This weekend was the best weekend I have had in a long time. It began Friday with Stations of the Cross at St. Benedict’s. It was an interesting service, I haven’t been to a Catholic Church since I was a child and then I only went once or twice. It was interesting to see how they did Stations of the Cross. Then I went to Impanema with Michelle, the food was excellent and the company. We then went to meet some of her friends at Emilio’s for some live Jazz music. The band was very fun and by the end of the night we were all dancing.
Saturday was a clothes swap at Alicia’s that included mimosas and trading old clothes for new to us clothes. Then we headed over to the Irish festival. All we really did there was drink free beer and watch one good bluegrass band. There was some dancing involved in that as well. After the festival I took a long nap and then went to dinner at Emily’s house. I hadn’t seen her in a long time so it was nice to catch up.
The weekend finale was Mrs. Farrell’s Ruckus. I know I am not a Mrs. Farrell but I am very lucky to be dubbed an honorary Mrs. Farrell. This Ruckus we went belly dancing. The woman who was teaching the lesson said we all did very well. She said that usually the white folks don’t get it right away, but the black folks do. Little does she know, I may look white but deep inside there is a funky black woman
After the Ruckus I went to look at a room for rent in Montrose Heights which is right in between Church Hill and Fulton Hill, in the crack between the two hills. The room was great and so was the house. The woman who lives there seems like someone I could definitely get along with. She has the politest 6 year old I have ever met in my life. I must have made a good impression too because the little girl drew me a picture of me in the room. The little girl is quite the artist, in the down stairs bathroom she had painted under the chair rail a picture of the house with a sun and a big tree, birds and flowers, it is pretty sweet. I pray I get this room. I would be moving in mid May if I get it. It is also close enough that I can still be involved at Gabriel house. Plus I am closer to work.
I am trying to get another part time job, so if anyone knows of anything or has any suggestions let me know. I am available in the morning until noon. And in the evenings after 5pm. A coffee shop type job would be ideal. Or any job that has flexible hours since I will be going back to school.
So very exciting things happening; I have to be honest and say I did not expect things to turn out exciting, and I was incredibly worried for a while about how things were going to go down. It does look as if God has everything in control as always though. Even if it looks like crap to me at first, it all turns out at the end. I forget that a lot
