"" rollin thunder, pourin rain...."

doing: work. working on my backup of wedding albums.....
listening to: whatever Pandora station Jeff left on. its got lots of Metallica on it.. i'm not too impressed
feeling: like crap! the soda i wanted is giving me a headache instead of an energy boost!

the weekend was good. we watched the Hawks game at our house on Saturday! i was really very happy that we got to stay home! mostly because the game was right in Ethan's nap time, so he go to actually take one. but also because i just really wanted to be home! i'm glad that we are basically a mobile group so we can watch together on almost all Saturdays! plus our tv freaking rocks!! HD Hawks?! hells yes!!

i got to do lots of nothing this weekend which i enjoyed. i like my down time. and i also enjoyed it more because i didn't have a pile of laundry to do and our house was basically clean! Matthew was super nice and cleaned and vacuumed both our cars out. mine needed it bad bad bad! i swear i kept meaning to do it, but then ended up working on something else!

Sunday at mass there was a blessing for those of us that are traveling to KC this week for NCYC! of course that involved me, since i'm going... duh. but also two of my senior girls gave a Stewardship Talk at mass. they did an EXCELLENT job! i was truly blown away! and seriously, if that talk didn't hit a couple high schoolers into re-thinking the youth group "thing" nothing will. excellent job!

Monday was a crazy day for me. well, not terribly crazy, but i had a specific list of things that i needed to get done regarding NCYC. i'm quite nervous about this trip mostly because i'm in charge! sure i've been to events like this before, but always as a pilgrim... not at the leader of the flock! of course, there are 21K people that will be there... so its not like we can get too lost or anything! its just keeping track of kids and keeping on our schedules. the kids we're taking are good kids, so i'm not really worried about them at all. i'm just worried about the schedule more than anything.

in the end i know it will be a fun weekend! i'm hoping that the kids come back with some sort of fire in their hearts! this should be a deep experience for some-if not all-of them!


my day started out decently. i'm still tired, but thats cause i stayed up late to watch E!'s Top 10 Vampires we Love! hehe! yes, i'd like to become a vampireologist! RobPat was #1! and why wouldn't he be?! Edward is pretty much the hottest fictional character EVER!

to that comment..... i am MISSING the opening of New Moon! i'm SO bummed!!! especially since this movie has like 100% more hype than Twilight! there are specials galore, red carpets and midnight showings.... that i won't get to partake in. some of my girls from church, that are going to NCYC, are super bummed about it too! we might have to plan a matinee trip when we get back to town on Sunday!


other than all of that my week is going to be pretty boring. i hope that i can get plenty of sleep, i remember to pack my underwear in my suitcase and i dont freak out before Thursday comes! i'll be golden!

well, back to work for a bit. its almost 4! i have an order and then i get to go home! i'm excited to go home! i want my sweatpants and a hot cup of tea!
