new slang


Today - one of those days where you go to sleep the night before with no plans, and you wake up at 9:30 am with no plans, and as soon as you step outside your door you realize there is allot more to do than you had imagined when you fell asleep. Most of these things were of the minutely exciting nature, such as laundry, cleaning up the garage, etc. If anything made these tasks less enjoyable, it was not their lack of flavor, but rather the 97°F weather. Praise the Lord for air conditioning. 


There were other parts of today that were more exciting than these. First was the re-discovery of a comfy yellow skirt that I have not worn in years, and the fact that it went well with my multicolored belt from salvation army. Second was a thrift/grocery trip, listening to The Shins in an uncomfortably hot car. Third was the finding of this lovely thrifted treasure from the local thrift store. Yarn embroidered flowers on pretty yellow canvas (70's? The colors suggest as much... at least the thrift lady thought so). It will look nice on my wall.





Fourth exciting thing was hunting for the least expensive 4% fat, ground beef at the grocery store (I found it eventually. Yay!). Fifth (and final, up to this point) was arriving home to a very encouraging email from a very dear friend that built my faith immensely. 


Today was a good reminder that God is faithful over ground beef, life plans, and everything in-be-tween. Moreover, he loves me steadfastly because of is son. And my failures today (they have been many) are as if they had never happened. Praise the Lord indeed.

Here is the result of last nights mind milking with the assistance of the Long and Winding Road, memories of a beautiful summer, and hopes for a lovely winter.
