My two year journey has come to an end.
I have passed the class and have been commissioned to my region.
I have six months of internship with a seasoned spiritual assistant.
I have been to the meeting with them already and the people are great.
Can’t wait to get started.
I received my first Bibbidi box a bit ago. It was a good box and everything in the box I really liked. I subscribed to the fantasy box that was 60.00 dollars a month.
I received four things. The first think i saw was a t shirt. It was a Donald Duck t-shirt with him yelling and it’s a fab five item so I loved it, and wore it the next day to work. After that I saw a Mickey Tervis tumbler. It was metal with little mickey’s on them and it was great. I already cleaned and used it. I then got a deck of cards and I looked closer and they are the Empire Strikes Back Star wars cards. Love Star wars and my favorite is Empire Strikes Back. the last thing was the smallest and least expensive, a key chain. I immediately thought meh but then I looked and it was a Wilderness lodge key chain. it looks like a totem pole with Mickey, Donald, Goofy and a bear.
I love that resort so it made me happy. Plus I needed a key chain. I checked the spoiler sheet and I noticed my that the price of everything in the box came to around 73 dollars. Not bad for my first box. I am a Bibbidi box fan and upgraded my box a bit so I get more cool stuff. I will also put stuff on my wish list.
Opening the box and see everything in it was fun and made my day a little more magical. It will be at least 4-5 years till i can go to Disney World again. So even though I can’t go, a little bit of Disney comes home anyway.
Hello Everyone. I have started a new Disney subscription box.
It’s called Bibbidi Boxes. I have done two Disney themed boxes previously.
First was Mickey monthly and then Main Street Mail quarterly subscription.
Mickey Monthly was OK. It gave some Disney Park items but you can’t tailor it to your tastes. Usually 3-4 items come in the box and 1 item i would really like.
The first month was a great Dumbo mug. After two months i quit because it wasn’t worth the money. Then i just got the summer Main Street Mail and you can’t tailor that one either. I got two things i like a stitch hat and a Disney pin.
I am a pin collector and have small addiction to them.
Bibbidi Boxes you can tailor them to yourself. There is a big questionnaire you fill out that has what you like. Then there is also a wishlist. If you like something on the wishlist you may get it on a box in the future. Being a guy it’s not easy when buying these boxes. Many are meant for women and that’s great but I don’t need any purses or women’s loungefly backpacks. But that’s not a problem. I just wrote in the questionnaire that i don’t want any girly stuff.
I am hoping it will do much better than the others. I get my first box next week and I can’t wait. I am very excited and will let you know what happens.
Have a magical day.
The first anniversary of the blog happened at the beginning of the month.
It has been fun. But with the Covid19 pandemic and work being busy because of it. I have not had as much time to put to it.
I am hoping to change that. I hope to have a blog entry 2-3 times a week starting in August. I will be thinking of ideas on weekends. I usually rest and netflix and chill all weekend. Here is hoping Covid19 vaccine comes soon. Then we can all get back to normal. Just know that God loves you even if you don’t think you are worthy.
Hello Everyone.
I am starting a podcast soon. I have it all setup, I just have to record and edit.
The first episode will just be a simple intro of myself and the blog, which has been out of mind the last few months. I have been so busy at work, i don’t have time and energy to do anything else. Usually the summer is our down time.
But because of the pandemic everyone is stuck at home buying things at the place I work at. I work at a place that does 95% of our business online.
So we have had an unprecedented number of orders we all have to fulfill.
I am a graphic designer but since the business is tiny everyone pulls orders, even the owners. So I walk between 5-10 miles a day. More on the beginning of the week.
I don’t have a very good voice but I will try anyway. I hope to have the first episode done by August 3rd. I will be uploading it to the usual places you get podcasts. So have a great day and hope you stay safe and be healthy.
This virus is still going, and they are saying we will have another peak so it’s not done yet. I believe it won’t go away for 2-3 years. It will take at least that long to make a flu shot for it.
I don’t have the most exciting life. I am a home body and always thought a bit of a hermit. Well now all i want to do is go out. I am both an introvert and shy.
