Home Group + Perceptions
Tuesday night was home group, and I was surprised at how good it was. I’ve been feeling like not going lately, cause I it’s like no one is really interested, and there are no good discussions (hopefully that doesn’t come back to bite me…). I have no idea if anyone else felt/feels the same way. Luke and I have been going to another home group on Monday nights as well which has been really encouraging/thought provoking/interesting and I guess that hasn’t helped the whole Tuesday night situation…
Anyway, back to this last Tuesday and how it was good. I shared something I’d read in Numbers, and people actually DISCUSSED it! I don’t think this has ever happened to me at home group! My conversation starters are usually dead ends!!
We also went round in a circle and shared things that we admired/liked/generally positive things about each other. I was surprised at how awkward this made me feel. Luke suggested it, and I was poking him in the side saying, “No, no, lets not do that”. I’m not sure if it was the saying nice things about people, or the having people say nice things about me bit that was the worst.
Anyway, it was really, really interesting to see how people saw me. I’m not going to share what people said here- I’m not conceited, but I will share with you that some were a surprise, and others were things that I really value. It’s interesting that Pete mentioned a characteristic about me which I didn’t particularly consider myself having, but REALLY strongly value in other people. As in, it is one of my pet hates when people don’t have this, and I really admire people who do have this. I assume now that that’s one of the reasons that I value it so highly.
It’s just funny how things go together… lots of healing on the inside (of the heart kind), and new understanding of myself, which is always good.

Menu Plan
So I am on this new ‘core’ plan at WW. It’s been REALLY good. I lost 1kg last week, which I’m pretty happy about.
Here’s my menu plan for the next week (dinners only):
Thursday: chicken and potato casserole
Friday: Lamb & sweet potato slow cooker casserole
Saturday: Chilli con carne
Sunday: Pad thai
Monday: curried lentil and pumpkin soup
Tuesday: greek lamb salad
Wednesday: indian lamb spinach curry
Have I mentioned that I am loving my wii fit??! I am the only one who uses it though… which I guess happens when it’s just Luke and I. Pepper totally ripped my skirt the other day when I was jogging on the wii fit. She was all excited that my skirt was moving- and it had little sequense on it that sparkled and then she jumped up to bit it, got it, and then ripped down. Not sure if it’s fixable- definitely can’t be bothered to fix it right now anyway, it’s WAY too cold.
In other news, today was my last staff lunch at JLE and I was a little bit nervous about it. I was mostly being a control freak though, cause this week I have been training the lady who is taking over parts of my job and I kept thinking, “I’ll just change that next week when she’s not here”, and then I realise that I CAN’T change it next week because I won’t be there and she will be!! But whatever. I want to get this stupid prac out of the road! Not looking forward to 9 weeks of not getting paid, but if I get my but into gear eLearning wise, I can make a bit more money and it will work out. It might be a bit of a weekend gig though.
So far the nights of me week during prac will look something like this: mon=netball, tues=free/ eLearning wed=homegroup1 thurs= homegroup2 Fri=youth Sat= free/out Sun=church.
Yeah, so I am definitely going to need to NOT do some of those things I want to plan lessons and make resources and write up stuff for my interview. I am thinking of culling netball, alternate homegroups, and church @ night (I already go in the mornings). That should leave me social enough- can go out on Sat, and also time to spend with Luke- saturday day.
I best be off now and do some wii fit before bed!
ciao.
