Today I will be spending 4 hours at the Normal Public Library with the rest of the NCC Steering Committee during the marathon kick-off start-of-the-year what-have-we-gotten-ourselves-into-now first meeting of 2011. One new member was smart and said he had to go to a chess tournament. We offered to change the day. Chess tournament that day. As a matter of face, chess tournament every Saturday of the month. Smart. Except he forgot that rule of committees that states When a Member Is Not Present He/She Will Automatically Be Assigned the Most Odious Tasks That No One Else Wants To Do. So how smart is it to miss the meeting, really?
Another not-very-smart thing to do is to offer to take on the odious-est of tasks on a volunteer basis. That would be me, the next church treasurer. Holy moly, what was I thinking? I didn't think it would be such a big deal until I saw the beaming relief-laden smile on the previous treasurer's face when the end of 2010 rolled around and she saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
And on a related note, my dad is going to watch my 2 kids and Nikki's daughter today during the meeting. They will be at Francisco's house where there is a pool table, a Wii, and apparently a lot of jello with whipped cream in the fridge. The kids are going to have a great time, no doubt about it. And with access to all the church funds, I will be able to pay to get the jello stains removed from the pool table!

Shoot, I should of had you make lunch for this morning too -- you totally need more to do, HA!
I won't tell if you abscond with the church funds, as long as you split the pot with me.
Yes, what WERE you thinking?! I hope you don't return home to gelatinous...mayhem.
