Lent
My church preached a really good message this evening. I have lots of friends [and me included] who celebrate Lent and forget why we’re doing it. We should remember to give up things that distract us from God or things that will be hard to remind us of Jesus’ sacrifice.
They gave some good examples, like giving up listening to your Ipod between classes/bus rides to focus on prayer,...

Today is a wierd anniversary
Its the 17th anniversary of my mom’s death. I wish I knew when her birthday was, so I could celebrate her life instead of dwelling on the day her life ended, but alas, I don’t. We don’t freely talk about it and probably never will.

I give up
on the job search for this semester. I have all the time in the world, a great resume, and I’m broke. I’ve applied to at least 10 places [granted, none have been fast food places….ugh don’t want to go there again but I may have to], and some places with friends working there already to put in a good word.
And I have not been even contacted. Period.

— the first scoop into a new, big, yogurt container.
— well made coffee.
— a dead Ipod coming back to life.
— a beautiful day.
— being called “petite” by a stranger and then by a friend.
— getting inspired by my own art work.
