the last sunday in june

another weekend gone, another weekend closer to them becoming important once again. they lose a little something when you don't have to get up on a monday morning.

not to rub it in or anything.

actually, this weekend i had to be up by 7:00am both days. saturday i worked the auditorium for a huge let's rob parents blind....er....dance competition. fifteen hours, my friends. will be worth it once the paycheck comes, but the during was a bit draining. did get to watch the two world cup matches without too much interruption. did finish possession (a marvelously written book, though i surprised myself by guessing the ending, which is something i rarely do. highly recommended for those of you that love literature - great stuff). did work a bit on my bottom (heh. that just sounds funny). hope to do a lot more of that this week as well as i try to get a firm grasp on my bottom (oh this could go on all night). colin was selling concessions for radio club - good to catch up with him. he's (a sucker) teaching summer school. and house sitting. in goshen. more power to him.

woke up this morning in a funk for no discernable reason. didn't get better on the walk over to church, or during rehearsal, or really during much of the service. my mind was elsewhere but it left no forwarding address - a bit disconcerting to say the least. then, after the service, i had two different people say they appreciated what i said before eucharist. only problem is, i have no idea what i said that i haven't said before. need to spend some time this week looking over the liturgy - have some ideas i need to flesh out (no pun intended....well, ok, maybe a little).

let's see, what does the week ahead hold? oh yeah, nothing. no rehearsal. was supposed to get publicity pictures taken, but judy called and we're holding off until after allen returns. house church tuesday night (sorry allison, won't be able to make the karaoke night, unless you think you might be performing between 8:30-9:00. i'm sure you'll knock 'em dead, though). couple of random meetings/appointments. as much world cup watching as i can. it's happening - my failure to fill my days with stuff to do means my days fill up for me, which usually consists of lying around the house thinking of all the stuff i could/should be doing. not an ideal way to spend the summer. think i might get on my bike and ride! tomorrow - been needing to do that. the question is, do i just tool around norwood, or do i strap the bike on the back of lorelei and head out to the bike path? decisions decisions. maybe i'll leave it for tomorrow...

suffering with poison ivy for the first time in...what, decades? literally. this is what i get for doing yardwork. shoot, i need to mow my lawn tomorrow, too. guess i can do that before i head off on my ride. or after. i mean, i have nothing going on tomorrow. but it will disappear regardless.

funny - matt and kevin walked into church this morning beardless. a sign of what my choice should be? do i follow the cool kids? do i stand as an individual? do i spend too much time thinking about insignificant things?

night all.
