Pictures!!

Ok, call me an Ent, call me slow, I don't care, but I'm just now figuring out how to get pictures with my posts. Did you see I figured out how to do the mood thing? Question though, it says I can only have three pictures. Is that because I just have a free account? Or is that how it is for all of you? Just wondering.

A good night

I have to journal this before the feeling goes away. I'm feeling so good/content/happy right now. I'm not totally sure why, but I'm afraid it's going to go away so I had journal about it quick. I have a few minutes before I start work. First off, I slept almost all day. When I got up I had coffee (always a good thing) and called my friend Crystal who was going to be in town for a bowling tourny. She and I were gonna get together to just chat or what not as long as she was in town. We decided to come back to my house as she had not seen my pics from California yet and also had not seen Billy on Sharon or Lij on Leno. So, we did all those things I just mentioned. For those who don't know, Crystal was instrumental to me in getting the scrapbook done. I couldn't have done it without her and her personallity is one that is just infectious. She is always so happy and fun to be around. I just love her. Anyway, we looked at my pictures while I told her about the weekend and then we watched the Sharon show (that I had already seen) and the Leno show (that I hadn't) The Leno show was really good!! He really spent alot of time talking to Lij and here is one of the things I think that is contributing to my good mood right now. If any of you have seen it, then you've seen the thing with the girl in the audience. You know how Lij almost went out into the audience and the camera focused on her alot. That girl, whoever she has to still be on cloud nine right now. I wish I knew who she was, I mean, I wish it had been a ringer I knew sitting there like that. Can you imagine if that was our dear True? or Lizmybit? LOL!!! Here's the really neat thing though....a year ago, heck, 6 months ago...if I'd seen that, I would have been feeling somewhat jealous. Feeling like I really wish I could have been there in that audience. That I could have been that girl to get all that attention. But today I feel a total peace about it. I'm not jealous at all. Oh I know that if that had been me, I would have loved it, but I'm not jealous that it wasn't. I can truly enjoy that girls excitment and leave it right there. This is a milestone for me. I think the events of the Oscar weekend have begun for me a new phase of my fandom. It is no longer important that I get to meet all these actors (though I wouldn't say no to an opportunity) What I find in me more these days is an overwhelmign desire to meet and be with more ringers. I miss all the people from Toronto, from LA and those that I have not been able to meet yet. Someone a while ago mentioned (in jest) a LOTR Commune. Where we could all live and work together in Lotr geeky bliss. I'm beginning to think that would be a good idea. LOL!!I'm always so happy just after I've been with ringers. Ok, well, time to go to work now. Love you all!!!!

Lyrics from on...

Lyrics from one of my favorite Jennifer Knapp songs:Jennifer Knapp - Refine MeI come into this placeBurning to receive Your peaceI come with my own chainsFrom wars I’ve fought for my own selfish gainYou’re my God and my FatherI’ve accepted Your SonBut my soul feels so empty nowWhat have I become?Lord, come with Your fireBurn my desires refine meLord, my will has deceived mePlease come and free meRefine me, refine meMy heart can’t seeWhen I only look at meMy soul can’t hearWhen I only think of my own fearsThey are gone in a momentYou’re forever the sameWhy did I look away from You?How can I speak Your name?Lord, come with Your fireBurn my desires refine meLord, my will has deceived mePlease come and free meCome rescue this childFor I long to be reconciled to YouRefine meAll I can doIs lift my heart, my soul to YouAnd pray, and pray, Oh I will pray

Aaahh...aaahhhh....Choooooo!!!!

Dust bunnies everywhere. Gah!!!! *ah chooo* How can just one room get sooooo dusty? I feel like I'm in Moria. Seriously! I mean, blowing the dust off of books and everything. No skeletons foud so far, but there's still a chance!! Sheesh!

Stuff!!!

Ok, so I opted for cleaning the house rather than the movie. I know, not the fun option but since the day started with me sleeping in and then my hubby screaming at the kids about how messy the house was, I felt guilted into staying home and cleaning up. sighYou know what I really hate though...my house is so full of clutter and clutter build up, I can't just decide to clean one room because as soon as I do that, I find that there are so many other area's that need to be worked on and I'm so ADD I can't just focus on one thing long enough to feel as if I've accomplished anything. On the plus side, church tonight was really good. It had a really calming effect on me. It was a good way to end the day. Tomorrow I'm going to begin in earnest to un-mathom my house. Wish me luck!

Decisions, decisions....

Ok, so I totally blew off yesterday in terms of getting anything done. I went to my son's fun fair, took a nap, played on the computer and watched the rest of the first season of "24" on DVD, then went to bed. My plan for today was to get some stuff done since I did so little yesterday, but now today is here and I have to desire to do anything. Actually, I really want to go see either Hidalgo or ROTK again (seeing as how it won't be around much longer), but I'm feeling so guilty about going to a movie when my house is so messy. Gaaahhhhh!!!!!But, being here and typing up this journal entry isn't helping, so off I go to do "something". Mood today: blah!
