Hiya, Internet. I’m a lil’ bored.

So, I’m going to tell you something that is annoying to me. Would you like to know what it is? I don’t care, I’m going to tell you anyway.

I’m sitting in my favorite coffee shop, and right behind me is a “too-cool-pastor”. You know the kind, The Shack is sitting pretentiously on his table and he’s typing away on a MacBook and talking on an iPhone about the “weight in his Spirit” and the sweetness of his organic Tee.

He’s cool, he’s tan, he’s accessorized, he’s reading the “right” book… but he also just seems to be trying so very hard to be “right”. Not that it’s wrong to strive toward perfection or hope for the best, but when the image is so carefully varnished, we can’t help but wonder what’s beneath it.  Unfortunately, I find out in just a minute.  His drink wasn’t right and he’s very unhappy about it, and he’s gossiping loudly with a buddy about another pastor’s private life.

This reminds me just how closely we people watch each other… my reaction speaks to my pride about how I handle my life, with my bowed head before meals and the little fish on the back of my often angrily-driven pick-up.  I need to work on my “witness” to borrow a cliched word from my too-cool-pastor buddy.

So that’s my annoyance/deep thought for the day.  I snagged you in with silliness and then convicted you, just like that. One-two punch.

Tonight is Lindsay’s rehearsal dinner, and I still don’t know what I’m going to wear.  At this point, I’m pretty much resigned to trying on 10 things before I decide, something men will never understand.  But, guys also don’t have fat jeans, skinny jeans, dress shirts, fun shirts, going-out shirts, looking hot shirts, feeling fat shirts, sorta chubby shorts or good leg hair day shorts.  They have t-shirts and collared shirts and jeans and shorts, and if we’re lucky, they notice which one they’re wearing at the moment and MIGHT shave. MIGHT.

Speaking of clothes, I just went to Old Navy the other day and bought four shirts for under $7 each. The only problem with Old Navy is that it’s so incredibly cheap that I end up buying things I never knew I always wanted, which can be both cute and incredibly bad news for my poor little wallet.

I think that’s all that I had on my mind. Thanks for listening.
