What's the point?

I don't get it at all. Don't see the appeal. Why on this earth does someone want to buy a Hummer for her husband without knowing if he really even wants one? Even better, why does someone want to buy one at all? Just seems like a big waste of money to me. And I have to sit here and listen to it. Gripe over.

I started practice files for MT work this last week. I'm really excited about the work. I'm shooting for March to be out of this office job and either in a part time office job and part time MT or full time MT and subbing some days.

So looking forward to Thanksgiving. My parents, grandmother, brother and sister-in-law will be here next Wednesday. I can't wait! We'll send Clayton to their hotel room Thursday after he gets home from work so he can sleep while we cook.

We've been quite the busy bees this week. I spent all day Saturday with my friend doing some shopping. Too bad it wasn't for Christmas. Just general stuff that we need. Sunday was church. Monday, I got a phone call from said firend (ha-that sounds southern! and yes, i realize it's misspelled). Clayton and I were planning on going to her daughter's soccer game that night. Her husband wanted to know if we wanted to go out to eat with them before the game. Now, this is not so unusual, except that she and her husband are separated (for the moment...looking good right now for them to get back together) and we've only done one other thing with the two of them (and their children). I was excited. We also got together with them last night to eat. (Way too much eating out this week). Her husband offered us some centipede grass that he had cut from around the sidewalk and driveway, so we went to her house to pick that up and ended up staying around talking. I'm really hoping that this turns out to be a good thing...that they get back together and that we all do stuff together often. It's really good to have IRL friends to do stuff with as a family. I didn't realize how much so until this week.

Now that I've caught you all up on my life (sorta, anyway), I've got to get to preparing Mission Friends activities for tonight. We're making tambourines and an imitation patchwork quilt. Should be interesting.
