So Good

After a baketastic weekend, I am enjoying a breakfast of both banana walnut bread and chocolate chip oat scones.

You wish you were here.

Workout

So with my sore foot/toe I haven't been able to run, and haven't really felt like working out. (Pain is a good excuse for laziness.) But at WinCo this afternoon I got an inadvertent workout. Two words: obstinate cart.

Mostly my right arm got the biggest part of the work, but that's pretty standard (last year my right arm was at least an inch bigger than my left).
I made up for it by eating Easter candy.

Deprivation

Why is there no icecream in this house? Where is the chocolate? There is always chocolate. And usually marshmellows.

I have nothing to say no to!



Just tv.

Studying

So I have this reoccuring dream these last two months that I am attending some sort of community college (I think?). I am enrolled in two classes - I think one is some sort of English class, and one an art class. In my dream it's like I've just woken up and remembered that I am still in school, not working and what not so I panick and race to school, freaking out that I haven't gone to classes in a month and have no idea what is going on. Over the past week people have been talking about finals, so I dreamed that it was almost finals and I had pretty much only been to school one week. Josh was really relaxed (as usual) and told me I should just go and I could totally do the finals just fine. Uh huh. Freak out dreams. haha. They are horrible, but so wonderful when I really do wake up because I LOVE not being in school right now! I win.
However, I still love learning and studying and reading. I'm currently working on a fact sheet project for Ezra (for Josh's ss class), which I'm enjoying. Also, we are reading a booklet thing for church called "Seek God for the City". I believe we are going to start a book called "Just Walk Across the Room" for small group, and I just heard about a Francis Chan book called "Crazy Love" that I want to read. (I was first introduced to Chan last year at Passion Atlanta - he is a great speaker and has a big heart for God.) There is so much more to learn.

Marvelous Light

I was sitting here on the orange chair doing my morning computer stuff when the sun made its way around the house (and just blinded me as I checked to see how close it was to heading behind the hedge) and is, for the first time I remember, shining right on me! i have sun shining in my face in my little basement house! It is lovely.
As I took a moment to bask and smile, I noticed the song I was playing, having just downloaded it, was Marvelous Light by Charlie Hall. Oh yes, today is full of Marvelous Light!

Portland Timbers

So, my life has been consumed alot recently by the Portland Timbers. They are Portland's professional soccer team. They are currently in public debate to get an expansion team to the MLS and upgraded PGE stadium. It's crazy. The vote is this coming Wednesday. Here are some links about it.

Not to Mention

I've had plenty of things to blog about this week, and not gotten to any of them. Things that fall under such categories as
magical carwash experience
toothpaste recommendations (and the black list)
humorous tastes in politics
flying clouds
Perelandrea bushes
nicknames by strangers
making movies at work
and minor house floods deja vu.
Not to mention my concern over what our landlords must thing as we receive at least two Victoria's Secret catalogs a week.
Or the fact that I have not cleaned house or cooked real food all week - so thank goodness for my most awesome husband, blenders, and extra towels (you were right, Twigs).
