He’s the, “most influential Christian,” of 2006. Barbara Walters named him one of her Ten Fascinating People in that same year. He writes books with titles like “The Best You Now!” and “Become a Better You!” He’s a motivational speaker lauded for his positive thinking. He writes sermons with titles like, “Positioning yourself for greatness!” His church is beyond a mega church and well into the realm of giganorma-Church. We’re talking somewhere around 50,000 people pour in to listen to him each week.

Turkey Day Free-for-All
So. I cooked a turkey. Sweet! I made a rub for the skin (Melted butter, season salt, pepper, and onion powder), tucked the bird in the oven, and waited. My dad and I made mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, sweet potato casserole (marshmallow version), green beans, and I whipped up some ginger bread cookies. It was a pretty sweet holiday. It was just me and my dad, and we hung out all day, watching TV in his room, just having a good time. It was pretty amazing.
Then, I fixed a problem I was having with my sewing machine (user error, of course.)
Over all, a pretty boring holiday. But boring in a GOOD way.
And… I can’t even express to y’all how glad I am to have rid myself of National Blog Posting Month. I’m just, absolutely positively, not built for daily posting. I don’t have it in me.
Next up: my plans for next summer, my plans for next semester, an update on WaltzBoy, and pictures of my first really, truly successful sewing venture.
i. give. up.
i give up!
daily posting… wow. more power to those of you who post five-seven days a week.
i am incapable. it turns me into someone capable of producing only mindless drivel.
i’m going to step away for a bit. and when i return, there might be actual thinking going on. until then…
xoxo,

Items of note!
- WordPress has my blog on some insane time schedule, so… NaBloPoMo is all jacked up for me. Oh well. I’m trying.
- I just spent three hours at a high school football game that I drove three hours to get to. It was 33 degrees (F) outside and we lost. Awesome.
- My heat is broken. But I got a mini little heater and it’s doing just great. Sweet.
- Straightening my hair makes me feel pretty.
- I thought I had stopped biting my nails but then they got long and DROVE. ME. NUTS. I bit them all off. It was incredibly satisfying.

i think i am cursed
i think i am a cursed babysitter.
the mom i was babysitting for just emailed me to say that she won’t need me tomorrow, because I’m not a good fit for her kids (especially one of them), so she’s going to try out some other sitters.
if you’ll remember, this is the second nannying job i have procured this semester, only to lose. now, the first one, the mother-in-law came to watch the baby, so that was through no fault of my own. but i’m just incredibly frustrated.
i know that it is her decision, and her kids, and her choice. but, honestly! i hate this aspect of childcare, how you can just get let go on a whim. i also hate that i turned down a job opportunity with a non-profit (as an admin assistant) because i had committed to the hours she needed. i’m just frustrated, and disheartened. what the hell is wrong with me? am i cursed? honestly.
so now, we’re about six weeks away from Christmas, i’m incredibly broke, and i have no job. that’s just great.
People keep…
Popping up pregnant!
Seriously! Is there something in the water? I know about six people preggers or new moms. I can’t handle all the baby-ness.
Good grief.
In other news… I think I found the seminary I want to go to.
And…
National Blog Posting Month is killing me.
10 things I find COMPLETELY infuriating!
- My inability to do math – even with the help of friends! (Math Teachers, no less.)
- Terrible traffic at random times during the day!
- My habit of biting my nails.
- Doing dishes.
- Grit in my sheets. You know. Dirt gets tracked into my house, then onto my rug, then onto my feet, then I get into bed. Grit in my sheets.
- The writer’s strike. Well, the people being MEAN to the writers. They write. They should get paid. Duh.
- Public speaking class. Gotta take it next semester. Bleh.
- Forgetting my leftovers at the restaurant, in someone else’s car, or in their fridge.
- Sore throats, colds, snotty tissues.
- Right now? National Blog Posting Month.
