so

i said i would post and i'm doing it. however, i can't decide what to write about. the last few days i've had a lot on my mind...things i've said, "hey, i should write about that" or simply things that are happening through living daily life....however, i've lacked the energy or will to actually write anything. and because that energy is still lacking, i'm not sure how much of it will get posted here tonight.
first, i can't believe uga vi is now gone. heart failure. he was a wonderful bulldog and will be missed....but perhaps his offspring will bring good luck as his father did.
second, i had a very relaxing day today. i haven't gone to church in the morning on sundays in a few weeks because i've been at genesis (and i'm not too keen on hearing the same thing twice in one day, no matter how differently it's presented) and i must say that i really enjoy sunday mornings. while i enjoy genesis, i love being connected to the rest of the church. it's a chance to learn and worship with friends of all ages. there's just something about sunday mornings that i miss sometimes. after church, i literally came home, ate lunch, fell asleep while watching a little gilmore and stayed asleep for the rest of the day (the lake wore me out....). until reunion, that is, where we learned about why bad things happen to good people/ why does a good God let bad things happen (great job James, by the way....if you weren't there, you should have been). following reunion, we headed to stevi b's (yum....grease and cheese :)) and then a little starbucks.
third, i spent a good deal of time on itunes recently....i enjoy looking through the music....like a library except with music and not books!......their recommendations for me based on songs i own or have purchased are wonderful, hilarious, ridiculous and fun....
fourth, i have loved this song lately, and i'll leave you with it....it was on the Prince Caspian soundtrack (go figure...)....look it up and listen to it....it's good (and i don't normally like switchfoot, but i don't think it really sounds like a lot of their other stuff)......This is Home, by Switchfoot....
I've got my memories
They're always inside of me
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
I believe now
I've come too far
No I can't go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place
I've never known

This is home
Now I'm finally
Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching
For a place of my own
Now I've found it
Maybe this is home
Yeah, this is home

Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart
Set on what happens next
I got my eyes wide
It's not over yet
We are miracles
And we're not alone

And now after all my searching
After all my questions
I'm gonna call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see the sunset
I'm gonna call it home

Now I know
Yeah, this is home
I've come too far
Now I won't go back
This is home

:).....maybe i'll explain later why i like it so much at the moment......for now, though, sweet dreams.

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

motivation!

i think you should know that as i was typing the title to this post, i was singing it to a made up tune in my head... i have two papers due next week. one massive one and one that won't be so difficult. this means however, that i have less than a week to finish both of them and that means that i cannot spend any time doing anything other than work, school, or writing/researching. but. i've developed this "fall break is almost here, i don't want to do anything important right now" mentality. which is curious since i'll be doing school stuff all during fall break simply to catch up and then get ahead a little. so tonight, as i am about to get started on my work, i made a "motivation sheet!" that i can look at when i want to give up: using that verse might be a bit of a stretch, since i doubt the writer was thinking about writing 20 pg papers when he said it, but it seemed to fit. it includes baking and crafting and spending time with people, of cours...

pigeon love

yesterday, i was walking to my car and heard a pigeon. this is not especially unusual because there are pigeons all over the place, their presence just outside my house encouraged by the bird feeder hanging from one of the trees. however, this pigeon caught my attention because it was loud, close and sounded strange. i looked down and saw this pigeon essentially pacing back and forth by the wheels of a car.... where his pigeon friend had been the wheel's unfortunate victim and was no longer with us.  y'all... the pigeon was mourning the loss of his friend. it was so sad and sweet and touching.  i honestly wish i had had a camera to capture the moment. but it got me thinking. about friends, family, community, etc. being missed. don't we all want to be missed and mourned like the poor pigeon was? the kind of people that make the world, our communities, our families, and our friendships better because we are a part of them? and isn't that wh...
