full

Well, today was a full, busy day, and tomorrow promises to be full and busy too.

I spent the first half of the day at a wedding. It started at 7:30 and we left around 1:30. It was my first trilingual wedding. The bride was French, the groom was a national, and besides these two language, most of the service was translated into English.

The translator was a little rough. He wasn't familiar with Bible terms, so he stumbled a good bit. The funniest goof was, "and the two shall become one meat." Ha!

Besides being trilingual, it was probably the most international wedding I've ever been to. There were about 200 people there, and just at my table (at the reception) There were 2 French, one Malaysian, 3 from the US, one Swiss, and one national. The woman coordinating the reception was from Brazil. The special music was provided by a Korean.

I ended up cutting the cake at the reception, although I never intended to. The coordinator seemed at a loss and asked if I would help. Don't really know why she singled me out. Do I look like a good cake cutter? I must say, I did pretty OK when we got our system down.

Oh, by the way. They have special wedding outfits, I wore mine today from eight years ago. While I could have wished it would be a little looser, it still actually fit me well. So, I guess that's something. If only I could cut down a bit, instead of holding steady.

Home, chilled out a bit on the computer. Called a friend and officially set up a coaching time. This time I'm the one who will be coached. Hopefully it will shake me out of his malaise I've been in.

Then on to start the paint job on the second side of the restaurant. Going to be an enjoyable process.

Mr. met me at the restaurant, we split a large pizza, and went off to babysit. They have two wee tiny ones; 1 and 1/2 yrs, and a few months old. I keep being confirmed that I probably don't have that mothering instict. :-(

Home again, played with the cat. Since we had been gone most of the day she had boundless energy. Funny. I only got seriously clawed once.

So, the things missing from today: devotions and exercise. Will have to work on that.

I forgot to take my camera along with me all day, so I had to shoot a last-minute "beauty" photo. Some might not agree that my choice of subject is real beauty, but it's something near and dear to my heart, which brings me lots of joy. :-)
