i'm going to marry brendan leonard for his eyes

thoughts from church today

1. At the end of the service we were all invited to sing 'The Hallelujah Chorus.' It didn't quite sound like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. But to GOD, it did. Very cool.
2. Dear worship leader people everywhere,
Not every hymn has to have a chorus added to it. In fact, most don't. Somehow that then leads to singing the chorus part 8 times in a row, while skipping a very good verse or two. The writers of these hymns wrote all of the verses so that they could express their entire thought. There's a reason all the verses are there. And, in a lot of cases, a reason the chorus tag you add isn't. (For example, how did 'Joy to the World' suddenly become about the warmth joy brings to our hearts instead of the joy of the amazingness of the LORD's coming reign?)
Sincerely,
Melilot

how is hanukkah over already?

that went fast.

happiness?

i said something to my mother last night about needing to find a man. to which she responded (very sweetly, i know), 'i know you wish it were different, and i wish that for you, too. i just don't know what to do. but i want you to be happy.'
but life's not supposed to be happy. nowhere are we told that it will be. it's about contentment and joy, not happiness. nothing in this world will make us happy for any length of time. being happy doesn't matter.
just a thought.

Happy Birthday, Mary!!!

why do i feel like december 18th is something?

i'm bored - go figure

all day i was dying to get out of work. counting down the hours, then the half hours, reassuring my co-workers that we could indeed make it until 2. two o'clock came, i ran to target (actually, walked - it wasn't horribly cold out), then came home and have been bored ever since.
at least i'm not at work i guess.

Melilot Classic: November 8, 2006

nursing home hottie

me apparently. chris, the good looking maintenance guy, told me that someone had told him that i liked to salsa and swing dance. then later he asked me when we were going dancing. i told him to pick the date and i'd be there. he asked if i like salsa or swing better, and i said i don't care. i just want to go.

Melilot Classic Series

As long as I have nothing better to post, I think we should take a look back at good-looking maintenance guy over the years. Just for fun.

happy holidays!

hey, melilot,

go to bed!!!

HAPPY HANUKKAH!

happy Christmas story of the day!

we had our official work Christmas party today. they're always really lame, but whatever, it's free food and presents, so if i work that day i stick around. thank goodness i did today! (no, good-looking maintenance guy did not show up.)
in the past i've gotten Christmas salt-and-pepper shakers, a sound machine (that sounds like ocean waves and rainfalls and the rainforest and stuff), jam, a home depot gift card, and the like. others have gotten paper plates, holiday napkins, sorry, toasters, gingerbread house kits, and the like. but each year there are two big presents. and in 11 years, i've never gotten one of them. (ok, in all fairness i didn't go to the party for the first 6 years or so, but still. i never win anything.) we all put our names in a hat, and the first two names they call get the big ones. (the rest of us choose from a big pile of wrapped gifts.) and it's never me. i get jam.
until this year. they called one name, and it wasn't me. but then they called the second name. and ohmigoodness i almost fell over. 'melilot brandybuck!' really?! no way! and guess what. i got a wii!!! :D :D :D

not quite sure what to do about this

i think my boss is now determined to set me and good-looking maintenance guy up. 'find me somebody to love' was on the radio, and i told karol to find me somebody to love. my boss was there and she said, 'good-looking maintenance guy!' to which i replied, 'uh-huh.' and she said, 'no, seriously. i think he'd be good for you. he's intelligent and sportsy and outgoing, but can be quiet and thoughtful.' and karol said, 'oh, yeah.' and of course i came back with, 'and he does ballroom and latin dancing.' [instead of, 'but do you know how old he is?'] and they both went, 'ooh, yeah. see?'
here's hoping he doesn't come back [well, at least until my boss gets this out of her head].

AAAAHHHH!!!!

my jaw is on the floor.

through the magic of internet stalking, i just discovered that good-looking maintenance guy is 49. 49! holy cow! that's like ancient!

although in all fairness, tim daly was 50 when i was swooning over him on 'the nine'.

but no wonder good-looking maintenance guy won't ask me out. he doesn't want to look like a creepy cradle-robber. but seriously, glmg, i'm a grave-robber, so it's all good.

i hate alcohol

people get stupid and ruin perfectly fine evenings. and then get even stupider.
frickin' idiot.

scandal time (warning: going pg-13 for a moment)

i had no intention of going to the resident Christmas party. however, i went to the resident Christmas party. i claimed it was for cornelius, which it partly was, but it was mostly for good-looking maintenance guy. i couldn't resist him. cuz i just can't.

of course i admitted to amanda why i was there (and the other women i work with probably suspect), and of course, she understood.

amanda: he looks like he's lost weight, though.

me: yeah, maybe.

amanda: like too thin. like almost skinny.

me: oh, but he's still good-looking.

amanda: well, yeah.

me: he could still be my baby daddy.

amanda [laughing, with a somewhat shocked expression]: i would love for that scandal get out.

me: me too actually.

amanda [shaking her head and smiling]: that would be too funny.

me: oh, but it would be good.

oh my

good-looking maintenance guy has a nephew. who's probably going to help out at the Christmas party at the home tomorrow night. i can only imagine the possibilities.

remember what fun we used to have?

Eastern Orthodox Joe Day

Today, according to the Eastern Orthodox calendar, which is a week later than the regular calendar, is Joe Mauer Day. Seeing as the mayor of St. Paul declared last Tuesday Joe Mauer Day, but we didn't find out until the 10:00 news, we (Hobbitsister and her family and I, and hopefully all of you) will celebrate today.

Happy Joe Day, people!
