the mish-mash

[eleneariel]

Come on, guys, help me with what to do with my computer.  I like to make decisions after lots of imput. I'll probably still go with my gut instinct, but it makes me less stressed about deciding.

(Every time I see his family, I feel like they hate me.) 

The elders at church have started a new program: Faith and Family night, Thursdays 6:00-9:00 pm. A meal together, then various studies and discussions. Although it sounds like a grand time, and I'm all for promoting fellowship and study within the church, I feel evil for being glad I work til 9:00 on Thursdays. Even if I had that evening free, it would be really hard to give up one of my two evenings a week at home. Especially since I already spend Sunday and Wednesday nights at church...yeah, now I really feel evil. 

(But maybe if God had wanted me to be gone all the time, He wouldn't have given me a love of coming home?)

Er.

There was a baptism this morning. I cried. I've been so emotional today. 

I'm embarking on a calligraphy project for savetheolives. It's been so long since I've had a big art thing to work on. *rubs hands together* I'm looking forward to it. I already have three colors of ink on my hands from some rough drafting this afternoon.

(REAL calligraphy pens--with wooden handles and metal nibs and small bottles of ink with names like tobacco and auburn--are the only way to go.) 

Saturday's birthday shopping trip was a grand success. We ate lunch at what I have decided is the coolest coffee shop evah (they had a Terry Pratchett book on the bookself!). And I bought some clothes that make me very happy. Like the Ann Taylor skirt that I didn't realize was silk until I got home and read the tag. 

Um. I want some more French silk pie. 

(I want to go dancing.)

Sorry... can't help with computer questions!

Oooo. the calligraphy project sounds fun! I love writing with calligraphy pens...or any pen that writes really well. I love writing peoples names and such. I would love to try it with REAL calligraphy pens as you say.

I can relate about the spending evenings at church thing. It's very hard to spend all day at work and then come home and not have your evening either. :\

By the way, I haven't forgotten about the money I owe you! Gah, I'm such a horrible procrastinator. =P Anyway, it should be going out to you this week.

There's nothing better than real calligraphy pens. I may need to break out my set again, that sounds wonderfully fun.

Real ink has such a different look to it. =)
