A Modgepodge of things

Carrie kindly pointed out to me that I haven't blogged in awhile. Mostly that's because I have nothing to say. My life has been pretty boring. Last week it consisted of getting up, looking for a job, and going to bed (pretty much). Each day had a little variety but overall, it was pretty much the same. Can I say I HATE looking for a job? It is the most boring thing in the world. Seriously! Also, Gobstopper Heartbreakers are the best! Just thought I'd throw that in there as well. I know that you will all want to go by some ASAP since they are only out for Valentine's Day (the WORST holiday EVER!). I'm reading a great book, Facing Your Giants by Max Lucado. I really like it so far. I've read about 3 chapters. After that, I have a book called The Firstborn Advantage to read. It looked really interesting. In my Bible reading, I'm on Jacob now. I should make a family tree to see how they are all related. Maybe I'll do that later. I have a lot of free time on my hands right now. I'm thinking about calling up the Crisis Pregnancy Center to volunteer. I've been saying that for over a year now and I should do it, but I always come up with these what ifs? Let's see. I scrapbooked with Michelle last week. I got some stuff done. On Saturday, Carrie began being tourists in our own town. It was a TON of walking. We went to the Audobon Center at the Francis Biedler Forest in the morning. It was a nice peaceful walk. We learned a lot about Swamps and stuff and saw a few animals. The woodpecker, Carolina Wren, White-tailed Deer and Grey Squirrel. Then in the afternoon, we went to the Yorktown. That was a TON of walking. So many stairways. We saw this huge mixer. It was pretty cool. I could make a ton of cookies if I had one of those. We didn't go anywhere today because Carrie had a work emergency. We did go to lunch at Chili's where Carrie, Mary and Charles grilled me about what type of guy I am looking for. They want to set me up. I'm interested to see how this will all turn out. The last blind date I went on (well, the only one I went on) wasn't the best experience. Plus, it wasn't really blind because I had met the guy before and he knew a ton of stuff about me but I knew nothing about him. Anyways, I'm interested to see what this week brings. Should be interesting. I shall leave you with a few pictures from my touristy events this weekend.
