Yabbering On

I don't know if I have anything to share right now, but I felt like sharing anyway, so I'm going to keep typing until my fingers decide they're done.

Tomorrow morning is my first time in the church choir, and it's going to be interesting because I was invited to join the group, but everyone else singing around me is probably at least twice my age. Yay for new, mysterious adventures! Also, I discovered a new talent this evening--I can play the piano, sing, and tap the beat like a metronome on my knee at the same time. Actually, that's only slightly impressive to most piano players, but I'm feeling talented and ambidextrous at the moment, so let me have my momentary glee. Woohoo!

To be honest, I am probably loopy because we got in from Valencia at 3:30 a.m. last night, and I still managed to wake up early. That also probably explains why I've now used the above expression "Woohoo" more than 26 times today. Oh well, no one seems to have complained so far.

Green foo-foo salad (aliases may vary; see ambrosia, marshmallow salad, green goop) is a must at such occasions
Bible quizzing is bigger than an Olympic sport
You can name the names of more than a couple people from other churches in your “district”
Your alma mater ends in the acronym “NU”
You have seen both portraits of Wesley and Bresee…in the same sitting…multiple times
You can go to a church in another state and still meet relatives
Seven Steps to Kevin Bacon doesn’t hold a candle to Four Steps to the Closest Nazbo
You feel more comfortable on your knees at the alter than at your seat
NYC does not stand for New York City
