The Weekend Is Almost Over!
I can't believe that this weekend is almost over already. I want weekends that are more than two days long. Think we will ever get there?
The bridal shower that I went to yesterday was fun. I didn't want to say what "the party" was before, in case my friend happened to read my blog. I was nervous about it because it was at her fiance's parent's house, and I have a strange relationship with them. I used to be like family, but am not anymore, so I am always nervous around them, especially his mother. But I was nervous for nothing. I did not feel unwelcome or strange at all. In fact, being there made me miss his mother's friendship. We used to be very close - we worked together, commuted together, went on trips together. Then things changed and we lost touch. Normally when I see her now, it is at her son's house so she is not in her own element and is not as comfortable. Seeing her in her own home where she was comfortable and surrounded by her friends and family, she was more like her old self. I heard her laugh and missed her terribly.
So the day turned out so much better than I anticipated. And my girlfriend and her fiance got lots of cool stuff. It was also a chance to meet some of the other people going to Jamaica with us for their wedding. I think we are all going to have such a good time!
My girlfriend loved the card I made and thought the new technique (yesterday's post) I used was really cool. I love making cards for people who appreciate the thought, work and love that goes into making them!
Today, I taught my son's Sunday school class. Teaching is a profession that is not meant for me. I don't like being the one in control. I don't like having to correct the kids and ask them to listen. But I got through it and kept the kids under control. I feel good for having served my church in this capacity.
I think this afternoon I am going to head to a scrapbook store to do some shopping. I have a gift certificate to use. I need to disappear for a while and do something for me. And I might as well treat myself to lunch while I am at it!
