Musical is over and Spring Break is next week. I very much immensely need it. I am planning to go to Key Largo with Mike Bacci, Georgia Colvin, David Bunting, and Dr. and Mrs. Walker. It should be alot of fun. Card playing and sailing and boating, and going to the beaching, and touring, and watching everyone else snorkle, and doing homework, and catching up on letters, and sleeping. Wonderful!

Yesterday, I started Pampered Chef. It is very exciting! It is definitely going to continue to keep me busy but I think it will be alot of fun. So if any of you are interested in hosting a party down here or having a catalog show from another state just let me know. :D

My family is planning to move into a new house next week. Poor mother does not wish to be in the moving process again and I don't blame her. It is very wearying.

Between admissions intern work and pampered chef stuff i think I talked on the phone for at least three hours. I didn't know my jobs would turn into so much phone work! I guess it's a good skill to have. It makes for interesting discussions but it is very challenging in some ways. I find being positive to be tricky sometimes. I find frowning and being pessimistic to be nicer and more comfortable but because others don't seem to have the same perception (fortunately) I must overcome!

I have an anatomy test tomorrow. =/

Today in chapel, Dr. McClister made a comment about how we often try to be different from the world while being the same as the world. I think it's easy for us to have mixed priorities and to think that we can still be a wonderful Christian while trying to appease the world and dip into both pools at once. Let's strive to be more focused on the godly attributes instead of finding joy in the world. The world does not bring joy, God does.

Amen to that last thought!

I cannot believe I did not recognize you in the play. I wish I'd known to look for you!! It did not even register that you'd mentioned it....I did not know we were going until Falcon Days...it was such a treat. The production was AMAZING.

by sallyanne at 03/04/10 10:41PM
I don't care much for talking on the phone. It's a little better if I can talk to a friend I haven't heard from in a while. :P

Good thought at the end.

Enjoy your weeks break from school.

by hoosierbybirth at 03/05/10 3:08PM
Have a nice break! Do well on your test, and thanks for sharing that last thought. =)

by sirtorin at 03/05/10 4:38PM
Thinking of Madam Guillotine! Sounds like you are very busy but happy! I love the videos that Lauren captured of the musical! Hope Key Largo is amazing!

by tweedledee at 03/09/10 9:48PM
I'm not sure you can squeeze all that into one week. :) Good luck on the business! I love PC products, but they haven't quite made it over here. (Maybe that's a good thing!)

by praguer at 03/12/10 5:53AM
Hi Brittany! I am sooooo glad we are moved! Too bad you couldnt have been here to help! :)

by _sylviaanne_ at 03/15/10 9:09PM
My dear Enigma. How I love you so! It is true, that the world does not value morbidness as you do, but you already know that. I treasure you just the same, even if you do love frowning faces and movies like Gladiator. =)

Time for an update

at 02/17/10 6:18PM

Well, now that its Spring 2010 I think its about time for a new post.
Facebook is taking over pleonast. It's the sad truth. =/
Life is busy and crazy for me. Spring semester finds me with many, many, many obligations, opportunities, and activities that I am staying very involved in. I am in the Spring Musical (The Scarlet Pimpernell!) and we are having our performances next weekend. It's going to be so morbid and so cool. I don't know how long it is going to take to fully get the music out of my head. I've song some songs nearly 50 times I'm sure and they are such catchy and thrilling lyrics/tunes.
This is my last semester at FC and then I will be all done with school. Wow. It's. Crazy. After that, I am planning to be home for the summer and Lordwilling will be getting married on August 2nd in Arizona and moving to New Mexico.
My family is all doing well. They are happily in Arizona, staying busy with school and the congregation, etc. Hopefully next month they will be moving into a new house in the same general area. (Yay for another move!)
I hope all are well. Maybe....haha.... I can update more frequently and convert some of my random facebook notions to pleonast as well.
Have a happy Wednesday everyone!
Brittany

This post amused me. "So morbid and so cool?" LOL. You use "Lordwilling" as a single word. LOL. Have fun!!! :-)

by engelishgentleman at 02/17/10 6:20PM
So glad to see this post! I've been missing you! I, too, find myself with so many things to do. Just this week I had four papers to either write or revise plus two tests and two pop quizes among sooo many other things. Hope your busy schedule will be good to you! =)

That's so exciting that you are in a play! I wish I could be there to see it! and I am still totally excited about your wedding! yay!

by gemma at 02/17/10 8:37PM
So glad for the update! I agree about facebook taking over. I'll try to update on here more often too! Love you and so excited for you!!

by thewifeofbud at 02/17/10 9:52PM
Good to hear from you! (I'm just a *little* jealous that you get to live in NM. I love it there. *wink*)

by cyber_space_cadet at 02/17/10 9:58PM
Boo, boo, boo Bookface ;-)

by octaveleaper at 02/18/10 12:48AM
I love The Scarlet Pimpernel. I just watched it today, actually. I have read the book a trillion times and now I've seen two movies. I think the old Jane Seymour one was my favorite as a child, but this BBC one was good, too. It did require a bit of forwarding, though...And, I really detest the storming of the Bastille (in history and movies). Really, it does nothing for me when it comes to empathy...little justice was served in that bloodbath.

