The Weekly Wrap-Up: March 4-8, 2019
Honestly, I feel like the most noteworthy bits of my week happened out of the office. But I'll let you judge for yourselves.
So, unlike last week, when I claimed there was no variety and then proceeded to disprove my hypothesis (well spotted, Lori), this week was actually entirely devoted to Spanish. All 12 groups of RVR have now been published, so I'm feeling the pressure to get NVI out. I'm trying to get it all checked and reviewed so that I can publish in one big batch. It makes sense in my head, but I keep questioning if I should publish as I go. But then I'm switching my brain between two very different tasks, and I don't generally like to do that. Thoughts?
I suppose this week we have talked a little bit about the word we picked for the year. Have I talked about that on here? I don't remember. It was in my newsletter. Anyway, we came up with a 'God word' for ECC for 2019. Apparently, this is a thing people do. I don't have a problem with it, per se. But no one has convinced me that it's a valid interpretation of exegesis.
Whatever.
Point is, we have a word for ECC. The word is 'balance.' So instead of picking something and talking about it for a week and then never mentioning it again (not that we ever do this), we wanted to make it something that carried some weight. So we've been chatting about what we can do to help people find more balance in their lives or even just define what that means. Fortunately, most of my contribution to this has been limited to nodding at ideas and proofing what other people are writing about it. But now I have to come up with a measurable goal for what I want to accomplish this year when it comes to balance.
As for my out of the office adventures, I was dog sitting this week. This is Lexi:
Lexi is an elkhound and still a bit of a puppy. She has no sense of personal space and likes to wake me up at odd hours of the night. Subsequently, I was quite tired Wednesday and Thursday. I actually went home early on Thursday and took a nap. My face was banging repeatedly against a wall, and that is not a good look for me.
That's about it, really. Oh! Totally forgot. I recorded a new radio ad this morning! It was a lot of fun, because we initially recorded it with one mindset and imagined setting, and then after we had recorded our lines, we started thinking about another concept using the same lines. So we re-recorded it with that in mind. I think the second concept will be much more fun, so when that is done, I will put a link somewhere on here. I got to be the skeptic AND the truth-bringer, so that was nice.
That's really it for me. I'm gonna go sleep for a while. Adios!
