The Girls

The girls are getting together tonight. I’m so excited. It seems that it has been ages since we’ve had a sewing party and I miss our fellowship. Kris will be taking Owen out, so my time and attention can be focused on the fun at hand and I don’t have a lot of prep work to do in getting ready for everyone. The kitchen needs to be attended to but for the most part the house is already clean and I just need to maintain that until they get here.

I can’t wait to see what everyone will be working on and hear what’s been going on with the new babies and growing families and friendships. There is a good possibility that there will be a couple of new faces tonight and that is always very fun. Our circle is certainly not exclusive. I pray it is never perceived as such.

Enjoyed another good Bible study this morning. On the way there I was running late, my gas light came on and I realized that I had forgotten my $5.00 for the childcare. I considered turning around but just couldn’t. I really didn’t want to miss any of it. I am really enjoying it, which is somewhat different for me. I think this study is just a lot more challenging for me and I hunger for that. There was plenty of time for comments at the end of today’s session and I had so much to say that I just decided not to say anything. I was afraid I would take up the entire time with my realizations and enlightening moments of study. There were a lot of other good comments and it covered about 2/3rds of what I would have said, so I felt like I did the right thing. No one asked me for my $5.00 so I didn’t say anything and I’m going to bring $10.00 next week.

Valentines Day is coming up…I am looking forward to it, though I have no expectations. I’m sure I’ll dream some up before the 14th gets here, but for now, I’m just glad for an opportunity to be mushy.
