More On My Mind




Today has been a good day.

I worked hard at the office, trying to wrap my brain around new duties, and drawing the line in the sand between pastor's wife and secretary. It's harder than it sounds. I did massively struggle with a dinosaur PC, making me oh-so-grateful for Mac here at home. If I ever wondered if our $1500 apple purchase last year was worth it, one day in my office wrestling with a PC reminded me that my Mac is worth it's weight in gold. I will never ever go back to PC for personal use, it's ridiculous. I, truely, had to restart my computer at the office five times today. And by restart I mean, manually unplug the thing from the wall, plug it back in and then try all over again. fun-ness.

But it was a good day. I love the staff already, so that makes it easy. Rob was gone a lot today though, so I missed him. The phones are a little complicated, so I'm working on that. I did design a new cd label for Pastor's sermons, that was cool. It was funnish to be creative on the job. I have a feeling they will use me a bit that way.

We are going in to Houston tomorrow to look more closely at a Vue. We've really taken the past two days to pray about our car situation. We are pretty set on a specific vehicle, but I want to do a bit more research and see if we could find something a little newer with a warranty. We'll see what the morning brings.

Our 90's night was a big success. Everyone was having a blast from the moment they walked in, dressed in their 90's best (not all, but most). We had a 90's playlist going and that really got people talking. Then we played the trivia game I killed myself putting together late last night. "90 Questions About the 90's" It was good fun.

Overall good day. Tired. Ready to see what the morning brings. Pretty sure our car is on it's last legs. I'm almost convinced it's getting worse by the day.
