today

today i.....went to the gym!  i liked it.  i also totally fell off the treadmill.  tip:  don't be singin' Holy Spirit come with your eyes closed while walking on the treadmill.  i walked myself backwards right off the thing.  now that's a good tip there.  good thing He was lookin' out for me though....i was wearing the little clip thingy that stops the treadmill when it comes loose.  thanks be to God:)  a teenage girl with a very sweet and understanding smile hopped up onto the treadmill next to mine as i was righting myself and commiseratingly said...."that's ok, i fell off the treadmill before too".  to which i laughed and conspiratorially replied, "don't ever try to walk on the treadmill with your eyes closed."  it was quite a moment.  when i finished and turned around to leave the guy on the treadmill behind me with the glass of ice water just smiled.  i smiled back...of course:)

i talked to a friend for 2 hours on the way home from the gym.  it was a very needful and refreshing talk, but it made my trip to the gym really really l.o.n.g.

made two little monkeys for two identical baby shower cakes this afternoon.  that's about all i had time for in the kitchen because of my exceptionally long trip to the gym.  the first monkey (for tomorrow's cake) came out great, the second one (for next week's cake) is a little dumpy.  may have to do a re-do.

been having some really great fellowship times with the Lord lately.  i'll tell you about it sometime.

january 3rd over and out.
