Friday fragments

I don't have a really coherent post, just some tidbits that are going through my head that I thought I'd share.

First off, I would like to say that in my next life, I am going to be a weather person. Why? Because they never have to be right about their predictions. It seems like 9 times out of 10 they are, in fact, wrong. I feel better about expecting the exact opposite of what they say rather than going by what they predict. Yes, I'm bitter. Our weathermen predicted that we would get snow last night. I was all prepared for a snow day (because 1/10 of an inch warrants that in SC) or at least a delay. And what did we get? Nothing, zip, nada. I'm not even sure it rained at my house and it certainly wasn't cold enough to freeze. I feel like any idiot could stand up on TV and shoot from the hip what the weather is going to be. I'd just give everything a 50% chance and half the time I'd be right.

Moving on.... the National Championship game was a huge disappointment to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the SEC, and I was hoping Bama would win. But, I wanted them to win in a fair contest, and I feel like it wasn't fair after Colt McCoy got injured in the first series. My heart went out to Garrett Gilbert. Can you imagine being a true freshman, stepping onto the biggest stage in college football to take over for a Heisman candidate? Can you imagine having to face the Crimson Tide defense? I just felt for him. So, after halftime, when it was announced that Colt McCoy would not come back in, I went to bed. The game was in the bag. But, the bright side is the SEC prevailed again, so I can't be all that upset.

And one thing that I'm baffled about today is how some people have absolutely no sense of organization at all. WEG is one of the hosts of a party this weekend- an oyster roast and stock the bar for some friends getting married in March. Another guy put it all together, and basically the only thing he has asked WEG for was money to help out. So, one would assume that everything is taken care of. Not so much. As of last night, he was unsure of what other food he was having with the oysters and said that he had a lot of errands to run on Saturday for the party. SATURDAY! The party is at 6:00 on Saturday. The event planner in me is screaming! He has not even gotten a gift for the couple from the hosts and has no clue whatsoever how many to expect. I fear this is going to be a half-assed attempt at a party, which makes me aggravated. I feel like if you are going to have something for someone, you should do it right, not go at it half-cocked.

Now that I am fired up all over again, I am going to read my Bible passages for today. I started the One Year Bible program yesterday (a few days late, I know), and I hope I will be able to stick with it. It's something I really want to accomplish, and I guess it is my New Year's Resolution, although I didn't really make one.

Y'all have a great weekend, and thanks for your comments, good thoughts, and prayers regarding my MIA post the other day. I am cautiously optimistic that things are going to be okay.
