No title for this one. How do you title ramblings...Perhaps "ramblings." No thanks. I've been really tired lately. It probably has to do with the fact that my workout routine is dead. I have no motivation to do anything other than pilates at home. It's pretty fun & challenging, but is getting easier. I've been going to bed later, probably due to softball. Last night was the first night in quite some time where I felt like I slept good. I'm reading a couple books. The one that is most interesting/makes me smile the most is Pagan Christianity. It's a second addition written by 2 guys that delve into history to show that the current practices of the church, ie, the sermon, how the meeting of the church is structured, etc, comes from pagan practices & not from the good book. Some of the history shows that people have been & will continue to be screwed up. Some of the research I'd probably question if I cared more. The best chapter is titled: The Pastor: Obstacle to every member functioning. I have decided to refer to Louie now as either, The Obstacle, or just obstacle to every member functioning. I've laughed a couple times & agreed a few too. I'm reading the book to broaden my horizons, but more so we can discuss the book & its claims/conclusions up at the office. Those are fun days.

I sometimes watch religious tv. It usually bothers me or makes me laugh...or both. I was flipping through & landed on the catholic channel tonite. It was 3 priests sitting in a room with other priests & soon to be priests. They were doing a probably halfway staged question & answer session. I watched the whole thing. I had to pause it for 7 minutes to help Jessica, but promptly went back. It was fairly boring, but these guys were genuine. It was a big contrast from christian tv where the preachers talk with big booming voices & shout hallelujah & tell you to send in your fill in the blank seed. I disagreed with some of what they were saying but I enjoyed listening. I was surprised by the amount of education they require & the intensity of their study. It inspired me.

I'm going to breakfast with Shaun McC in the am. It'll be fun. After that it's off to the parents house for 5-7 hours of fence building followed by dinner of course. It'll be fun. I like working with my hands. It makes the time pass. I've thought of doing a fence building/fixing thing on the side for some extra cash. My parents were quoted $4000 to do theirs. I offered for free. I guess it's one of those things that is good for everyone. They save some $$, & I get to see the parents & spend the day outside with the pops while my mom brings refills of water & crystal light up the hill. Jessica & baby todd will come too. They'll do some swimming & probably hit starbucks in the hopes of running into old friends.

Saturday, maybe a new car. We've looked, we've driven & I believe Jessica has found. Maybe we'll wait. We've never had a car payment so she's scared. Any car payment is HUGE. I let her know that the average payment I saw when i worked at the dealership was at least $425. We couldn't afford that anyway. I have some stuff to do starting with pilates.
