Yeah, it was one of those days. I actually got a lot done today, but there just seemed to be a lot of different things going on. My mind can only take so much.Me boy Isaac actually blogged TWO DAYS IN A ROW! :) That was good. He posted some nice quotes from Oscar Romero.
We went to see a financial planner sorta guy today. That is weird. Talk about feeling stupid. I've never had too many finances to try to plan, and just writing a check can be a challenge for me. But, now that we're like rich farmers and all (we 'almost' own 39 acres of Illinois farmground)... We had some questions. I tried to look intelligent and nod and smile at all the right times, but it felt just like bein' in Junior High tryin' to act cool with a girl. I'm sure I looked stupid. But at least the guy is nice enough to make us think we're important.
Jane got the Christmas tree up!!! She is such a dandy wife. The tree is not decorated (well, actually, for some reason there is one ornament on it), but it looks kinda cool in the corner of the living room. She had to move the marble-top table with the antigue lamp over where the dresser thing used to be; and it was moved into Isaac's now-vacant room (sorry bud... it doesn't look too bad though). 'Course, Carrie's now-vacant room is much too small to move anything into. I tried squeezing a box of kleenex in one day, and about blew the roof off. Anyway... I like our Xmas tree - it's a "skinny" tree. Understated.
Tonight I messed up and went and got elected as secretary for this ministry organization I'm on the board of directors of. I can't believe I am even on the board of directors for ANYTHING. And actually, I am on the board of directors for a couple different things now (that just means I'm an old fart). I guess it won't be that bad though. Take some notes; mail some letters. But the meeting was soooo stinking long. I tried to get Tom's attention a couple times - hoping he would stifle some of the kooky talk, but... once it starts, it's hard to stop. The worst part of the ordeal was that I missed "My Name Is Earl"; "The Office"; and even "Grey's Anatomy" (Yes, Carrie, you got me hooked).
Well, it's my night to stay up late (the Thursday night partay - all by myself). It's not everybody that gets Friday off. I need to take something for this stinkin' sarcastic mood. The silence is deafening.
Rain.
Drops.
Splat.

Hopefully the tree will get a little more "stated" than one ornament, but I'm glad you like it. I think listening to Christmas music actually made it kinda fun...
You were all over the place on this one, I guess that's how your day was, though. Sweet, calling Jane a "dandy wife"...don't think that's one my husband has called me. It made me smile :).
We're "Earl" fans, too, don't ALL the characters crack you up? I'm feelin' your pain...we got TiVo not too long ago, so even if I miss "Earl"...or "Grey's", I don't miss it for long;).
Your last paragraph and your last three words made me wonder if you were enjoying a cold beverage. Naaaah, you're a pastor...you aren't allowed to do THAT!
BTW, I'm mainly commenting here to tell ya I've read through the past week or so, and appreciated your brain this week (lol)...I've linked to a few things at my place, hope that's okay.
Hi Robin,
Actually, last night was a benidryl night. Now I can't seem to wake up.
And, as always, feel free to 'link away'! Just don't be bringin' all those crazy bloggin' chicks over here again! (just kidding). :)
Always nice to hear from ya.
These past few days have been muy loco (very crazy, add that to your spanish vocab). I just read your last five blogs all in one sitting. It was a good thing. Couple the last few blogs with Isaac's new facebook picture and the men in my family have added some much needed relief to my life.
I'm glad you got hooked on Grey's. Now you can come to Girls & Greys with us (all us girls get together for grey's & if you bring food, you can come even though you're not a girl). It's not always depressing and if anything, it makes you appreciate your life a little better. :) Last night was good, conjoined twins. I think Dr. Burke and Dr. Yang might get back together. George's dad lived, barely. And Miranda had a good heart-to-heart with the Chief, it almost made me cry.
Congrats on your secretary position. You're perfectionist self should be much appreciated.
If you think trying to squeeze a kleenex box in my room in tough, try squeezing two months of laundry in there. I don't know what I'm going to do for Christmas break. Ehh...
I need home time. Soon.
Sorry this is the longest comment ever.
Carrie Jade,
Hey, favorite daughter, I didn't think you learned any spanish in all those years of taking it. :)
Glad Isaac and I could help (I actually used to have a pair of glasses like those).
Sorry to hear about your roommate troubles. Looking forward to seeing you; and you can make as long a comments as you like.
love ya,
Dad
