New idea

Sad as it seems, I'm back to talk (type) to no one in particular again...

I've learned about memes and thought I'd give a couple a try, in addition to my daily "what's on my mind."

Here goes...

Tubing
1. How much TV do you watch?
More than I'm proud to admit - and Tivo perpetuates the problem. Like a needed a tool to make it easier to take on more programming. Our Tivo reconrdings are like a "to do" list.

2. What is your favorite type of programming?
Man, that's tough. If I had to pick a single flavor - I'd say reality. I'm a junkie for that stuff. I'm also a fan of the sit-com, and even some dramas (but those have either be a)though provoking or b) able to put me into some kind of fantasy life for an hour.


3. What is your favorite TV show?
Again, very tough but I think OC wins over Survivor by a nose hair.


4. Do you watch a TV show from beginning to end, or are you a flipper?
Beginning to end, unless it's sports. Thanks to Tivo, I pop back in the recording if I'm unsure about a word of dialogue.


5. Could you give up TV for a month?
It would be tough, but I think I could, and I think I'd probably get much more out of life by doing so. WILL I do it - that's highly unlikely.

Another meme

Pete. Re-Pete.
1. When you are getting ready to leave your home, what are three things you always do?
On weekdays, potty time comes first, then a shower, then I clean up puppy poop and pee.

2. What is the most annoying habit that you have?
I make lots of noise - I smack my gut, my legs whatever, just to make noise. I don't know why I'm compelled to do it - it just happens.

3. If you could develop a new habit, what would it be?
Excercise I guess. I'd love to love it more than lunging, but I don't.

4. Do you participate in any religious rituals?
I attend church weekly and am very involved in the church, but am still very far from being who I want to be just yet.

5. Describe one custom that is unique to your community or culture:
Massillon is a town that loves High School football like no other on the planet.

So, what's on my mind?

An already huge backlog of work is continuing to grow. I've been asked to do the impossible. There was a time when I would have been really stressed about it - no more. I know that I can only do so much and if they really believe someone else can do more for the same money I'd be surprised. I'm also comfortable with the possibility that they may feel that way some day and I'm confident that I wouldn't miss a beat if the hammer fell. There are too many ways to make money.

Also, church stuff. I hope I'm not gettin in over my head. I'm taking on a lot there too - upcoming conference in Atlanta, possible leadership of family production, and probably launching a new ministry to newly commited Christians. Whoa!

The balancing act - can I do all of this and STILL be what/who I want to be at home? It sure would be nice to be able to kick back and soak it all in sometimes. Unfortunately I'm not programmed that way. I can't relax much at all - I always seem to have a need to be busy. Maybe a sickness?

Catch you tomorrow - gotta go find out why my workload is doubling again...
