St. Patty's Day Greens

I think every day of the year you can have the blues...except today...when you can only have the greens. Well, I had them (whatever you want to call them), and now they are (thankfully) diminishing. I need to see the sun...to bask in its glorious splendor...to feel its delicate Spring warmth upon my face...to get some vitamin D...to chase away the blues...I mean...greens.

Tomorrow's promise of 60 and sunny is creating great excitement...and as much as I hate to awaken earlier than I have to...I look forward to the return of bright light through my window early in the morning. Please Sun, show us your shining face!!

It has been universally decided (and by universally, I mean several friends and I) that if the sun does not appear tomorrow Mother Nature will be shanked--the end.

Anyway...today was a (mostly) chill day. I got to read a lot which is good because my library book is due back on Sunday, and I really want to finish it before I have to take it back. I also had some encouragement from my advisor on my senior project that I do actually have something I can work with.

People were irritating me today, though, and my usual Wednesday buffer was not present, so I felt like I was slowly going insane...you spend enough time around crazy people, and I'm convinced you will be crazy yourself.

But fortunately my day was saved. I thank God for friends who can always make even the lousiest of days better. We listened to LES on YouTube, then some Adele, then some 4 Floors Up. Then we explored PeopleofWalMart.com. Then we read some a-mazing listings off of Best of Craigslist. By the time we left PoHo, we were rolling on the floor in stiches...giddy and giggliy. Thanks, K. Oh, and $3,275. And I get to punch you in the face.

All that to say...at the end of St. Patty's Day my greens are all gone away...and the few that aren't will be with a good night's sleep and the sun's appearance tomorrow...because the Sun will come up tomorrow. (Yes, I just had an Annie moment).

Peace out yo!

P.S. I used to think that musicals weren't true to life...entertaining, yes, true to live, no. Then I met the crew (part deux) and I discovered that yes, people do in fact randomly burst into song and dance in real life. Who'd have thunk it?!

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
