Random Monday

 Let's see just how random I can be:

• Tonight is the last of all our performances for December. Last week was two of The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. Very exhausting. Tonight is recitals for choir, puppetry arts, tone chimes and dance. Looking forward to a few weeks away from the cooperative to regroup.
• Female issues in your 40s is the pits. I will be having a smallish procedure on Friday. Your prayers would be appreciated.
• Me and Grace cheated a bit this week with food. Still trying to adhere to Weight Watchers as best we can during the month of non stop parties associated with eating. I still lost one pound and Grace stayed the same. 
• Only one more present to buy, buts lots of stuff that still need to be made for the family Christmas baskets we are giving this year.
• Loving participating with Journey to Bethlehem from Bow of Bronze. Last night we made cinnamon dough ornaments. The house smells wonderful.
• Currently baking blondies for the recital tonight and I won't even be able to eat them. That is just torture.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas. God Bless.

Random Monday

• The month of December is literally going to kill me. I think we have things scheduled nearly every day until the 18th of the month. 
• Getting ready (going crazy) preparing for two performances next week of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I am the lighting and sound person. Three days of three hour practices and dress rehearsal this week.
• My baby chickens (4-5 months) keep squeezing out of the fencing and we have to go chase them down and herd them like sheep back into the backyard. Driving me nuts!
• Weight Watchers is still going great. I have lost 11 pounds and Grace has lost 8. Going to Zumba tonight to hopefully work off another pound. 
• Went out this weekend with the hubby on a five hour date. Shopping, dinner and a movie. We say Red Dawn at the theater. Typically we see about two movies a year at the theater. Going next month to see The Hobbit. One item about Red Dawn that I wasn't expecting....the kid that played Josh in the Nick show Drake and Josh was one of the lead characters. I just could not get past this, every time I looked at him I could not take him seriously. All I saw was Josh.

Random Monday

One of my all time favorite bloggers, Deb over at Not Inadequate, has started a Random Monday link up. If you are not reading her blog you need to go and check it out. This lady is funny!!! So here is my go at a Random Monday link up:

• Tonight I go to a three hour volunteer training meeting at the state prison in our area. I am part of a prison ministry team that will hopefully be going in one Saturday a month to help in the child care center where mothers get to visit their children twice a month. We would be responsible for activities and lunch during a 6 hours shift.
• Did you ever meet a person that just knocked your socks off with encouragement and you were so impressed with them and their accomplishments you wanted to get off your bum and  do whatever you could for those less fortunate. Well, that is what happened to me this week. I had another meeting this last Friday with a woman that heads up a huge prison ministry through the local detention center. She has her hands in all aspects of ministering to women in prison, addiction recovery, and after they get out. I really want to work with this organization.
• This week is going to be a crazy one. Every single day is full of something. Praying I keep it all together.
• Wednesday I take my mom to an appointment to find out test results, praying they are good. Also get to visit with a friend that moved away.
• One of our younger Buff Orpingtons crowed for the first time this morning. He sounded sick. Definitely needs improvement. 
• Working on our next semester schedule for the cooperative I run with a friend. Lots of great classes will take place. 
• I am reviewing a tax school program for TOS and it is kicking my tail. I WILL persevere and finish the whole program.
