Minnesota Nice

coming soon...pictures...from the life of shelly

going down to help heather pack tomorrow...sad that she is leaving the west coast to go the east coast...boo hoo...

i backed out of my parking lot today and was a little close to the pole that holds up the "car port thingy" and took my passanger side mirror off...oops....i was mad, but tony was more mad at me for "being mad and acting as though my car was a precious jem of a machine"...not that i think my car is awesome, but still i dont see a need to make it any worse...he thinks it's funny when he practices his dukes of hazzard slide across my hood or just randomly kicks my car and treats it like crap....today was my first "accident"...and to think i have laughed at the pieces of mirror and tail lights i see laying around the parking lot knowing that some idiot has hit those poles numerous times....sorry for the judgement folks, looks like i'm one of those idiots...

i've come to hate Fridays....

i know fridays are the day you are supposed to be ok with going to work...cause there is light at the end of the tunnel...the weekend is coming..

but in ministry i've come to like wednesdays or thursdays, not fridays...Fridays mean cramming, stressing, band practice, hoping i can get everything done for sunday in the next 2 days, being at the office till after 9pm, dreading saturday being a work day...

so here i am Friday, 11:33 am...i havent done a single ounce of productive work, i walked in the door and was met with disappointments, emails, a messy desk...

is it bad that all i want to do is blog and work on wedding stuff....

thursdays are my day off, and i have such a hard time coming back on Friday...

speaking of my day off, and to end on a happy note....tony and i had an awesome day yesterday...nothing too spectacular....but a good day...we spent some time at the ole "wash & dry" laundry mat...played some dice while we waited for our laundry to dry...then we ate our favorite salads from chili's and finished our wedding registry at target...fun times...i love thursdays...fridays are way over rated...

couple things....totally unrelated and random

saw meet the fockers with scott last night....i liked it, although i wanted to really laugh, but only found myself chuckling...o well

church planting is hard and sometimes you forget how much satan sucks and wants a piece of you till you decide to help start a church...

i'm slightly jealous of jamie's huge blog following...i want a following...

i ran to work today and was weirded out by the fact that lots of people i ran by were really friendly and said hello or good morning...and also of course the roofers that whistled at me and said something in spanish...

confession to my other blogger friends: when i go to your blogs...if it looks like it's going to be too much reading...i dont read it...sorry...i hate reading...i wish i could click on something and just hear your voice.....or have someone else read it to me....which brings me to the next thought...

i used to love it when jamie would read stuff outloud to me in college, and equally loved it that i counted it toward my required reading for class....

ok...go...comment

sights from my office window...

across the parking lot at "manny's stockdale glass" there seems to always be a party going on....the 2 women that are the secretaries are always bringing in food and such...and right now (2:30 in the afternoon) they are carrying in some Corona's...i guess i should get into the glass business...

there is carpet out in the parking lot. they are putting in new carpet today here at the ministry center...and they lay out the excess in the parking lot...and of course cars aren't smart enough to go around it...so they drive on our new carpet...

there is a dog grooming place called "classy canine cuts"..not just a clever name apparently :) anyway, a couple times a day, workers come outside in there smocks and let dogs dump in the grass strip separating our lots...of course they don't clean it up...which would explain the incident one Sunday morning when one of our not-so-bright high school girls stepped in dookie....

all this observed today...which is supposed to be my day off...but i'm working...that's why i can justify the little blog break...

Why?

Why was there a mime on American Idol last night?

Why does Tony Danza have his own talk show?

Why do i have a cold when it's 60 outside?

Why does a groundhog shadow tell us about the length of winter?

Why doesn't anyone comment on my blog :( it makes me rather sad...i need comments...they are my source of hope...ok..that's a little much..but still...come on people, i comment on yours....most of the time :)
