Week in Review

January 20, 2006

What I really want to talk about at this moment is another Dumb Thing to add to my Dumb Things Series, but I’ll resist the urge. Wouldn’t want people to think I’m always focusing on the negative…even though I am.

So without that option, I got nothin’ (to blog about). So, I thought I’d provide my week in review. Not that my week is so exciting, but who knows, maybe something interesting will inadvertently leak out.

  • My email seems to be working again. That’s a good thing. I guess.
  • I’ve been waiting for a 10-lb.-weight-gain month during this pregnancy. I think this month is it and I think this week has been the biggest contributor. It’s mainly because I discovered a canister of chocolates my mom had left last time she visited. Dinner at Coldstone Creamery the other night didn’t help either.
  • I had a weird experience today. I was in the bathroom, washing my hands when I looked into the mirror at my face. I was startled. It’s because I looked different. In fact, I thought, “Wow. You don’t look half bad today.” Took me a few minutes to figure out why but I realized that last night was the first night in months that I actually slept through the entire night without waking up to go to the bathroom, comfort a crying child or fight some inner demon of mine. A few weeks ago someone was praying for me. In his prayer he said something like, “And Lord, I pray for her circulation.” Sounded bizarre to me so I asked him about it afterward and he said that sometimes I look a little “green” to him. Apparently he thought my circulation had something to do with it. I think my circulation is fine. I just think my dark circles extend to the far reaches of my face, thus making me look green. So when I looked in the mirror today, I thought, “Oh, this must be what it’s like to not look green.”
  • We had some friends over for a few days this week. That was good. They’re probably moving to Africa. I was jealous until my husband informed me that he thinks we’re going to plant a church in Mali someday. I’m cool with the Mali part—it’s the church planting part I’m not so sure about.
  • Here’s something worth noting: I actually wore something different today (and not my have-not-been-washed-in-over-three-weeks jeans and red or orange sweater as I explained here). I didn’t wear them so I could finally wash them. Unfortunately I had finished all the dark loads by the time I remembered to throw them in the laundry so they didn’t get washed after all. It probably means I’m just going to have to pull them out of the dirty laundry tomorrow. Nothing a little Febreeze won’t take care of.

    Amy,
    I found your site today and I had so much fun browsing around. I am another “not so typical” pastor’s wife. I will surely be back soon and often. I appreciate your honesty. Your candidness and “realness” are very refreshing.
    God Bless You,
