I get paid for this :-)

For the last few days I've had scale cut outs all over my desk and have been trying them in various configurations in order to get the whole thing to fit into the space available. There's something rather satisfying about the result. Other people are less enthusiastic.

In other news we have a church Christmas social coming up. Panic, toys out of pram and chaos. I don't understand why it's so complicated. Maybe I should have just volunteered for the organising group from the start.

And have I mentioned that young people are CRAZY? Almost, but not quite, as crazy as the leaders.

Long time no post

I got asked yesterday what exciting things I've been doing recently.

I'm not sure I've done anything exciting and I can't decide if that's good or bad -I do things because I like doing them, and some things I do because God tells me to do them whether I like it or not. But they're not exciting things. They're just every day things. Aren't they? Should I be excited about them? They never seem to sound exciting when I try and talk about them!

I'm getting paranoid!

The only thing I could think of in response to the question was 'I managed to make my finger bleed on a polystryrene toggle in aquafit'. Not just anyone can do that. And it supercededs my housemates injury with a mechanical pencil last week which, until now, was the most ridiculous injury we'd managed.

it may not be exciting, but it continues to be random. Ho hum. Here's hoping that I manage to work out what I'm doing sometime soon!

HowManyOfMe.com

There are: 2,888 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Now what's even more random about that is the statistic the site gives me. Apparently in the US 99.66% of people with the first name of 'Mary' are female. Now, by my maths that gives 0.34% of men who are called 'Mary'. With the numbers the site gives that means there are 13452 men called 'Mary' in the US.

Doesn't that seem a little odd? (or am I just prejudiced?!)
