let's get outa this town!

i have worked at the gap 6 days in a row.

that is way.too.many.

it starts to get to you after a while. you start singing along to the music, correctly estimating where in a pile of shirts a size medium will fall, and other weird things that should not be happening.

so thankful i'm off the next two days.
i'm heading up to t.city to visit my gma. amanda lou is coming too ;)
we are leaving at 7am tomorrow (!!!) and getting starbucks on the way. just staying one night then heading home saturday evening. 7:30am bfst with worship team on sunday so no rest for the weary ;)

i am reading a book at during my breaks at work where this girl has a stalker. it's super creepy.

every time i go down to my bedroom in the basement i am on high alert for spiders and centipedes. i look for them when i walk to the bathroom and always wiggle the rugs with my foot to make sure nothing is hiding underneath. my mom told me a story of how she found a centipede on her bath towel when she was getting out of the shower many years ago. i now check my bath towels when i get out of the shower (thanks mom!). is this neurotic behavior? maybe. is it a sign that i have been traumatized...most definitely.

we are doing an "acoustic" set on sunday. i put the word acoustic in quotes because it's not really an acoustic set. there is still a drum set and electric guitars. it's a pretty big band if you ask me (drums, 2 acoustic guitars, 1 electric, bass, keyboard, piano, violin, 2 additional vocalists). but it's a whole different sound. very mellow. not just mellow songs, but a mellow take on songs we typically do differently. wednesday was a challenging practice (in my opinion) - lots of individual artistic interpretation combined with lots of listening. challenging, but still very fun. if you think of it, pray for our violinist this week - she has a lot of material to prepare and not a lot of time...

mmk. gotta go pack!
