Continuing Update

December is almost over! I keep thinking...I gotta go to bed cause I gotta go to work tomorrow. Then I remember...I'm on vacation!! Yoo Hoo!

Today was Sunday. It started out a bit rough. Dixie, our yellow lab, pooped all over the carpet by the door to our bedroom. More importantly, the poop was so disgusting and rank that the smell was what woke us up from a dead sleep at 5 a.m. Vaughn was a bit cranky after that. I just lit eight candles, covered my head with the comforter, and went back to sleep.

When I woke up, Vaughn was still cranky. I gave him one of my famous pep talks and he seemed mildly better (although not to the untrained eye!) I made coffee, which was heavenly! I got dressed, changed my shirt, then changed my jewelry. I put on my make-up (cause I didn't want to scare the natives!) Then, I went to church.

I taught my Kid's Church class, which went really well. The story was about how Mary and Joseph left the 12 year old Jesus in Jerusalem for three days! Yup, three days! What was great was that Jesus was astonished that they didn't look for him in the temple in the first place. (So many people lose their kids...and many lose them for more than three days. Some people lose their kids for a lifetime. They don't raise them up in "the way they should go" and they "depart from the straight and narrow way." The thing is...never stop searching for them. You'll eventually find them and with God's help...you'll bring them home.)

After church, I ate an omelette. Then, I went to the Sunflower Market with David. We bought vegetables and whatnot. David caused a mango avalanche while juggling three pieces of the fruit. This bothered him because his OCD couldn't handle the mess. Plus, he couldn't get them to fit back onto the shelf like he wanted. Anyhoo...

I came home and then went to my mom and dad's house. I talked to John about starting a Youth Service on Sundays. Yeah! I looked through my mom's jewelry boxes for some old jewelry that I had misplaced. Found it! By the way, MOM, why don't you ever wear the Kukui Nut necklace that John made you? It's totally unique.

I came home and began the preparations for sushi. Me, Andrew, Donovan Reeves, and Scott Lepelman all made sushi from veggies and ahi tuna. It was good. Fun. All that and more. Vaughn told us that the best thing about sushi was the soy sauce. (Sushi doesn't have soy sauce, he pours it ontop to drown out the flavor of raw fish.) HAHA

Well, that was an overview of a typical Jennifer Sunday. Hope you enjoyed it. I did.
