Another Day

Well… another day.  I called Pastor Rose yesterday and left a message that I wasn’t going to make it to ministry class this morning.  I thought I would spend some time with my daughter, but as it turns out, I ended up spending time just being normal.  I spent time with my husband, something we haven’t been able to do much lately, then I cleaned the kitchen really well.  I scrubbed it like crazy.  That was my Mother’s Day present to myself.

My husband’s friends came over and they began to plan their trip to Amsterdam. They’re going to go at the end of February 2005 and they’re so totally excited.  This has been a dream of my husband’s for years and I’m so happy it’s coming about for him.  I get scared thinking of him leaving the country when the whole world seems to hate us so much, but I trust God to cover him and I really want to see him happy.  He sacrifices so much for us.

After cleaning and hanging with my husband and his friends I played some computer games, then my daughter came over.  My husband and son went out to do some errands then we were going to go to the movies, but they ended up doing other stuff instead so I went to see VanHelsing with my daughter and her husband.  Man, that was a good move!  So much fun.  It had all the good old fashioned monsters in it.  The cinematography was glorious and the special effects were incredible.  It was just so much fun… sort of like Indiana Jones meets Dracula.  I just loved it!!! I  love those kind of movies.

After that we came back here.  I’m not feeling too well.  I think I’m coming down with something, plus my new tummy-pouch thing is not digesting well tonight.  I’m still losing, which is just wonderful.  I’ve been keeping a food diary and really trying to watch my calories.  Most of all, I’ve been trying to drink the right amount of water.  I’m down 59 lbs. now and have gone from a size 24-26 / 3X to a 16 / L. 

We’re going to watch Network tonight after my husband and son get back from walking the dog.  I really wanted to go to the movies with them this afternoon but they blew me off.  Now, they want me to watch Network (which I’ve seen at least twice before and didn’t really like all that much), but I guess I’ll do it… change into my nightgown, curl up and enjoy the cuddle as we watch.  I have to work in the morning – I have to be there at 7:45 so I don’t really want to stay up too late, but, oh well.

My life is so blessedly boring really.  I used to hate it when my life got dull, now I really love it.  I love dullness because then it doesn’t mean tragedy.  I’ve just had too much crisis over the past 51 years and I’m happy to live without it now.  So, if these entries are not exciting — so what?  This life is really pleasant.
