The rain falls ever on and on. And the weekend's weather will be iffy at best, which really gets in the way of our picnic plans. Everything will be kind of wait-and-see now. I'm mad because I wanted the CA crew to see how beautiful my city is in the spring, and now they'll forever think of it as rainy and overcast. :( The end of April/beginning of May is always like this, though. I should have thought ahead. One year Kathy, Em and I et al. decided to go to Macaroni Grill for an end-of-semester dinner, but were detained by tornado sirens. The RAs trooped us all to the basement, which was flooding. When we were finally released, the parking lot had turned into a river and it took us forever to drive to the restaurant. Ironically it's one of my favorite dorm memories. :)

This and several other new icons are from icondesperence, which I found through Messa. She's got some great stuff- check it out!

I'm in Genesis again, and I just read Chapter 9, where Noah gets drunk and his youngest son, Ham, is disrespectful about it. (Who says the Bible isn't exciting?) It always reminds me of three years ago when Harris was teaching on the Ten Commandments. He used the story in the Honoring Your Parents talk. Anyway, because of his disrespect, Noah curses Ham's son, Canaan, who later becomes the father of all the nations Israel defeats, like the Hittites and the Amorites. All because Ham called attention to his father's not-so-wise behavior. Kind of makes you think, huh? I know it makes me nervous. Oh, and I'm choosing not to make any Bacon jokes.

I will see Jessica, Jonathan, and Dania TOMORROW! Can you believe it? At any given moment I'm either hyper-excited they're coming, or nervous because I'm so anxious for everything to go well. I'm sure the rest of you will be glad when the trip is over, and you don't have to hear us talk about it anymore. :)

No no- it's more like I'll be glad when it's over so I can stop being desperately JEALOUS!
Seriously, I hope you guys have a great time even though I am jealous- do lots of fun things and I'll pray for the weather to clear up for yall.

I just started reading Genesis again myself. It always fascinates me. Better reading than any fiction book could offer.

Have a great visit with your friends! As someone who always gets rained on when I make travel plans, I know how anxious you can get worrying about things. But relax and have fun. It's not the weather, but the company that will make it enjoyable.

I actually like rainy and overcast places, so don't think that the gray will cast the city in an unpleasant light for me. I'll probably like it all the better for the weather. (-: I don't think I'd necessarily like it to be rainy a lot of the time, but coming from someplace where it's almost unrelentingly sunny during the summer, I need to stock up on cool, cloudy days.

See you tomorrow!

On second thought...

Hey- it looks like you might get a little sun on Saturday maybe. If that fails- it's supposed to be beautiful in Chattanooga all weekend! So change of location?? ;-P

I think it would be so exciting to hear a tornado alarm! I've never heard one in real life! Okay, but I don't want anyone to be scared, so maybe that's not a great idea.

Anyway, don't worry about the weather or anything like that. We're all going to have a fun time regardless of the weather! We'll make do. :) See you tomorrow. Did we ever send you our itinerary? Who is picking us up?

I hope you all have a grand and glorious time, rain or no!

:( Oh, I wish you could be here too! I'm still determined to meet you this year. We still have eight months to work with. :)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yes...thanks for reminding me. :)

Who is that in your icon? I can't remember and it's been bugging me. :)

Yay, you know the song!

That's good to know. :) Also, the sun just came out, and the forecast for Saturday is looking a little better. This time of year no one ever knows what's going on. :)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well, we might get to hear one. Who knows!

Thanks for the reassurance. :)
