weekends!

last night, i realized that i had a really great weekend....but it was mostly unproductive.
which can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it.

friday night i met with the ladies i'll be living with in a couple of weeks to straighten out some apartment/living stuff. and then i read a book.

saturday i actually did start my laundry and got ready to start the long process of cleaning the apt to move out. but then i started reading again. and i met kristina for coffee. and flipped through my new garden and gun. and went to barnes and noble (where i found 2 awesome cupcake books, a book on canning and preserving, and several other titles to look up!). and then i went to starbucks for a couple of hours before coming home and falling asleep while reading again.

sunday i was back at church for the first time in a couple of weeks and then headed to fast for the kids' stuff. and then it rained out the plans i had to go to the jazz and blues festival in fed hill, so we went and saw robin hood instead (which is a really good movie. it's not overly violent or action-ized, so i could enjoy it! and they cast everyone very well). then we went to supper and played phase 10.

i was a fun weekend, but things i really needed to do that i didn't: go grocery shopping. finish end of the year stuff for my kids at the j. start cleaning our apt and packing it up. mail some things.

but now the weekend is over, and my last week with this class of kids at the j is beginning. they're all moving onto big kid camps for the summer and then to kindergarten next year. i've had these kids for almost 2 years now. last year when they switched classes for the summer, i cried. the entire first day of camp. cried. and then i got them back this year, which has been awesome! but now we're about to separate again and i'm not sure what i will do.

ah well. it will be a good week. a great week.
happy monday!

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,...

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...

A Break to Listen

If you aren’t aware, there’s a bit of the unknown in my life right now.   Because of this place I’m in – out of necessity, really – I’ve been asking myself (and God) a lot of questions about purposes, dreams, places, and who I am. That last one seems to be cropping up a lot lately. And it is that question which has brought me here today. Last week I was talking with a friend about my recent trip to Chicago. Just to be clear, here’s how that trip happened: I’m in a Facebook group with a bunch of women from all over the country. One of them – who I had never met – posted about this conference (the Justice Conference) her organization was taking a group of women to, and there were some open spots. I emailed her, said yes, and booked a plane to Chicago…where I was picked up by another girl driving in from Michigan and then spent the weekend learning and loving and adventuring with 9 other women from different states whom I had also never met before. When I was leaving and my p...
