Night Owl

So, even though it's killing me during the day, I am becoming quite a night owl again. I have a love/hate relationship with staying up late now, though. I really quite miss staying up late. I like to do it even. But having a day job does not mix well with night life. Nor does having early-bird kiddos. *sniffsob* Trying to find a happy medium. Unsuccessfully, thus far. More updates on this in the near future.

In the mean time, check out my Plurk. Different from Twitter. Better. Actually works too. Haven't experienced any breakdowns yet. I still Twitter too, just not as frequently as Plurk. Anyway, good times, check it out.

Something of non-consequence.

I love Karen. ☺ She cracks me up!

Hallo. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

So I went to my first rapier practice tonight... I LOVED IT! I am very awkward and there is sooo much to learn, but it was uber fun. I am definitely going back next week! (THANKS CHELS! ^_^) Eventually I hope to be able to fight and win even... but right now I'll just go for remembering to have my feet pointed the right way, and keeping myself in the right stance. And not getting huge welts on my boobs. Those are the goals.

Hot Sewing Mama Divas Unite!

Sooo, my dear friend Jess has got me really excited about sewing. Who would have thought...but it has such potential, I can hardly stand it. I am not very good yet, but I just started a couple days ago and I have seen improvement already. I have faith that I will get better with practice. I have been browsing the Diaper Sewing Diva boards, and I'm amazed at what people make, all the time. It is quite inspiring! I will post pictures once I have a completed project. :D

PS - A BIG THANKS to my dear sister for letting me borrow one of her machines.

Ah, lunch...

Well, today I am taking a break during lunch. For the last half of lunch I may read. I haven't decided yet. But I am taking the time to just sit back and listen to good ol' Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix.

Annoying you say. Profitable I say.

I know it was a pain in the behind, me switching addresses. Sorry. My humblest apologies, really. But I have already made a whopping 38¢ so far. Not the biggest deal in the world. But that's still change. I'll still take it. Maybe I'll make more as I go.



So there.

Fight Club

I had fight club last night. That is what my church calls cell groups. I've also heard them called home groups. I really like them. What was so cool about last night is that we had some new people from other fight clubs come to check us out. I don't know if they were just visiting for ideas, or considering attending. It was nice to see them, either way! I really like going to fight club. Half the time I'm in and out because of the kids (yup, they come along), but I love to visit with them, and discuss and study with them too. It has really helped me to gain ownership of my church. I think that is something that I have really struggled with since we've left the Army. But huzzah, getting over that. Fight club has really helped me to feel connected! Now I just have to find a good way that I can consistently serve. I don't know what that is yet though. It's hard to do a lot with the kids at their age... I can always work in the nursery, or with Joshy's age kids, but that means missing church - and though I like helping out, I feel like I need church too! I just discovered that Erik (my pastor) has put his sermons up on a podcast. Maybe that solves that problem. We'll see! TTFN, friends.
