Translation: You beat me to it, sneaky!
Good Nytol!
Nighty night Bear.
I'm heading there myself in a minute.
Alls I'm sayin' is if'n they're tryin' to kill me I wish they'd just take me out back, shoot me and get it over with.
g'nite
But that's never as much fun as the long, drawn-out torture of making your life miserable. ;-)
I'm right behind you, Corin.
Nighty night Hobbit Hole!
These pretzels are makin' me thirsty!
Thats alls I'm sayin'... ;~D
And good night :~D
I'm freaking out in every way you can imagine!!!
I just got in from my BA CHEF meeting and was talking to Steve...
Ok...backtrack...you remember that I tried to take the jedis to the Royal Ambassadors (missions studies) at my church but it was too far away and too rowdy and too long, so I decided to take them to the RAs at the church down the street (CDTS) because it's a block away and not so long (still pretty rowdy.) That was at the beginning of the school year, right?
Fast forward to today...
Steve got a phonecall here at home...a recruiter for some company...don't remember the name but part of it was Midstream. He called the guy back and left a message on his machine, then went ahead and helped the jedis finish up their pinewood derby cars for the big race this evening.
So when Steve got to the pinewood derby race, the organizers set him in charge of checking people in. He checked a guy in with the same last name as the recruiter! Steve asked him "Hey, you don't happen to be related?" and the guy says "That's my brother! He'll be here in a few minutes!"
So the recruiter shows up and actually gets to know Steve at the pinewood derby race! They're going out for lunch tomorrow!!!
It's great, because now it's like Steve has a connection! All because several months ago I felt like it would be best if the jedis went to TCDTS!!
Oh, and he did get pictures...I'll post them tomorrow. Joshua came in first place amongst the younger RAs and Matthew came in 2nd place with the older ones.
So there's that, too!
Personal contacts are ALWAYS terrific! Great news for Steve!
Good job, boys!!
I can just see that 2J shimmy all the way over here in MA!!
Heh heh!! Yep! I came home from my meeting and it was almost 11pm! (We really enjoy our fellowship at the BA CHEF meetings!) But the jedis were still up and I got to hug them and congratulate them! Joshua was especially happy...it was his first.
Then Steve laid that bit of news on me about the recruiter and I was really just shocked! I mean, standing in the living room with my hands on my head and my mouth hanging open! LOL!!
It was such a coincidence! But come to find out that when the guy got his resume, he recognized our address because he's from the same part of town. He actually lives nearby. But being at the same church at the same time for a pinewood derby! Whodah thunk?
That's very cool! Personal connections make all the difference...I think that's one thing that's crippled me here.
Well, it's a lesson here that you never know how something is gonna come down....you just never know! Steve didn't have a connection until tonight!
Here's hopin' it brings good things!
I went to a meeting with the group from church, mostly to say goodbye to the few gals I knew best. Not many were there, and a lot of the discussion was about future activities...but I guess I'm still glad I went.
You know, I know that after Steve graduates, if we have to we might have to move. But I sure love it here, you know? I've never been this happy in my life in any place. And this company is here in Tulsa...
I gotta go to bed! It's after midnight here! I'm gonna take a benadryl...otherwise I'll never get to sleep, I'm so keyed up!
Night, Sis!
zzz...wha?...I'mup, I'mup...
