Update

ha, it seems like it's been a decade.

the weekend that was: Friday I went to the grocery store. Saturday was supposed to be my Grandma's birthday party, but the weather put a kabosh on that, so I spent the afternoon at the laundromat, thinking of all the ways to make a better laundry experience [i HATE laundromats]. Saturday night was Baker's Birthday Bonanza, which was awesome. Then I spent yesterday at church. Youth group went well- 4 new kids, a really great game, some birthday cake [Tisha's birthday] and a message in our sex series about focusing on wanting God's best rather than "I can't have sex." Scripture was Phil. 3:12-16 in the Message:

I'm not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back. So let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you'll see it yet! Now that we're on the right track, let's stay on it.

on my to-do list this week: call parents about confirmation, since only one student has signed up; get Winter Jam stuff figured out; work on volunteer stuff.

procrastinating about: having a talk with someone. I know I need to, but it's one of those talks that you put off and you put off, and you know you'll feel better afterwards, but you still try to avoid it. bleh, NOT FUN.

book i’m in the midst of: hahaha well... still Wicked. I need to get that done soon. I'm also reading through Ephesians in the Pidgin Bible.

music that seemed to catch my attention this past week: Motown stuff and Britney Spears' new album, Circus. polar opposites, right?

how i’m feeling about this week: so-so. I'm excited for Ash Wednesday. that's a weird thing to get excited about, but I like Lent and Holy Week- that whole time in the church. I don't really know why.
