4:30 AM---we have to stop meeting like this.

Twice since Spring Break started I have been awake to see 4:30 AM. And then I haven't slept much...I think this needs to change. Don't get me wrong. It was totally worth it both times, but my body is beginning to think I am going insane...and my brain is starting to agree.

At least tonight I should get to bed at a semi-decent hour. I am excited to be making my first full meal out of Mastering the Art of French Cooking tonight. I will be making swiss cheese quiche, chicken breasts with fragrant veggies and cream, and cherry flan for dessert. It should be very fun because I will be enjoying the lovely company of L and K. Then we are going to watch the season finale of White Collar.

Then I'm going to come home and crash.

I have gotten a few things done today, though. I am doing laundry...and I have done a little cleaning...and I made a list of everything I have to do...and I had quiet time...and I showered...and I had breakfast with friends at 6 this morning...

I kind of feel like this is a repeat of Spring Break last year except with different people. Late nights, good times, lots of bonding, seeing each other every day, and withdrawal from not being together. A friend asked last night (or early this morning rather) why we were hanging out with them. Let me explain: there is a couple year age difference between me and most of them. My friend didn't understand why I would want to hang out with them because of this.

The question made me stop and think seriously about it for a minute. Why do I hang out with the people that I hang out with? I'm not sure I have a complete answer to that...because well, let's face it, I haven't really thought about it when my brain was completely coherent and functioning.

I think part of the reason is that I enjoy their company. They are fun people who are always looking for something fun to do. They also have factors in common with me. We all go to the same coffeeshop, we enjoy similar interests. And they are the kind of people that you can stay up talking to until 4:30 in the morning.

Something about the person in particular who asked me that is that we are both social people. I love being around social people because I am a social person. I firmly believe that I have to marry a social person because I am a social person.

Well, my brain is too tired to keep thinking about all of this.

I have been reading in Philippians 3 for several days, and I think it is one of my favorite passages of scripture. It challenges me and encourages me every single time I read it. That's another blog post, though.

Peace out yo!

Called Beauty

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
