A year ago today... and other random thoughts

A year ago today I left for furlough. How weird. Time has surely flown, and a lot of things have changed. Who knew a year ago I would leave International Teams, be moving to Croatia, be selling most of my earthly possessions once again... sigh.

So a year ago today my parents, sister, and a bunch of people from church met me at the Orlando airport celebrating with cookies and diet 7-Up the arrival of myself and all my luggage. Sounds like a great reason for a party :) I mean, seriously, how often does my luggage arrive with me?

Also a year ago today, I became a Mac user. I've decided in that regard it's been a good year. Out of 365 days, I've probably hated my Mac 4-5 days, as opposed to hating my other computer 360 days a year. So, 4-5 days isn't too bad, I mean, who doesn't hate their computer at some point? OK, probably not Donovan, but he really doesn't count. Happy 1st birthday sweet computer!

I was supposed to get a package from Fed-Ex today. Yeah... I can't believe I actually thought it would come on time. Hopefully I can figure out where it is tomorrow.

I was also supposed to take Skoobi for the rest of her vaccines today, but the vet wasn't there. Thankfully we called first before we hauled the pup into the car. I really wanted to get it done today, but alas. I'll have to wait until next week now.

I did bake three batches of cookies today, so that was productive. I made 2 batches of chocolate chip and one of my absolute favorite cookie in the world... any one wanna guess? I know Penni knows, and I think Jana knows... I can't believe I only ate 2 before I put the in the freezer for this coming weekends Bible study. Oh my gosh... they are SO good.

I bought my plane ticket for my sister's wedding. I'll fly into Orlando May 17 and leave June 11. Or something like that. The ticket wasn't too badly priced for that time of year, and I have a pretty good flight schedule. I definitely want to see a lot of you while I' m in town, but I can't schedule anything till I know when I'm flying to and from Oregon. But I'll do my best to see as many of you as I can.

I complained and complained to my sister about having to fly to Oregon for the wedding, and then she drops the bomb that she, are you ready for this, wants her bridesmaids to wear... YELLOW. But then she said, well, you find a dress you want to wear. So, I got to pick the style of dress... not too bad. And I found a nice one in yellow... Now I need to figure out how to get a suntan in winter...




Ok, well, that was all random and boring... sometimes that's just life :)
