The best laid plans of mice...

[Stage Notes:: People are trickling past my desk on their way out the door for the day, I on the other hand am sitting here waiting for the time to go like an over anxious school boy]

This weekend did not go in any way, shape, or form like it was supposed to. It all started Friday when I got home and got The Letter. I was pissed off and confused more than anything. Naturally my parents wanted to play 20 bazillion questions about it, which anyone who knows me well knows that I need time to reflect on things before I can have a real conversation about them. Prior to reflection time, I just might take someone's head off. After dinner I spent some time ranting at God...it was very Job like rant, complete with God's response. Ouch! There is honestly nothing more frustrating than wanting to be really friggin ticked off and knowing you have absolutely no reason to be. I spent the rest of the night watching movies and flipping through old magazines.

I woke up late on Saturday and was late getting to Velocity (the mini conference that Epic was having at Dave & Busters'). Overall, Velocity was a good time with lots of friends old and new, complete with green sprite that got spilled on me. At least it wasn't beer :) Spent the rest of the day running errands with the Gimp. Hit up borders, Salvation Army, Comp USA for their clearance sale, and a few stores at the Mall. Even found some pants at Steve & Barry's for Mexico for only $11!! Now I just need to figure out where I am coming up with t-shirts for the week.

The evening was spent with Dave and Emily at some of Emily's friends' house. We watched the State game (sad, but at the start of the season I was just going to be happy if the made the tourney and they put up a good fight). However, around 10:30 the night pretty much ended. A little pathetic for St. Patty's day :( Went home and messed around with some things before heading to bed.

Sunday morning I was off to Epic for church and the drama that I only knew about half of. My mom finally wanted to come, but I had to tell her not this week. I think she was a tad confused because this is the first time I think she was serious about coming, and I have been wanting them to come check it out. However, I really had no choice but to say not this week! Why? Well, because the whole message was about Porn. Yup, that's right, we talked about PORN in church. In addition, Lisa and I did a drama about Porn. I don't care who you are, nobody wants to be in the same room as there parents when the topic of porn comes up, let alone be in church :-P.

After service, a bunch of us grabbed lunch and headed to the Mexicali meeting which ran long, but was a riot. We practiced our 'Jesus feeds the 5000' skit, complete with Cinnamon toast crunch and Swedish fish rigged in the sleeves of the Jesus robe. If you want to know, you have to come to the Dinner this Sunday and see it live! Afterwards, a few of us headed to the Gimp's ice hockey game. If you think regular ice hockey is fun to watch, you should see it played in wheelchairs! Need I say more? Finished the night off by hanging at Chelli's Chili bar.

Not a bad weekend per say, just not entirely according to plan. That's it for now since it is almost time to call Monday finished!

If my friends actually listened to me and took me serious when I said I wanted a T-shirt that said, "Jesus drives a mini-van" I would have sent you one.

But I'm without said t-shirts and therefore, you are out of luck.

(Do you remember the story behind that?)

Aww, thanks :) Admittedly, I did not remember the story off the top of my head so I went and re-read it. You would think with the abundance of Christian themed products out there, someone would have made one. I mean if there are 'Jesus Loves Porn Stars' t-shirts, there really ought to be a 'Jesus drives a mini-van' shirt :)
