Beautiful Memorial day. I spent it hiking and doing the excellent "family time" thing. It was awesome. then back to work today. i made pizza for dinner tonite. Then i set a small building on fire and watched it burn for the fun of it.

I get so frustrated with myself, one step forward, two steps back.
I want to grow in so many areas.
There's so much I lack.
I want to forget about me.
I realize how much I need to strive to set a better example.

A Few Thumbs and an Addenendum.
Thumbs up: Putting money in the bank and taking a step toward "taking care of myself."
Thumbs down: Everyone's goooone. Long Gone. Gone like a freight train, gone like yesterday. Gone like a soldier in the civil war, baby.
Two Thumbs up: HE comes home tomorrow. I made him a pie, and I promised not to go see star wars w/o him. Lucky guy, huh?
Thumbs down: Mr. Ed. I just heard that show on TV. No.
Thumbs up: I'm looking forward to school. I think this swings in my favor.
Thumbs Up: The season finale of Gilimore Girls. Good twist.
Thumbs down: I have to wait however many months to find out what happens in Gilmore Girls.
****Addenendum
There is a "Bill the Tech guy" in our office. He's in his fifties, kinda funny, has pretty corny jokes, and continues to wear his glasses even though one of the earpieces is missing. This gives him a goofy look, b/c his glasses are just hanging there, from one side. But yesterday he asked me about my family and where I go to church. When he found out I was a member of the church of Christ, he had lots of questions. He told me he really agreed w/ the stuff I said. I invited him to come to services and he said he might. As he was leaving, he turned around and said, "Whenever you date a boy, you should make sure he shares the same faith as you, you know."
Sometimes, even people of the world are wise.

I didn't think i I would say it yet. I wasn't planning on saying it a week and a half after i finished my last final. And I definately didn't plan on saying it on a Monday. But I'm ready for school to start back this fall.
Mainly, my desire is rooted in the fact that everyone has left for the summer. One of my best friends called me today to tell me she flew a plane over the Rockies. Then she asked "What'd you do today?" Ack. I thought about the sermon yesterday from Eccl. about contentment and trusting in God...(I'm not being fecious, I really did). A song came on that was one of my friend's, ah who is half-way across the country. Memories of good times...adventures...
I know I'm weird. I've picked a pretty low-key, what some have termed "boring," "career" choice. Those are in quotation marks because it's not boring to me, and I'm not planning on turning it into a career and letting it turn me into a career-woman. But I have a goal to work for, and today, as I was doing a very dull thing, life looked pretty beautiful.
Because you see, the thing I'm working towards is one of the most beautiful things know to mankind, and maybe, just maybe, if I don't ever even see the Rockies, I'll be ok.

yes. school is done, and i am happy. Happily working away, but loving my job, so all is good.
I have big plans for the summer,including teaching bible class! I'm so excited and fired up.
Everyone should see me snaping my fingers and "dancing" to my salsa music as i'm laying here on my couch with the laptop on my knees. I know it's funny. Especially since I have my headphones on and no one else can hear the music. You should have a funny picture in your head now.
sounds like a full day...:)
Sounds awesome fun!! :D I'm interested about the small building thing, though ;)
