Homecoming week

It's Homecoming Week at North, complete with all the requisite dress-up days. Today was Aloha Day, so I wore a Hawaii t-shirt, capris and flipflops, and a grass skirt over the capris, and two leis around my neck.

Tomorrow's "Retro Day"... I'm thinking I'm going to wear a big silk shirt with a costume-jewelry brooch, black stretch pants, and tease out my hair like I used to do back in 1987. We'll see if I'm able to accomplish it; my hair was much longer back then, and permed. Hairspray and a blowdryer can work miracles, however.

Thursday is "Sports Team" day, so I guess I'll wear my OU Sooners t-shirt. I don't really have a team jersey or anything... maybe I should borrow one of AJ's Dallas Cowboys items.

Friday is, of course, "Spirit Day," so it's NHS colors. I may even do some face-paint or temporary hair dye... hey, I'm really trying to go all out here, okay?

Friday night is the big game, against Roosevelt. We'll be killed. We're always killed, though. North is just not known for its football successes.

Then Friday night, late, SoulFire is playing at the Jr. High lock-in at church.

Then Saturday, SoulFire is playing a youth gig down at St. Charles, which is like 30 or 40 miles south of Des Moines (I think).

Then Saturday night is the Homecoming Dance, which I'm chaperoning. Until late.

Sunday morning will find me at church at 6:45 AM.

I am going to want a nap really, really bad on Sunday afternoon.

In amidst all this stuff, I'm putting together some more videos for church. Yeah, I'm insane. But it's okay. I actually love it all, and being really busy keeps me on track.
