to err is human

Sherry | March 13, 2008

I love being human and I prove my humanity every day of my life. Today I became acutely aware once again that I am indeed human. I have spent the entire week printing, collating, punching, and binding the 2008 church directory. Yes, I know, it is March and I’m finally getting around to doing the [...]

lookit!

Sherry | February 27, 2008

We might be going somewhere! Posing passports for an Internet posting reminded me a little of what a girl does with her hands and arms when she’s caught with a little more skin showing than she intended. You’ll let me know if you think more “skin” is showing than is wise, won’t you?

links - part six

Sherry | February 19, 2008

We’re overdue for some links. I hope you like this set:
• Compared to my coworker Denise, I’m Hard-hearted Hannah. Yet listening to this, I felt a lump forming in my throat. Maybe there’s hope for me? Nah…
• I couldn’t do this to save my life.
• Get out your credit card. If you have a cat, [...]

it

Sherry | February 18, 2008

Mike and Janelle tagged me with a meme! The rules:
Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating!
Find page 123
Find the first 5 sentences
Post the next 3 sentences
Tag 5 people
This might be one of those times I’d choose to break a rule (the one about no cheating) but I won’t. The book [...]

my turn

Sherry | February 16, 2008

Four and a half years ago, when I interviewed for my job at NFC, I bragged to my soon-to-be boss that I never get sick. And—accident recovery aside—I haven’t missed a day of work for sickness…until last Wednesday. I’ve enjoyed a little too much telling people my theory that my monthly allergy shots somehow serve [...]

just wondering

Sherry | February 10, 2008

When you attend church with a big crowd and sit near the front, it takes a long time to file out at the end of the service. I probably should have been pondering what the preaching pastor at Cherry Hills Community Church spoke about, and I really did listen, but instead I noticed how many [...]

average

Sherry | February 4, 2008

In my recent reorganize mode I came across a Glamour Shot taken back in 1994. Of course it took some professional wizardry to pose this, and the newly healed tattoo on my ring finger explains the daring extravagance and the toward-the-future look in my eyes.

Mauri didn’t get a fancy schmancy bride. More like run of [...]

nothin’ worth talking about

Sherry | February 3, 2008

I don’t spend much time thinking or talking about the weather. I figure it’s gonna be what it’s gonna be, so if it’s cold I put on a coat and if it’s warm I don’t and if it’s raining I walk a little faster and if the sun is shining I close my office blinds [...]

wash my mouth out with soap

Sherry | January 16, 2008

An acquaintance stopped by my office to leave something for me to distribute. As he left he met someone in the hall and returned to get one of what he brought me. Before my brain had a chance to censor my mouth, out came “Indian giver!” Of course it was just good-natured mouthing off, but [...]

timing

Sherry | January 10, 2008

It stormed last Friday night so I pulled the Jeep in the garage sideways after my shopping spree so I could open the back to unload without getting everything wet. I made a mental note to straighten it to make room for the van that Mauri would pull in the next morning from his week [...]
