minus the HW thing...

I get too tired to write most days, it's hard for me to let the leash off my thoughts. I'm working on a healthy balance though.

Minus the fact that I didn't get any homework done, today was a pretty fun day. Had breakfast with friends at J & L's, small group, Bobby hangout day, Jackie's track meet, Toy Story 3 (tears and snotty noses... mostly Bobby) and now I'm about to do some reading before bed. It's good to have a balanced day.

My goal for this week, work really hard on homework so I can relax for the weekends. And start running more. I'm seriously going to have to crawl the Hodson Half if I don't start jumping on my pony!

"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
Psalm 46:10

Nesting

Today I thought about how I wish I had a mac.
Then I thought about the steps I want to take before getting a mac, like getting one of those protective coverings and putting it on my dell for now.
Then I started comparing it to a mother hen nesting for her little chicks.
Then I felt really dumb for being so materialistic and wanting to nest for a computer.
So I kept reading my homework and moved on.
I'm excited about my classes this semester.
All for now.

2011 Goals

"Resolution" = too overwhelming of a word for me, so I'm changing it to "Goals."

2011 Goals
1. Eat more fruit.
2. Write more letters.
3. Be more organized.
4. Learn to take intentional alone time.
5. Don't waste money.
6. Be consistent with working out.
7. Spend more time outside.
8. Learn to live 1 Peter 4.
9. Clean out my material goods.
10. Grab life by the throat 6 days a week and learn to sabbath when its time (aka don't waste a good story on laziness).

...I'm aloud to amend these when needed, but thats the jist.

School starts tomorrow.

Barnes

Oh Barnes, I wish i had one of you near by in Marion. The smell of books, the mocha, the two old ladies talk crap about all the stuff they don't like about their lives... can i just talk about that for a second... I try not to eves drop, but i think a minute ago they were talking about grandkids and how they "come in for breaks, see who they want to see and go back to school." That's sad. I try to make an effort to see my grandparents when i'm home. I hope they don't think that about me... I should be more intentional about that.
So i'm sitting at Barnes and Noble, kind of hoping that the people near the power strip will leave soon cause my cord is too short and i don't want to be a fire hazard, but my house doesn't have internet, so i'm kind of desperado.
I had a thought on the drive over here that i wanted to talk about and now i don't remember it. Maybe if i get more power i'll bring it back up.
Duces.
