whoa, nelly
blogger's interface is ginormous. it's huuuuuuuuuuuge, like sputnik!
winding down from the frenzy that was the weekend. actually only saturday was really frenzied, while the rest was time well spent with friends i haven't seen in forever. after the long, grueling week i rented a movie & after finally getting unattached from my cell phone (the one bad thing about have friends that are forever away from me), i popped it in & settled back for an evening of entertainment.
adrian brody (remember him from the pianist? if not, you must get that & then report back on your love for it) was a compelling nerdy lead in dummy. the quirky humor & wit in this movie are sometimes so subtle you miss the exchange & then pick up on it after the moment's passed. the cast also includes milla jovovich (in a so-so rendition) & ileana douglas (highlarious in her role).
saturday found me getting manicures at the beauty school (best place EVER to learn more ghetto talk). sarah & i entertained ourselves chatting with the students (because they were doing our manicures in the classroom where students wandered in & out? i dont know...). unless they were like the sweet lil asian guy doing my nails who didn't say a word & was obviously scared to death he would mess up my nails. he ran to get another student, poor thing. anyhow, we were highly entertained by the girl saying she knew me from somewhere (story ... of ... my ... life ... "i know i've seen your face somewhere before!").
after leaving there we headed to pick up my boss's baby gift. who's bright idea was it to get manicures first & then pick up a heavy bookshelf box? oh right ... that'd be me. after lugging the gift out, we headed to one of sarah's new clients' house. since she'd be dogsitting this great dane named pebbles & it was on the way to meet friends for dinner, we stopped by the house. i, typically unafraid of dogs, was rather freaked out by pebbles. she's 1.5 years old looks like a miniature horse. & she barked. loudly. i thought she'd take my hand off if i offered it, but after some time she calmed down. at any rate, she was rambunctious for about a half hour & apparently has never been left with anyone. since her owners were going out of town unexpectedly they needed a petsitter immediately. sarah, happy to oblige for her fledgling business, was distraught this morning she never made it to church because pebbles got out & was running loose in the neighborhood. heh.
after our pebbles escapade, a delectable dinner at chang-chang's. because i was a lamer & didn't get anything done in preparation for today, i sacrificed my saturday night to catch up on reading the discussion book we're moving through slowly but surely. as well as preparing some community leadership notes since today was my first sunday at the leadership meeting that i've missed the last three sundays.
more thoughts on community leadership to come in the near future. i'd venture a guess to say everybody will find something applicable from reading that book. even if you disagree with much of it. warning - it is incredibly wordy & theological, so be prepared to actually read, not skim. i've been made fun of already for my note-taking on same, but whatever works, yo.
