It has been a while since I posted. Shame, shame, Strawberry. What can I say: life happens and it is a happenin' still. I won't bore you with school stuff, but that's the crux of the business! We also attended our church's regional meeting. (Banana, I didn't see you at all!!!) I gave a workshop on Advent Ideas for Small church ministry. My cohort and I thought if we had 10 people we would be dancing in the street. I can gladly say we are dancing on the moon! About 30 people attended and it gave us hope that we are providing a much needed service. Now I just wish a paycheck would come with that!!!! LOL
Tonight our church is hosting a Trunk or Treat for neighborhood children. If you haven't heard of it, this is where you decorate the trunk of your car or bed of your truck and gather with others and pass out candy to children....sort of a one-stop shopping! We first heard of this at seminary. Aren't we cute? All my little scarecrows and one pacifist friend in camo!!!! hahahaha...
I am in charge of decorating and thinking up the costumes. I decided we would go as 2 of the Addams family but it is still hotter-n-hades down here in South Texas so I knew I would not be wearing a long sleeved/ skin tight black dress with a long black wig-- can we say Heat Stroke??? And I would not put my poor hubby in a black pinned-striped suit! He doesn't own one and we are not buying one at this stage of the game. So Wednesday and the little brother (what's his name?) are it. Hubby would get by easy with the striped shirt, shorts, white socks, and black shoes. But Wednesday? I would have to go buy leggings and find a short black dress with a wide white belt. This is sounding like too much work.
Yesterday I went to my wonderful HEB store where you can find anything and ta da!!! We are going as "walkers." Hubby and Boy (who wasn't going to participate till I bought the walker-looking mask) L.O.V.E. Walking Dead. Truth be told I tolerate it. I don't like all the head smashing and blood but I do like watching something that Boy will come in and watch with us.
So, taking a little time out of studying and dressing up to hand out candy to complete strangers---what could be better??/!!!! No, don't go there. Eating said candy myself is a no-no!
I'll post pictures next week.
Happy Halloween, Grainiacs,
Strawberry (41 pounds to go)
