Lately

There has been so much on my mind lately, but I have not had the time to sit down and blog....

Remember the job that I applied for a few weeks ago. I just received a confirmation email saying that my application has been forwarding to the selecting committee. It really does not mean much, but it is one step closer to actually being offered the job. Um, I really don't want it. Why did I apply? Because I'm stupid. Because this job isn't totally secure and the other is. Because I was tired of letting good opportunities go to waste. Because I wanted a back-up plan. Huh, sounds like I just took complete control of my life, doesn't it? It totally contradicts letting God take control of my life. So pray that God's will will be done... Either I'm not offered the job and/or that God will give me guidance as to what decision to make.

Okay, I cannot hold back anymore. Last Tuesday, the day I was leaving Sumter, I received a text message from Frederick around 0930. He found a plane ticket for $200 for a few day's visit in the middle of May. I melted over his efforts to get me back asap. :) I was hesitant to jump on board at first, since he is potentially going to on the Gulf coast in June. But he brought it up on the phone the next day, asking that I make sure that  I can take off of work again. I asked. There were no problems. The plane tickets doubled in price. Grrr. But we found a direct flight from Gulfport to Charlotte for 100 bucks cheaper than flying to Charleston for May 16-21. We booked that baby last Thursday, and Miss Ariel has agreed to take me to and from the airport. So let the countdown begin... one day shy of a month away!!

I have my work cut out for me with this new chart. The data is super cruddy, and I am having to spend all of my valiant efforts on taming those nappy dots. This is a good thing. I am working!

I guess this is it for now. Back to work.....
