These are a few random thoughts that have been on my mind as of late.
1. Rapunzel’s hair was really long, yet she never tripped over it, nor did it get tangled or gross. I pondered this the entire time I was watching “Tangled”. How is this possible?
2. The last two days I have eaten at places where I have had to drink my diet coke out of a bottle, not just out of a fountain, thus making me remember the one thing I got most annoyed at in Honduras. Just put it in my cup, dang!
3. I bought a new pair of men’s workout shorts and a new dress at Old Navy yesterday. Thank you gift card.
4. Can you take a sewing machine as a carry-on? I have been doing some sewing, as well as “Sprucing-up” a Christmas present, and well, I want my sewing machine in Honduras.
5. Last Friday, I wept in the kitchen of a friend because Jd and I were running quite low on funds. We prayed over my anxiety. Then on Sunday, I prayed again that our money would be deposited, and on Monday morning we found out we got a very generous donation, then went to dinner with some new friends on Tuesday and they donated a very generous sum to us. God does provide.
6. Really, I love Quik Trip. I praise the Lord for this establishment.
7. Finally saw “The Social Network”. We watched it with the Spanish subtitles, thus teaching me the word for “Network” in Spanish, as well as many other words I have wanted to know but knew not to ask about. You know, cuss words.
8. The picture of the man who murdered the people in Tuscon last week, scares me to death. It takes some real balls to smile like a crazy dude in your mug shot, like he must really be crazy.
9. Our dog stole the lighter fluid off the grill of my parents. She is really special sometimes (but really good, so trust me, you want her).
10. Today Oprah told the people in her crowd that to “Live Your Best Life” you needed to clean the clutter out of your house. I find this to be true. We have few belongings in Honduras, thus not much clutter. I guess I just found this statement to be ironic as it came out of the mouth of a woman who owns like ten houses. And after the next commercial break, she told everyone the top fashion things to buy for 2011. Um, contradicting messages, anyone?
11. Jonathan Edwards has a list of resolution that, well, I think only Jesus could really uphold. There is one I just think is ridiculous. He resolves to not speak anything that causes laughter on the Sabbath. Hmmmm….other than that, love the list.
12. We are going to eat at Jason’s Deli this evening. Love Jason’s.
