So last night at FGCU on of the students from CCF, Jessica, organized a showing of "Invisible Children"...it's all about the civil war in Uganda and how the rebel army is kidnapping children and forcing them to fight. They are exposed to horrific torture and abuse...this to children between 8-16 becasue they can brainwash the children and turn them into killing machines. It was all filmed by 3 college students that went to Africa...everyone needs to check out the website: www.invisiblechildren.com it tells so much more. My mind and heart have been turning since I saw it.
On a lighter note, it's Friday and I'm pretty stinkin excited about it! I have no big plans all weekend. Tonight I'm going to clean and have a personal me night (I'm one of those people that find cleaning relaxing) wait never mind...I just got a call and it looks like I'm going out with some old college friends. Man...I feel so old and nerdy becasue I was looking forward to getting organized, laundry, and cleaning then sitting down with a nice cold Coke Zero (Thanks Jesse I love them now but can't find them anywhere!!!) But it will be fun to catch up with people that knew me in my wild Bible college years...Tommorrow is the day with the grands (my mom's parents) My grandpa is sooo funny - he's one of those old men that randomly cuss -- he says damn a lot and it makes me giggle! He'll try to feed me cookies and before i leave palm me a 20 (I'm his favorite and I'm totally ok with that). My grandma will try to show me her retirement home producions of Fiddler on the Roof and other musicals but my grandpa will save me...All the meanwhile keep giving me Diet Cokes and asking me if I'm hungry when I finally give in they'll take me to Hungry Howies Pizza that has "the best damn pizza in town" says Grandpa. Then we'll head off to Beall's outlet where my grandpa suddenly disapears and my grandma is picking out outfits for me...I'll leave at 3pm becasue they don't want me driving at night...ahhh the grands - one has got to love them!
Then is sweet Megan time. Megan was my roommate in college and partner in crime! We went to Russia together...she's the kind of friend you never get tired of being around. Also, when paired our IQ drops significantly and I tend to laugh till I cry a lot! I've had to share her all week and I've been slammed with CCF and work but not Saturday night...ohh no not then. Ughh I wonder what we're goin do - Ft.Myers isn't really a hopping place for those of us that don't bar hop or go to clubs (actually there' only one club and it looks sad from the outside) who knows what will happen...fun will happen that's for sure.
You know me. Or you think you do You just don’t seem to see I’ve been waiting all this time To be something I can’t define. So let’s cause a scene... I’ve just got to get myself over me - The Format
