Another Sunday come and gone...

Wow, I am really sorry I am such a crappy Blogger! It's been like a week and a half since I last updated this puppy!! Thanks to my good friend (and fellow blogger bestyleigh.blogspot.com) Betsy, I am back and ready for action :)

So... what has been going on in my life since the last time we spoke? Hmm... not much. Still knee deep in the job search. I REALLY REALLY hope that the job in Minneapolis comes though, that would be perfection, but there's always a chance that isnt where I'm supposed to be. If that chance is bigger than I hope it is.... I need to be prepared. So, I've sent out inquiry letters to different organizations that may want to hire a full-time MT and to various school districts with high special Ed populations. I hope I get some responses from these people. It kinda sucks just sitting around and waiting :-) Anyway... if you want to... stick that on your "Things to Pray For" list for me.

I have since been sucked into the world of crazy reality TV. I was always a fan of the standards like bachelor and American Idol, but I now find myself surrendering all will power to the television and the sofa every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and 9PM. That's right! Big Brother 5. I'm OBSESSED and not too proud to admit it. Honestly though, if you watch one episode of those things you're HOOKED! Currently, I am watching Steve Harvey's Big Time. It's a show where Steve Harvey has weird, yet strangely ordinary, people on to do weird things. Stupid human tricks, amazing stunts, perform talents...etc... that kind of thing. Sometimes, he has REALLY talented kids come and sing or play an instrument. I like those episodes. Then, other times, much like right at this moment, he has redneck father-son duos who are immersing themselves in an oversized bathtub filled with oatmeal to prove they can gain 20 pounds in 10 seconds. Hmmm... Why would someone do that?!? I consider myself a fairly creative and thought provoking person, but I dont think I have ever wondered how much weight I would gain if I covered myself with oatmeal. Just to set the record straight.... both father and son gained at least 20 pounds. Creepy!

All the kids at Wartburg are starting to go back to the dorms. It's going to be soooo weird hearing about life there this year. I've always been a part of that life, but now I will rely on my best friend to tell me about it, ya know?! It's a new chapter in this book of life, let me tell you that! A new and different, quasi scary, chapter. It's times like this when I wish life was one of those Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 80's. God would give me 2 choices and I could pick the one I wanted. Of course, I wouldn't choose until I went ahead and checked where both of the choices led me. Then I would just pick the best and shortest route to happiness :) Wouldn't that just be great? In Theory... sure. In Reality... not at all. I'm a stickler for that whole "learn from your mistakes" theory. Each crappy part of life only builds in you the foundation for a better part, ya know?! At least I think so....

OK, well.... it's clear to see that philosophy isn't quite my cup of proverbial tea. I'll stick with my current plan.... Bedtime!

I hope this entry finds you all well-to-do :-) Have a good one, friends!


In Christ,
