Church at San Geronimo

So Ryan and I went out to San Geronimo Valley Presbyterian Church for worship this morning. It was... interesting... yeah. Between the minister assuming certain things, to the kid that ran up and tapped the minister on the side while he was doing the dedication of the offerings, to the seminary grad that asked us what our theology was. Wow. Not to mention the IDIOT that almost T-boned us cuz he didn't bother to look before he turned left while we were turning left... ugh.

Anyway, after we got home, I watched the gold medal hockey game between USA and Canada and was totally torn between the two teams... I bleed Red White and Blue (go USA) but the coach of Team Canada is the head coach of the Red Wings (go Canada and home)... so it didn't bother me too much that Canada won. Then I did the dishes and cleaned my room and then it was time for dinner...

Ryan, Charles, Tom, and I went up to M&G which is the burger joint on the north side of Fairfax. Yummy stuff.

Then we came down here to Holy Grounds and have been sitting here ever since. Charles and Ryan are studying Hebrew, Katie is studying History, and I'm cross stitching... and waiting for the boys to be ready for some Yahtzee!

Saturday Respite

So I managed to finish the paper by 11:30am... which means I'd been in Holy Grounds for almost 24 hours (give or take). And I'm still in Holy Grounds... what can I say? It's comfortable!!

Anyway... my heart is full of prayer and thoughts for the people of Chile and Japan after their earthquakes, and everyone on the Pacific Rim who might get the tsunami effects from the Chilean 8.8 earthquake.

I think I need a Saturday Respite... where I do nothing but veg, maybe nap, play some online games (unless my buddies show up down here), cross stitch, yadda yadda. I'm starting to feel "pithy" which is never a good thing.

OH! In other news... John, Dani, and Norah are going home today, and Mom, Dad, and Anna are going up to Traverse City to see them/meet Norah. How wonderful is that??! I am seriously excited to be an aunt, even if it's not really blood related. Blood might be thicker than water, but love is just as thick as blood, right?

Off to go get some respite time in :-)

Late Nights at Holy Grounds...

What better to post my first post about than another late-night run at Holy Grounds. I think this is the second one this week.

See, I've got a paper due at 1pm today (Saturday). I've got about 2-3 pages left to write. I've been here at HG until, oh, 11:45am on Friday. It's now 5:52am on Saturday. No, I haven't been working on this paper the whole time... there was time for Apples to Apples with Ryan, Charles, and Tom, and a trip to Denny's for dinner. But, there are still 2-3 pages to write in the next 7 hours or so... and I'm getting pretty tired. Maybe it's time for a nap... but maybe not... I dunno. I've had "Gone With The Wind" on for background noise, really because it's over 4 hours long, and it has been wonderful.

Yup... I'm dozing off... time for a nap... here's hoping I get rested enough to write the rest of this paper....
