I went to a Lutheran church service today (for Tim's nephew's confirmation), and it was my first Lutheran service. Since today is when they celebrate the anniversary of the Reformation, the liturgy was different than normal, with all kinds of language that came across to me as very very VERY melodramatic, about how "we are miserable sinners who are not open to the word of God," etc.
I didn't know they DON'T have that as part of their weekly liturgy until afterwards, so I spent the whole service a little scared, a little depressed, and a little amused. Apparently, no, that language is just in honor of Martin Luther, who was himself not the most fun guy on the block.
Now I'm handing out Halloween candy (5 kids in the past hour -- I think we're going to have a LOT left over this year) and then going to run to the grocery in the hour between end of trick-or-treating and NEW SHERLOCK.
I need a reason to go out tonight or I'ma start drinking.
Went out to the OC to see visiting cousins and eat a big breakfast, which was fun except both the DH and I are left with the strong impression that our niece's husband (the one she married at age 19 and then "chose to" get pregnant with even though they had no jobs or insurance) is a meth head.
Now I am running around like a crazy person packing and prepping for my business trip tomorrow.
I'm sleepy. Drove down to DC this weekend for the rally, which was fun, but tiring. The Metro was really not prepared for this number of people.
I need a reason to go out tonight or I'ma start drinking.
We are handing out candy to children with Jilli and Pete and Sean tonight, I'm sure it would be okay if you joined us. We will probably start sometime around 5.
I don't think I could be there by 5 but I have champagne and hibiscus flowers.
From what I understand we'll have kids at the door from around 5 until around 8 tonight, so you could come a bit later if you'd like.
Yay! I'll try for around 5:30.
Oh, I am so sorry Scrappy. That's just such an awful place to be, I know.
