life is so boring and mundane

My day off turned into eight hours of work but I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done, I’m done. ;) Now to prepare for the conference I’m staffing this weekend. And of course do all that (in less than an hour) and be up for the firm tomorrow for a full day of work [...]

hmm

I live like sleep is overrated, though technically, I do not believe this.  But if beliefs are known through actions…then…well.  ;p I need to be in bed in less than two hours but I am nowhere near ready for my trip and I still have work to get done tonight and some deadlines to meet. [...]

worlds apart

I couldn’t have said it better…(Jars of Clay’s “Worlds Apart”) – I am the only one to blame for this Somehow it all ends up the same Soaring on the wings of selfish pride I flew too high and like Icarus I collide With a world I try so hard to leave behind To rid [...]

thinking

Today’s my day off this week but I’m gonna have to work most of it – deadlines, deadlines, deadlines! Friends are wonderful thing.  I am blessed beyond measure. A million thoughts, a million questions.  Why did I have to be a philosopher?  ;)  I blame my parents entirely.  *grin*  Though I’d have it no other [...]

sucked in

I went to my mother’s tonight because I had some needed things to do there; today was a pj day…and I wasn’t expecting to have to leave the house but Mom needed me to head out there, so I said “Mother, I’m in my pjs, I haven’t even properly brushed my hair – I’m bumming [...]

sigh

Oh my.  For various reasons, I had to dig out my birth certificate to make copies tonight, and as I am doing so, I start to read it, see my father’s name and age when I was born and just burst out crying. He would have been 55 this year. I miss him so much.  [...]

crash like the waves

I wish I could crash like the waves in effort to praise you… The cry of my heart tonight. Why oh why He chooses to die for us, to give up his life, to sacrifice himself, I will never fully understand but can only in response cry in humulity and thankfulness and praise him for who [...]

waking up

The birds are so loud this morning – I really wonder why they are currently here right now; I wonder if the messed up/changing weather patterns have really affected them; it threw me off to hear so many singing – their cheerful voices are usually a sign that spring is just around the corner and [...]

ramblings

Smile like you mean it (The Killers) – My heart is full today.  My house is clean.  The candles are lit, the kettle is ready to be put on, the dessert is made, and I am freshly showered and awaiting my friend for an afternoon visit.  And then it’s off to a work meeting…and then [...]

la de da da

Listening to the Killers and working from my home; we got blanketed with a beautiful covering of brilliantly white snow last night; the snow plows woke me up this morning – or rather, my body did at my normal time but I turned over and tried to fall back asleep since I had the morning [...]

goodnight, moon

I woke up at 4 a.m. this morning and had ten hours of work meetings today back to back (with only one half hour break in order to make a commute inbetween the string of meetings).  I am beyond tired.  It’s 10 p.m. and I am ready to literally crash.  ;p Loving Natalie Merchant as [...]

Go to bed, go to bed, go to bed, go to bed. Had a very productive day today, which I relish and over which I’m well pleased. Goodnight!

laundry failures

Washing a brand new cranberry oversized bath towel with all your other clothing/towels is not recommended. I forgot the towel was new as it matches my other bath towels and thus had dye to be shared – wish it hadn’t been so generous. Whoops. I hate when I make my white towels pink. I hate [...]

I love taking clothes out of the dryer, especially on a cold winter’s eve, and burying my face into the warmth of the freshly laundered clothes.

friends

Was hanging out with Anna and Randy at their home last night – we had a lovely dinner and then Anna and I made crustless pumpkin pie together – and Randy was working out and put on music that was from the era of my  highschool days which just delighted me to no end because [...]

paths not taken

Last week, I was talking on campus with a fellow staff worker (who works in another state), and I mentioned what I’m currently doing (i.e. inbetween both worlds – collegiate work with students and the legal world – few straddle both worlds as I am currently doing) and somehow started talking about my own collegiate [...]

I feel like I have 900 things to do today. And there are only so many hours in the day.  Hmm. Life is full, life is beautiful, and life is beautifully full.

question

What does falling in love entail? [I should give a disclaimer in the form of a quote from a friend. "When it comes to love, most people don't have argued reasons for why they are in love, well, except for Christy because she's a philosopher, but for most people, it just 'feels' right.- Jon S.] [...]

journey…continued…always

I thought life would be much different than it is. But it’s much better than I would have known it could be. Yet, had I known where I’d be today and what I deemed was “good” or could have seen who I am, I would have squirmed or just flat out disbelieved. What further paradigm [...]
