Weekly update (imported from Myspace)

Just feel the need to blog. Not a lot going on.
I haven't been able to talk hardly any this week, which is a good exercise for me. I tend to talk to make myself comfortable in a group. I like to converse - but listening is a habit I need to work on. We can always improve in this area. Having laryngitis has reminded me how much I enjoy talking and singing (however badly). I would seriously miss being able to do either.
Had a busy week at work. I have such a great boss. He has been in an extra-good mood the past two days, which makes it fun. He uses different accents when reading through things (i.e, if he is reading a case where the blueblood lawyers are talking, he will use an old Southern gentleman's drawl--it can get hilarious!). Plus, he talks with his eyes and mannerisms a lot - you just have to know Pat. Andy can testify - he was shocked the first time he met him, he noticed that Pat will be telling a story at normal volume and THEN HE WILL START YELLING AT THE IMPORTANT POINT and then he will be quiet again. This can shock the listener if they aren't accustomed to it, but if you are, then it is great! I am very thankful to work with him. I just wish I could do a better job in some areas.
Andy is getting ready for tour. His voice still isn't back like I would hope, but he is improving every day.
I love our youth. We had a great time at Six Flags. Andy and I ended up with no kids in our group, so it felt like we were dating again. They did really well overall. I heard a couple of things that I was unhappy about, but as a whole, it was great. I think they enjoyed it. I have to admit, even though I hate theme parks (ESPECIALLY on Saturday), I had a good time too. (Which, that flash pass REALLY helped - I am TOO old to stand in three hour lines!) They really are great kids.
However, Sunday night, we went out to dinner with a few of the youth and I had almost as much of a blast there as I did at Six Flags! Best memory of the week: Imagine this, the pickiest eater in the world (Dustin!) is chowing down on something friend at Red Lobster. I don't know what he thought it was, but I can guarantee that he didn't think Calamari is what Calamari is! Of course, Andy and I let him eat it until it was all gone until we informed him that it was fried squid! Classic moment. Wouldn't trade it for the world! :) I mean, this is the guy that wouldn't eat buffalo wings until we explained to him that it was really CHICKEN! :) So funny.
