Once again in 2010

The blog is back. I am here for you. It is mid February and this is my first post. That is a little sad.

Several new things in my life to blog about. The TV show "Better Off Ted" is my new favorite show. I am into uncluttering stuff now, I am an unclutterer so to speak. Oh, and I quit my job. I gave a seven weeks notice and started to work full time for myself January 1.

I know that everything is different but I have not changed. Spending and sleep habits are only the tip of the change iceberg but they are all that I can see for now.

I just thought I was being pulled in different directions before. I honestly don't know how I ever found time to make it to work each day. I suppose that if I had a hard job that pushed me to excel I would not have ever started a side company and took a night job in addition to my charity work.

We are looking for a church now also. Lets not stop the hope and change express at just work and home life. We visited a methodist church and the best thing in the world happened. The Southern Baptist have a tradition that I call "smother and grill". A visitor can barely make it through the door without shaking 20 hands and answering 50 questions. If that was not bad enough they have a "stand if you are a visitor" moment and then the preacher encourages everyone in the building to run over to you to hug and touch. There is even special music to let you know how long you have to run over and hug the stranger. It is a type of musical chairs that inspires even the oldest in the crowd to line up to say something and touch your arm or back.

Well... that being said, the Methodist church we went to was a very different experience. A couple that was manning the door approached us and spoke for just a moment and then they said, "we will leave you alone to get settled in". WOW. That was cool. During the service there was a "lets all say hello to each other" moment but it was very brief and I don't recall music. I think only the people in front of us turned around to say hi.

Based on my social retardation I would say that I am more Methodist now. I need to find if there is a special diet or a blood letting ceremony that is not listed on their website.

More to come.....
