Okay, the title’s pun is lame. So sue me. If you know me, you know you’d probably go broke suing me for lame jokes. Probably how I’ve escaped lawsuits so long.
I had my sleeping schedule nearly back around where I wanted it (you know, that up during the day/sleep at night crap :-) so of course I went and messed it up again. I got up around 10 am on Monday to go to lunch with some coworkers. It was worth it, even though I I got up at 7 pm on Saturday and couldn’t go to bed all night, so I ended up getting one hour of sleep before going to Church on Sunday morning, staying there until 3:30 pm to finish some stuff up (no evening service this week for extra finish-stuff-up time), then I stayed up really late (still on only one hour of sleep) and then, as I mentioned, got up at 10 am Monday.
Well, I did get to sleep by around 1 am Monday night, slept ’till noon on Tuesday, and then went out with some friends from my small group to eat and then go caroling. It was great, we took a church van (with permission :-) and after all seven of us stuffed ourselves at TGI Fridays we caroled at a pastor’s house, a newlywed friend’s house, tried another pastor’s house (no lights on so we didn’t stop), the house of one of the newlywed couple’s parents, and a stranger’s house that we passed that was so overdecorated with lights we nicknamed it the “Griswold’s”. I just Googled to make sure I spelled “Griswold” correctly, and found something else really cool that I’ll mention in a minute. Anyway, we had a lot of fun, but I was so tired and full of food when I got home around 10 pm that I only stayed up for a couple of hours to watch some TV and read, and I went to bed before I had a chance to blog. Actually I did take enough time to make a notepad entry in my Treo 600 for me to type in later, it said, “I have eaten steak thrice in the past hours twelve by two twice.” You know, since I ate steak three times in the past 48 hours. And I was still hungry when I went to bed at 2:28 am (I timestamped my Treo entry, of course).
That brings us to now. Or at least, today, when I woke up around 6:30 (pm, naturally). Got an email from Chad (he sent it at 4:30) saying he was going to be at church tonight with some free time to geek out on the Macs, so I met him there at 7:30 and we worked on setting them up some more for an hour and a half. It was snowing when we got there, but there was no accumulation on the roads, just the church parking lot a bit. When we were done there was about two to three inches on everything, including the highway, and I barely hit 40 mph once on the way home! We hadn’t gotten any snow at all on the north side of town earlier, but it had caught up wish us as well, and it’s still going strong as I write this. We’re supposed to have 8″ on the north side and 15″ inches down on the south side by the time it’s done. That’s where I get my title from, four paragraphs down (although I thougt of the title before writing any of it). Definitely looks like it’ll be a white Christmas this year, after having very good weather (for the most part) so far this year, including mostly warm temperatures. Anyone have some southern beach-front property (beach-front negotiable) they care to donate? :-)
This is getting a bit long, so I’ll move that comment I mentioned about my Google finding to a new post.
