the world inside my head

so today i feel like a semi-productive human being. here's what i did...

- did pilates
- forgot to eat breakfast
- went to church (THE LATE SERVICE!!)
- went to eat with friends
- started a load of laundry
- charged my ipod
- subscribed to podcasts i've been meaning to subscribe to
- found my resume paper in the trunk of my car
- print out resumes
- allow jason's new kitchen paint color to grow on me
- take down this bit of surprise decorating by my roommate


- finish load of laundry which, in my house, looks like this


- finish this part of my sister's birthday present


- wrote this very detailed blog

...and it's only 6:45!! so in case you were wondering, my first day as a non-dillard's employee has been an astoundingly fabulous one!

so, yeah. not so much of a blogger lately. the good news is, i kind of have a life now which is nice. and there's really not any bad news. hip hip. here's some sort of an update...

- my last day at dillard's is saturday. that sentence should be followed by a million exclamation points. i am so happy to be leaving. i'm not quite as excited as i thought i would be at this point, but i am still thrilled. i'm kind of mellow about the whole thing. again, i would like to reiterate the idea that if anyone hears me complaining of boredom, they should slap me. hard.

- i wish i could eat cheese dip every day of my life.

- i was off sunday. it was fabulous. i went to the late service at church. phenomenal is the only word i know to describe it. i then went to eat with the fabulously wonderful zellmer family and then proceded to curl up under my covers and read Anne Lamott for a few hours before going back to church and being surrounded by even more phenomenal-ness.

- and since i haven't really elaborated on this as of yet and i had mentioned in a blog before about being frustrated in finding a church, let me say that i love where i am. i am amazed really that i landed at summit. that this seems to be the place where God wants me. i really didn't think it would happen. but i love it. i love the speakers. i love the community. i love what i learn there. i love the fact that all of the aforementioned things interact to make me into a person that i like at the moment (most of the time) and inspire me to be more than that. it feels like home to me. i love that feeling.

- i leave for europe in a little over a month. i feel horribly ill-prepared to do so.

- school is out in a little over a month. i feel incredibly well-prepared to do so.

well i'm out. my shoulders ache (there's your bad news) and there is no good reason i shouldn't be in bed.

deuces

i've been thinking a lot lately about how people (namely me) never seem to be content. regardless of income, people think they're broke. regardless of the number of responsibilities (or lack thereof), people think they're busy. i go on and on about how great my life would be if i had more time or a job that paid more. but odds are i will still find things to complain about.
that's where you come in.
it may be a few months late, but i'm making some resolutions. and WHEN i break them (i am a realist) i want you to remind me of them.

when i no longer work at dillards i will:

- exercise more
- read more
- watch more movies
- spend more time with friends
- not complain when i spend nights alone
- invest more time in people in general
- clean house more often
- be smart with my money (or lack thereof)
- not complain about my lack of money
- give my dog a bath
- swing on the tire swing in my backyard
- spend more time with my mom
- appreciate naps
- use my time to serve others
- make my house more home-y

if i come up with more, i'll let you know.
if you come up with some, please share them.
most of all, know that i am sorry for all of my complaining.
my life is amazing.
i am so blessed.
when i get obnoxious, please slap me.
