Our church was scheduled to be part of a Habitat for Humanity build on Saturday, January 9th. Since I'm attending a photography class on Saturday I was going to miss out on volunteering. So instead, I signed up to volunteer with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Shifts start on Friday, January 8th but all the shifts listed are overnight (9pm-3am and 3am-9am). If you know me, you know I'm a night owl, so the overnight shift is no problem for me. They are announcing the family and location tomorrow but I'm betting on League City since that's where the pep rally was held. Anyway, I submitted my request to volunteer and found out today that I was selected. Only problem is they scheduled me to work this Friday 3pm-9pm as my first shift. I can't work that shift...and it wasn't one of the options when I listed my availability. I'm hopeful that they will select me for another shift. Apparently, they notify you one shift at a time. Cross your fingers that I still get to volunteer. I have my own tools and I'm not afraid to work in cold weather. What more could they ask for?
Unfortunately, we are expecting an "arctic blast" here in the greater Houston area so the Habitat for Humanity build has been postponed until the end of the month. Extreme Makeover is still on - rain, sleet, or snow. Maybe I'll get to volunteer with both.
On another note, I just found out that Jeremy has never seen Breakfast Club or Pretty in Pink. Unreal. This situation must be remedied soon.
