I don't know what it is about movies that put me to sleep. After church tonight, I went over to a friends house to watch "Walk the Line". I woke up on her futon couch about 15 minutes ago. She was asleep, too, and the DVD had returned to its root menu.
I will usually end up falling asleep while watching a movie. For this reason, I usually don't go see a movie in a theater because the price of admission will be a big waste if(when) I fall asleep. So, I still haven't seen Walk the Line. I will make it through, one day.
I am so looking forward to the Sedar meal tomorrow night. What a neat thing to experience! My Sunday School class at RBBC, when I was in, maybe, 7th or 8th grade, observed a Passover meal, and I remember some of it. I just remember thinking it was so cool to take part in something like that. I'm very much a tactile learner, and actually going through the motions made the stories and teachings of Passover become very real to me.
I made a cake to take to church to celebrate mine and Michael's birthday. (I put a big number 39 on the cake, since that is our combined ages! hehe) I wish I had more time, creativity, and opportunity to devote to cake decorating. I really enjoy it, and I can really do awesome things with a cake. (I took cake decorating classes...I know, I'm a nerd!)
I'm excited about my birthday, I guess. It's really just another day. I can't say that I've felt anything really special since my 18th birthday... My 19th birthday I was in Georgia and Mom, Dad, and Michael had come to visit, but they couldn't be with me on my birthday proper, because Michael was having some health problems and they had to come back home for doctor's appts. My 20th birthday, my boss called me to ask if I'd come in to work, and then realized it was my birthday. I recall going to see a movie with a friend...I think. And now, for the 21st birthday, I don't have any big plans. I actually work on my birthday this year.
I AM thankful though, that my grandmother is able to join in any family celebrations we will be having. I'm am thankful my grandmother can join us for lunch on Sunday afternoons, or I can go down the street to have lunch with her (and Mrs. Pam!!!!) at work. I'm thankful she can just drop in whenever she wants! I love her living here, and I'm so thankful for it, because Michael and I have NEVER lived this close to our grandparents, or any extended family, and it's so nice to be able to see her whenever I want!
I've gone from sleeping, to movies, to Passover, to my learning style, to cake decorating, to birthdays, to family. I recall, on a recent Sunday, Pastor David making the comment that he has a "PhD in the art of the ramble". I love that, and I do, too!!
I really should hit the hay. ...and then I'll go to sleep. haha
