Day 2: Service

and by service, I mean menial service. pathetic I know. but still it was something more out of the ordinary of my lethargic life of watching TV, interneting, and exercising -- so please bear with me. I cut some pictures down to size for my mom who needed them for a church project. Then when I saw that the letters she had purchased were probably not going to show up, I suggested that she go to my sisters & see what scrapbook supplies she had. Mom said that the activity was in an hour & she would not have time to go to Lisa's to pick some up. I volunteered to go. I called, made the arrangements, picked them up, and dropped them off at the church where mom was setting up.

On my way home I decided I needed to do something else for someone else. I got the ingredients for cupcakes & set out on a baking mission. Part way through my baking mission I decided to make dinner for the parents. So I am baking cupcakes, and mixing blueberry pancakes all at the same time. After dinner (they were delicious by the way) I frosted the cupcakes & set out on deliveries. If you lived w/in 5 miles of me, you got some. With deliveries came visits. This is when service reversed itself. I don't get out much these days (being unemployed & seeing my savings disappear is not fun) so the talking was much more for me, than it probably was for those I unannouncedly gave cupcakes to. but all in all a good night.

now i need to think of a better project of the day for tomorrow. Any suggestions?
I took pictures of the cupcakes & pancakes, but I need to get this posted before the clock strikes twelve.
