Shut up Carrie

Intervention

It's 9:30pm and Heidi is in a mood.  I'll just get to the point here.  She's having PMS.  She sends me to the store to get supplies... chocolate therapy. 

"I want brownies."

"Do you want ice cream?"

"No.  Yuck.  Sick.  I'm so over ice cream.  I don't like ice cream anymore."

"Okay.  (trying to keep a straight face)  I'll get brownies."

"I want ones with frosting."

"Okay - chocolate, or cream cheese?"

"They ALL have chocolate frosting."

"Well, actually, some people make them with creme cheese or butter cream frosting."

"Yea.  Well those people should be tied up and shot." 

I get to the store.  I pick up frosted brownies and chocolate fudge ice cream (sometimes I know her better than she does).  I go to the check out lane.  Dead serious here.  Dude in front of me has two cartons of Ben and Jerry's, a bottle of Midol, and a bottle of wine.  

"Dude, we are so in the same boat."

(He looks at my order.) "Yea.  It's pretty bad."

"Good luck, man."

"You to."

Facebook killed the blog-e-o- Star

I said to myself that as soon as my busy season (summer) was over I'd start blogging again and looking at other friends' blogs.  Well, here I am - at the tail end of my vacation; when I had planned to return from my blogging break, and I'm wondering if I should bother.  Have we all migrated to facebook?  It's so fast and easy to check up on everybody in your cyberlife at once now.  Do we still need to blog?  Is facebook the DVD to blogging's VHS?  

Relaxed Baby

UGSFAW -  Check

Camp - Check

Tomorrow I tie up a few loose ends and then it's time to go on vacation and relax.

Oh yeah

UGSFAW

I guess I'm still too close to it and too tired from it.  My thoughts on it are still unorganized, so here's just some random cool stuff I'm thankful for...

-557 kids and 197 awesome volunteers having a blast.

(-709 and 250+ including Preschool VBS)

-The staff pulling together for Children's Ministry like I've never seen.

-UGSFAW weekend - Jeff leading - moving lights - awesome set - 

-My daughter loved it

-Great stories coming back to me

-A spirit of love, fun, energy

-Feeling supported by the whole church

-Not a single complaint from a parent, child, or volunteer

-Getting to preach in the "Big Room" again

-Having an incredible team to share the victory with

-Positive comments, notes and e-mails re: UGSFAW and the weekend

-Feeling that good kind of tired - like after a day at the beach -but better

STOP YELLING AT ME!
