well. it's been a few days. I've been home at my parent's house, and not using my lap top as much, just because it's crazy to lug it around, and there's no place for me to set it, but the dining room table. No excuses, really.. i gotta get out of that excuse mindset. it's what lost me my job.

speaking of losing my job. when that happened, i scrapped any and all plans to head to orlando to see Jars of Clay at Disney's Night of Joy. It wasn't going to fit into my budget, and i just couldn't do it, and i hoped i had found a job by then. Then, about a month ago, I got an email telling me they booked a show in town. YAY! And, at the church I was attending slightly regularly during the week for a young adult service. WOOT.. and cheap, too! So I bought tickets. It was even better because it was for this Monday (NOJ is Saturday, so I could be sad a bit on Sat, but know that Monday, I'd get to see the show)

fast forward to this afternoon. I logged on to facebook and got a notification that some guy had "cancelled" jars of clay show... i was mighty confused.. i checked the church website, to see anything, and several other places.. and then I got a tweet from @jarsofclay that said it had, in fact been cancelled. I almost cried. But then I called mom and told her what happened and she basically said, let's go! I know she loves Disney as much as i do, and she knows how much NOJ means to me, so we're going. Dad even got on board for it a bit, but he won't let me stay on property. :-(

The only really bad part of it is that I don't get to go west to see BiFF, but I think she wasn't expecting me at this point, b/c i'm going over Friday before the cruise.

I'm just happy to see Jars.. only mildly miffed at the recent venue change for NOJ.. it's at the Studios now, instead of Magic Kingdom.. And I wish Newsboys were playing Sat instead of Friday.. I haven't seen them with Michael Tait as lead, and I want to, but yeah, you live. No one else is really playing that i like.. Mandissa will be there, and I'll stop in, but i think it conflicts with Jars' conversations.. We'll see.. I'm there to have fun and hang out with mom.
