Today was great. I spent time working on the Parable website after I got up and spent the majority of the day on and off editing that as I was given notes. The site is nearly done, and ready for launch. I’m looking forward to putting this one on my resume. Around lunchtime I headed to Lewiston because I wanted a subway sub. The day before I had a Slimfast for two of my meals during the day, and I wanted some real food. So I get my car washed first and in front of me is the field in Lewiston where the Peach Festival is already setup and ready for use this weekend. When I pulled out of the car wash I saw some of the guys that travel with it standing outside. One was a mexican guy on the phone who pulled his shirt up and was rubbing his belly in front of everyone, yuck lol. I grabbed my sub at subway and headed home.
When I got in the door the house smelled good. Mom was cooking bacon (which I haven’t had in ages!) and I took a deep breath. Bacon smells awesome when it’s cooking, I think any man could agree. She made a huge BLT and there I sat eating my subway sub, lol. It was good though and for the first time in a while I finished the whole thing. Afterwards I continued to work on that Parable site until around 6:30 when I headed over to CORE at the church. What a great time that was. Lots of people I never would’ve expected to show were there. It’s funny because last year, it was almost always the same group, and now we’re getting people all the way from Vintage which is a shock to me but a welcomed one. Derek spoke tonight and did a fantastic job. He was a little nervous on Tuesday not knowing what he should preach on and waiting for God to give him something, and he did give him something good eventually. Derek is a good speaker, and I think that’s because he has a lot of passion for what he says. Not that some others don’t but he communicates that passion well and presents his message in a way that gets your attention.
Afterwards I hung around for a bit and talked to people, all the while resisting the ice cream they had sitting there for a snack with M&M’s and chocolate on it…ugh. I headed over to Jenny’s party with Jason and got hungry on the way but resisted. I had this idea in my head I would be getting fast food at 1am…and was fine with that. The party was great
It was Jenny’s “coming home” party I guess, to welcome her back to NY. She’s from Germany and went home for a visit so we’re glad to have her back. Everyone was singing karaoke, and we played this game where you were given a thing, place, statement, etc. and would have to describe it but couldn’t say the actual words and people had to guess what it was before the buzzer went off. We played that for hours, like 2 and a half I think. I got some of the worst words possible. At one point I got “Frick & Frack,” “Xandu,” and “Dagwood Bumstead.” What the heck is that! LOL. Either way good times and me and Jason split at like 12:30 or so.
On the way home I stopped at Burger King for a whopper (mmmm) and Jason went to Taco Bell for some chicken taco he was raving about. Fast food at 1am…what’s sweeter? I hadn’t eaten a ton during the day so it was OK
I’m still 200lbs, no big deal ha ha. Overall the day was great, and tomorrow will be another day of fun and work. I’ve had a lot of days like that lately and I think it’s starting to grow on me.
