Couple day recap…

Filed under: — alisa @ 12:00 am

Its been a full but slow week. I mean Friday is JUST getting here. Did everyone else have a slow week?

Some things have been happening that I thought might be blog worthy to share. Yesterday actually was a pretty exciting day, it started off with me walking into work and seeing the side of our building was covered (were talking thousands) with bugs. I told Brian when I walked in and they were aware of it. I assumed it was a typical late May thing in Alabama. When I walked up front to my assigned area and looked out the front window there were bugs on the front windows and all over our sign. It was SO gross.Someone told me they were May flys, which didn’t tell me much other than they now had a name instead of the one I gave them (gross looking things that creepy me out and have some odd tail creepy thing) A bird came and ate a good amount of them, bug buffet for the birdie. I felt a little like Moses with the plague of bugs. I know it probably was a lot worse, but thats as close as I want to get. Apparently they were all over town because my pastor and I were talking about them and he was giving a talk at some center and the bugs were mating on the windows. Nice huh?

Went to church to watch Sydney and Connor for the last time for a while. Jon told me that small groups wont be meeting for a while so they wouldn’t be needing me. That made me very sad, I love being around Sydney and Connor. Sydney was so happy last night it was so sweet. She’s also able to stand up now, which is of course huge! She’ll be walking before her first birthday. Also at church, one of the small groups came out saying that had heard a cat in the wall and had to cut a hole in the wall to get it out. It wasn’t a cat but a kitten! I tiny kitten who was just soooo little! Thomas ended up taking it home (though he thought I should. I told him Emma would eat her) and feeding her for the night. Kim is going to adopt Hero (because we rescued her!) today I was told. So she’ll be in a good home. We actually don’t know if its a she or he yet because its too little, but I of course think its a she.

Tonight we had a dinner party for the four new people who just joined the GSH family. We went to Cancun for dinner (one of the few yummy Mexican restaurants in town) and it was a lot of fun.Only bad thing about big dinner parties is that you really only can talk to your end of the table. And of course my end of the table was better, but I made my way down to the other side to talk. Margaret my boss came with her husband, which was great because managers never usually come out to our gatherings. The restaurant had Mexican band playing which made me feel that I was very not in Alabama.

Whew, well theres the past two days highlights in a nutshell. :)
