moist.

So I'm sitting here in the library, having got off work a good two hours ago... and I cannot seem to drag myself away from the computer. I'm tired, I have some homework to do, and the computer is gonna kick me off soon cuz the library is closing. But here i sit. *sigh* Its cuz I didn't check my email, facebook or anything online for THREE DAYS. *gasp* i had 30 new emails in my inbox. 20-some facebook notifications. I felt sorta loved, not gonna lie.

Anyways, there is a reason I picked "moist" as my title of choice. Well, no good reason. Because in all honesty, I had no ideas and so I picked a random word. BUT there is a "story" behind it. My cousin has an aversion to the word. she always used to hate when it was used. and when I think about it, it IS a strange word. But if you think about it in context, like moist sheets, or a moist cave...it just sort of leaves a gritty, sorta weird taste in your mouth. Just thought I'd share =)

I really have nothing of profundity and wisdom to share with you all today. Um, random tidbits of information: Mexico is happening again in like five days. my co-worker bought me three new ties (YEEEEAH! this excites me, btw...). I made bank at work last night. I made nothing at work tonight. I learned how to say "you will feel as light as a feather" today in spanish: vas a sentir asi ligera como una pluma. I like it when the sky is blue and the weather is cool and crisp (like today was). The library is giving me 8 minutes and 25 seconds to get off the computer. I was told today that when i prayed for my food, it was refreshing and delightful for that person to see someone pray before dinner. I miss playing piano...I really need to make time for that. I wish i had an automatic hugging mannequin so that I could fill my daily quota. I'm pretty far behind.

And now I'll sign off so I can get to bed. After I read. and floss my teeth. Because Dr. Lawrence V-somethin'-somethin' told me that if I floss daily, I'll reduce the growth and spreading of cavities. This sounds like a good option for me.
you would take care to floss your teeth as well. Just sayin'

ttfn (tata for now!)

can you say, WOOT!

Yeah, thats right. You KNOW you want to say it outloud. I know I do. But I'm in the library, and they'd probably kick me out for indecent...noise making?
Allow me to describe the circumstances that led to this wonderfulness.
(and notice I said circumstances, meaning that they are subject to change and are NOT what my joy and contentment with life is hinged upon. but fantastic, they are, none-the-less.)

anyways.

#1) I woke up in good time, got ready, managed to look presentable and wasn't too grumpy! (this is quite an accomplishment, btw)
#2) Chapel was amazing. Sat with a good friend, heard a wonderful message of truth. and sang praises to God. mmm it always does my heart good to start my day with my Father.
#3) I got the sweetest, most unexpected blessing from some friends. It made me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
#4) STATS CLASS IS CANCELLED!!! (and I apologize for giving this reason all caps, but seriously, you don't know how ecstatic I am....this is like finding out that your mom made your favorite meal and its not even your birthday. or...being sent an anonymous check in the mail with a note that says, "don't spend it all in one place...make it at least three or four!")
#5) I have the lingering memories of a phenomenal weekend that left me so blessed, filled up and ready to face the week!

And at this point, surprisingly, I'm at a loss for words. There are just so many things to talk about, but nothing that jumps to mind.

ok, I got it.

I am a classic American. My life is go, go, go. Always. I have a hard time slowing down, and stepping back from the business and stuff of life. And when I say stuff, I mean, EVERYTHING. it is so inclusive. The meetings, work, social obligations, facebook, phone calls, texts, class, even church, events, everything. They fill up my life so much. every moment in fact, if I let it.
So I am learning how to, as my dear mother says, just "shhh....be still." I am learning how to let God talk to me...to know Him, be comfortable in His presence.
It is a challenge, but one that I hope to overcome, as I know my God more and more each day.

Blessings on you. be strong.
