was digusting, but funny as hell. He also sprinkled pepper sauce all over the rest of my sourdough toast and ate it. He’s adventurous. At one point, there was a wager regarding that pepper sauce. Tyler said he’d give Monica X amount of dollars to eat three of the peppers. Monica said “You’ve got money. I want $300!” I love her. She’s so funny. Oh, and there was Tami’s Side by Side – eggnog and white chocolate. ICK!!! The only part that sucked (for me) was when the talk turned to politics. Ugh. I tend to shut down when that happens. I don’t say anything because it’s kind of understood–within the group–if you throw something out there, be prepared to take the backlash. It’s easier for me to avoid the backlash altogether. I hate arguing polictics.

Matt played a few songs on the jukebox for us. Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, The Doors. Tyler and Rob did a silly dance which I caught on film. Poor Garth was falling asleep at the table. Matt complimented me on my purse and remarked that guys should be able to carry purses. πŸ™‚ After we were outside, Rob not only picked up Tami’s car with her in it again, but he picked up MY car with ME in it. He said he doesn’t like mine because it’s too “sharp.” So I told him not to do it anymore if it was going to hurt.

It was a good time, as always. My friends make me smile. πŸ˜€

$5,269,658.

The members of Heritage Christian Church committed $5,269,658 for our building expansion compaign. Our membership has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years. When I first started attending, there were two services. Both on Sunday: 930am and 1115pm. A 6pm Saturday service was added sometime last year, and earlier this year, they’ve added an 815am Sunday service. I am gobsmacked at the impact this church has on lives. It’s had quite the impact on mine.

Church was cool today. I saw a lot of my friends. I get overwhelmed because their are so many people I want to sit and talk to and there is never any time. Lunch afterwards helps some, but I do wish I could have more quality time with my friends.

Kelly P had on the best orange golashes ever. I wish I’d taken a picture of her in them. πŸ™‚

This time change is really screwing with me. akfjlafjklafjl! It’s so dark out, and I feel like it should be about 9pm, but it’s really not even 7pm. Oh gosh. As much of a night owl I am, I HATE the longer nights and shorter days.

While we were coming home from dinner last night, we spotted a house all decorated for Christmas. Chris was complaining and saying they were being stupid. In hindsight, I realize he was jealous. He and Aidan went off to Meijer and came back with all kinds of decorations and lights and then he PUT THEM UP. Luckily, they are not lit yet, but still. *shakes head* He even got one of the inflatable Poohs. Aidan looks at him at goes “bah.” πŸ™‚ :O

Alright. I’m at Chad and Christy’s now and I’m going to take off and get back home so I can get stuff done. Monday Monday Monday is looming. I need to do laundry, shower, do hair, get stuff ready for work. Later, gators! πŸ™‚

Thanks to Andy, I now have WIRELESS on my laptop. nappilyn, that’s what I got at Best Buy. Sweeeet birthday present, huh? AND he bought me blank CDs besides, AND he’s taking me to dinner. I know, my birthday isn’t til December, but so far I’ve already gotten awesome gifts. Las Vegas, wireless internet… what else is coming? *hint hint*

I have $65 in Reward Zone certificates from Best Buy. And I have another $5 coming since Andy paid for his stuff and they scanned my card. I hope I get it before Christmas. Chris’s mom is giving me $100 to Best Buy for Christmas. That’s $170! And if the grandparents and aunts and uncles go there, that’s another $65. $235 to Best Buy!!!! What will I do with all that???!?!?!? I hope Chris gets me one too. $25 would be cool. Oh man. I’d have sooooo much fun.

I <3 Best Buy. And Andy. πŸ™‚

And It’s a Saturday

SOMEBODY get me out of the iTunes Music Store before I go broke! I LOVE that place. OOoo. Free downloads every week, and songs for 99 cents. It reminds me of when I was younger and used to buy singles like they were going out of style.

Andy should be here in about 40 minutes or so. He said he’s taking me to Best Buy for my birthday present. Speaking of my birthday, everyone is making a huge deal out of this one. I guess it is a huge deal (for some). Oh, who am I kidding? It’s a huge deal for me. So, I think a party will probably ensue. That’s kind of scary. But should be fun. Game night, good food, hanging out with my friends. It should be good.

Gosh. Christmas is in just a bit over a month and I have done very little shopping. Just some clothes and a watch for Aidan, and a couple of things for Chris. I have ideas of what I want to get people, but I haven’t put any of it in play yet. Who wants to come Christmas shopping with me? Leave me a comment and we’ll make plans!

Alright. Off to shower.

Sidenote: Why is my son sitting quietly in his infant swing? He’s enjoying it too. Weird.

My cell phone has been found. Joshua found it in Garth’s loveseat. This is great news. So I’m going over tonight to get it. YAY. The battery is probably totally dead.

I stayed up chatting with Kelly P on AIM until 5am. That was definitely quality and definitely worth it. I have a feeling I might be crashing on a floor at some point tonight.

Good times.
