My church's VBS starts this coming Sunday evening. I am Director, so this is my crunch week. I am creating volunteer spreadsheets and emailing people like mad. I have yet to meet one-on-one with the team leaders of 5 sections to make sure they have everything they need.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Do you ever replay something over and over in your head so much you start to think that it must just be in your head and couldn't have actually happened? And you have to remind yourself that, in fact, it did? Did that make any sense?
My head is a weird place to live.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Nice post, ita.

Yeah, once in a while.
Sometimes, a person expresses that they're attracted to me, and later I start to doubt it happened.

Being so many people is confusing.
I understand completely.

I'm eating mac & cheese in the park with Trudy, Hil and DebetEsse.

The status is NOT quo.
Tom Scola is braggy, pass it on.

My church's VBS starts this coming Sunday evening. I am Director, so this is my crunch week.
Working this VBS, like always, makes me appreciate how much work gets put in by the directors and other volunteers. It is a ton of work. I could not do it. This one is fun because I've done it before, but it's still a lot of work just for me, and I usually have the SO with me. I had 200 kids in 5 20-minute sessions today. And I'm revamping my materials for tomorrow because way more of them remembered me than I was counting on.
It took me only about 70 minutes to get home from it, but it took me nearly two hours to get there. Rush hour, construction, and a massive thunderstorm made the difference, I guess. I hope I'm only dealing with two out of three of those tomorrow. Two hours is too long.
How long is everybody's commute? How long is a normal commute? I mean, I drive two hours, but that's only twice a week, and it's to a completely different town. And anyway, that's completely stress-free driving, usually, with a beautiful backdrop. This was bumper to bumper at 50 mph (in a 70) in a borrowed car. So. Stressful.

I have the ridic commute: 10 minutes from applying my lipstick before I go out the door to logging into my computer at my desk. And that's if I hit all the lights wrong.
I'm in an acquisitive mood, which is not good given my emergency bills this spring. But I've gotten myself outfitted for the summer (I hadn't really gotten new summer work clothes in years and it was a problem given my changing size,) so there's that. But I have so many house projects I need to shell out $$ for, I really need to be more mindful.
OTOH, it isn't as if I spend much on going out; I do most of my socializing and entertainment on our decks and porches.
