Update on Praise/What to Study??

Well my blogger friends, thanks for the comments on the Praise Team. We held another practice after Wed. pm Bible study last night, and it went well. Fortunately, Teresa was able to find the first song we will be doing on a CD. Up until last night, we were going to have to adapt a tape to the sound system and go from there. Oh, and you will be wanting to watch Carleta on the closing song. That's all I have to say on the matter, you will have to come and see for yourselves.
I've been sitting here trying to decide what rarely mentioned woman from the Bible will be the topic of our Ladies Sunday School lesson this week. I really should be working on that, but I've yet to decide and this is already Thursday! We've just begun a new series on this topic and it's not as easy to pick one as it may seem. I have a good reference book, and of course the Bible, however, I also want to make sure I don't do it halfheartedly. So, seems like I'm avoiding instead. Hmmm....not good. Maybe we...um,hmmm (I should say I) need a lesson on procrastination, of which I am the queen!
Well, I guess I'd better cut this off for now too, so I can see if you've all posted anything and then get busy on my lesson before the it's time to get some much needed zzzzzzzz's. Nighty-night.

Movin' and Groovin' With the Pickaway Praise

I AM SOOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THE REVAMPED PRAISE TEAM!!! All I can say is, if you live in the area, and are not coming to Pickaway Church of Christ, then you are going to miss sooo much! We are going to be movin' and groovin' with Pickaway Praise and it's only just the beginning! Ya gotta come and check it out. AND, if you like it this coming month, just wait and see what's in store for the upcoming year.

Will and I had everyone over for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday and it was such a nice time. We all ate way too much, but that's just the way it goes. Jenna and Alyssa continue to brighten my life! They make the holidays more fun than I could ever have imagined. Some of the things they do just crack me up. They are so cute when they play hide-and-seek. Jenna will hide, each time in the same place, then Alyssa will find her right away and giggle like it's the first time she found her. When it was Alyssa's turn to hide, Jenna told her to go hide and she would count to ten. As soon as Alyssa saw Jenna go to the hallway and lean against the wall, closing her eyes and begin counting, Alyssa toddled over to join her. She put her head against the wall, closed her eyes and began saying, "Two, two, two.." This of course frustrated Jenna, but Alyssa was having a perfectly good time. :) When John and Amy announced it was time for them to leave, Amy asked the girls to clean up the toys they had been playing with. Jenna looked up at me kind of sheepish like and asked, "Can you clean 'em up Gigi?" I told her I would. Then Amy said it again, to which Jenna cleverly replied, "Gigi said she'll do it." This did not sit well with Amy, but it was so cute.
This morning, (no not at 4:00 a.m.) but actually closer to lunch time, Mom, Miranda and I braved the mad, mad world of Christmas shopping. It was actually a pretty productive day. The lines are getting longer and longer, and I suppose they'll continue to be that way. They always are what would make this year any different. There've been times in the past when my temper has spun out of control in such cases. However, I'm hoping and praying that I'll be able to be good this year. The only thing that happened today was, (and Heather, this kind of reminds me a little of your entry when you felt really bad after talking to the woman outside the store) Mom was in line to purchase a jar of moisturizer for my Grams and she was kind of standing a little too far back and suddenly an older lady just walked right around her and stepped right up to the counter in front of her. All I did was look, then look over at Miranda like "I can't believe she just did that". Unfortunately, I must have made more of a face than I realized because the two younger ladies who were with her spoke up and said, "She was being waited on by the lady behind the counter who told her to come over here." Then I noticed there were two registers and the other lady was also helping Mom. I didn't mean to seem mean, and I hope I didn't. I've just had people step in front of me in line before like I wasn't even there, and it bothered me. Aside from this it was a really good day. We ate Chipotle for lunch and as always that was reallllllly good! Well, I'm going on and on and need to quit.

Yeah for days off!

Four days off work! Yeah!! How great is that. Even though I have lots of cooking to do, I'm so excited to be free of sitting at the computer all day. So, here I am sitting at the computer. Go figure. The one difference is I WANT to be sitting here on this computer, doing this new blog thing. Much nicer than reinstating cancelled insurance policies. In the spirit of Thanksgiving though, I have to say I am thankful I have a job.
Is anyone planning on actually getting up and shopping at 4:00 Friday morning? Unless I'm going to work, I don't even know that 4:00 in the a.m. exists. I don't even wake up to relieve my bladder at that time. I just go in my sleep. (yes in the toilet, not in bed) I need to do more Christmas shopping, but 4:00 a.m. is just insane! I'll leave that to all the early birds.
Well, no matter what you do this weekend, I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving.
God bless.
