I downloaded photos, yay!


So I finally got my act into gear and downloaded the photos off my camera... yeah. It's been a while... This is a pic of Eden my niece a month or two ago. Ah for the days of being little and your entire wardrobe being pink, sparkly or both :) ANYWAY.

Well it's official. I missed the 614 March Break camp. But my last couple of weeks were just as hectic as I remember camp being, but I didn't get sick :) I pulled a couple of 11 or more hour days; one 12.5 hour day... and all the while I was trying to get some stained glass window paintings done for a prayer room at Stafford corps. I averaged about 5 hours sleep each night this week. But I totally got the pictures done. Pity they were on cardboard, it doesn't really last...

Self Denial/OWSOMS is coming up, as is Easter :) I hope they have hot cross buns at my corps... they have done previously at a couple of Easters... I like hot cross buns... I don't think I can be bothered buying fairtrade easter eggs at the Oxfam shop though - expensive, and I'm not that desperate...
Hmmm. I agreed to doorknock for the Red Cross this week... I was given 13 house numbers to collect from... only problem was, exactly 3 of those houses actually seemed to be in existence. One house I left an envelope cos noone answered the doorbell; one house gave $2.10 and the last house was my house - my brother feigned brokeness, and my parents totally brushed me off. I am totally budgeting, and Oxfam and my sponsor child already have dibbs on my cash this month. I may include a note to the Red Cross people that only three houses they gave me existed... for future reference...
I really need to like, participate in a sport or something. This is depressing. I think I will go superpoke people on Facebook! To make up for my distinct lack of leisure time for a couple of weeks...

Engagements

Last Saturday and this Saturday I have been to and am going to engagement parties! (that was so much easier to say when they were both in the future and I could go, "I've got engagement things the next two Saturdays!" but anyway)
So the one just past was great but frustrating, great because after three weeks of fasting ended recently, I am finally allowed to eat loads of cool stuff, and it is totally awesome!!! Frustrating because I couldn't decide on a present, and ended up getting a gift card. Thrilling. Oh well, it will probably come in handy - they need all their house stuff, and they need a house, so yeah.

This weekend I have to dress smart casual (thank a heap Belle :P) so I had to buy shoes and stuff. And I still haven't got a present. It's not fair - they already have a house, and all the stuff they need for it. So I have very few choices/very little inspiration. I have till Saturday to get something AND wrap it... pressure...

So yeah! The computer at the state library (where I am right now) is telling me it will kick me off at closing time in 15 minutes, so I had better finish now.

Doei!
