i have a cold. i wish there were decent reruns on tv on the weekends. i always feel that being sick is a waste of time. especially when i'm congested and can't get any reading done cause it gives me a headache. suck.
i miss my roommates! they are all either out of town or working. at least i have my horse. :)
tomorrow night i get to take adeline and kjirstin trick-or-treating. it should be fun. adeline, my short little friend, is going as a giraffe. tell me that isn't funny! i think kjirst is going as a puppy. a rolly-polly puppy if you ask me. :)

"we're drinking chocolate margaritas... ooh, gross! i mean chocolate martinis!" amanda's dad

I love frank, honest, unfake people. Thus, I love my roommate, Candace. Here is an excerpt from her blog:

"and for those that may not know, God is real, and engaging in fornication is also disrespectful to Him. if anyone cares about that. "

She was ranting about how the media and entertainment industry portrays virgins. I agree with her. It is pretty discouraging all in all. I wish virginity were common and being labeled as one was considered a badge of honor vs. an insult.
Just a thought I (we) had...

i love cocoa puffs and the united states postal service.

David Crowder Band and Chris Tomlin both have songs in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (in theaters Dec. 9th).
Sweet!
So do Jars of Clay, Delirious, and Rebecca St. James.
I mentioned the other two first to catch Matt's attention. :)

Third blog of 12 hours: fyi.

 


my aunt was in the background singing "I'm a lumberjack and that's okay!" Posted by Picasa

"I'd love to ride on the back of a sperm whale, among other things..."

The concerts tonight were terrific. Rock Kills Kid is my new favorite new band. Paramore was really good too. Candace got to meet the lead singer who's 16. It was one of her life goals i think. :) She is so little and tiny. She reminds me of my sister Alison.

Tomorrow is my last day as a one year old teacher at Handicare.


random quotes of the night from the trio of trouble:

- "I think that I have mayonnaise in my hair."
- "I'm not drying them off, moron. I'm cooling them off."
- "Let them have their roads."
- "I squashed my thing cause I thought it was trash. But now it's squashed.
- "She showed us her tacky sweater!"
- "I get it! I have a birth mark on my face, guys!"
- "Half jerk, half strawberry face!"

Burger King commercials are disturbing.

I've been re-reading the Chronicles of Narania lately. They are so good! They are probably the fiction that most consistently turns my mind to God. They thrill my Spirit and send tingles down my spine. Sigh... :) I LOVE THEM!!!

"Wouldn't it be dreadful if someday in our own world, at home, men started going wild inside, like the animals here, and still looked like men, so that you'd never know which were which?" -Lucy in Prince Caspian

Tonight Amanda and Candace and I are going to go see Paramore and Rock Kills Kids. I'm' excited. We had lunch with my grandparents today. I love my grandparents uber mucho. Erik and I get to have lunch with them on Sunday. Grandma's making me a vat of "orange stuff". Heck yes!!!
