Reediculous:

-i still have coughing fits from a virus that hit me 2 weeks ago! blah!

-i'm walking around like an old lady b/c my lower back HURTS - and the only explanation? did i cough so much/hard that i threw out my back? i think that might be it... arg! (hopefully it'll get better SOON b/c i'm doing labor-intensive volunteering the next 2 Saturdays!)

-while cleaning out my closet, i found a whole box of bags - an entire file folder box of plastic bags from target, gap, barnes... yes, i'm a packrat - but sometimes i surprise/disgust even myself! i threw the whole thing away...well, not the box and...okay, i kept a handful of bags for i don't know what reason but i just couldn't throw them all away. sheesh...

-speaking of which, i own and still wear underwear that i purchased in high school - is that too long? but i promise, no holes!

-i received a book this week (a gift) with this title: Getting Serious About Getting Married... eeeeek!

-why do i create so much work for myself? i made the 4th & 6th grade science fair projects mandatory - sooo not only do i have more to grade, i have to figure out how to fit ~100 projects into our multi-purpose room. why? oh dear... next week's going to be stressful

-i just finished listening to The Fellowship of the Ring in its entirety...15 tapes!

-the amount of energy needed to be a Wiggle is crazy. i sat through an entire live concert on dvd while babysitting tonight and i got tired just watching. i've always wanted to be a back-up dancer but maybe not for the wiggles.

-speaking of which (part 2), my mom *almost* reprimanded for babysitting on a Friday night instead of going on a date. haha...

-i still haven't planned my spring break yet! most likely, i'll just go home. but i have this beautiful $200 United voucher (b/c the movie during the flight to korea wasn't working properly - i know, pretty generous, eh?)...so where should i go w/ it?

thankful:

-i'm surrounded by wise girlfriends

-i love my co-workers (current and ex)

speaking of which (part 3), i feel very lucky that my co-workers share their lives w/ me. some have been quite open and vulnerable. part of the reason, i think, is that i'm extremely open. b/c i tend to be so vulnerable, they don't get the sense that i'd judge them (even knowing that i'm evangelical christian). and no matter what any of them have told me, i can't judge them b/c i've experienced failures too - different failures...& yet the same. but i definitely hurt for them and hope that God can use me to encourage them. and perhaps, just perhaps, they can meet Him too.
