Yey for snow! We're driving in a winter wonderland once again. Had an interesting drive home last night after work. Its kind of an adventure. You approach the corner that you need to turn at. Then you think to yourself, ok, what will this corner be like, how much slush will there be, will I slide around or will this be a clean turn. A couple of times I thought to myself, uh oh, I hope I can stop...snow bank here I come :) But I didn't have to resort to landing in any snow banks, which was good. I don't need that kind of excitment. The only downside of winter driving is having to watch out for other drivers, aside from them, driving in the snow and slush is actually pretty fun.

I wish it was May...then it would be almost June...*sigh*

Drivethroughs

Last night I went through a drivethrough. Aren't you proud of me DC? Went to McDonalds, to get some fries. Normally I give drivethroughs a wide bearth. For some reason I've never liked them. You drive up, roll down your window, give your order to a box with a funny sounding voice. Then you drive to the next window and hand over some money. Next window, an arm hands over your food and you drive off. Then you're left with the interesting task of eating while trying to drive, but that is another matter entirely.

I think what I don't like is the impersonal nature of drivethroughs, I would much rather park, get out, go inside, order from a real person that is standing there in front of me, and then get my food from that same person. Service with a smile. But last night it was late (why does everything have to close so early?) and I wanted some fries, so out of necessity I had to go through the drivethrough. And you know, it wasn't so bad. I still prefer to go inside, but I think I may be warming up to drivethroughs.

Wow, January 18, where has the time gone. Still haven't posted pictures either. Actually haven't even had a chance to sort through them, I should do that soon. So here I sit, Sunday afternoon at UM, sipping my mocha and catching up on my blog reading.

Went to a Griffins game last night. That was interesting, certainly different than watching on TV. I can understand why people like to go and see the games in person, its a different experience. Personally I found the crowd as entertaining as the game. Oh, and we won, 2-1 in overtime.

Yesterday afternoon I went with a couple of friends to the Mud Room. I painted a platter and small bowl (for dip or something). That was fun, we hadn't been there in awhile. Now I want to go again :)

GEMS last night was surprisingly quiet and relaxing. I only had three of my girls there (due to weather I imagine) so we had a nice quiet lesson. It was kind of nice to be able to talk to the girls on a more one-to-one level. We sat in a circle and talked about our holidays. I had an activity involving Bible verses and the names of God which they enjoyed. I wrote out Bible verses on pieces of paper and put them in a hat. The girls took turns picking one out, reading it, then matching it up to one of God's names on a poster board. Then one of the girls suggested we read our favourite Bible verses, which I thought was a great idea. One wanted to read Psalm 119...but then decided it was too long :) Overall a good evening.
