Well, this morning at 9:30 I will be attending bible study. It is the first in a six part series of The Purpose Driven Life. It will be nice to finally know what my purpose here is, (I mean other than being a wife and mom, which I adore) but I am very nervous about meeting new people. I have to walk into the home of someone I don't know, and join a bunch of people I don't know. I HATE that. I feel so self consious. I mean, I know it's a church thing, and everyonr there will be nice, but still. You always wonder what they are thinking, will they like you, etc. And of course, I'll be the "new" girl. I don't know anyone at our church, so all these ladies will probably have had a long acquaintance with each other. I know I'll be glad I did it....but I'm still nervous!
After that, I am taking my Dad to shop for an anniversary gift for my Mom. He is so funny. He keeps saying he wants to get her a penoir set....she has never worn, nor asked for fancy nightwear. She usually buys one nightgown a year and wears it until it's basically shreds! LOL. And with the disease my dad has, he can barely see, so it's not like he will even see it on her. But he is insistant. I am trying to lead him toward a regular night gown. Hopefully, he will agree. He's pretty easy going. He will just sit in the wheelchair and let me pick it out. I took him to get her a Christmas card and he chose the first one he picked up. I think he just wanted to say "he" bought it. It was so sad, because he would always read 100 cards to get just the right one, before he got sick. We will have fun, though.
Well, it's time to get dd off to the bus stop, and me on with my day. Wish me luck....and I'll report back later!

Well, have a good day. If you like, you can borrow my tights and cape hahaha Wait! I'd be awful cold then wouldn't I? hahaha Hugs Lanny
have fun at your bible study, I know how scary that can be, but I am sure they will be nice and maybe you will meet some nice ladies.
Have a wonderful day with your dad, how very sweet that he wants to get her such a lovely gift. Enjoy every moment of the time with your dad!
That is so funny he wants to get her the fancy pajamas and so completely sweet and romantic too. I'm sure the Bible study will go well, you will pry meet someone that is very outgoing and you won't feel like the "new girl" for long. ~Melissa
Bible study? Shuttering over here. But, to each their own, and everyone needs to have faith in something right? I am sure you will be fine going into a house with people you don't know to discuss Jesus/God, etc. With your smile and personality, they will accept you with open arms anyway! And, your dad sounds so sweet!! Let him buy her whatever he wants, even if it has garters and is black and pink! Hee-hee!
Hugs and Love, Lisa
All the church people will be very lucky to meet you Sherry...hope you have a wondeful time and pick something pretty for your mom
It's hard to imagine you being shy about meeting new people...you are SO personable yourself. I'm sure the awkwardness will be short lived. Enjoy the group. Your dad sounds like a sweetheart. Have a wonderful time with him today.
