The (Not-So) Ordinary Life and Times...

I've been sponsored:)

I met my RCIA sponsor last night. She's awesome. We got along famously right from the start. I know we will be able to learn a lot from eachother too. Exciting!

I don't have a weekend this week because I have so much choir stuff going on. I work all day today and have two hours of rehearsal tonight. Then I have three hours of rehearsal tomorrow and then I close the store. Sunday I have an hour of rehearsal, a pre-concert talk (talk about what? good question), and a concert. Then my group for publicity class wants to meet at 7:30 Sunday night to talk about our project. Guess it's gonna be a Starbucks kind of weekend.

I only have two days of classes next weekend, though. Then it's home for Thanksgiving. But working (even part time) in retail means I have to work the day after Thanksgiving. The mall is opening at midnight. Who shops at midnight? Don't answer that. I know who. The crazies. Thank goodness we're not opening till almost 7 a.m. And even then I'm not scheduled until 3 p.m.

Happy Turkey Day everyone. Don't forget to count your blessings.

Birthday

I had a great day. My parents came and took me shopping, which is always fun:) Daniel came later in the afternoon and we all saw Bee Movie together. It was really cute. Then it was dinner at Splash. I LOVE SEAFOOD!! I had swordfish (my favorite) and we had a shrimp, crab, and lobster cocktail. Sigh...heaven. I got a new watch for my birthday and Dan got me the Chanel perfume I asked for. Overall, a great day. Later this week I think I'll go out with my girlfriends later this week. Have a good week everyone!

Champagne, anyone?

I love champagne. And my birthday is tomorrow, so why not change my background thingy? I told my mom I wanted champagne when we go out for dinner tomorrow night...I'm excited!

What is wrong with us?

I'm watching a report on CNN about the noose. There was a man speaking out against black people. He said the noose is a sign of justice. My mouth hung open for a good five minutes. I couldn't believe how vocal this man was. How...angry. I'm a middle-class white girl who will probably never deal with racism so directly. It just makes me really sad to hear the white supremacist man. And people wonder why the rest of the world looks at America like we're crazy!? It's because the truly crazy ones (like this man) are always the loudest.
