One Ton of Sun un Fun in Sharing 481!

[MelodyB]

I counted roughly about 86 from the platform today. That's not as good as it has been on Easter in past years. Seems we didn't have anyone but regulars today. I saw just two families I didn't recognize. I can get the official number tomorrow. My view was partially obstructed by the pulpit and I don't think my count is accurate.

But we had great church!


Currently, I am eating some pepperoncini straight from the jar. Yeah...I better hit the tums before I lay down. But they are so good!

[SippinTea]

We had about 46 people today. Definitely not a record Easter attendance for us, but considering how many people in our core group have been either sick or having surgery... well, I thought 46 was a really great number. *lol*

[Chseeads]

Going to work as much as I hate too shortly. 

I have toooooo much to do.  Scream!

[Roscoe]

 Headed to the doctor. Still sick as Furby would be if Mel's plans would work. Bah. I HATE being sick.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Morning.  I'm at work.

Last night I dreamed like one of Seth's nutboxes.  If everything in the dreaming had fit together it would at least have been entertaining and I might have made a script and eventually had a major motion picture out of it... but alas, it did not. 

In the meantime, we go back to work today.  Bout time.  At least we had a lot of church stuff to keep occupied during the downtime.

Roscoe:  Ditto on hating being sick.  When I'm sick I can't wait for it to pass and my energy to resume normal levels.

[Melody]

I'm thankful there is still at least some general acceptance and openess to going to church on holidays.   

Hannah is taking her standardized testing right now online and phone at the same time.  I am excited to see where she lands.

I made Mexcan hot chocolate cookies this wekend with rave reviews.  A wonderfully chewy chocolate chocolate chip cookie with a heat residue that keeps one from over eating them.   

[Lynx]

Keeps who from overeating them?  Much of my family would only be encouraged to eat more.

I, however, do not eat hot stuff because I am allergic to pain.

[Melody]

It's not really that hot unless you don't like anything spicy at all ever.  I loved watching people's faces though as they said how good the cookies were and then got this confused look.. 

[Lynx]

Reminds me of when I had some Lindt dark chocolate with chili pepper extract.  I took some to work, and there were two sisters at work, and one of them gave a square to the other without telling her what it was.  Mean!

[MelodyB]

OOO...how do you make those cookies?! We need a recipe!

[Melody]

[Melody]

Well, after much contemplation. And Nathan making sure it's legit. He took the job in Saudi Arabia. And we will probably go over with him after he makes sure it can work.

April fools....right?

[MsJennJenn]

haha *crickets chirp*

[Lynx]

I hate April 1st.  Bro. Austin, a member of my church who is rather fond of (im)practical jokes, has been burning up my phone today with instant messages, insisting he heard an announcement that I am supposed to begin a bible study class tonight, starting on the book of Romans.  I have proof he is well aware I work night shift - he acted surprised to see me last Wednesday night at church, during our week of downtime.

Fool idjit is burning up my GoPhone money with these instant messages.  Which may be the real joke.  I should send him a bill.

[MsJennJenn]

I hate April Fool's. I hate being surprised. I do not do well with surprises, and you will INSTANTLY know the moment you see my face. It's not good.

[Melody]

Lol. Yes it's April fools. Ya bunch of wet blankets. Lol

However he did apply for real, we just haven't heard back and doubt we will.

[Lynx]

I ain't a wet blanket - I have a great sense of humor.  But this is costing me some money for his prank, that failed anyway, but he can't get it through his head that it failed.  He keeps on and on and on...

Yes, I am more like Seth than I would like to admit.  If it weren't costing me money, I wouldn't mind half as much. 

[Melody]

I ain't a wet blanket - I have a great sense of humor. 

APRIL FOOLS!!!!

good one! 

*dies laughing*

If you go that direction, MY, you should go to Abu Dhabi and see Dina.

I blessed you for that

That would be too too awesome!

Speaking of April Fools...my daughter set the alarm on her Nintendo DS, then hid it under the my bed.  So at 2:45 this morning, I am awakened by a alarm.  It took me and my wife both to find it and get the crazy thing shut off...

Well, last night, the kids were out playing, and I called off work today.  I figured I wouldn't tell them, and surprise them this morning.  When that alarm went off, it set in motion a revenge prank...LOL

This morning, my daughter comes in and says "DADDY!  ITS 7:40!!!!  YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AT WORK!!!!!"  I said "Oh man, I was up late looking for that alarm and overslept!"  Her shoulders slumped, she knew she had gone too far. Then I started laughing, and told her I took off. 

The good news is no more pranks!  LOL
