grace eventually.

One of the things I love about the internet is that it's always changing...improving. This year I've been very excited that I can catch my favorite tv shows that I may have forgotten to record on the internet the next day. So when I remembered that Grey's was on last night and I was in Monroe with friends, my panic quickly dissolved when it occurred to me that I could watch it this afternoon. Friday is my day off...perfect time to catch up on those very important tv shows. Only now....I can't get it to work!!! I tried around 10:30 and I just tried now. It says it's loading and then nothing...just a black screen. So now I'm reconsidering this whole watching tv on the internet deal. Maybe I've depended on it too much and should go back to recording those shows just in case the internet fails me as it has today.

I know some would say that 30 is too young to start experiencing memory loss, but I swear it's happening. Case in point: today Julie, my wonderful intern who is no longer now that the quarter is over, and I were driving to the bank. I had carried a lot of stuff out to my car because when we got back we were going to be working on Sunday School stuff in the other building. I had my paycheck on top of my stack since we were going there first. We get to the bank and I reach for my check and it's gone. We start searching my car and purse frantically with no luck. I tell the teller that I've misplaced my check and will return shortly (hopefully). I pull around to one of the parking spots and get out, thinking maybe it had fallen in my seat. After a few more minutes of searching, I decide that it must still be on my desk (even though I was certain I had it with me). Just as we are getting ready to pull out of the parking lot, Julie points to my visor and says, "Wait! Didn't you put it up there?" Yep, it's true. Suddenly I'm flooded with the memory I had been searching for. When I got in, I slid it in my visor so that I wouldn't lose it! Who knew that I could lose it in 10 minutes time? We laughed a long time over that one. I told Julie that she can't leave me...how am I going to remember where I put things from now on?!

Yep, I bought it today. I know that it doesn't end well and it's not the best season ever but as I walked by it in the DVD section I could hear the girls drawing me in.."Give us another chance...your set is not complete until you have us all." Of course, I also don't have seasons 1-4, but one day...one day I'll be a Gilmore Girls complete season owner.

Today I began feeling very overwhelmed...and tired. I'm not even sure why. I guess that's not completely true. I have a lot going on and I have a hard time giving anything up, but the truth of the matter is that I need to slow down. I'm not sure what that's going to look like, so I press on til Friday when I'll finally have a day off again. At least next week I'll have Thursday, Friday and Saturday off. It couldn't come at a better time...I am thankful for Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday.

I was in the Ruston Daily Leader yesterday (Sunday) for the movie we're working on. You should definitely check it out. Unfortuanately it wasn't so newsworthy that they included in on their website. Sorry for those of you who don't live in Ruston.

I just got word that Shane Brue passed away yesterday. I knew him from my time working in the Doctor of Ministry Office at Asbury and is also the brother-in-law of my good friend, Juli Peak. Shane was diagnosed with colon cancer in July of 2006 and has been fighting hard ever since. He leaves behind is wife, Jill, and their 5 precious children. The last time I saw Shane and the family was at Juli's wedding which coincidentally was one year ago today. Please pray for the Brue family as well as the church he's been pastoring the last year and a half, First UMC in Big Spring, TX.

Please forgive me for not blogging yesterday. I simply forgot. I suppose it may be because I spent so much time on Friday making my space look so stylish and inviting to all who visit. I realize that part of being a member of NaBloPoMo is blogging everyday for the month of November. I have failed. Of course I didn't actually join until November 2nd making me a doomed daily blogger from the get-go. Please accept my apology. I will try to do better.

Sincerely,
Cece
