Woke up this morning to Restless telling me to get up and for me to get him my laundry. I know he loved waking me up, it probably put a smile on his face for the rest of the morning. It was 8am. So I got him my dirty clothes and then got up for good so I could go to church. Chunky wanted me to wake him up around 8:30am so I did on my way out.I stopped at the gas station across the street for a quick breakfast and then headed out down the road and sat outside the main doors waiting for 9am to roll around, the time the service started. The front doors were shut so I figured I was real early. It wasn't till about 5 minutes till did I realize that everyone was entering the sanctuary from a side door. So I headed in and took a seat.A few people welcomed me before the service started. The service was ok, just really not my style. There was a lot of responsive reading, and not of just Bible verses, but of just reading for the day. When we prayed near the end I actually fell asleep and when people started saying the Lord's prayer only then did I wake up. Thank goodness it was a prayer and no one was looking around, so I wasn't embarrassed when I jolted. I must have been really tired.After the service, I was invited downstairs for some refreshments. So I chatted a little but then headed out. The World Cup of Soccer Finals were today and I didn't know what time it started so I raced back to the hostel in case I was missing the game.Upon arriving I found out it started around 1pm, so I headed out to get lunch and bring it back in time for the game. I ran into Pop-tart and Ridge Fungi on my way and found out they were watching the game. So I got lunch and headed back to the hostel just in time to start watching the game.At halftime, 2 Shoes, Tom and I got the idea to glue this random quarter to the ground near the TV. Tom threw me the glue and I did the dirty deed. I figured that it would spice the palce up a bit, seeing as it was a barn. Plus, if they really wanted to remove it they could just pop it off with a hammer.Later on, about midway through the second half, low and behold IWIC lives strong, Seour Hawk and 007 along with Furious come walking in. I was thrilled to see them. Instant joy. I knew that I'd for sure be laughing for the rest of the night. Apparently Furious is now in IWIC as Red Squall.So we watched soccer. Italy won against France during the shootout. After the game I was able to trick Seour Hawk into trying to get the glued quarter, so funny.Chunky wanted Seour Hawk and 007 to help him get his pack weight down - and they handed it to him. They went through his whole pack, scoffing at certain items due to weight. It was funny this time around being in the audience rather then the victim.So I got to talk to Keri some today as well. It is wonderful to hear her excited. She no longer is going to be sad because the end is in sight. She sounds really happy which brings joy to my heart.So the rest of the day was filled with random laughs, much of which I will not mention here due to having a mixed audience.So tomorrow we enter in to Maine - the promised land. Holy crap.blueberry muffin, blueberry pastry, blue gatorade---whopper x4 - Burger King, 1 pint cherry garcia---corn with mashed potatoes
