The weekend is over

Ahhh it’s Monday again and I’m totally exhausted from my weekend. I stayed out until 5 am for the first time in YEARS… Probably since I was 21 or 22. Man I’m old!! I went down to Stockton to hang out with some friends and some how was convinced (still not quite sure how it happened) into midnight bowling followed by “breakfast” at IHOP at 3:30 am. Needless to say I was useless for most of Saturday and had to take a power nap between services yesterday to keep from falling asleep on my feet.

On the sad side of things my friend Jo’s dad passed away on Thursday. Please pray for him and the family while they go through this trial. It’s been very difficult for all of them.

I'm a super hero!!!

Bishop's Farm

My Sacramento "family" and I went on a lovely outing to Bishop's Farm in Wheatland on Saturday. I've attached a few pictures from our adventures. We enjoyed train rides, corn mazes, goat & pig races and most of all PIE! I fell in love with their famous walnut pie.

Yuck-O

I managed to catch some sort of cold/flu bug this week. OH YEAH!!!!! I blame my co-worker Gretta for infecting us all. I really hope I can make it though the next couple of days. It's not a good time to miss work. Oy!!

Tortillas!!!!

Last night my friend Adam came over to teach me the art of the homemade flour tortilla. I had NO idea it was so easy! All it requires is flour, a little oil, a little baking powder and water. Mix it until it’s a pizza dough consistency then roll and bake on the skillet. I must say they were delicious!! They went wonderfully with my avocado salsa and chicken for tacos. I think we might have to move to Mexico and start a taco stand. Nahhhhh :o)

The Internet is Awesome

Today I pulled out one of my favorite black shirts fresh from the wash only to find that it had dreaded deodorant stains! (dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!) What to do?? Alas, all was not lost. When I got to work. I simply googled “Deodorant Stains” and was promptly routed to 63,456 websites to help me with my deodorant needs. Crisis averted…. Phew!!!

Wrap me in your arms

Last week was a rather intense. On the less earth shattering side the budgets from the black lagoon resurfaced again. I really wish our client would make up its mind as to what they really want to do. It’s kind of annoying to work for 3 or 4 hours on something for them to say – Oh by the way we want to change one little thing. One little thing equals about 2 more hours of work.

On the sad side I spent a lot of time with my friend Jo this week. His dad is in the hospital and will more than likely pass away within the next few months. I don’t know the technical words for what’s wrong but he has lung damage. He could make it a week, a month or even a year but because of his age (he’s in his 70’s) his body just isn’t bouncing back like it should. It’s really sad. I can’t imagine losing my dad period. Let alone in my early 20’s. So anyway, pray for Jo and his family. He’s the youngest of 8 and there are a lot of grandkids that are pretty sad that Grandpa is sick.

On the bright side (yes Pollyanna is my nickname :o) My weekend was nice and relaxing. I did about a million loads of laundry and rearranged my room. I really feel like my house is coming together finally! Also, we had a really amazing church service yesterday. Our praise team learned this song on Saturday and I reallllllllyyy love it!
