9:11 pmMerry Flippin Freak-Out
Ok, so it’s been a few days since I last posted. And whenever I go several days without posting, I start obsessing about what I will write about, and think about how it has to be stellar writing because my readers (all 5 of ya) have been waiting and now I gotta post something meaty to chew on.
Well, so sorry. But instead of blogging “steak”, you will be feasting on stale bread and water this evening. Because all I’ve got for you is a small holiday freak out. Ho freakin ho.
Today was a tough day at church… well, not so much “tough” as “there were a million things to do, which gives me a million opportunities to drop the ball at some point”. We had treats to prepare and deliver, I had a lesson to teach (and for some reason, teaching a room of small children still makes me sweaty and my voice quivers… like I’m in high school AP English class all over again, giving an oral report on a book I never got around to reading)… where was I? Oh right, treats to deliver, lesson to teach, “meet your teacher” activity to plan, announcements to… well, announce. And to top it off, I found myself standing at the front of the primary room with thirty little pairs of eyes staring at me judgementally because I couldn’t figure out how to get the DVD player from the library to work, and those little pairs of eyes weren’t getting to see the video of baby Jesus being born. Make it work, dumb teacher, the eyes say to me. Press play… how hard is that??
Harsh.
But now Sunday is over and tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Yay! I am breathing a big sigh and pressing play on the iPod. Boney James Christmas is soothing and puts me in a terrific mood. Tomorrow is nothing but hot chocolate and Christmas tunes, last minute wrapping and — in fact — last minute gift buying. (I know, I’m being one of those people this year.) But I only need to last-minute-shop at the Bosch store, which I’m guessing isn’t all that crowded on any given day. Even Christmas Eve. (Ok, knock on wood.) Nothing more to worry about until Christmas Day, when we won’t spend enough time at one of the relatives homes and someone’s feelings will be hurt, and I’ll fret about it and mentally note that we will need to spend more time at that person’s house at Easter.
Yes, it is hard being neurotic, why do you ask?
More in the morning, when I have more space between me and this day.

Neurotic? Really?
Oh, I’ve never been there. Tee hee.
Merry Christmas to you, Ms. Suz. Enjoy your time with family.

You have video of Jesus being born? That’s impressive. And all the more disappointing that no one got to see it…(hehe)
I hope this pause between Sunday & today means only that you are enjoying the holidays with your family and not recovering in a closet from a nervous breakdown.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

@Stephanie- yeah, it’s a bootleg copy… not many people have seen it. Some shepard finally put it up on YouTube.
