I'm so glad our school district gives us Veterans' Day off! Just two more days and then I can enjoy a Friday of relaxing, reading, running errands, Christmas shopping, and getting ready for the girls conference this weekend.
Highland is hosting a West Texas Girls Conference for middle and high school girls in churches around West Texas. My good friend, Kayci Ross, is the speaker, and another friend, Tamara Long, and I are teaching a high school class together. We worked on it some on Saturday, and I'm looking forward to it. Our topic is spiritual gifts, so to decorate our room we're going to have a little Christmas tree with lights on it, wrapped packages underneath, and spiritual gift ornaments hanging from it. So I will be going through the garage and getting out some Christmas decorations early. (I know Jenny will appreciate that!)
Brandon likes to play various sports games on Play Station occasionally, and has wanted me to learn so I can play with him. I have no desire to do this, partly because I know no matter how good I get, he will always beat me, and partly because I don't want to invest time and energy into a video game. Last week, however, he gave me a Texas Hold 'Em game, and I have to admit I've spent some time in the last week playing Play Station. I'm not great, but I did get a nut-high straight on the river. Sounds like I know what I'm talking about, doesn't it?
Yesterday I began working out again after a short hiatus. Today I am feeling some of the soreness that comes with taking time off, but it feels good to know that my muscles are working hard. They remind me of that every time I stand up or sit down or reach up to pull the overhead screen down today. I think I'll take it easy and do Body Flow tonight.
