Tick Tock

Lately I've been haunted by a particularly nasty feeling of crazed restlessness. A couple of days ago I was able to narrow down at least part of this insistent voice to a very real desire for one of these:




Unfortunately for me, I need one of these...

...first.

Any useful tips on how to find and secure a quality member of the above species are welcome.

More Red Headed silliness.

Also,

If you could please pray for my roommates and I. We think we may have found an amazing house but there are some details still to work out including getting our application picked over the others that have been submitted and financial details.

We really just want to be in the right place at the right time for the right price. I know, I for one, need a little help trusting in God that He has a good safe place for us where healing and fruit bearing can happen in and around us.

Will you please join us in praying to find our way into the right home? And that, if possible, we might find it soon. Thank you!

Quarter of a Century!

For those of you who have not spent your birthday in Idaho at a country bar, may I just say, "you are seriously missing out."

I had a wonderful birthday celebration yesterday replete with laughter and fun and a Keg race to boot! Don't worry it didn't involve downing a keg like I originally feared. I just had to sit on the keg and look pretty while my partner did the hard work of pushing us (me and the keg on wheels) across the dance floor, around the pole and back to the stage. Despite a rough start in which my keg tried to buck me (or was that my partner?), my team clinched an easy victory over our seriously inebriated competitors.

Other highlights of the night include; Dancing!, Not having to pay for anything, getting a CD and packet of matches from the MC just because it was my birthday, laughing with friends about creepy tambourine man and his dancing, flirting with the many good looking men in our party and last but not least, a cheering contest that required cramming as many people as possible on top of our table to scream at the top of our lungs in the hope of winning a round of free shots for the group. We lost.

I also had a wonderful dinner out with friends and presents at the 'oh so good' Steamplant Grill pre-Idaho extravaganza that blessed me in so many ways. I cherish the opportunity to eat good food and spend time talking with the people that I love.

Thanks to all of you who called, sent presents, drove me around, bought me dinner, treated me to a drink, danced my silly dances with me or were just generally kind to me as I tried to make my peace with reaching this milestone.

Here's to hoping that the 25th year is everything I dream it can be!

Girls Night In

Tonight I went and rented a sappy romantic drama and a Brad Pitt staple from Blockbuster, bought a terribly unhealthy double bacon cheese burger dinner from my good friend J in the B, treated myself to some of my favorite libations and stayed home with my phone off watching movies and painting my nails. It was heaven.

The High Low Game

Lows:
  1. Finding out that, most likely, I do owe the IRS $300. I can't really afford that.
  2. Learning that I'm no closer to my goal weight now, than when I started exercising two months ago.

Highs:

  1. Being treated to a surprise dinner by a generous neighbor and friend.
  2. Getting an e-mail from my Dad.

Home Sweet Home

Well, it looks like I will be moving yet again.

I would welcome any tips/options for housing that I (and possibly 3 other people) could get in on within the next month or so.
