Let's see if I can remember everythig that's happened since we last met.

The weekend of the 11th I went to WV to visit Dave S. It was a nice weekend. I was glad to get to meet some of the people he hangs out with there. The most memorable event was the children's sermon at Dave's new church. The lady was explaining to the kids that money won't get you into heaven, but doing good things will (not exactly correct, but I digress.) She was describing some of the things you could do, and one was "be nice to homeless people." She said "you know, those people that stand on the street corner with a sign saying 'will work for food?' go give'em some crackers- they're hungry, they'll eat crackers. if they don't want the crackers; well, they shouldn't be on that street corner then anyway." i think my mouth actually dropped open. then the guy giving the sermon- "Abraham did everything by faith, and when he did try to do things without God's help he screwed up- look at Ishmael- we're still having problems from those Arabs in the middle east." wow, all I can say is wow.

We did go shopping in the afternoon. That was fun. I don't do that often.

The rest of the week was uneventful. Leigh came over on Tuesday and we picked our fall concert. Nothing exciting happened at work all week. I was very glad I only worked 4 days.

In other news- still struggling on the weight. Of course my consumption of a dark chocolate truffle cookie from Northstar and a serving of Ben & Jerry's cookie dough ice cream today won't help.

I am also broke. In fact I need to write a few bills, and I don't have enough money in the bank account to cover them. I'll do some creative banking. I'm wondering if it would be worth it to get a bike-it would be an inital expense, but I think cheaper than the long run on gas and such. I'll need to learn to pump up tires though.

I'l write about this past weekend in a little bit. It was really wonderful. I want it to have its own post.

Still some avoidance

Recent events-

I can't believe this whole Michael Vick story. It makes me sick to think of what he's been doing to those poor animals. even if he wasn't actually there, he condoned it. boohiss! i don't think it will ruin his career though (unfortuately enough). Randy Moss has done some bad, bad stuff as well, and the Vikings still took him.

Today was a good day. It was the first day in well over a month I didn't walk. I slept until about 8:30, got up and lounged. I showered and all and left to do the weekly stuff about 10:30. I went to Target then to Kroger. I got some band aids and used a coupon on some deoderant (they only had one thing of my scent left, and i'm afraid they are taking it away) and got curtain rods for the kitchen. At kroger I spent more than I usually do (well, 25.00) but I got a lot of stuff that will last.

i came home and decided i wanted northstar. i left about 1, and got home with my honey bbq tofu wrap, simple salad, and dark chocolate truffle cookie about 1:45. i ate lunch. i lounged some more, and talked to jason online then i went to the kitchen. i made beans and rice and asian slaw. then for supper i made a pizza with a fake brat and onions. so far i've just been kicking back and enjoying the rain. i might play some games on yahoo later.

yes, i still need to write about this past weekend. stil deciding what i want to write.

i plan on going to bed early. i hope the weather clears up in the morning so i can walk.
