That's it, I just sort of wanted to complain.
I'm a bad sick person you know...
I've peed so much today because I've been drinking so much water....blargh.
I wish I would have brough my notes, then I would be dulling you all to death.
I'm hungry too....mmmm leftover sloppy joes.

And now it's raining...
I didn't get to go to CGM this morning. I woke up about 5am and couldn't breathe, coughing up a lung and all that sexy as hell stuff. I actually miss the people today.
Apparently sometime last night I swallowed a golf ball, in the not really kind of way but that's how it feels!
It's difficult to breathe if I move to fast, and my voice is coming back a little, but it still hurts terribly to talk.
I know I know, you all feel soooo terrible for me : )
Let's see....I have a couple of soapboxes to jump up on. But I left my notes at home (YES I make notes about what I want to rant about, it helps me remember when I actually type them out!) and I believe I'm far to tuckered out to rant and rave anyway.
I went and saw Dan in Real Life on Saturday. It was a good movie. We were supposed to go to see Lars and the Real Girl, but it was only playing in certain places.
I went to church on Sunday, great sermon. I chopped my hair off, it's about an inch or so shorter then what it looked like in my head, so Bethany will be wearing a few hats for awhile : )
Oh! I went grocery shopping on Sunday too. I mean, REAL grocery shopping. This is the first time I've been grocery shopping in probably 3 months, no joke. By real I mean, more then just milk, toilet paper, and face wash. I got yummy stuff for lunches, cereal, sloppy joe fixings (which I made for bible study Sunday and it went over spectacularly!), I mean yum yum, yum! I can pretend to be a grown up for awhile!
Oh, also on Saturday, I discovered a mistake that I made at the end of August, and it's sort of a big deal. And it super sucks. I mean, it will be fine. But I shudder to think at the repurcussions had I kept NOT reading my mail.
I need to be more organized, I need to keep my house cleaner, or at least closer to clean then it was on Saturday morning. I mean, those of you that have seen my house know that it's not that big. It's basically 3 rooms, living, bedroom, bathroom. But it took me almost 4 1/2 hours to clean it! That's some dirty stuff there.
Umm, I think that's it. I'm going to go peruse a certain business owners blogger, at least until I can charm him into revealing the location of the top secret blog ; )

What a Monday
I've cut off all my hair and lost my voice.....
I miss my voice, and I'm beginning to think the haircut was a mistake. Ah well, it is after all just hair right?
6 Days until Kevin comes home! Hooray for Belinda and the ladies!

Definition of Selfish
Just realized I didn't get to the part of the post about the definition of selfish.....now you're just going to have to hold your breath with anticipation!
Halloween Bash and the definition of selfish
So Halloween Bash...how fun was that?! I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off from 1 until about 8 or 830 that night. I was running a little low on energy by then but as long as I could sit I could have sat around talking for hours more.
I was so nervous about how things were going to go off, I was nervous that the volunteers weren't going to show, or show and then abandon their posts but they didn't (of course I have no idea why I thought that). It was a blast wandering around just chatting with people, pointing them in the direction of where they were looking to go, helping them register, drawing the names for the prizes.
Also, I knew it was going to be cool to see the helicopter, but I wasn't prepared for my regression to age 8 thinking "AWESOME!"....it was super cool.
I talked to so many families that thought it was so "nice" of us to throw this fun free event for the community, so many people said they loved doing things like this with their families but often couldn't afford to because of so many other obligations. How great it that?
It's so hard when you're saddled with debt, or just squeeking by pay check to pay check when you're on your own. But when you have kids, I can only imagine. They see all their friends doing all these great fun things, but they can't because mom and dad can't afford to. It must break so many hearts. How great it is that on Wednesday some of those families could do something fun, safe, and FREE with their kids, without worrying how they were going to say "no" when their kids wanted souveneirs that they could ill afford.
Just awesome. I still feel a little high from the whole experience!
Even as exhausted as I felt Wednesday night and Thursday, I was still itching to get going on the next outreach, the next project to just love on people.
Oh, another thing that was so awesome, how well everyone worked together! Even S, who I thought would be moping around and all! Everytime I saw her she was smiling ear to ear, chatting with STRANGERS and having a blast. She got a little shy at the end but I ran her down to make sure I gave her a hug.
There were so many "new" volunteers there too. People that I haven't seen at other outreaches. Which was awesome!
The thing is, corporate outreach doesn't take a huge investment by most people. The core team and the layer after that have a huge commitment, but people that are just serving at the event, it's easy as pie! Show up, smile, have fun, and you are changed! How awesome is that?!
Well, my endless call with FedEx is over so it's back to work!
