The Adventure Called Life Day 151...oh! the weather outside is frightful...

i adore snow. i truly love how it glistens in the sunlight, and even under the stars in the moonlight. there is something about a perfectly smooth field of snow nestled in between some pines. i also think it aids my wild imagination...

days like today though bunch me right into group of the average Michigander who is fed up with the ucky white stuff. the wind is very bitter and the snow keeps drifting and drifting, and drifting some more! not to mention its STILL SNOWING. ugh. i need to go to the bank and get some groceries, but with the weather like this, i might have to postpone my trip until tomorrow. hopefully it will stop snowing in a little while. then i can go out :) well on that note, im taking a nap. i have a meeting with Ron in a little bit and class at 4.

oh! the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we've no place to go,
let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

The Adventure Called Life Day 102...sweatin' to the oldies...

Thursday, January 7, 2009

i am living in another snow globe! YAY :) I LOVE snow! it has been snowing non stop for the last six hours. its quite beautiful, and I am super thankful I did my grocery shopping yesterday!! PRAISE THE LORD!

I had class today, then I went over to Liz Dusseau's office. Liz wanted to talk about this summer. So now I am going to talk to Ron about last summer. Work through some confidence issues on my part, and also confrontation phobia that I have. So meeting with Ron confirmed for 3:3o tomorrow.

Then after stopping by liz's office, I got back to the house, and headed to the gym. It was amazing. I did 35 minutes on the cross trainer machine, then another 15 on the bike to cool down. I LOVE that machine. AH! and I just feel invincible afterwards. Tomorrow I'm going to try to lift a little bit. I would like to do free weights, but maybe I should get help. I would ask Mitchell, but I don't know if thats in some unwritten code as a "do not" for our relationship, whatever it is...LOL...anyway, I will probably just do the machines. I will still do the cross trainer machine, the bike to cool down, then some weights.

so maybe I'll get the courage up to ask him for help. I'm sure he would be willing to at lease show me what to do. He won't have to be there all the time, just a couple to get me started. It would be nice to go and work out with someone regularly. Maybe I'll call him tomorrow. Maybe

also, I had a wonderful talk with Matt Voiles. He did not make Wellspring. He is a great musician, and he has a wonderful heart for the Lord's ministry. Its so encouraging to see how he is handling this closed door. He is going to grow so much from this, and I am praying that doors will open for him this summer. He's worried about money, and is being realistic about school. he's paying for it on his own. So money is an issue. I've had my own money issues. My father has been paying for school, but I buy all my groceries, and clothes, gas, pay car insurance, and misc stuff. Which is probably normal for everyone else. But somehow I've managed to get lots of hidden fees on my bank account and a resulting over draft charge because I didn't account for the monthly maintence fee. Its rather embarrassing what a mess I've made of my finances. yuck. so this year, money is scarce, as it should be. I should not be focusing on money. God is my focus. AMEN.

The Adventure Called Life Day 078...chirstmas chapel...

so today when I woke up, I literally was like, "YIPEEEE!" and had to remind myself not to squeal like a little girl, because my roommates were still asleep, it was 7:30. I don't know what's happened to me, I usually am a; bear in the mornings, my wellspring team knows this. But somehow, I managed to feel uber excited upon wake up. yikes!

anyway, we did sound check, then I went to Spanish Class, and Im glad I left a little early, Renee came by and needed a copy of our song for this morning for choir! ah! so glad that i went down there just to check. LOL...

i think a nap (like 20 mins) would be a good way to keep my energy level up.

so after class today (which I had only two today!) I took a trip to Wal*mart and picked up some stuff to make thumbprint cookies. They're delicious little shortbread cookies rolled in walnuts with jam in the middle. simply divine, and my FAVORITE Christmas cookie.

I'll have to take  a picture of them tomorrow when I put jam in the middle of them for the annual Festivus party at Phil, Mike, Clark and David's...going to be super awesome. I think the whole campus might be invited...LOL I think we watch the Seinfeld Festivus Episode. I originally made them for Prop Shop on Wednesday, but I think I'll take a plate over to the boy's anyway, I have FOUR DOZEN :) and I could always make more ;)

well that's about it, im tired and I need sleep, but don't we all!
big day tomorrow, my conducting rehearsal is tomorrow with the Chamber Singers. A little nervous, but I'm getting up at like 9 to practice. I have to be there at 12:20...I CAN DO THIS!!
