One of those days...

Everyone has those days...the ones where you wish you didn't have to wake up in the morning. The ones where you go through the entire day and feel like you never quite catch up. The ones where you feel like you are running on half speed the entire time and you can't switch into high gear. Yep today was one of those days.

Dad and I ran this morning...and I ran really slow today, and I couldn't seem to speed up for anything. I went to work at 11:15 and I just couldn't quite seem to snap out of it. I came home and tried to start a sewing project, and everything seemed to be going wrong, so I took a 15 minute nap, had some coffee, and went back to work.

Work tonight was better. My paycheck is going to be really nice this time, and I finally seemed to be getting with the program tonight. And then I looked at the clock and it was only 6:00. We hadn't even seated the second round people and I was ready to be done. Although the night seemed to drag on, it was fun.

Now I'm just waiting to be skyped in for L's gig tonight at PoHo. It will be great to hear her for a little while. And then I'm going to hang with Jesus some more and go to bed.

Today has also been one of those days when I have just really wanted a boy in my life. I'm not sure exactly why. Today isn't really any different than any other day, but this is just one of those things that comes and goes with me as quick as a flash. One minute I'm perfectly happy and the next I want a boy and the next I'm back to being fine again. I am such a mystery to myself. I'm so glad that God has me all figured out.

I have been getting caught up on my reading the last couple of days. I finished two books, and I'm starting two more, but it's nice to have my book pile shrink...even if it's just momentarily. I have this dream that I will one day finish all the books in my book pile...that dream has yet to be realized.

I think that's all for now...peace!

    Hope you're enjoying Lee Ellen. She's pretty fab. I totally had a few of those days back to back earlier this week and I was a wreck... this song always reminds me of days like that...

    okay... it won't let me post a link.

    The song is "Can't Get It Right Today" by Joe Purdy.

    Listen to it... it rocks.

I'm listening to Pandora right now, and the song that is on is Love Song . I'm not sure what exactly that has to do with my life at the moment, but thought I would share it with you all. In fact, I feel rather at a loss as to what I should say as I sit here eating sweet potatoes. I had a lovely run with my roommate, B, today. We both decided that it is much more fun to run with someone than to run outside alone...not to mention smarter as our neighborhood isn't the greatest. Running feels so awesome now. I am getting new running shoes tomorrow, and I'm really excited about them. The lady at the store let me go out on the sidewalk and run back and forth to test them out when I went today to look, and they just felt really amazing. Switching Subjects... I have never really had many guy friends. I'm not sure why. I think part of it had to do with the fact that for a while I was really scared of men in general. Then I went through a men disliking period (I refuse to say

learning to savor

I was asked today if money wasn't an object, if I didn't have to work, if I could do anything in the world, live anywhere in the world, what would I do? I wanted to give her a thoughtful answer, a truthful answer, so I thought about it. If I could do anything what would I do? My heart leapt within me at the thought. It's one of those rare opportunities where you just allow yourself to dream for a minute of a perfect world. What would that world look like? I knew within myself what I would do, and I did my best to express it to this lady. I would have a house on the beach. It would be a safe place, a resting place, a refuge. It would be open to anyone who wanted to come. I would have tea every afternoon with my friends. I would cook and bake. I would work in my garden in the backyard. I would spend hours in communion with my Beloved. I would take walks on the beach, watching the sunset. I would sit on my front porch and soak up the day and night. I would savor life, and I wo

I say Hi!

I have discovered the secret to avoiding awkward situations... things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Think about it. We take our cues from the people around us. If someone else is trying to make you feel awkward, and you just ignore it and go on with life...then they will stop. I was in a situation tonight that could have been awkward, if I had made it that way, but I choose not to. As a result I ended up having a great conversation and was very encouraged and uplifted from it. Anyway...this is going to be short because it has been a very long day and I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow...so tomorrow is going to be a very long day. We finally covered Philippians 3 in Bible Study tonight...so excited to move on. Also, I am greatly enjoying playing chess with a good friend...we are having about a weekly match up. Good times!! I'm getting better, so we'll see if I'm able to eventually pull off a win. Funny how God grants little desires of our hearts. I always k
