FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!
I know it's clichÈ, but thank goodness it's Friday. I've been living for this day all week. If you've been keeping up, you may already know this. It's now approximately 10:30am. I am leaving for the movie theater in 3 hours. The countdown begins. I can't wait to turn off my brain for the afternoon. Not really turn it off completely, but the part that needs to make decisions and such. That part will be dormant as long as possible this weekend. It will be GREAT! I wish it was noon. Then it would be lunch time and I could use some more time to eat and socialize.
Not long ago, someone told me they wished they could "waste" a whole afternoon at the movie theater. It took everything in me not to be offended by that, because I knew it wasn't meant that way. However, it did say "waste" and I don't see spending the day at the movies as a waste of my time. I see it as an excellent use of my free time, a mental health experience. I wish I could do more of it. I use my mind so much at work sometimes, it just needs a rest. You know? So, it's all good. I wasn't offended, but I did feel the need to defend my use of time. After all, there is also popcorn involved at the movie theater. That is my second most favorite food group, behind cake. Just before chocolate. So anyway, bring on the darkness, the movies, the popcorn and the British actors.
On another topic, I just want to publicly endorse the devotional that I've been reading all year. It's called "A Year With C.S. Lewis." It's really outstanding. It takes little daily snipets of his collected works and splits them into themed series every few days. So, you will be reading a few readings from Mere Christianity, followed by Screwtape Letters, then from his sermon series, Weight of Glory. The selected readings all have similar themes running through them for the several days in a row. For instance, right now, they are talking about virtues. At the end of August was an excellent few days about Forgiveness, which I really needed to read at that particular time. It just is a great collection of short devotions that are perfect to start any day.
So, it's finally Friday. Our on-sale for Michael W. Smith Christmas went pretty well. We sold enough to earn our lunch. Always an important question. We're currently discussing the lunch of choice. We're up for Boston Market or KFC. We're leaning toward Boston Market, for those of us watching our carbs. Yipee!
So, there we go. It's Friday. It's going to be a great day!
