I washed my car this afternoon. It's all bright and shiny again. I did notice that the insides of the windows need to be cleaned. I'll have to do that tomorrow. I should vacuum it out too. Since today was sunny I washed my bed and hung it on the clothes line. I just love that smell. During the summer, when I was little, bedding was always hung on the line to dry. When we first moved in we didn't even have a clothes dryer. Everything had to be hung on the line. During the winter it was hung up in the basement.
I got a phone call this afternoon from one of the stores I had interviewed with at last week's job fair. The short version is that I didn't get the job. I didn't really think I would. I had to give it a shot though, maybe one of the others will come through.

Life Lessons
This morning's sermon on Romans 8:17-18 was titled "Surprised by Suffering". Verse 17 reads, "For I consider that the suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." Pastor Alan said that this doesn't mean we, as believers, get a "get out of jail free card" as far as suffering is concerned. Many verses say that we will have suffering and persecution as we live a Godly life. The fact is that no matter how much suffering we have in this life the glory we will inherit in the next life will far out weigh anything here.

Weather Woes?
Our low temperature missed tying the record low by one degree. It got down to 46 degrees last night. The high today was 72 degrees. The normal high is 84 degrees. The temperature was definitely better today. The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect!

Weather Woes
It is supposed to be early summer here in Iowa but it was so cold today we had the to turn on the furnace! The normal high for today is 84 degrees. Today's high was 67 degrees. The current temperature is 53 degrees. The record low for today is 45 degrees. It only has to drop 9 degrees to break it. The forecast high for today was 78 degrees. It was cloudy and rainy all day too. Corn and soybeans don't grow very well in cold weather.

Cookies, Part 2
The verdict is in on my cookies. My sister came over this afternoon and ate 3 cookies while she was here. She thought they were good. My dad thinks they are too hard. My mom ate two cookies yesterday. She must have thought they were good to eat two of them.

Mmmmm . . Cookies!
I made chocolate chip cookies this afternoon. They are very good! The recipe said it would make 6 dozen cookies. I made them bigger than the recipe called for so I got fewer. While I was making them I got the spatula caught in the beaters and bent them all out of shape. They were even stuck in the mixer for a while. All is fixed now though.

Job Search
A new mall in the area had a job fair today and tomorrow. I filled out 5 or 6 applications today. I had a short interview with one company and they said they would let all of us know either way on Friday. Fingers are crossed.

Father's Day
Well, today was fairly uneventful. My mom and sister were in the same room this afternoon and didn't fight! Most of the time if they spend very much time together they get on each other's nerves and the insults start flying. Their biggest problem is that they are too much alike, each of them has to be right and if someone disagrees with them that person is an idiot. Most of the time I am the idiot in their view, especially with my sister.

Starfleet
The Region 6 summit is taking place this weekend in Wisconsin. This is when everyone in the region gets together to have fun and take care of regional business. Jess has yet to announce to the ship that I am the new Chief Science Officer, maybe after this weekend she will do it. I posted a message today with my new title on the Yahoo! group. I also wrote my first Departmental Report tonight. I will submit it for the Knightly News, the ship newsletter, also.

And Down Again
Got another call from my temp agency this morning canceling my assignment for Monday. Just when I thought I would get a paycheck I get the rug pulled out from under me.

Work At Last
My temp agency called this morning with an assignment for 2 or 3 days next week. I will be bidding in auction for a company. I have never been to an auction before. I think it will be interesting.

Work & Such
I called my temp agency yesterday and told them I would stuff envelopes if I had to, I just need a job! They said they didn't have anything for me. AAUGHHH!!
Last night I was checking some of the job Web sites and applied for two jobs I found there. One of them has contacted me by e-mail already. My local newspaper had an ad with a Web site that I applied for and was contacted for today. Both of them are part time but any income is better than none!

Starfleet Promotion
Friday afternoon I found out that I had been promoted to Chief Science Officer aboard the St.George. Yesterday I set up a Web page for my department and emailed the information to my Commanding Officer, Jess. I am still waiting for my promotion to be announced to the whole ship. I was hoping Jess would do it yesterday or today but nothing so far. Weekends are usually pretty slow on the lists so I am not really surprised. If she doesn't announce it tomorrow I am going to be really perturbed.
Church Stuff
Last week after the morning service my church had a business meeting to discuss the pros and cons of voluntary annexation into Pleasant Hill. This morning the membership voted on the annexation question. I am not a member so I don't know what the results were yet. This morning when I told someone that I wasn't staying because I wasn't a member he asked me why I wasn't a member. I have been attending this church for 4 or 5 years now. I was a member of the church I grew up in and I was forced to leave after 32 years because my ex-brother-in-law was spreading lies about me. The members chose to believe him instead of me. So, instead of giving him more chances to lie about me, I left.

Stormy Weather
Northern Iowa had tornadoes last night and central Iowa has severe thunderstorms tonight. 'Tis the season I guess. Heat and humidity is the perfect combination for severe weather. Yahoo! :(
