Yup... still obsessed but enough about that....
so in case this happens to anyone else, member how my profile image was stuck? Or maybe I was the only one aggrevated about that.... Apparently if you upload a gif file there is some sort of glitch and all ya gotta do is click the remove image button and press the enter key at the same time several times and eventually the image goes away and you can put a new one! yay! I thought I was going to be stuck with those pretty little snowmen forever!
So nothing too eventful to post... we finally got our washer fixed a few weeks ago... so that's all back to normal. I've really been tryin hard to fold clothes as I take them out of the dryer so that it doesn't get all piled up on the clean end too... that just seems like a constant at our house but I know everyone seems to have laundry issues so blah....
We've been having really good Sunday School class discussions at church... we're actually doing a Women of Faith study... lol... the guys in the class get a chuckle out of that... but a few weeks ago when we had some of our worst weather, a new guy started coming to Sunday School and he actually ended up teaching the class his first week... well not really.. our SS teacher works for the phone company so he was busy restoring people's service because of the weather so we didn't have a teacher that week so we sort of had social hour and the new guy... his name is Will.. began talking and sharing about himself and he spent a lot of years in foster care until he was eventually adopted by his social worker... needless to say Jimmie and I are fascinated by him and spent a lot of time quizzing him about the do's and don'ts of foster parents... he's been back every Sunday since so I guess we didn't scare him off! lol... actually he seems to fit right in with the rest of us...
May I just say, I love my church family.... the longer we attend our church and the more we get settled in this area, the more it is beginning to truly feel like home... that is, I'd say, the hardest part about moving to a brand new area... you just sort of lose your bearings for a long time and feel like an outsider but we're starting to run into tons of people that we know every where we go and it's just starting to have that homey feeling around here more and more... I love that... I've missed that... growing up in Wilimington, I really took that for granted... I think we've even found some card playing buddies from church!
Another thing I'm thoroughly enjoying is that stinkin Facebook... the last two evenings I've spent chattering with some of Jimmie's family and I think that's cool cuz sometime I feel like I don't get to know them enough... also, that crazy Oklahoma bunch is starting to get in on the Facebook action too... and they are funny... I got so tickled reading about how my dad's sister Caroline was trying to teach her oldest daughter how to chat with her on Facebook... you'd have to know them to appreciate how funny that is... but there are just so many special people on all sides of my family that I'm getting to stay in better contact with thanks to this marvelous invention of the internet... lol
well... even as much as I like Facebook... I miss reading everyone's journal entries so I hope ya'll gravitate back here and make some regular entries... I miss typing out entries too... I miss my free therapy... and believe me I need it! lol yay a whole entry without mentioning my newest obsession by name... (see previous entry - I think I wrote enough about it there) Anyways... I'm currently re-reading the 3rd book... it's really just a great story... ... ok enough... I"m going to ruin the not mentioning the name of it... I'm such a dork... thanks for loving me anyways! lol
I will say this... the author, Stephenie Meyer, has a new book out called The Host... she describes her writing as science fiction for people that do not like science fiction... which would explain why my sister got in to the other series she wrote... I bought The Host but I've been too enthralled with this other series to read anything else... I've actually sort of gone on a book buying binge lately... I might be competing with Sherry! lol
ok bye
