I have nothing to say, yet here I am

I wish I had something terribly brilliant and creative to write about, perhaps something that doesn’t pertain to any health issues or other equally boring topics. Unfortunately, we spent the entire day at the pool yesterday and I believe that the 100 degree heat combined with my cold turkey approach to my Diet Coke addiction has completely melted any original thought I had in my brain.

Just imagine what will happen later today when it’s supposed to hit 103 degrees.

103 degrees in June with no ice cold Diet Coke.

That’s just eight kinds of wrong.

So due to the fact that I can’t put together any kind of paragraph about anything, I’m resorting to a list of things that may or may not (leaning heavily toward “may not”) be interesting to anyone.

1. I have recently discovered the show “Mad Men” and finished watching Season 1 last night. My plan was to make it my summer show, but unfortunately Season 2 doesn’t come out on DVD until July. How am I supposed to wait three weeks to see what happens next?

Anyone have any good recommendations for a summer T.V. show? Because if it’s going to be 103 degrees all summer long, I’m going to need something to do that merely requires lying on the couch in the air-conditioning.

2. Over the years I have tried many a candle in search of the perfect scent. My taste tends to vary depending on the season, but I recently rediscovered Trapp Candles in Guava/Mango. It’s like a little piece of summer in a cute glass jar.

3. When Caroline got out of Sunday School last Sunday, I noticed they’d learned about Jesus feeding the five thousand. That night at dinner I asked her what they learned about because I wanted to hear her version. She told us some little boy brought some bread and fish to see Jesus, then two angry men tried to take it from him, and ultimately Jesus told them it wasn’t enough and went to a bakery to get more.

They must be using a different translation of the Bible in her Sunday School class.

4. Sophie is in Pittsburgh this weekend at Living Proof Live. She’s working behind the scenes with the event team and will be posting updates on LifeWay AllAccess throughout the weekend.

I’m a little sad I’m not there because what if Beth has a question about the Bible and needs me to answer it for her? For instance, does she know about the bakery that baked all that bread for 5,000 people without the benefit of a modern day industrial oven?

5. I wish I had something else, but I’m out.

Y’all have a great weekend.
