AMAZINGly GLORIOUS

ok tonight was just glorious...and do you know why? ill tell you why...i am an amazing race junkie...yes i admit it...i am ADDICTED to that show and i have the BEST NEWS EVER!!!! my whole reason for being addicted is how much i adore the "hippies" on the show and tonight finally the nice guys actually finished FIRST! yes that's right, the two guys who spent the duration of the amazing race being kindhearted, funloving, people full of mercy and grace with an exciting amount of enthusiasim WON! the hippies won and beat the "frat boys" into the ground! i was actually screaming at my tv by the end of the show...ah if only all tv was that fabulous. i only hope that i can learn to face life's challenges like they do...with a smile on my face. so here's to an amazingly GLORIOUS duo! weeehaw! te-tao!
:D

set free

tonight i crossed a threshold...now i wont claim to have total and complete freedom, but tonight i broke free from some of my bindings and in doing so managed to dance at god's feet fully rejoicing in his glory (however i sure did manage to almost fall flat on my face a couple times...too bad no one but god was watching...it woulda been a good show). anyhoo...

i pray that we may all be set free from our bindings and that we may be able to find freedom in god's infinite love for us. i pray we are all set free to be who we are intended to be. i want to be free to be me...and tonight i got a taste of that for the first time in a really long time. praise be to god and may his glory shine forever and always.

typical me

ok so here is a typical exchange between me and the world...today it happened to be me and a co-worker.

me thinking im being quite the smart ass: "i hope you were done talking to john cause he sure did just walk away from you...and i hope you were still talking to him cause i didnt hear a word you just said"

my co-worker: (still mumbling indistinguishables) ...

me: "what?!"

my co-worker: "i was talking to the lady"

me: "huh?" (knowing full well that there was no lady in sight)

my co-worker: "i was talking to you...you're the only lady in here right now"

me: (still thrown by having been called a lady especially as sincere as he was actually being) i die of laughter and embarassment and utter a very quick "im fine...how are you"


yeah leave it to me to not only miss what was being said because i was in my own little world but that i also have yet to come to terms with the fact that some (mainly those who DONT know me well) actually consider me to be a lady...

now before y'all start huffin and puffin no im not putting myself down...in my glossary of terms a lady is one that is prim and proper and typically refined...all things that i am not...i have come to terms with that...you should too.
:)


-------------------------------------------

side note: that same afore-mentioned co-worker later called me sweet cheeks which up til now i thought nothing of the term but tonight realized that some might actually not be refering to my face when uttering that...it made me question a lot of people...but it also made me laugh.
:)

being part of a one legged man

tonight i laughed harder than i think i have in months. i went to a very be-lated cinco de mayo party and had a ball playing mexican bingo and a couple other crazy games. i had a bit of a drag race on the way to cold stone (nothing major) but i won thanks to the fact that i know some street lights well and was able to anticipate which lane would get the green first...wonderful victory!
:D
i had ice cream sitting outside with friends...always a natural high...ended up at starbucks to warm up and there the group i was with ended up reading the kiddie books that were out...and mainly they had all the great staples. for example they had corduroy bear, where the wild things are, one fish two fish red fish blue fish, the cat in the hat, green eggs and ham and one of my very favorites alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good very bad day...it was fabulous! we sat there seeing how fast we could read dr. seuss and even though we were probably louder than we should have been all we got were smirks from those around us. so at least people thought we were amusing. its been a fantabulous day!
and as tony might say...
"Praise the Lord!"

quoteable quotes and an added bonus

added bonus first: i learned that fillings can break but finding a dentist that gives you chocolate scented lip balm throughout your procedures is priceless!

and now...quoteable quotes

"he almost needs a braziere for those cheeks!"

"carrigan claims he doesnt read blogs...but if he's ever mentioned in one, it just happens to be one that he's read."

"dont re-direct the conversation" ... "im not...its just that...but...i dont like you right now!"

"does drama follow you?"

"are you freezing?" ... "no im just armless"

and finally:

PLEASE!

"put your shit on the table and call it shit, dont put it on the table and call it roses...cause it AINT roses!...call your shit!"

things ive learned

the big one for today is that fillings can crumble and leave you with a wonderful adventure of trying to find and get in to see a dentist...hooray. umm yeah not so much but at least it will keep me busy tomorrow. if anyone has a good dentist let me know.
:(

ive learned something today

i learned (yet again) that i get grumpy, crabby, and sluggish when i dont eat...if im hungry you can forget about me being or having any fun...you would think i would know this by now...but i guess i havent quite "got" it yet. ah well, one good thing i learned today...there really is someone out there who is as blunt and honest as i am...and she is super cool too! Megan you rocked my socks off tonight, never in a million years would i have thought i could relate to another girl that fast...way cool. i also learned that i am actually growing up a little...ive out grown the arcade...or rather the arcade has evolved without me...they used to have air hockey and pinball machines and wack-a-mole (wonderfully fabulous if you are tired and cranky or hungry and grumpy cause you can get all your frustration out) but Dave and Busters did not seem to have any of those tonight...and what a bummer it was...yes i had a good time yes i enjoyed myself but my standby favorites were no-where to be found and i was left feeling outdated and sad...i love my pinball...ah well...maybe i just missed it or maybe ill find a machine elsewhere to play on. though i was really surprised at how many kids were in Dave and Busters...i thought it was for adults only...it really hinders your pool game if you have to look out for little kids who wont get out of the way. ah well...good news was they were all well behaved and seemed to be enjoying themselves. ok well that is what i learned today. and now its time for me to get some sleep! 'nite!

i have a choice

at starbucks last night amy g. made a really good comment about the power of being thankful. essentially we all have a choice, we can choose to see the glass as half full or half empty and if we choose half empty it can easily bring us into a tailspin. but if instead we choose half full and decide to be thankful for what we do have or even that we are having troubles it can have a powerful impact. its sooo important to remember how much we have to be thankful for and so easy to forget it too. i choose how i react to things, i have a choice, and that is wonderful.
