Sunday Somethings, 13Dec09
Others writing the Sunday Somethings: Kerry
Something that made me happy this week: Completing and order our yearly photo book from Shutterfly. I even remembered to use all my coupons and got free shipping. I can hope it gets here before next weekend, but in time for Christmas would be good enough.
Something i struggled with this week: My first bad cold of the year. I’m convinced the only reason i got sick was because i gloated about how i wasn’t getting sick while Lance was suffering through it. Oops.
Something tasty i ate this week: My group went out for our holiday lunch at An. I had the tuna.
Something i learned this week: Nathan introduced me to the concept of Narrative Theology.
Some things from the bridge table: I’ve written up several interesting hands from the San Diego Nationals. I also wrote up the hand from this week where i got to endplay my ex-husband.
Some things i am doing towards my goals: I completed my 10th prepared speech for Toastmasters, which makes me a “Competent Communicator.”
Something i am reading: The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco.
Something happening around the house: We beat Bowser in New Super Mario for Wii and uncovered a secret World 9.
Something i am thinking: What is the purpose of punishment? To deter an individual from repeating an act? To deter others from doing the same thing? Are some things just worthy of being punished? A combination of these things? What if you didn’t know better or couldn’t control your actions?
Something i am looking forward to next week: Wrapping presents - it’s a big part of the fun for me.
Something i am hoping: To get a start on organizing the discussion Nathan and i have been having. I’ve referenced it a few times here, and i want to blog about it some.
Something random: We have canceled our Direct TV subscription and are now subsisting solely on what’s available on the web and what we get through Netflix. Honestly, i haven’t even really noticed. Plus, since i can’t flop down in front of the TV, i seem to be getting more done regarding my various projects.
Something captured: I have no new pictues of my own this week, so i’ll steal Kerry’s photo from last week’s annual Christmas date.

We cancelled cable when we moved this summer, and I don’t miss it one bit. Honestly, there’ve always been way more things I want to watch than I have time for anyway, so it’s nice to have the list automatically shortened. And to be able to give the finger to Time Warner. I like your purple sweater!

It sounds like even though you had one more sex talk than I did, you got
off easy. Mine was from dad when I was already old enough to know pretty
much everything, but he insisted on asking me what I knew and slowing
talking through details. Worst day of my life by far!
