It is better
Okay, in the last post I had to rant a bit; things are better. Today was my last day of work until September 2, 2008. I am actually starting to relax a bit. I have attended convocation every night. The services have been very good; not too much drama. I am very, very tired; my daily complaint, oh yeah, no complaining in this post. I am looking forward to going on the road next week to visit my family. My niece Ayana has already asked to come visit me next summer. We had a nice time with her last year when she visited; she makes me laugh. She is so intelligent and has such a fresh prospective on things. I am anxious to quilt and will not be able to until I return from Virginia. I want to make a lap quilt for my neighbor; she has arthritic knees. I also have to finish the quilt for my coworker. I am at church right now and it is 11:30pm. The youth are having a party and I am in the office writing on my blog and eating pizza. It is so good to be able to enjoy life and not just live life. Good night.

Nice Weekend
It seems that all I ever do is write about the weekend, but that is what I live for; enjoyment on Friday night, kick back Saturdays, and relax after church Sundays. Errol and I went to the church convention in Detroit Friday night (I called in sick on Friday - I just needed some extra sleep and some rest). I met up with my cousin Sandy - it was great to see her. Saturday was a relaxing day, nothing special. Sunday afternoon was busy; we went with Justin to set up instruments for the upcoming convocation.
I will be glad when convocation is over; I am sick of dealing with church politics. People thinking they are too important to do the grunt work, but always wanting to give orders and be in front of the crowd. Other people not doing anything significant until the crowd is around, and other people not knowing how to run things, pushing aside the people who DO know how to run things. It is never good this time of year, and Lord forgive me, but I don't look forward to this meeting and I breathe a sigh of relief when it ends. Because once it is over, I can concentrate on vacation, which is the most important event in my life right now. I NEED A SERIOUS BREAK FROM WINDSOR, HARRISON MEMORIAL CHURCH AND ST. CLAIR COLLEGE.
Have you even been in a place where you do not want to deal with responsibility (laundry, paying bills, groceries, cooking, housecleaning, drive this person here or there), you do not want to deal with people and their junk, you don't want to deal with church junk, and phony church people, and you wish everyone would just leave you alone. WELL, THAT IS WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW, WHICH IS THE REASON I NEED A BREAK!!!!!!
I talked to my sister and I am getting so excited about getting to Virginia. We have the week planned and I will just enjoy being free to go about my day as I please. Pray that I make it through this week without having to go to the altar to ask for forgiveness for shooting off my mouth.

Great Weekend/Holiday
I had a fantastic weekend; the girlfriend party was nice, we had Ukranian food; deviled eggs, spinach dip, taco dip, borsht, pierogies, cabbage rolls, kasha. The company was nice. Saturday, Errol and I went to the Greek Fest; I had flaming cheese and souvlaki; sorry Ayana, I don't like gyros. There was a concert at church that evening; it was such a blessing in song. Sunday afternoon, we went to Errol's cousin's house for a farewell/birthday party. We had not seen these people in ages, even though we live in the same city. We had such a good time; the food was the best. I made brownies because I know they enjoy them.
Monday evening I cleaned house; my neighbor tampered with the cable box and we lost cable for a bit. I called the company and they had the nerve to tell me it could not be fixed until THURSDAY!!!! Unacceptable!!!!!! One of the other neighbors came out, plugged in a wire, punched in a couple numbers and everything was back up and running. I went shopping around 11pm because the store was open and Justin had to work until midnight. There was a drawing for $100, and there were only 10 names in the box. OF COURSE I DID NOT WIN.
Tuesday, I barbecued for the Canadian holiday; ribs, chicken, pork tenderloin, shrimp, and steak. My friend from Detroit paid me a surprise visit and we enjoyed her and her children. Went to Bible study, came home and pulled weeds at 9:30 at night. I am at work now, ready to go home; I filed about 100 files (ugh), and made a list of what I have to accomplish before 12 noon July 11, 2008 (my last day before vacation). It is cold here in the basement, so I am ready to leave so I can warm up outside. I was going to Detroit to the convention tonight, but no one wants to go with me. I would go alone, but I don't do parking garages at night, especially in Detroit. My phobia!! I guess I will stay home and work on my quilt since this would be my night for quilting class anyway. Maybe I will get to bed early, I need the sleep. Such is this post for today.
