Foolish Games

Post 50

I have finally reached 50 posts... after more than 9 months (first post on 5 August 2005)... which means a rough average of a bit over 5 posts per month. Meaning if you check in about once a week there's a reasonable chance of you having something new to read... though the distribution of posts over time is not constant, so no guarantees there... yes, I'm rambling ;P

Right, it's late, and I should be asleep, so just a quick rundown of the weekend for now.

Wedding: very enjoyable, especially since I was staying at a friend's place just 10 minutes walk away from the church =) Beautiful and God-centred service, with a good message and meaning-filled songs. Had group photos afterwards and food! Not just finger-foods, but an assortment of food in buffet style for lunch. hehe... one of my friends was telling me how intensely good this little dessert pastry thingee was and then it collapsed between her fingers, spilling its contents over her fingers =D

Went to a friend's place between the wedding ceremony and reception. Watched the Sydney Swans demolish the opposition (can't remember the team) and generally just lazed around and rested. Then, I got to walk 5 minutes to the restaurant. hehe... so convenient. Was pretty hungry, having decided not to eat anything after lunch, but still was more than enough to eat at the Chinese banquet reception. Were speeches and games for the married couple. A tiring day, though I didn't do all that much... I guess I hadn't slept much the night before. Gotta love a wedding though =)

Sunday: went to church... realising that I no longer feel completely "at home" due to most of my friends having changed churches over the last couple of years. Sang some kids songs with the Sunday school kids sitting in for the first part of the service (mother's day)... was very cute =) Also cute was the kids presenting little gifts to all the mum's in the congregation. Had a guest speaker giving a message on the importance of being persistent in prayer, as God will always listen and answer our prayers, even if it's in a way we don't expect.

Lunch was at a charcoal chicken store in Gordon... basically chicken and assorted salads... was quite yum, especially as I haven't had this sort of meal for quite some time. Had a nice iced chocolate as well and unfortunately arrived rather late to a picnic that I had planned to catch a bit more of.

Went to another church service in the evening, with a great message on Zechariah, chapters 3 and 4, which explained what the two images meant in those 2 chapters. Then came back home, having Hungry Jacks for dinner along the way. Got back around 11.10pm... and here I am... well past my bedtime >.<

Was reminded over the weekend of how much nicer Sydney weather is than Canberra weather... *sigh* is a valid reason to move on its own =P haha, but I can survive the cold, so is not as simple a decision as that!

Also is amazing how it's already MAY! Where did all the months go between now and last Christmas?!?

Oh well, sleep beckons. Goodnight!
