Update

  • Projectstupiddress: accomplished and done with (thank God). It zipped, and although my psycho mom basically told a ton of people at home about the issue, and ALL of them HAD to come up to me on Sunday and tell me how GREAT the dress looked, I still pretty much hated it. Oh well...maybe it will make some girl at the YWCA super happy.
  • Brother's wedding: ridiculously extravagent, but nice. It's kinda hard for me not to be jealous of them - the parents spent around $30,000 on their wedding, they got almost $17,000 back in gifts/money (probably more), and now they're in Hawaii for 8 days. Hard...very hard...
  • Being with the fam: busy and crazy, but priceless. I wish we were closer, but you know...every time we go to Chicago now, God reveals something new to me. The last time we went (around Christmas) I realized that I am a pure-bred Yankee, no question. However, this time, it was as if God confirmed our being in AL...that I don't have to base my whole person on being from the north. I know I wouldn't want to be dealing with their cost of living, the gas (it's around $4.20/gallon or so), the traffic (although that's bad just about anywhere), and the craziness of my family. They're great, but they're crazy. God is good...He knows what we need before we need it.
  • Migraines: so not cool! I have been dealing with them just about everyday for the last week or so, and I am not happy about it. The few I had at home made me nausious. Ugh.
  • Selling the truck: I don't know when it will happen, but it will. The gas prices are killing us. I wish I could get something even more efficient than my Mazda...
  • Preaching in June: yes, I will be preaching on June 22 as part of the Reach, Connect, Send sermon series. I'm pretty sure it's a Connect sermon - it should be interesting.
  • Counseling: I had my second appt. yesterday morning, and it was great. She wants me to go to some anger management education classes, and she said we need to work on some [appropriate] assertive skills. We talked about the possibility of me going to school for something, my skills, talents, etc. It was productive (for the most part) and I'm excited for my next meeting - June 19th.

Well, for not being in the mood to blog, I guess this is pretty good! ;)

Yay, you're preaching on my BIRTHDAY. Happy Birthday TO ME!

I love you and I'm glad you have a nice trip. (I understand the complexity of the niceness. haha)

So I am glad that you are back and didn't decide to leave us for the yanks. And I am sorry about the migraines... I get them too. It's yucky. And I usually throw up, so I feel you.

I'm glad your dress worked out ok and my mom does things like that to me too. It's not very cool, but she doesn't seem to understand why it would bother someone. Oh well. Migraines suck the big one. I wish you luck with that-I've been fighting with mine for about 6 years.
