Mid-Terms

Reading week is over tonight and I got maybe 33% done of what I'd intended (story of my life). Did not work on my thesis at all. Did host my parents for 3 days (hence the lack of work!). Did not write my sermon for my next preaching gig. Did see a Broadway show (OK, off-Broadway) -- The Altar Boyz -- spoof of a Christian boy band -- too funny -- and yes, playtime is not worktime. Duly noted. Did not start my ethics paper. Did make progress on my reading-critical log. Did not do my Isaiah translation. Did do my Greek exegesis. Did not translate my Luke passage. Did meet with my "Preaching Mark" partner to plan our presentation.

It's too hard thinking in columns like that ("did," and "did not"). Halloween is tomorrow, and when you have kids, it's a high holy day. Baked cookies as promised for the classroom party of 2nd grader. Costume all set -- whew! Have already dipped into the Halloween candy....we will not have any trick-or-treaters -- our street is too busy and there's no sidewalk -- but you never know, so hubby brought some candy home today at the kids' request (I swear it wasn't me asking for it!).

Need to prep for pro-choice meeting I'm chairing Tuesday night -- it involves going through some boxes of supplies which I have not made time to do since the boxes were left on my doorstep this summer. Also have been volunteered to work on a DVD project to fund-raise for Kenya Presbytery projects -- I have the media lab at my disposal -- just need to learn how to work all the equipment.

Daylight savings time has also thrown me off this weekend -- know I will like the light in the mornings, but miss it in the afternoons. Heard this is over on April 2 (spring ahead!), but in 2007 this period of daylight savings will be 4 weeks longer. Hmmmm. Wonder how that was decided?

This is boring even me -- and thinking about what I have NOT done means I have to go do some more.
