Cleanliness is next to ...
Today was a good day in terms of housework and general life work. I woke up really late today. I guess that's not good, but it felt good. Well, except for when I had all these really odd dreams right before I woke up, about a couple friends I haven't seen or talked to in a really long time. I woke up abruptly; and realized it was really late.
Wes and I went to church after I got up. "Church" for us these days is listening to the sermon over the internet. Harvest Bible Chapel has a great website and you can listen to that week's message every week from there. We sit in the computer room with our bibles and listen to the message. I know it's really not as good as actually going to church or getting involved, but it's a step in the right direction for us. It's hard for us to actually go on time since the church is in Rolling Meadows, which is an hour or more for us to get to. (I have trouble getting up to go, too. That's definitely not a good thing.) But, I still feel doing something is important. I think when we have kids that are old enough, we'll actually find somewhere we can go to. We had a difficult time finding a church that we liked and respected, so you know, easier said than done, I suppose.
In other news, Wes and I cleaned out the laundry room and the kitchen today. The laundry room's been a mess since some detergent spilled over and we've just needed to organize it, so that's what we did today. It looks much better. I'm currently taking bets on how long it will actually remain "organized." I personally give it two weeks before there's clothes everywhere ...
As it is, I have a huge pile of clothes that are "hand wash." I think I'm going to discover that I have a LOT of clothes I forgot about... doh.
Wednesday we're having an Office marathon at the house. This was actually Wes's idea; he wants to show it to one of our co-workers who has never watched the show, but now wants to see it because he's heard so much about it. (Not just from me, damn it. I don't really talk about it at work.) Anyway, if anyone else around here is interested, let me know; you can come over and join us. Wes and I discussed possiblities at lunch today. I'm kind of excited ... it's sort of like trying to convince someone to join a cult. "C'mon, we'll give you cookies and soda and you'll get to sit in a dark room and relax and you'll be so happy... just give it a chance..."
I've been viciously avoiding most of the Office forums at TWOP lately, because, apparently, a huge spoiler leaked out in a NYT article a few days ago. I used to be a spoiler whore, but I really don't want to know anything. Five days. I can wait.
I think this week will be busy. I have a lot to catch up on at work that didn't get done last week. Several social gatherings, a few outside appointments, and I have to take Friday off to get some outside work done (ooh, I'm glad I just reminded myself of that; I need to ask for the time off.) Busy.
No word on the baby front yet. Even if I was pregnant, I probably wouldn't even have an idea for at least a week, and probably not for two weeks. Even then, I doubt anything. Everyone keeps telling me that it'll probably take a few months at least... I don't know if that worries me or makes me relieved. Hm.
