So how was your holiday?
My pork roast turned out yummy, as did the pumpkin pie. I improved the pumpkin pie recipe just a smidge by mixing in some softened cream cheese to the filling stuff.
Yesterday's church service was fun, as usual. Generally they have two or three people singing backup vocals along with the worship leader; yesterday, the lady who was scheduled to sing soprano overslept and didn't make it in. They decided at the last minute to mic me for the soprano part, and this time instead of using a boom mic, they fitted me with one of the ultra-cool wireless headset mics. They're the cool, almost invisible kind, not the big poofy kind that stick out. It was kinda spiffy to walk around with one of those little battery packs in my pocket and a little wire running behind my head to my ear, like I was important or something. Just always remember to turn the thing OFF when you walk offstage... particularly if you're headed for the, um, restroom. I didn't slip up, but I kept checking it while I was offstage, just to be certain. heh --Oh, yeah, I wanted to give you guys a link to this church's web site, in case you're interested in knowing anything more about it: FCC It's refreshing to actually want to go to church again; it's been a very, very long time -- if ever, really -- since that's been the case. It's always been a duty or a job, since Rick has always been on staff at a church since we've been married. I've always just made the best of the situation, but God's been very kind to me in giving me the opportunity to go to a church like FCC. I know it's not perfect... if I were ever to join the perfect church, it'd stop being perfect the moment I joined... but it's going places, and I'd like to go along.
Des Moines finally got snow last night. We usually get it a few weeks earlier than this, but thankfully got a stay-of-execution for a while. I was grateful that it wasn't frozen to my windshield while I was cleaning the car off; it just brushed off soggily. It's supposed to snow all day today, which means I'll get to clean the car off AGAIN when I get off work. I'm glad I have all these cool tropical posters in my classroom, because today I need to forget that I live here, for just a little while anyway.

yes, it's best to check that mic! The Dallas Symphony christmas concerts are televised one night every year. Last year a friend of mine taped it and we all went to her place immediatly afterwards to relax and watch it. welllll, they had a special soloist last year, there was also a tenor soloist from the chorus for one number. So Big Money soloist comes on screen to sing, um, away in a manger, but instead we heard chorus soloist warming up in the bathroom. bwah ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa.