My neice is getting married in August, too! Have a wonderful time preparing!

by sallyanne at 02/18/10 12:50AM
I LOVE the SP! Absolutely my favorite book and movie. My favorite is the Seymour version also. I didn't like Elizabeth Montgomery (I think that is her name.) in the BBC one. The musical was fun, too. I saw it while it toured in PA. Have a great time!

by praguer at 02/18/10 10:33AM
So good to hear from you. Ahhh... oh what I would give to come hear MADAM GUILLOTINE!!!!!!!!!! You will perform stunningly I am sure. I am so glad that you have this theatrical opportunity... I will never... never... never forget The Wreck of the Hesperas and your recitation! Have a wonderful semester!

by tweedledee at 02/18/10 12:05PM
Good to hear from you! =)

by sirtarin at 02/19/10 10:39AM
It's nice to hear from you after such an absence. =)
I concur.

by sirtorin at 02/19/10 4:40PM
Which one is better? Facebook or Pleonast? (Pleonast!)

by _sylviaanne_ at 02/21/10 1:19PM
I'm glad to hear that all is well but crazy busy for you. I was missing your updates! Stay with Pleo!!

Thoughts or comments on this quotation:

"'Man the toolmaker' is a misleading piece of flattery. 'Man the weapon-maker and skull-basher' might be a more accurate description, both of early man and twentieth-century man. Who knows whether modern man is going to use atomic power to save lives peaceably or to decimate the human race in war? And who knows whether early man's 'tools' saved more lives in time of peace than they destroyed in times of anger?" Alan Hayward

Something to think about I guess...

Rather pessimistic...but not without insight...it reminds me of Ecc. 7:29, and of the broader Biblical lesson that man can misuse any blessing God gives...

by engelishgentleman at 09/24/09 7:51AM
Missing you and I still love that picture of you and Luke. Love the ticker and *eeks!!! it makes me realize I better get planning on our trip.

by jaydon at 09/24/09 8:14AM
That IS thought provoking....

by cyber_space_cadet at 09/24/09 10:09AM
Hmmmm...

by sirtarin at 09/24/09 1:36PM
Definitely worth some thought....

by sirtorin at 09/24/09 9:13PM
I'll have to ditto his comment. Hmmmmm....

by eladea at 09/26/09 5:34PM
I miss you.

by _sylviaanne_ at 09/27/09 10:35PM
Sounds like something that should have been written by a woman... except I noticed the authors name is Alan...

by paradise_ray at 09/29/09 5:12PM
Hey Brittany, sorry I took so long to answer your question.

I got that post off of an email I got from a friend.

by ethantweedie14 at 10/07/09 10:40AM
We wage war to have peace because all people are too selfish to live in harmony. There will never be a fanciful Startrek world where everyone works togather for the good of human kind.

Tomorrow I have a massave anatomy test with between 1 and 2 hundred chemistry terms to remember. So, much like a couple of weeks ago when I had an anatomy quiz (having memorized between 1 and 2 hundred terms), I have to eat, sleep, and breath anatomy in every spare moment. In fact, I've had a few times where a latin anatomy body term would come to me before the "real" one. "No, its not my antebrachial its just my forearm." This is a frustrating practice but a very good concept. We need to have the bible so much on our minds that it comes to us before anything else does and lasts longer than anything else does.
And so:
"These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Deut. 6: 6-9.

" But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night." Ps. 1:2

"I meditate on your precepts
and consider your ways." Ps. 119:15

etc. etc. etc. This is a huge emphasis. So this week, try to meditate on the Lord and spiritual things and you'll be amazed at how much those things are the first things to come to your mind in situations where you need it to be that way.

And now back to my anatomy...

Best of luck with your test tomorrow!

by swiftblades at 09/17/09 8:01PM
Good point.

by engelishgentleman at 09/17/09 8:52PM
You've memorized 1 to 2 hundred terms!? Amazing!
I'm sure you'll do very well.
Love you!

by 7laughinghardmans at 09/17/09 9:08PM
Thanks for this reminder to always have God on our minds!! Love you and miss you bunches!

by heidiw at 09/17/09 9:20PM
Good thought. And good luck with your test!

by sirtarin at 09/18/09 12:28PM
Good point. How did your test go?

by sirtorin at 09/19/09 3:06PM
Good luck! I'm impressed.

by sallyanne at 09/20/09 12:16AM
The last part of your post reminded me of Phil.4:8.
Good luck with your test!

Hey Brittany! what's up?

by miss_lester at 09/04/09 4:23PM
When I was super busy, my life depended on my pocket calendar. I couldn't keep anything straight. Hope you have some form of one!

by praguer at 09/05/09 4:13AM
Fun fun! =)

by sirtarin at 09/08/09 10:52AM
Are you designing your own dress, or using a pattern?

by laurar209 at 09/09/09 12:40PM
I keep mixing up days of the week too. It's so exciting you're sowing your own dress!

by eladea at 09/09/09 4:42PM
Oh. My. Goodness. I hadn't been by your blog in a while. Wedding? Wow. Congratulations, again!!!

I love your profile pic and agree with all of your descriptions of school

by blondechick89 at 09/11/09 5:05PM
I see you recently spent some time with Annetta Key. I knew her and her husband years ago when Ken and I first married. They lived in KY at the time. Nice people.

by hoosierbybirth at 09/11/09 6:10PM
Wow, didn't even know you were proposed to! Congratulations! xD

by stranger_yet at 09/12/09 7:41PM
Brittany, I ADORE that picture.
Oh, Guess what? I made a skirt, by myself!

by _sylviaanne_ at 09/13/09 11:39AM
Rachael really wants to make your wedding dress.