So I am not good with people I don’t know. But I love hanging out with my family and friends. My friend and I don’t see each other as much as we used to. Since our work schedule is different. But we get together about once a month or so.
We are not exciting, we are just going to the movies and going out to eat.
And of course I try and go play pathfinder on Saturdays, and hang out at the gaming goat.
Everything is closed or is just doing drive thru or curb side pick up.
The only place I go right now is work and the grocery store on Monday to pick shop for my lunch at work. So my unexciting life now seems rather exciting right now. I really missed hanging out with my family also. Easter was done by zoom.
At least we could all see each other. My sister, niece and I had grand plans this summer to do road side attractions in Minnesota and Wisconsin. That is gone now. My grand plan of hanging with my dad at car shows and such is not happening. But since I live with my parents I see them all the time. Just not doing the stuff I want. I hope it gets better soon. At least governor Walz is taking this seriously and doing well. We are doing shelter at home.
Many places are not doing as well and at least we have the Mayo and University of Minnesota. They are doing a great job with this. I hope I can safely go out and do what I usually do soon. I am getting cabin fever.
Hello Everyone.
Well my business has been deemed essential, and in that I have been deemed essential. And most of our business is online. Which means all the people stuck home want something to do and They are buying our stuff to do. Which is good for business but bad for me. I am walking about 5-8 miles a day picking orders and after walking eight hours I am tired. I go home, eat and go to sleep while watching TV.
But at least I have a job and am getting paid.
I am feeling OK and don’t seem to be getting sick. But I don’t go anywhere except getting gas and food and that’s it.
I hope the corona virus is over soon. To many people are getting sick.
When this is over I will go out and party. Which for me is going to play pathfinder with a few people at a Gaming Goat.
I hope you are all safe and healthy. We will get through this.
God bless and have fun.
Hello everyone.
Well it’s the big corona virus outbreak blog.
Why is everyone buying toilet paper?
I understand hand sanitizer and cleaning stuff.
My father and I went to the store and didn’t see much.
Luckily he kept looking because he did find some and were OK for a week or so.
I didn’t go to mass last Sunday because I have an underlying condition and have taken steroids, which has hampered my immune system.
So I watched mass on TV on EWTN and did it at the same time as my usual mass and knelt and such. All the programs at church have been canceled and I miss them already. I am going to a Prayer class during lent and a mens Thursday morning mass before work and to hear Father talk. It’s one of the favorite times of my week, and also my favorite mass too. Small between 50-100 guys in our chapel.
My Franciscan meetings have all been canceled. I will miss that the most. Now is when I need my Franciscan brothers and sisters the most. I will have to email and call them to keep in contact.
I hope you will all be OK and stay safe and healthy.
God bless us all and keep us safe.
Hello All.
Right before lent started I was thinking what I wanted to give up.
I usually do chocolate, pop, chips or something.
This year I am giving up time, or at least trying to.
I am trying to find more time for God.
Every morning I have a alarm five minutes after my wake up alarm to get me to pray. And another alarm at nine pm to remind me to read the bible or some other religious book and then pray.
Also I am trying to leave for work early and go to adoration if only just for 5-10 minutes before work. Luckily there is a great little Catholic church about 3 miles from work and it’s on the way also.
As I said in my previous post I am taking a prayer class at church and it’s fun and I am learning a lot. I am hoping to get closer to God this Lent. I will let you know how I am doing next week. Here hoping I am doing everything and not forgetting. God Bless.
Hello All.
My church has started prayer classes or maybe it’s more like a book study or something. We are doing prayer classes for lent.
We are reading Time for God by Jacques Philippe. It’s a book teaches you to pray. Our priest is doing classes for about an hour and a half, every Monday during lent. I am doing this to get better at prayer and to do something during lent to help me grow closer to God.
I will try and put somethings that were in the book and maybe something our priest is doing to help us. In the first meeting is when we got our books and he just told us intro things to help us and just to encourage us to pray more. Even if we are broken come to him and he wants to help us. Maybe Tomorrow i will add to this somethings that were in the hand out we were given. Some things from the book and from father and from the catechism. I hope to learn a lot from these classes and am excited for next Monday. God bless and know that God loves you.
