So that is my clever attempt to be creative on the title front. Why do they make you put a title on these things? I'm not creative enough for that. I could have just titled it "Friday" but that's really boring. So this one will have to do.
I have been so incredibly busy for the past month it seems. I realized that for at least the past two weeks I have not had a night home by myself. My parents had gone on vacation last week (a cruise to Canada no less...so jealous!) so I had to stay over there to dog sit. They have a Yorkshire terrier named Butler. We got him when I was either a freshman or sophomore in college. He's the cutest thing but he's old and acts like a grumpy old man...but I love him. He's really my dog but I recently got an apartment and unless I wanted to give the rights of my unborn children to the apartment complex, I left him with my parents. He's too old to move him away from his home anyway, so I make sure I go visit him. Anyway, back to point, I had to dog sit over there for a week and it seemed like every night I was out doing something. Then this week our church had revival services. Which, by the way, were so wonderful. I think it was the best revival I've been to in a long . Usually I go to revival because I have to (being the preacher's daughter), but I was looking forward to going to services every night. It was so good and the preacher challenged my heart every night.
So last night was my first night at home where I could do absolutely nothing but veg out in front of the TV. But did I do that? Of course not. I ended up talking to a friend of mine who lives in GA for about an hour and half. It was so good to talk to her. I miss her. I miss all my friends who moved away. I actually haven't forgiven any of them for leaving me here by myself and forcing me to make new friends, who can never replace those that left. Anyway, (I chase a lot of rabbits, don't I?) after I got off the phone with her I got all settled on my couch with a blanket when my phone rings. It's my mom telling me that they just got off the phone with my brother. He had just been to the gas station where they told him that gas prices were going to increase greatly because of Hurricane Ike. Mom told me that dad was going to Wal-Mart to fill up with gas and that I should fill up too. I hesitated because I was parked in a very good parking space and I didn't want to give it up because more than likely when I got back the space would be gone and I would be forced to park behind the garages. Well, I was almost on empty anyway, so I agreed. I met dad at Wal-mart and the gas station was packed. I mean there were 2-3 cars at each pump. It was crazy! Evidently, these people heard the same thing my brother did. So after I get home a friend of mine from church calls me and we talk for the next hour about our trip to Hawaii. That's right...I'm going to Hawaii!! I'm so excited. More on that later. So it was after 11pm before I actually sat down to relax.
Tonight won't be any better. My mom and I are taking my dad out eat for his birthday that was last Wednesday. Then we will probably watch a movie or something. Then tomorrow I have a busy day with cleaning my place, shopping for Bunco that I'm hosting Monday night and buying food for a fellowship we are having at church on Sunday night. But I'm not complaining in the least. I'd rather be busy than have nothing to do at all. But I do hope that things settle down a little because all the new seasons of my favorite TV shows will be coming on soon and I don't want to miss those. :) Although I do have DVR. God bless the person who came up with that great invention.
I guess I'll close out for today. Remember to pray for all those in the path of Hurricane Ike.
