bullet points

Time for another bullet-point post.

* Time seems to have sped up since getting home from Maui.

* I miss Maui.

* Work has been going really well lately.

* Got food poisoning last Saturday night. I thought I was going to die.

* I'm re-reading one of my favorite novels, "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver. So good!

* My dad had surgery on his shoulder (he tripped and fell on it when we were in Maui - poor guy) and it was successful. Now he has about 6 weeks of recovery/physical therapy. This picture was taken right before surgery. What a ham.

* Baseball season is right around the corner!! Squeeee!!

* I am planning a trip to So. Cal to see my 6 month old godson soon. His cheeks need my kisses.

* About a year and a half ago, I had two crowns put in on the bottom right side of my mouth. On Tuesday, I was chewing gum and one came right out! Ack! So I went into the dentist Wednesday to get it cemented back in. It hurt like a mother! I'm so glad that's over.

* I died laughing at trivia the other night becauseI knew the movie with this quote: "And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty." My team thought I was nuts. (Know which movie this is from? Leave it in the comments.)

* For two weeks we had summer weather. 75 degrees, sunny, lovely. In February! But this past week has been rainy and cloudy. It's kind of nice. And I know we need it.

* My biggest news: tonight was my first night as an adult mentor at the college/young adult group. To understand, you can read this and this. I haven't been to the group since I changed jobs 6 months ago. But Adam (the young adult pastor) and I met last week and he said if I wanted to come back, they'd love to have me. I prayed about it and realized, yes, it was time. I was ready. I missed seeing the students. It will never be the way it used to be. And it will be weird not being the leader of the group. But that is okay.
