| It's been so long since I logged on to Xanga that I almost didn't remember my password! So I am wondering if anyone knows when it's supposed to be spring outside again?!!? It's sooo cold. I guess I will cherish these days so that in August I can have fond memories of cool weather.
I've been out of town the past few weekends. I had a great time. The first weekend PAFI went to Dallas for a show. We did well at the show and the second day we got to go to SixFlags!! It was a blast. I went on almost all the roller coasters. I didn't go on the SuperMan ride because I just needed to take a break for the wellness of my stomach. It was a long fun weekend and it took me all week to recover and get ready to go to Springfield.
Two wekends ago I spent the weekend with my friends in Springfield. I love that town! I have such fond memories there. :) I think the highlight of the weekend (and this is gonna sound corny, but this is my blog, right?) was walking to church. We parked on one street downtown by the restaurant we ate at for breakfast. Then we walked two blocks over to church. I can't tell you how walking to church ministered to my BigCityLivingMissing soul. In some places people can get places on thier feet! It's amazing. The weekend in SGF, while full, was very relaxing.
Last weekend I continued work on my house... yes, I still own the house and yes, I still don't live there. I'm beginning to believe that I'm not supposed to live there. On Saturday night Lucy, Lisa, Krista, & Mike & I went to see Shooter. (In an ode to Matt Crawford) that movie rocked my face off! I was easily impressed by the accuracy of the shooting scenes. Also some of the Firestarters went to breakfast on Sunday morning to celebrate Easter and that was an encouraging and enjoyable time to celebrate and be with friends.
This weekend... wedding fun!
Now I must go because my cat is starting to bite my fingers. | | |
| Today at work for fun everyone stood out side and watched a truck trying to get unstuck out of the ice on the street. | | |
| I have been trying to think of what to write on here for the past week! Merry Christmas friends and Happy New Year. We continue in the planning for the New Year's Eve Party. I'm excited and I can't wait for the party. It will be a fun way to end this year and begin another. I can't wait for the dancing. I know some of you are not as excited about the dancing, but it will be fun!!
The Lord blessed me with a wonderful Christmas. I was able to celebrate with my Dad's family on Christmas Eve. Santa successfully made it to the Baum house for the 57th year. :~) Santa brought me a DVD (Step Up) and a Jordi Labanda notebook. Santa sure does know how to give gifts! On Christmas day we went next door to my grandparents house. My grandma went pie crazy and I think there was a pie for each of us. Then we came home and opened gifts here. Lucy ended up with the most gifts because Jacque and I thought we didn't have enough gifts for her and we overcompensated. Lucy gave me a new pair of shoes and I love them! I'm wearing them right now.
Today I ventured into the shopping world to see about sale items. It was crazy out there. I think people were less stressed than before Christmas.
This week looks to be interesting as I travel to the OSU Independence Bowl in Shreveport, LA, Springfield, MO for Joe Miller's wedding, and back here to ICT for the Red Carpet Bash. WoooHoooo! | | |
| James Penguin: A funny Christmas song about a Penguin who is a secret agent for Santa. Tomorrow I'm going to wear my Penguin shirt. And now it's called my James Penguin shirt. But it might be a girl penguin on my shirt so it may not work out. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Tonight is a new episode (I hope) of ER! I can't wait... it's my only scheduled TV time this week. I put up new pics from last weekend on my flickr site... www.flickr.com/photos/melissasadventures The Lord has gone ahead of me this week and provided a lot of peace about recent relationship fun (or not so much fun). I've learned a lot this week out of Numbers 22. We studied it a few weeks ago in Sunday School and Bible Study and it's been relevant in my life this week. I got some Christmas shopping done yesterday. I love to shop online! I don't like shipping costs, but it's fun to just click buttons. I'm still in search of a few more gifts. Well, ok, a lot more gifts. But I work well under pressure of Christmas shopping. It really wouldn't be right if Lucy and I didn't whole Monty & Dil routine. Now, I think Monty just drives the get-a-way car and Dil goes in for the goods. Monty just doesn't like crowds. The weight and misunderstanding of relationships: how can you believe that a relationship is one way and the next day learn it is completely different. I can hardly believe that my perception is so poor that I've made such foolish judgments. So what is the missing factor that throws understanding off? | | |
