Weekend Mish Mash

Well, it's Saturday evening, and I am just presently curled up in a reclined chair in the living room, watching television in the background. I'm comfy, warm, and really should get up off my butt and go back to the things left to be accomplished on my to do list for the week.

I just finished eating a couple of kiwi fruits. This is only important information because someone told me once that kiwi is one of the healthiest fruits you can eat. Also, I had a conversation this week with someone who told me that you can eat the skin of the kiwi fruit. This is kind of disgusting to me. I am texture girl when it comes to food, and eating something generally furry in nature is anathema!

M. and I went to see "Knocked Up" last night. I really don't know how to describe it to you. I'm afraid if I say nice things about it you'll think I'm endorsing it, and then you'll get mad when you see it and don't like it! Here's the deal - this is a movie that will offend tons of people, it has too much swearing, too much sex, too much crude humor. That being said, I liked the movie. It had a generally endearing set of characters, tons of laughs, and an enjoyable story line. So, see it, don't see it - but don't blame your choice on me!

I woke up this morning and was all ready to jump into the mile long list of things I needed to accomplish today. As I was laying in bed, prompting myself to get up, I felt God reminding me of the last couple Saturdays when I started my weekend by walking and praying in Fish Creek Park. It seemed He was prompting me to take time out and start this weekend that way too.

Some weeks I do better than others at integrating my relationship with Jesus into the stuff of my daily life - at seeing the spiritual in the mundane. This was not one of those weeks. As I walked, I couldn't help but be grateful for a God who loves me enough to pull me out of bed and strongly suggest that I might want to spend a bit of time hanging out with him before I dove into the routine of the day. It was so helpful to take that bit of time and space - that bit of quiet and reorient some stuff before I jumped into my list.

I worked an extra four hours this week - I'm doing admin stuff for the church while Mom and Dad are overseas.

I bought the greatest pair of jeans ever last night. I don't have to shorten them. This is what qualifies them as the greatest pair of jeans ever. At five foot two inches, every pair of pants I purchase requires time consuming alterations in order to be wearable. And where did I buy these marvelous jeans you ask? American Eagle Outfitters, that's where. Just to give you an idea of how short I really am, I bought jeans clearly labelled in a "short" length and, though they fit well, they could still be a bit shorter to really fit perfectly.

Okay... I think that's all I have for tonight. I pick up my potential roommate at the airport tomorrow morning after I drop the bulletins and other stuff at church.

I still have some cleaning and stuff to do to be ready for her to arrive, so I'm off to do that! See ya later!
