i know that i am like the rain...

sorry about the buttmunching post.  i was just jabbing the giant, which of course is an alliteration.

i just finished working out.  there's something about working out at night.  i feel so strong!  i feel like i can really slam it like moxy fruvus.  i remember i used to love running at night too.  now i know why.  usually when i work out in the mornings i feel like i'm just trying to survive the work-out, just doing my time, you know?  but then i feel more charged up during the day.  i think i enjoy myself way more in the pm.  but then it's a crap shoot whether i'll ever get it done after work and in the mornings it's done and out of the way.  that's the low down folks.

i've been listening to my ipod shuffle and it's fun.  it's fun to do the moves to the beat.  this is the same ipod shuffle that fatima gave me for christmas one time.  the same ipod shuffle that purified with a little time (2+ weeks) in the freezer.  amazingly it came out just fine.  that's my blessing.  thanks, i appreciate it.  i'm listening to it right now and lemon grove avenue just came on and i had to stop and sing along because that's one what one does with lemon grove avenue.

i have some of my favourite general conference talks sprinkled throughout.  i like to mix and match this way.  i like surprise spiritual nourishment.  i say yes to this kind of ambush.

last night i did something fantastic.  are you ready for this?  i threaded my sewing machine!  i even wound a bobbin!  i mean can you believe this??  later i took a break from giving myself a lot of pats on the back and i sewed some practice stitches.  woah, hey?  i know, i know.

so yesterday the february social calender was sent to us.  i was curious as to what i was assigned to do.  i confess that i was quite eager to know.  so i opened the file with anticipation.  --ugh.  swimming.  hi.  i like swimming.  love it even.  but i don't love wearing a bathing suit with work people.  i just don't.  so i begged lisa m. to change my night.  she was good about it.  instead i get to do the valentine's dance.  i'm excited about this. it's over two weeks away but made theresa have a planning meeting with me today.  it's funny i don't like being in charge of events but social nights--i like it.  anyways, we're going to have a casserole that i can make ahead of time so that the day of the social can be spent decorating and stuff, and a girly salad.  and we're going to have strawberry short cake with the short cakes shaped like hearts.  heh--mush!  we're going to have hearts hanging and valentines under the chairs at the 'banquet'. potted flower centre pieces/prizes, fun dances, like of course the chicken dance (just kidding.  no i'm really not kidding.) spot light dances, freeze frame etc.  it's going to be fun.

you know there's no worries about perfection when i do clubhouse things like this.  i just care about making it fun and special and i don't really care what other people think.  i know the people are going to appreciate it.  that's the difference.  it's like the 'stories' we do.  there's a freedom from paralyzing expectations.  innerstin.

today i got a notice that i have to pay more hydro.  blah.
