Technically speaking


Okay I haven't broken my resolution! It hasn't been a full week since my last post so it's still 2 in one week if not a calender week! >_<

Anywho.....

So today is Monday the official day off for all church ministry people. I had planned an elaborately productive day but since I have not had more than 5-6 hours of sleep the last 4 nights I slept till 9:48 am! I had leftover apple pie for breakfast (more on that later!) and read for a bit in my bed! I am in desperate need of a shower, but it's still not working. Everything else works in our house. Washer, hot and cold, toilet everything! But not the shower! I have plans to go to a friends tonight and bathe but I feel really icky this morning. So instead of going about town like I have been on my day off, I have decided to stay inside! Since I felt icky I thought a little home beauty care was in order. I did my eyebrows, face mask, pore cleansing and hopefully a pedicure this afternoon! I love days off when you can pamper yourself just a little bit!

I have also been working on my CV, what the Irish call your resume. I can't remember if I mentioned it in my last post but I am going to try and get a job at a coffee shop here in town. Just 5-10 hours a week in the mornings. I have some time in the morning (I don't go to the Neglia's till 3 p.m.) that I'm wanting to fill with something productive and profitable! Times are hard in this economy and my support isn't what I hoped it would be. But God has provided me with the ability to be able to work in Europe so I'm going to try it! Please be praying that I find a job!

Back to the apple pie!

The American contingency in Cork were all busy Thursday so we planned to do Thanksgiving on Sunday! So yesterday we all got together at the Neglia's. Rachel did the turkey, her first which was amazing!, and the potatoes and vegetables. Dawn did the sweet potatoes, pumpkin pies and ham. Chris and Nada brought bread. And I did the stuffing and a spiced apple pie!
Everything was so amazing! I tried a new dinner strategy too! I used to put only a little and my plate and then go back for seconds (maybe thirds!). This time I piled my plate and took my sweet time eating it! I would eat then push the plate aside then chat and such and then pull the plate back! This had the added bonus of not having to get up from your seat, which though it might sound lazy, sometimes you are stuck in the middle seat against the wall and can't get out easily. Then it's perfect!
So we had a great time, the food was amazing the pies were classic and the company was impeccable! We played a really fun game too! I forget what they called it but it was Bible Charades. The only thing was you couldn't do anything with any member of the Trinity. No God, no Jesus, no Holy Ghost. Some did abstract things like "Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life" (that took us a while to figure out) to funny ones like the woman riding the beast and obscure ones such as the dog licking Lazarus' sores! It was a lot of fun!

This week is going to be a busy on as we have our Christmas ball on Friday. Tomorrow we shop, Wednesday I bake, Thursday we decorate and Friday we finish everything we haven't done!
So keep me in your prayers this week and I will we back on Wednesday or Thursday with another post!
Picture I took at the Cork City Museum. I am proud to be in Cork!
