Finding Things Day

Today is a finding things day in the Schreck basement.
I found two things I love and have been oddly missing for a few weeks. Maybe a month or two. Things that I have managed to hold on to for quite a few years even though they are the kind of things that go missing.
My creative memories scissors (aka my hair scissors)
My old school canvas Trader Joes bag
Found and found!
I knew they had to be in places they semi-belonged, because I checked all the weird places (almost lost a pair of underwear today by trying to put them in the recycling rather than the laundry hamper), and they were.
I also (re)found my cooking ability, and my ability to say no to snack specials at WinCo.

Musical Update!

I'm discovereing that playing guitar frequently has its pros and cons. One of the stranger cons being the increasingly limited feeling in my left hand fingertips - a problem for someone who types a lot of random numbers and letters for work. Of course one of the pros I'm enjoying is having my strong hands back. I have missed having strong fingers/hands from guitar and climbing.
Also cool - today I finally got rid of the Power Puff girl shoelace that was holding my strap to my guitar! And I say "I" somewhat loosely... it was something of a group effort: Tracy went out and picked up a propper strap connector thing and Josh did the actual replacing. It just happens to belong to me. My guitar looks a little classier now. I probably should have taken care of that before Rob played it in our wedding. Oh well!

I Couldn't Resist Them


Perfect summer snacks.

Sum It Up

This pretty much sums up how distracted I am so far today (and how, I believe, the rest of the week will end up): following an early morning alternately punctuated with adhd dreams and listening to the babies jump up and down on the floor over my head, I proceeded to almost put my liquid eyeliner on my eyebrows. This is how distracted I am. Watch out.

When God is enough, we can see that everyone needs compassion and He is mighty to save.

Enough - Chis Tomlin

You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
worth living for
And still more awesome than I know

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You’re the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me

Mighty to Save - Hillsong

Everyone needs compassion
Love that’s never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations

Saviour
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender

Shine Your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing
For the glory of the risen King
jesus
shine you light and let the whole world see
were singing
for the glory of the risen king

Odds

I accidently switched two numbers while I was dialing a call at work. Instead of a new Kaiser member I got the 82nd ave McDonalds. It's the closest to my house, and happens to be the only one I've been to in about a year. Very werid. It's also the only wrong number that ended up being something besides someone's house that I've called so far.

It's Like This

I've decided the craft store is crack. For me, at least. It makes me wide eyed and jittery, excited and a little bit crazy. It makes me want to spend terrible amounts of money and stay up all night. On a more positive note, it also produces fun projects and lots of gifts. It also is not an addiction (not quite), and has a dollar section.
Not recommended in combination with sugar and caffeine.

Jonathan Adler.

Have I mentioned before how much I love him? And love his pottery? (I will have some, and soon.) And his needlepoint? Oh yes. Ohhhh yes.
