Q and A

so i have gotten a couple very good questions that i want to address to the masses since i am sure those posing the questions are not the only ones thinking these things...
q:what churches have i gone to?
a: i have thus far gone to 3 churches and they are; Redeemer Presbyterian which is a well known author/ pastor's church Tim Keller. very good teaching, but very very traditional. Morning Star New York (MSNY) it is affiliated with the EveryNation organization of churches. I am not familiar with this, so if you know anything about that please I would be very grateful for input. And Apostles which is a church plant from Lake Point Baptist in Rockwall, this is the church my friend Chelsea goes to and that I would say I liked the most, but I am not committing to it at this point.

q:what does the title of my blog mean?
a: very good question, submitted by my dear auntie. i must admit that most of my musical knowledge and taste can be attributed to my brothers musical collection. one of the groups i picked up on from him is the Beastie Boys. I know some might be shocked by this, but it is true that during a sculpture class at UNT my favorite "get to work" music was the beastie boys because of thier loud fun rock rap and crazy lyrics. so anyway as i was flying to new york i thought it would be appropriate to listen to some song concerning new york, however i couldn't seem to find anything in my ipod that related....except this particular song no sleep til brooklyn by the beastie boys. which was all that much more appropriate since that is where i am living! so that is the story behind the title.

q: how much will you be working at Kate's Paperie?
a: this is yet to be determined, because i am waiting to see if anything else comes my way. I am working between 15- 20 hours these next two weeks while i am babysitting for susan so I am not overloaded, but after that there is the possibility that i might just love it so much that i will bump my hours up to full time. and yes that is an option they left open to me.

q: how was the first day?
a: well i really enjoyed the first day, but lets be honest the first day of most things is good. So i did LOVE being in the store, but how could I not it is basically what my heaven on earth would look like. so it was fun and i was able to help two customers and be creative in giving them ideas, so that was good. they also thought of a great little task for me to get me better acquainted with the paper by the sheet. they have these books full of paper samples and then they store the actual paper in flat files below, and they want me to go through and affirm that the system is correct and absolutely perfect. that way they know it is organized well, and i get to stare and beautiful paper all day and organize it. i mean really the only way this could be better is if all of my friends worked there with me. ya now that would be the life. of course then there is the possibility that those friends wouldn't have the same appreciation for the product and then i would get annoyed. so now we will just hope and pray that i would make some great friends who already work there and love paper! anyway the first day was really great. please continue to pray that the lord would be directing me and showing me if this is really where he wants me to stay. i mean it is retail people. on that level i dont know if it is how all my dreams will come true. :)

ok well we have our first house guest in this week. it is a friend of nikki's. so we cleaned up the apt last night and blew up another air mattress for her. nothing like a little southern hospitality up here right.
