I'm going to go to bed now, though, because I'm very happy with how I FINALLY got my intro piece going. Now I'm at a point where I can just cut and paste various pieces from my blogging earlier in the week, tweak things here and there, and preach at 9:30 a.m. I'll do that after a good 6 hours of sleep! Good deal and good night.<BR/><BR/>Totally unrelated - - I had a GREAT day (and Friday night) enjoying our small town's annual hot air balloon festival. It was COLD (but apparently not as cold as previous years), but so exciting for me to see them inflate and take off right in front of me. I was the one with the excitement of a 2 year old, not my 2 year old. It was neat, and well worth being a little bit behind since I actually spent 24 hours straight with my family for the first time since before we moved here in mid-December. I can handle an early morning for that reason. (Hopefully it just doesn't lead to another string of good excuses next week!)Stephanie Anthony/She Revhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10089531643725874239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-19760637071840035692008-02-02T23:26:00.000-05:002008-02-02T23:26:00.000-05:00Someone should note this day, semfem and I are bot...Someone should note this day, semfem and I are both done before midnight "blog" time.

I think instead of me preaching that AGAIN we should make it Youth Sunday." So we did.<BR/>Today I thought, "I hate Youth Sunday. I think we should never have it again." Somehow I don't think that will be as simple to accomplish....<BR/><BR/>and now an exhausted me is going to join my anxiety dreams in my bed, only to wake up a few hours from now to help procrastinating youth finish the powerpoint, practice the testimonies, write/edit the communion prayer, and learn to teach the congregation a new song. Good times.<BR/><BR/>If you never hear from me again, you'll know that I have at last succumbed to my fantasy of being too ill or too dead to show up for Youth Sunday this year.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838436991138846332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-52851368344974650932008-02-02T23:02:00.000-05:002008-02-02T23:02:00.000-05:00there's a pot of tea on for anyone still working (...there's a pot of tea on for anyone still working (and I know a few of you are).<BR/><BR/>Last one up, turn out the lights, ok?<BR/><BR/>congrats to earthchick for the successful hyperlinks.... and sermon.Diane M.
