"Man is not cut in half, he is drawn together...."

I want to keep today's blog short. "Want" being the operative word!

I was woken by my sister again today. This time at around 7:20. Luckily for her, I was planning to wake up 10 mins later ate 7:30. I had a mtg downtown and needed to get a move on things, asap. The meeting wasn't too bad. A lot of it covered familiar ground, but I did learn a few things. And the best part was the tour of the Freedom Center - the new printing press for the OWH. Last time I worked there, I left just before the new press was set to start. I don't regret that in the least because I heard there were all kinds of problems those first few months. Now, things are sailing rather smoothly. I was about to say smoothing rather saily. The stupid things that pop into our heads, eh?

I met up w/ my sister today for lunch. We went to the Brandeis bldg, and I was thrilled because they had a gyros place. I hadn't had a good gyro in months. It really was quite satisfying. I wasn't hungry when I got home, so my dinner was rather small. Thankfully, Mom left me some macaroni salad so I had something semi-healthy for dinner. When I got home i baked a cake. I wish I was more of a food person, but I'm not. I used a mix in a box and baked a chocolate cake. It turned out great. Since I was hosting BS tonight, I was to provide the after-study treat. And i was complimented on my skill. :) Considering it was my first time baking a cake, I too was surprised by how it turned out.

My aunt called to let me know they are doing a sloopy joe dinner at the church Wed. I might have to check it out. Mom and Dad made to to Orlando today. It was sprinkling there so I guess they didn't get much sight-seeing done. Hopefully tomorrow. They had one picture they emailed us - but not much else. I'm still waiting on the Norwegian sweaters!

Back to the cake... everyone liked the cake. And I filled up the dishwasher with the dirty plates and forks, but it still isn't quite full enough. BUT that still leaves some baking-ware to clean up. Not wild about that idea. I want to wait until tmw. Don't know what I'll do for lunch tmw. Have another mtg DT, this time w/ the lawyers. A few of us talked about carpooling. I hope I can survive that trip w/ Tom. He's a smoker, so I'm not wild about the idea of riding in his car, but I would rather him drive than me drive. At least I didn't have to deliver pprs today, and hopefully won't on Thu and Fri. There's talk of bowling on Fri. There was also talk of going to see another Creighton soccer game this wknd.

We had a new person at BS - a friend of Chrisitian and Heather, Beth. She seemed pretty nice. A little gruff voice. And she wasn't wild about her height. Definite sports nut - more so than me. Not sure what that does to my masculinity. Met a nice young woman DT today, named Sarah, but she is dating some guy so that was a non-starter. Jeesh... what's on my mind today?

Blessednicty! Thanks Brian. And thanks Brother Merton.
