I’ve hit one of those motivational lows that I come to sometimes in this writing journey. But this time I’m going to do something that I don’t normally do – write through it.

So, what have I been up to this week? Well, I got together with Master Firebreather and we worked on a video. She motivated me to get more involved with posting videos on youtube. Stay tuned for some wacky stuff. I am a filmmaker at heart and even studied it in college, but I nearly gave up on that passion after a well-meaning mentor in my life basically told me how ridiculous it was for a dedicated Christian to have a hope of making a difference in that area. I realize now how ridiculous HE was, but the seeds of doubt were planted and I’m still uprooting insecurity.

Last night was a much needed game night at the home of Snaps and DirectorB. Funniest thing happened though – Snaps was out taking photos at a wedding reception, so when I get there it’s a group of guys (B, Preacher, SirHoward, and Rockstar) all huddled around a game of Catan and little Prodigy in her bouncy seat. Ha! That kid is going to be able to beat us at Catan before she makes it to preschool. The whole thing reminded me of that movie – Three Men and a Baby (except there were four). Snaps eventually made it home, but I just remembered…Mr. Director, did you tell your wife about the cookie fiasco? I must know!

Today I spent some time with the nieces ColorP and CTape (you simply must check the cast tomorrow for THIS name explanation!) They worked an easter egg hunt today in the pouring rain, bless their hearts. And we made some cookies that were actually inspired by the aforementioned cookie fiasco.
