Monday before Thanksgiving

Today I did not want to come into work. My sister Jackie has the entire week off because of Thanksgiving (she's a teacher). I came in anyways, and now as the day is wrapping up - I'm glad I did. We have a big service this coming weekend as we start a new series for Christmas. The staff has decided to raise money to build a well in Africa. The goal is $12,000 but every $10 saves a child's life. I think we can do it. We'll reveal our plans to the church body this coming weekend.



In order for this weekend to go well, there are tons of logistics that need to be done. Both Robby (children's pastor) and Bucky (lead pastor) are out of town, so I feel like there is a lot to do without them. Reality is I would have just as much to do with them here. I guess I'm seeing how much no one on our staff makes a decision by themselves, but we check everything with each other. It's a great value to have, but hard to get things done quickly.



Anyways, after printing 300 pages of one flyer (2 per page, double sided of course) I printed 100 more of another (2 per page, single sided), another 100 (full page, single sided, not cutting needed!!!) and lastly, 100 envelopes with our logo on it. TONS of printing today which means TONS of cutting tomorrow. That is probably the WORST part of my job.



I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and there is an Office Max next to the building I'm going to. Maybe I'll drop everything off and pay them to cut all of my flyers? That's sounding like a good idea right now.



Okay, a little of my OCD- I hate cutting papers myself because it's boring as heck, but it's almost as bad for me to give the papers to someone else, because they don't take the time to cut everything perfectly! We'll see what I end up doing.



I can't wait for this weekend to be over because that implies all the little tasks will be completed. I am looking forward to seeing how the church responds to the staff's idea for Christmas though. Hopefully everyone will participate.



Anyways, I best be going. I am so hungry right now and I still have a ton of work to complete. Wish me luck. Well, something other than luck I guess seeing how I don't believe in it ;)...

Today's Thoughts

Since I have 2 friends who told me I need to update my blog, this is for you Stacey and Jon. Today I woke up around 7:45am. It was really hard to get out of bed because I had just worked out last night and my body was sore. I did manage to get out of bed, however, and then I took a short shower.

On my way to work today, I went to Deb's house to discuss some website layouts for the church website. I think it was a very productive time.

I drove to the office, got a ton of work done before Bucky got in, and even had some time to sit and chat with Robby.

Once Bucky got into the office, I had to ask him some last minute questions before I could send out some final emails on communication pieces for the church (website and water bottle labels), but I finished it all just in time.

I couldn't be late to picking Kirby up today because we had plans to get Baskin Robins after school in honor of her 10th birthday! I watched this tiny little girl devour 2 scoops of coffee ice cream. I was very impressed.

Now I'm at the Black's house. Kirby is doing homework, and Avery should be home soon. I have guide group tonight, maybe going to the gym again (?), but really need to buckle down and clean my room before Friday.

Thanksgiving is almost here, which will be so much fun because I have a lot of family coming over... and Jonny will finally get to meet Nene and Papa!

That's all for today. At least I think...
