I can smell the pores in my face reeking of coffee. Gingerbread soy lattes are my new favorite right now. I love that the change in seasons brings special flavors.

Yesterday was long, weird and overall okay. My roomates brought me dinner. Then BJo cleaned up my stuff while I finished two projects. She even made my bed!! I felt so loved. It was nice and needed. And I found out that I don't have cancer. But I guess I already knew that deep down (thanks for the peace You give).

My biggest bro. is getting married in two weeks. He's going to change his last name to her's. I guess thats okay since our last name doesn't really mean anything to us but her's does to her. In three weeks my second biggest brother is graduating college...the first generation college student. I'm so proud of him. My best friend is going to Cuba to study abroad next semester. I'm a little jealous, but in a good way.

Sometimes I really want a puppy or kitten or a bunny rabit. But then I'm glad I don't have the responsibility.

Last night I met someone who asked me how I was and didn't want a superficial answer. It was energizing to come in contact with someone who also wants to move past meaningless interactions, even with strangers. I hope he comes in more often, I like real people. Tonight I met two of his friends, I liked them too. Such lovely girls...

For once I'm trying to be just me. I don't want to wear a mask or be who I think you want me to be. I'm trying to be how I was created. And its liberating. And its scary. And its good.

getting back into blogging?

I remember easy bake ovens. The just-add-water cake mix was disguisting. But Granny would always let me use some of her cake or brownie mix in my little cake pan. I miss Fanny (as I use to call her). And the way she always makes lemonade with the little packets and cutting up real lemons to put in it...mmmmm....

Daddy, come get me. I want you to catch me again....I tagged you, you're it...Daddy, play with me. I want you to touch me again. Hold the purity in me, everytime you touch me. Touch me again. -Jason Upton

Well sung, Jason. Diddo for me, Daddy.

One day I hope to marry a man with a worshiper's heart similiar to that of Jason Upton. I had a crush on him last summer just by listening to his music (I had no idea what he looks like). I liked him just because of his heart--probably the most noble crush of my life. That little crush fled once I found out he is married. It wasn't a real crush anyway...

I wanted to get so much done today. Turns out election day didn't prove as productive as I'd hoped. But I did rest, it was needed. Dan Knott speaks of a Sabbath rest that the Lord gives us believers all the time. I like that.

I'm blessed to live with such amazing girls.

Beloved, speak my name.

boom-take back the beat

Tonight work was very hard. And then I got a fever so I felt bad and was extra sensitive emotionally. I almost quit my job. I got a raise in instead (praise Him).

I came in the door and saw a pizza box sitting on the lap top. I took it as a sign that I should sit down, eat a cold sausage slice, and surf the world wide web. So here I am...chomp...and blogging...chomp.

I'm learning to handle feeling lonely. We all feel that was sometimes, its natural. So i'm just learning to cope.

"hot-n-ready"...gotta love little Caesars...When I was 4 I go with my dad into work. He was a manager at a Little Caesars. He'd let me help him make a pizza for us to eat before my mom picked me up to go with her to her college classes. So really, I have been going to college for a long time..geeze.

I think I'm getting better at learning people's names. Its something I've always been so bad at but I've been working on it. Its nice to be able to say "oh yeah, and you're Kristen" after a girl says "You're Kayla, right? We worked together for a bit this summer. "

Its nice to have security. Its nice to be at a point where I'm secure with myself (for the most part). Its nice to sleep. I think I'll go do that. My left quad is soar from driving stick. A two hour drive turned into four is not my idea of a good time. But i treated myself to Arby's (and felt a little sick afterwards) so its all good. Sometimes you just gotta have horsey sauce on some roast beef...at least every 6 years or so.
