Is flipping a coin an acceptable means of making major decisions?

I put in notice at my job at sbux. I’ve been asked to consider staying… not sure what I’m going to do at this point… it would be nice to continue getting 2 paychecks every Friday, even if one is considerably smaller than the other. In a month or two, I’d be getting a special Christmas t-shirt. Also, the discount is nice for buying Christmas presents at 30% off is a nice perk. Plus, I would only have to work 12 hours a week (total – all the time)… which would be a welcome change to the 23 I’m putting in this week. The bad part is that I would still be working 3 jobs… and I’m tired… really really tired…

Heads? Tails?

The presidential election is coming up in a short time. I am registered to vote, but I don’t have a decision set in stone at this point. I don’t talk about politics often because I usually get mad… and it’s not worth it to me. I think there are pros and cons to both sides… I’m not asking for anyone else’s view… and I’m not asking for your opinion about whether or not you think I’m going to Hell because there is a chance I might be voting for Obama. It’s just one more decision I have to make soon… and I don’t know what I’m going to… maybe flip a coin… sounds logical to me…

Paper? Rock? Scissors?

Now for something completely different…

Do you know who judge reinhold is? (beckie, I’m sure you do.) He was in fast times at ridgemont high… Beverly hills cop, the santa clause (yes, with tim allen – he’s the stuffy psychiatrist step-dad)… (and still some people don’t know who I’m talking about)…

Well, evidently he lives in little rock part of the time and he came into sbux last week when I was working… I was so so so excited! (I didn’t hide it – very well, anyway.) We had a good conversation and talked about his upcoming show on the cw – easy money. I will be watching (or at least tivo-ing) and would encourage you to, as well… I mean, I want him to keep earning money so that he can continue to come to sbux when he’s in town…

And speaking of tivo… I finally got dvr!!!! It’s not tivo – but it’s still dvr… I guess I’m finally catching up with the rest of the world… now if I can just get an iPod and a better tv… I got an off-brand chi that I do feel is still a VERY good buy and about 1/3 the cost of a chi – and it is working wonders on my insanely long and not-so-easy-to-manage hair…

Seriously… if you want to invest in the “buy-robyn-an-ipod-fund,” I don’t have a problem with it at all.

And one more complete change of subject…

I love Christ church. For anyone who knows me, they know I talk about it all the time… but I’m getting more excited about seeing how it will grow and how it will take a different shape as our Abba chooses to add people to our little flock… and how their gifts will make our body stronger and how they will help care for us… and how we can care for them… plus, I’m excited about the addition of two new little ones who will be joining us soon… and how we, as a body, will help them grow up to be followers of Christ…

Even though life is sometimes hard, things are good…

Yes, of course I know who Judge Reinhold is. I'm probably one of the few people who does.
