ACE Eddie Awards

One good thing about being enrolled in the Saddleback Film 1 class is the info on the all the awards ceremonies taking place this time of year. One that I am very excited about is the ACE Eddie Awards. This event features the editors of the Academy Award nominated films of this year. They will showcase some clips, and explain how they achieved the editing style. Jono and I will be attending this seminar on saturday. SO excited.

Jono and his finagling

On our most recent visit to Las vegas, whilst making our way back to our hotel at 2am, Jono managed to get himself a free waterbed massage. I've never been too keen on these, since it seems like the most unrelaxing place to have a massage. Usually these machines are stationed in the middle of busy walkways in Malls, or, like this one, in a casino. So, I sat by as Jono enjoyed his freebie. What a finagler! Afterwards he said: "It was ok."

A List

So, a few random things that have popped into my head that I'd like to do/ see happen in 2009:

1. Go snowboarding

2. Do the Voice Over class offered at Saddleback

3. Tell Charlie he's "outtaline"

4. See my High School girls make wise decisions, ones that count for God

5. Travel up the West Coast to Vancouver BC

6. Sit outside on our patio more

7. Buy a cat power album - have been enjoying her music very much of late

8. Cook at home more

9. Have more patience with Pico

10. Drink more water

11. Exercise more

12. Blog more

13. Worry less

14. Give more. One can always be challenged in your generosity

15. Be a videographer at a wedding

This list is ever expanding. Sometimes it helps writing things down in lists. I am most definitely a "list" person. Something about writing a list calms me down.  For instance, on days when I have to go to Trader Joe's (which, btw, I heard confirmation this week that the building opposite Lowe's in Aliso Viejo IS a Trader Joe's!), Ralphs, Target, Henry's and Block Buster, I write a list, ordering the day . It makes the tasks so much more manageable. 

Something on my list for this week is Wintercamp. Winter camp is next weekend. un.be.liev.a.ble. I love winter camp. And this year I am especially expectant of what God is going to do in the lives of those going. Right now we have such a large group going that we're struggling with transportation plans. Hopefully it all falls into place by next weekend - it always does.

Anyhoo... just thought I would share some of my lists with the blogosphere.

no time to write

However, As I was quickly trying to catch up on all friends in the realm of "blogosphere", I came upon this:

HowManyOfMe.com

There are 1 or fewer people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

And felt so compelled to tell everyone: THAT I AM THE ONLY SIMONE KNEPPER IN THE USA... that must count for something, right?
