"You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts." --2 Corinthians 3:3

My school just hosted a pancake supper to raise money for our secretary. She's recently been diagnosed with breast cancer [she also has spots in her lungs and her liver which the doctors have determined aren't cancer--but it's still scary] and it's spreading to her skeletal system. This lady is like a second mom to me, I call her kids my older brother and younger sister, we're that close. So, we made a ton of pancakes, just for her. We expected to have less than 100 people come and eat pancakes, there was more than 300. How awesome is that?! Seriously. I ran around in high heels for hours pouring syrup into dixie cups on tables and making pancake batter and cooking sausage, and cleaning tables. But it was well worth it...though I do currently smell like Aunt Jemima vomited on me. [laughing] I'm off to go wash the pancake smell out of my clothes. If you all are religious can you spare a prayer [or two] for the dear lady who has cancer. I'm afraid I can't tell you her name, but know she's the sweetest lady you could ever know, and she just radiates Jesus' love.

Has anyone noticed that time is moving too quickly and too slowly? I just realized that. Like it's December and I want time to move faster so I can get on to bigger and better things and time's just moving too slow. But I want time to slow down a little bit because it's just moving too fast.
Does that even make sense? I don't know but that's the best way I can explain it.

I just don't get it. Why do my parents feel the need to never tell my sister or I anyting. It's so annoying. Seriously. I mean, today is the fifth Sunday of the month--our church is part of a four-church charge, therefore we rotate between the other four churches on fifth Sundays. My family NEVER I mean NEVER go to fifth Sunday services, we either go to the church my school's affiliated with or, we don't go at all. Well, I'm all bundled down into my chair just ready to relax for the day and then mom's all 'we're going to church, I thought you guys would assume that'. Now I have nothing against going to church--but for heaven's sake, someone could tell us! What the eff, I mean, seriously. And then they get all mad at me 'cause I'm pissed because of this. It's just stupid. I would have been ok with it, if we had been TOLD. But no, no one ever tells me anything.

So I had a good Thanksgiving. My cousin and her beau came to our house for Thanksgiving as well as my other 'family'. So we all had a really good time. I ate way too much. My dad made duck as well as the traditional turkey, and we had some really yummy potatoes and green bean casserole and stuffing. Oh it was just such a good feast. My mom, cousin, sister, cousin's boyfriend and I went shopping today. We didn't go anywhere big, just the downtown area of the small town I live in. It was fun. My cousin and her poor boyfriend got suckered into going to the antique shops with my mom and so my sister and I ditched and went down to Barnes and Noble where we proceeded to blow all our money. [laughing] We went to the skate shop and got some good clothes, too. So that was nice. We know the lady who owns the skate shop, so she gave us a discount. It pays to know people. So yep, that's been my holiday thus far. Tomorrow my family is going to 'hang the greens' at my church. I guess it's kind of a traditional Methodist thing. I don't know. Our church does it every year where we put up the Chrismon tree [Chrismon, not Christmas. Chrismon is the special kind of symbolic ornaments they use.] And my sister and I get to climb all over the pews and stuff and set up the electric candles that have been used in our church every single year since before I was born. But everyone else in our church is a senior citizen, so they can't climb all over the pews and put up decorations so my family ends up doing it. Hopefully it will be fun and we won't be stuck there for too long...

Happy Turkey Day, everyone. Just thought I'd drop by and give my wishes for the season. My cousin and her boyfriend are coming over later tonight, and tomorrow my other 'family' are coming.
Hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving, and don't stuff yourselves too much.
