we always want what we can’t have

…………..random note

 I hate speeches!!! I am taking a speech class and I dread talking in front of a class!!! I know it shouldn’t be a big deal and when its over it is never as bad as I make it out to be. But Still!!!

 I just thought I would share that with the blogging population…………….yes

Once

Loved this movie! The whole film was incredibly simple, sweet, and believable. However, I could have done without all the cussing.

I also enjoyed the soundtrack to the movie. Yet I realized that I needed to watch the movie first before I could actually appreciate the type of music on the soundtrack.

Baking in Jars!!

I saw this Idea on someone’s blog and me and Cindy gave it a shot a while ago. It was easy and fun, and not to mention amazingly cute!!! We made Blue berry muffins and brownies. And seriously who wouldn’t want a warm brownie cooked right into a cute little jar I mean seriously!! and brownies are my favorite! Anyways it was a wonderful experience and I recommend trying it. But make sure to not fill the jars more that halfway at maximum-as we found out with our brownies : )

 

Pondering

 So i am going back to work @ A&W next week and to tell the truth I am a little excited. I missed working there in a weird way, missed the people, comfort, knowing what to expect, and just working in general. I’ve had a lot on my mind lately…not sure why. 

 I have noticed a lot of stuff I do not like about myself lately and I find myself…….struggling….

 But I have faith that the Lord will work things out in my life for good. Everything has a reason. Everything has a purpose. I think I am just antsy for the Lord to reveal His will.

 

 However, in my random parade of thoughts running through my head I was remind of this part of the book in A Severe Mercy:

 How strange that we cannot love time. It spoils our loveliest moments. Nothing quite comes up to expectations because of it. We alone: animals, so far as we can see, are unaware of time, untroubled. Time is their natural environment. Why do we sense that it is not ours? C. S. Lewis…asked how it was that I, as a product of a materialistic universe, was not at home there. “Do fish complain of the sea for being wet? Or if they did, would that fact itself not strongly suggest that they had not always been, or would not always be, purely aquatic creatures?” Then, if we complain of time and take such joy in the seemingly timeless moment, what does that suggest? It suggests that we have not always been or will not always be purely temporal creatures. It suggest that we were created for eternity. Not only are we harried by time, we seem unable, despite a thousand generations, even to get used to it. We are always amazed at it – how fast it goes, how slowly it goes, how much of it is gone. Where, we cry, has the time gone? We aren’t adapted to it, not at home in it. If that is so, it may appear as a proof, or at least a powerful suggestion, that eternity exists and is our home.

Isn’t this good!?!?! 

completely out of the blue

Angela got a brain freeze and forgot what they were called so we listed off these:

 Brainache

headfreeze

braincold

 Why is Brain freeze chosen over all these wonderful words? Anyone?…….

My favorite sappy BBC dramas

•  Wives and Daughters
• old Pride and Prejudice-long
• Pride and Prejudice
• Persuasion 
• North and South-amazing!!!
• Emma

Racquetball is the best thing since Josie’s fettucini!!! everyone should try to play it. The sport is easy and fun, like tennis inside, and you can’t hit it out of bounds. 

I want to…..

• Make a quilt
• get good @ racquetball 
• pick up basketball/volleyball on occasion
• learn how to rock climb!!!
• get a B in A&P
• cook
• get a job!!

my snow day included waking up to the retched sound of the phone ringing. Even though I tried to ignore the sound its persistence won out in the end, and I drug my tired body out of bed where liz was eagerly waiting on the other line. We went sledding…………yes SLEDDING!! This is liz for ya!! She has always loved the snow and every time the weather turns white Liz is calling, mainly on me cause I always go along with her weird ideas, wanting to go sledding with anything we can find. In this case a boogie board : ) so me paul liz and angela scott went sledding and when we finally came inside we made the apple pancakes!!! They turned out great although they kinda stuck to the cupcake tins no matter what we did. I was satisfied and will probably make them again.

 

 

beach trip!!

 This is from our trip to the beach. It snowed on our drive there but all in all it was a fun trip!!!

Still loving the time off!!
