Yeah, HI! We're being awfully quiet, aren't we?
Too busy playing in the "together room". :laugh:
Poor neglected heathen room.
I had my massage! It was nice but my neck does not feel much better. She told me after that she could have spent days on my neck and shoulders and that maybe I should come back next week and just have her do that area. I know I hold a lot of tension there. It gives me headaches and sometimes it's hard to even turn my head.
I had such a hard time relaxing! I mean, I thought I was, and then she'd tell me to. At one point she was like, "You aren't going down easy are you?" How embarrassing! I mumbled an apology. Man, pressured to relax. Weird.
She also had nervous laughter which is really unnerving for me. You know how people laugh and everything they say even if it's not funny? It has me giving the obligatory giggle even though I have absolutely no idea why we are laughing about her saying, "I'm going to put this pillow under your knees so you don't have low back pain." (insert nervous laughter) :eyebrow: and "I don't keep weekend hours unless you get into a car accident or something and need immediate attention" (insert nervous laughter)
Luckily she didn't do that during the massage but before and after.
Finally jumped in over there. I feel like I am reading everything with my hands over my eyes, like I'm watching a horror movie right before something bad happens. so far so good...
:laugh: I know!Quote:

And I so want to start "Ask a UU" but I'm afraid I'll get in over my head. I'm not very good at debates, or explaining my beliefs. I wish sarahlynn were still around to back me up. LOL

My DH was at work until about 3am last night! :shock: WTH?? He was sick last week and he needs to do a lot of catching up, but still, 3am?!
I had to read this sentence about 5 times before it made sense. I skipped over the word "massage", so I read it as "Ooh it bugs me when therapists try to talk to me...I just want to relax..."Quote:

I needed a giggle this morning so thank you!Quote:

Oh cool, the minister at the church we just started going to said I could do new member orientation too. I think it starts sometime in March. What was it like?Quote:

I will probably eventually join but first I need to get in a habit of going more than once in a while. Plus they are going through a change where the minister retired and they have an interim right now and looking for a new one. Plus with building the house, we need to see how we handle a double payment (it will be twice what our rent is) and see what utilities are before we will know how much we could reasonably give.
Oh I think you mentioned that before, that your church was going through a transition. It was the same way with the church I went to before this one. Plus attendance seemed really low, but that might have just been because of summer.
If you want to do a joint "ask the UU" that might be fun :)
The UU near me does an orientation the first Sunday of every month. They must get a lot of stragglers. :laugh: I still haven't gone, but I really want to. I just haven't made it a priority yet.
You CANNOT judge a UU church by summer attendance! LOL Don'tcha know they basically take summers off. :) Well ours does still meet in the summer but it's much smaller and less formal and the topics are different than the school year ones.Quote:

This one is more like 15-20 minutes away and 10 is hard for me to be up and ready to leave the house by. I really wish that they had an 11am but they are expanding so maybe they will start doing two services with the new minister once they hire one.
Oh and it was nice to go to orientation and meet some other new people instead of going to service and runing out the door when it was over. LOL
LOL I know. I stick around for a few minutes of coffee hour just for the snacks, but I am horrible at approaching new people. It took a lot for me to introduce myself for the minister last week.
Grr! Days and days of misery and frustration due to my posting hiatus, and my average has only dropped by 0.01. And then I get all paranoid with the few posts I have made, wondering if someone is questioning why I responded to one post and not another. I might just have to give this up.
If there's one thing I've learned it's that I think most people are too worried about themselves to worry about something like that. If there are people who are noticing that kind of stuff, they aren't worth worrying about. JMHO
You are incredibly right!Quote:

:hi: ladies!
hehe Agreed!Quote:

I do have flour and some baking items.. ugh! I don't know!!
I am so totally a thread-killer, lol.
I noticed you hadn't been around because I was keeping up with your potty training escapades LOL
I started PTing Josh this week and I had been wondering how it was going for you.
:laugh: This thread ebbs and flows.Quote:
