Oh man, it’s been a long time. I could give many excuses,
but you don’t need that. In fact, I am not even sure why I stopped writing on
here. I just did. I can’t promise I will continue, but I will try. I took
myself to a coffee place in town so I would have to sit down and write an
update to email as well as a blog entry. The update is done, and now I feel
like my brain is empty! And I just spilled sugar all over the table. So if that
gives you any indication of how well my brain is working right now…
Yes, in case you were wondering, I am still Miss Ridiculous.
The ridiculous things I wrote about in November seem so far away now. I have
since moved on to other ridiculous adventures. But the Christmas Walk/living
nativity scene went really well. The best part, according to the kids, was that
we had a “real” Jesus! One of my friends brought the three month old she was
fostering, so Mary was able to have a real baby! They were so so excited. And
Joseph did not dance in the stables, though he was the cutest thing I have ever
seen holding that baby! He truly loved being Joseph. And cupcake the hamster is
still alive. She has also never managed to escape her cage! The kids love her,
and she has been pretty easy to take care of. The best part is when I put her
in her ball and let her roll around. If the kids are around, she usually goes
in a corner and hides from them. They always think she is stuck when in fact
she is just trying to avoid them. Smart hamster J.
Looking back, I am not sure my new adventures are quite as
ridiculous as those. But life never ceases to be interesting, and entertaining.
This past week I helped judge the elementary talent show auditions. Let me tell
you, I wish I had a video camera! They were so so so funny! I love that lots of
kids are not afraid to get in front of people and sing or dance or do something
crazy. If only us adults could be so confident! Well, not too confident J. I do wish however
that I could dance like some of those kids J.
My sweet little Michuki got adopted, which means I have a
precious little girl now. She is the best! She is four months and has the
sweetest personality. It will be hard to let her go when she gets adopted, and
I will be so happy at the same time!
Other ridiculous things…well…this one is ridiculous in a
good way. Less than a month before spring break, my roommate asked if I wanted
to go to Ethiopia with her. I of course said YES! We booked our tickets about
two weeks before we left J.
We had a great time and it was fun to see more of Africa.
