My God is an AWESOME God... He reigns from heaven above...

I feel so blessed right now!
I had a great time with my friends. Those awesome girls treated me to dinner! Then we rented a couple of movies and painted our nails and stayed up too late. Just like the good old days. ;-)
I had catfish for the first time... I was a little leery, but then I tried it.. and inhaled the rest :-D

Yesterday I played chauffeur and took my sister to her biology class. I got to dissect a fish! I was feeling a little nauseous by the time we finished... but it was very enlightening.
Then I went to the chiro and got my neck cracked - HAPPY DAY. I was disappointed, though, because I thought I wouldn't perpetually feel like I needed to crack it anymore - but I still do. I guess it's a bad habit now.


Today I organized the laundry room... then took my sisters out to see friends' new kitties and puppy. We need some babies around here again!
Then I visited their youth group... I like it.

This morning, I read that verse following Paul's statement about being the foremost, aka most pathetic, of all sinners - 1 Timothy 1:15. Anyway, I read 1:16. It's good.
"But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience..."
I love my Jesus. I love that He uses my pathetic, oft-wasted day-to-day life to demonstrate His perfection and goodness and awesome love!

And now I'm going to bed at ELEVEN O'CLOCK and I'm SO EXCITED!!!

So good night!

Thank you, Jesus, for yummy food. And coffee.

I have been looking for an online Bible website that doesn’t look so.. outdated.. ?.. and I’ve finally found one! The YouVersion Bible site is AWESOME! It is also my new home page… maybe now I can keep my Facebook addiction in check. Here is a little picture:

Guess what fabulous lunch I’m having today!

3 eggs

minus yucky white baby things

plus broccoli and mozzarella cheese

and salt for flavor

and a drizzle of ranch

equals DELICIOUS! I’m all done now, but my mouth is watering just talking about it. I can’t get enough of frittatas!

Add in coffee, and I am in palatable heaven. Mmm.
But enough about food. We spent Easter at my grandma’s. My sister bought a horse on Saturday (We may name it Chica, Cheeky for short. Which isn’t shorter at all.). And today my bestest friend is coming over for a slumber party! So now I have to clean the disaster that is my bedroom… and pull out my Bible. I’ve been really bad about that the last few days. *bummed face*
Thank goodness for Psalm 52:7, eh?

HUZZAH, spring break has arrived!

Ooh! I tried Windows Live Writer once and I didn’t like it very much. Now I’m trying it again, and I think it is much improved! :-) All the same, it's still making my post a little funny...

Well… let’s see. I’m trying to get a lot accomplished when I'm at home. While, of course, staying up as late as long as I can stay awake and sleeping as late as I am able - My dad considers it his duty to destroy any notions we have of sleeping in and is always banging on the door before 9:00am. Horrors!

I hid slept in my sister’s room last night, on the floor behind her bed. He found me anyway.

Today I cleaned the fishbowl, started the laundry, made a couple of phone calls, and hit the thrift stores with my sisters. I found a futon I’d really like for $100… so maybe I can work out a deal with my parents and get it before I have to return to school.

I wish I had something interesting to write about, but I don’t. I think my writing mechanism is turned off.

Tonight I watched Princess Diaries 2 (love Chris Pine!). I wanted to start on the season of Monk that we found at the library, but it’s just getting too late. *Yawn*

(My room is still buggy and rather arctic in temperature. No thank you.)

In closing, here are some pictures from a “Spy Banquet” the boys threw for us at school (I’m the one with red shoes - the 1st is a couple of girls and I being silly, the 2nd is my roomie and I, and the 3rd is our junior class), and a favorite quote from Romans 1:16. G’nite!
