eek!

there's a really big, flying, stinnging bug in the lamp a few feet away from me....we've been at odds all day and i thought it would be killed by now by the other people who live here (i don't do bugs...or spiders...or anything else like that).....and now i hear its hugeness and buzzing around so close.....not a fan!

in other news, i really was hoping for the chance to go read somewhere today, but alas, it didn't happen....i tried so hard (ok, well, i could've tried a little harder, i guess). i'll try again tomorrow to fit it in between a clothing outreach and a small group (finally, a small group.....i've felt the need for one for awhile....i hope this one will work out!).

i can't believe it's july. time flies.

i watched definitely, maybe and charlie bartlett recently. definitely, maybe was cute. everything i expected it to be. absolutely a chick flick, and this one actually had a good twist to it, i thought. they approached the stereotypical chick flick plot line in a unique way. good entertainment. charlie bartlett was interesting. i saw the preview for it before watching 27 dresses one day and it looked good, so i rented it when i saw it in blockbuster. surprisingly good, yet also a little sad. it's a movie about a kid who gets kicked out of private school, so his mom sends him to public school. he gets beat up some and then decides to work with the bully to make some money. he becomes the "psychologist" at the school (his office is the boys bathroom)-- listening to the kids' problems, talking to them, repeating the stories to professionals, getting prescriptions and then selling them to the other kids. throughout this whole process is actually a good story about human interaction, complicated relationships and life in general. if you haven't seen it, i recommend it (but beware the r rating....lots of language and drugs).

i love frosted flakes. i'll leave you with that.

:)
goodnight, friends

A New Post

Y'all. I have been starting and stopping, erasing and re-writing, thinking and planning, and starting and stopping again for this post. I haven't posted since the beginning of December, and that was only a list of things I had to do for finals. Hardly note-worthy. Before that, I hadn't posted since September. Which, upon reflection, was also only a "here's what has happened in the last several weeks" post....since I hadn't updated since MAY. Clearly I'm very good at keeping up with this little blog. Probably because I'm fairly certain the only people who read this are also those that I actually update on the phone... Also, I think I've been avoiding writing anything serious for awhile because I didn't really want to think about it in such a way that would lead to a post. "It" being any number of things I've been thinking about for the last 6 months or so. Likely, another reason for this is because there are so many things ...

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...

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else.  "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...
