A Case of the Mondays: Take Two

Hello, Monday. There are many unpleasent things about you, but here's your Top Ten for today:

1) It's Monday.

2) I had class at 8 am.

3) I had to preach for the class at 8 am.

4) Getting ready for class, I realized that I didn't have any dress clothes appropriate for preaching. Dresses I wear are bright blue and I wear them with tights and boots. Amy B., who lives across the hall from me, set me straight. "Uh, Amy. Your outfit shouldn't be louder than your sermon." Awesome.

5) This past weekend was our floor retreat. We bought food, filled the tank up with gas, and saved the receipts for me to be reimbursed. That works if you can keep track of the receipts for longer than 13 hours.

6) In the SDR, a girl was wearing her nose ring (against the dress code at MBI), so the RA at the door told her to take it out. She did...until she got into the servery. So I knew I needed to confront her, but I was so super nervous! I was sitting with my friend Bethany Jackson, told her the situation, she gave me a pep talk until I would actually get out of my chair and say something. When I finally found the guts to go confront her, I told her to take it out. With an eye roll she walked away from me. I'm just doing my job, girls. And it's Monday.

7) My bank statement came in the mail today and there was a $14.95 on it from Snapfish. I haven't ordered any pictures this year, so I called and asked what it was for. Apparently, I signed up for a membership without knowing it. A membership that costs me $14.95 every month. Awesome.

8) Cramps. Need I say more?

9) Opened my fridge this morning to the realization that the eggs I have in there have offish gone bad. There's nothing like the smell of rotten eggs to get you in the Monday morning mood.

10) The family I babysit for has a really narrow garage. Usually I park in the street, but all the spots were taken. So, as the mom left I took her spot. My monster of a car doesn't really fit. I scraped up the mirror and, when I finally fit my large self (well, my car, not my person. Haha) in the garage there was no room to get to the door! I had to crawl over the hood of my car and slide down it like a ramp, right into the house!

Oh, and it's only 2:22. Perfect.
