| I made a new Xanga site; "Hes_still_workn_on_me". Why you ask? Well, I've explained over there, so go see it.
I'll be using that as my home site from now on, and I'll delete this one after a while.
Go, go see it. Leave a comment, or something. | | |

Funny story..... Yesterday I packed clothes to go "workout" between work and signlanguage class, but I ended up getting to spend that time with Stacie - we set up an e-mail account for her. So since I didn't go yesterday I didn't need to pack for todays trip to the gym (I try to go Mon, Tue, and Fri.), just take the same bag. When I got to the gym I went to the bathroom stall to change (I refuse to change anywhere else, to many people do that already.... and none of them have anything worth showing off). Well I pulled my clothes out of my backpack one piece at a time and put them on as I went..... shorts, pants, tank top, and ....... doh....... no T-shirt. Ok, so what now??? I had forgotten to bring a hoody (Nothing except the sweater I wore with my dress clothes and my "nice" coat, which I didn't want to get all sweaty so I left it in the car) so it's not like I could wear that. I had thoughts of just working out in what I had on (baggy pants and a fitted tank top)..... LOL..... ROFL....... uh, NO!!!! I wasn't comfortable doing that for 1, and 2 I looked like a GEEK!!!!! So I decided to just leave. But I didn't have a coat/hoody.... and it's cold outside..... and I'm in a tanktop..... this is a problem. It was either put my work clothes back on (with the sweater), or just wear my gym clothes (with the sweater). LOL, guess which option I chose..... wearing the sweater with my gym clothes. If I didn't look like a geek before, that etched it in stone. Take GEEK, multiply it by... oooo... say....100, that was me as I walked out of the YMCA. I get home, walk in the door and Abby starts laughing....... She doesn't even bother to say Hi, she just laughs.... and tells me I look "stupid". Actually, it was kind of funny..... but that's one thing I won't be doing ever again (if i can help it).
Has anyone else done anything like that? Leave your story if you're not too embarressed.
Till next time.....

| Well, another week has coming to an end....... FINALLY. Life has been moving REALLY S L O W these last couple of months. Pretty much since the ski trip (which, by the way, was a TOTAL BLAST!!!!!) I've been bored.
I've been reading lots of books.... but not the fantacy type that take you to a "far away land" where things are always exciting. Those types make time fly by and you always wish you had a few more minutes to read, cause you're "at the best part". lol No, I've been reading books that are informative, instructional, philasophical, etc., which are much less entertaining but still of GREAT VALUE. I've actually gotten a lot out of them.
I'm gonna be starting a sign language class next Monday. That will add some flavor to my life for the next 8 weeks. Why... you ask??? Well, I'm taking it with Candy Wilson and Megan Bolander, does that expalin anything???? Nothing is NOT fun or exciting whenever they're involved.
So today's rain is a huge blessing (we GREATLY NEED it), but it's been really hard to motivate myself to get anything done. All I've really WANTED to do is sleep. It doesn't help that we stayed up till after 2am last night, but I slept-in till 8:40 so I shouldn't be too tired from that. Oh, and I fixed my hair this morning, went to Awana practice looking really quite nice (if I do say so myself)  , and came home looking like a wet dog. I was a little irrated. Normally I like rain, but not today!!!!
I was kind of disappointed at Practice (for the Awana Games) this morning. Things went well, but several people weren't able to come (due to being sick), that's what was disappointig. Hopefully they'll be there next week.
All day today I've felt like I'm forgetting something. I can't figure it out, but it's really starting to get annoying.
Ok, so I've just typed out and then deleted the same paragraph 3 different times. I was going to tell you about a conflict that I'm having with my dad, but I've decided not to torture you with all the gory details. Instead I'm gonna ask you all to pray for me. This situation is a "gray" area of life and I need wisdom to know how to handle it.
We watched "Walk the Line" last night. It's got Reese Witherspoon in it..... DUH I'm gonna like it!!!!!!! It's a drama, kind of slow, but it ends well!!!!
Ok, so I'm gonna go watch another movie.

| LOL.... Thanks for the encouraging words Andrew. In case you were wondering I can do 5 chin-ups, run an 8 minute mile, and crunch 50 pounds. And thats after only 2 weeks of working out. So how are you doing??? HUH? 
So it was another long day at work. I ended up staying 30 minutes late, but thats ok..... it means I get to leave 30 minutes early tomorrow.
The Uruguay Missions Team got back today. I'm sooo glad. I missed them all a lot, more than I expected I would. I wanted to run up and give them all bear hugs as they exited the terminal (sp?), but I didn't. Anyway, I can't wait to hear the stories and see the pictures..... bring it on.
I'm doing the leason for Awana on April 5 but I don't know what to teach on. Anybody have any ideas???? PLEASE SHARE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm starting a sign language class next monday. I kind of expected it to get cancled (do to lack of people) but it's a go. It's a class I've wanted to take for a while, and I get to take it with friends!!!! It should be lots of fun.
Well, that's it for this evening. Have a good one y'all. | | |
| There is a beautiful Full Moon out this evening!!!!! Have you seen it? Go look!!!!!
I can't wait till the weather is again warm enough to lay outside and look at the stars. I'm all about simple pleasures, and nature is the simplest.
My day started at 4:20 this morning...... it's been a VERY long day. Ahna left to go see college friends and I went to see her off, thats why I was up so early. Thankfully my cubical buddy (Timberly..... Yes, with a T) was very talkative so that helped to keep me awake at work.
I had my first of 3 seasons with one of the Y's personal trainer peopl this afternoon. He showed me how to work the machines, half of wich I had never seen before. Yes, I've been in a gym/weight room before but nothing quite this fancy. I'm excited about getting back into a habit of workingout.... though I wish I had a workout buddy.
Well, I truely am very tired and so I think I'm gonna head to bed now. | | |
