Jen is a sheep

I decided to be a sheep and follow the herd of people that have a WeatherPixie on their page. She’s on the right hand side and hopefully is as modest as I am in dress. (If she’s not, I might have to switch pixies.)

I just wanna be a sheep. Baa baa baa baa!

Job Interviews

I had two job interviews today: one at Sears and one at a local nursery. The Sears one went really well (I thought). The mursery job (which was the one I wanted) might have been good… if we’d been able to find the place. There was no sign and no place at that address — or at least no sign or driveway. I left a message with them when I got home and I’m going to hope they call tomorrow. I really wanted the interview and job, so I’m pretty frustrated right now.

Transfer Successful

Everything is successfully transferred over. I know I lost 3 comments on the last post, so please re-visit it if you commented. (I think the ones I lost were Muhajabah, Dave, and Leenie.)

Muchos gracias to Krissy for helping with with PHPMy Admin, navigating Cyberpixels, and helping with my config file even though you were also trying to get caught up on laundry. You are an awesome webchica!

Driving

I only told Leenie and my mother-in-law that I was going to do this.

I took my written test for my driver’s license this morning and…

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!! I got a 94% on the Ohio test. This is so nice considering I all out failed the California test twice.

Now to learn how to do the physical part of driving… (And yes I know that it is pathetic that I am almost 23 and have just gotten my permit.)

Yard Work

Our leaves from last fall are still sitting on the lawn. Someone from our church (who has to do a certain amount of community service for his program) came over and got the stuff raked up that was blowing in our neighbors’ yard. I’m going to go out and tackle it this afternoon but I’m trying to figure out how to do it without upsetting my asthma. (My EVIL insurance company is *not* going to cover an ER visit for asthma — I can put money on that.)

News

For those who have been emailing me, yes… Richard is alive. (I spoke to him by phone.) He was ill, has (inasfar as I know) mostly recovered, and is hammering out his thesis which needs to be to the readers within about the next… 10 days or so. Does this satify those who have been asking me? 🙂

Fun with Latin

Ooooooooohhhhh!!! I’m studying to be a “pastorix”. (Apparently in Latin, “pastor” is a male noun and the ending indicates it as such. Therefore, I should be a “pastorix” because I’m female.) Nice try but… I really don’t think this is a good argument against female ordination (if one wanted to use it as such). Our language adopts words with no regard to the gender they had in the prior language.

A few of the women at my seminary used to joke about the fact that we were studying to be “priestesses”. Ironically enough, *we* (the women) were not the ones who advocated bizarre liturgical dances in worship, inclusive language (which is a misnomer), poems about nature being read as the sermon, and the other New Age stuff that all the anti-female ordination people said would enter the church when women became pastorices. (Gotta get that ending right!) The *men* advocated for all those things.
