>I want to go hike and camp in Ozark National Forest. I have riden through it by car and motorcycle more than thrice, but I haven’t done enough hiking in it. I need to put this aluminum hiking backpack to use. October 25ish- when the leaves are turning and it isn’t too too cold. Any…
>I have not blogged in a long time. I have less time than I used to have. And I have enough company that I need not use this space to replace socialization. I get plenty of “social” at work (there are few places more social than a high school-granted they are all 6-7 years younger…
>Walking down the terminal- Southwest Airlines adds on the walls made me think. The theme sentence between four posters was “hard day?”. Poster 1: A business man fixing a printer with ink exploded on his face and looking frustratedPoster 2: Zoomed in on a broken business high heel shoePoster 3: A dog eating a Black…

>Camp ended. I got to be a counselor the last week! That was pretty much amazing. I had gotten pretty comfortable in my kitchen role and prayed that God would present a way to stretch me a little more the last week and He did. The director grabbed me about an hour and a half…
>God tends to do this at Pine Cove… PC puts you in a position out of your comfort zone where you are not prepared and dont really know what you’re doing and then gives a lot of responsibility in it. So you pretty much cant do it yourself; maybe you can push through a week…
>Mom took fire work pictures for the newspaper tonight (she’s a photographer and sports writer). So I tagged along and took some shots too. It was fun- very fourth of Julyish. Sitting itchy in the middle of a flat field. kids and toddlers running around squealing in the dark- so dark that the only reason…
>I sent wonderful Dana a text message that said, “I classified myself today. I am a sitting indian style in a coffee shop with a flower in my hair kind of a girl. And you, you are a doing a toe touch on a scottish highland hilltop with a flower in your hair kind of…
>I have too many interests. Mom and I are watching videos of Asleep at the Wheel and Bob Wills’: Cherokee Maiden, Boogie Back to Texas, Route 66, San Antonio Rose, Steel Guitar Rag and Hot Rod Lincoln. It reshows me just how much I love this country singing country dancing culture and why would I…
>I was looking for something specific but found it not. mostly because I got distracted by other ones. Ones about you know what- not the ones I was looking for. Either way, I enjoyed reading through them. It is strange to still be able to see two-year-old tear stains on journal pages and to read…
>Dad and I just went on a 2 hour motorcycle ride. We drove north over the meadow and through the woods and beside the lake and upon the hills at dusk. It was wonderful. We talked about salvation and missions and lifegoals and reasonability of life goals and about men. and about how confusing women…
>I’m in Dallas. Sorting things out ^2. My foot is improving- MRI came back that I didn’t tear those ligaments afterall. A pretty-darn-bad sprain and bone bruise. So I am still in the bigblackboot and I can walk around in it almost comfortably but still utilize the crutches for long distances. I’m heading to camp…
>I am listening to the Women’s Breakaway sermon from 2007 (again- you’d think I’d learn by now) and the speaker, Christy Nockles (sp?) is amazing. She tells me all these things that I know yet do not know about myself as a woman and when I hear it I get excited and cry at the…
>I’m teaching US History to 11th graders at in Garland ISD/ NE Dallas. They are the Naaman Rangers. The mascot looks like a hunter green Sarge! First Varsity football game is August 29th! NFHS is built on a 62.13 acre site, which backs up to a natural forest preserve on one side and can be…

>9:30 AM.I’m wearing that thrift store redbird shirt and the Haworth thrift store oldman plaid authentic british driving cap. Rings, bracelets, tasseled necklace, and dangly fair trade earrings. lipstick. my hair is pinned up inside the cap like Joan of Arc and I like it. I feel like I fit in here in Austin pretty…
>I drew a big flower in my journal. half the petals were attached and half had been pulled off. It seems to me that the “he loves me. he loves me not. he loves me. he loves me not.” petal-plucking game that girls play should be a thoughtful dream stage not a semi-annual reality sequence….
>I didn’t write this. Nick Thorn did about a year ago and he emailed it to me while i was in englad. I was pleased to come upon it so I thought I’d copy and paste it here because I dont think Nick would mind. Nick, may I quote you? “I have this weird fascination…
>I’d rather either blow really hard at the dandelion or put it in a vacuum and not look at it anymore. Pulling individual spores sounds less dramatic than it would be. PinterestFacebookTwitterEmail
>dinner was curious like normal. I have too many apples so I mixed them into yet another dish of butter and assorted white-cheesified pasta because when you are single, you have to eat from the same packages like 5 times before you run out. good for things that don’t expire fast but bad for things…
>news is better than bad. Detached two ligaments around my ankle bone but those don’t require surgery and should heal quickly- like 2-3 weeks they will be strong enough to walk with a little ankle brace. Tendons look promising, but he is not sure because it is still so inflamed. I had nearly convinced myself…
>John 2:1-12. Jesus was at this wedding in Cana and they ran out of wine. oh no. So Mary, his mom, asked Jesus to take care of it. He initially said, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not come.” She basically ignored him and told the servants to do…
>not really. So I was attacking this V.2 bouldering route on the rock wall at approx 8:30pm… I had worked my way up about 12 or 13 feet and had just finished a cross over and a practical split to the far left. My arms and legs were spread out like a jumping jack at…
>today i went back and read the things that i wrote about last june. i was excited. haha. particularly june 15. i wrote a little on there about me as a woman dressing up pretty and i cant decide if i am supporting or contradicting myself in what i wrote about that the other day….
>I’m doing good. I’m having fun this summer. Sometimes I run around and just live without thinking. Sometimes when I stop to think or think on accident, I think excitedly and sometimes disappointedly. I’m excited about being where I am right now and doing what I am doing right now and I am excited about…
>It’s what we’ve all been waiting for. They finally started the road construction outside of wesley. You walk out the door and feel like you are in a prison where ever you turn because the tall wire fences surround you. But a happy prison because hey, it’s wesley. The wooden pickets on the far end…
>Baty and I did legs and abs today but then I went rock climbing so I got arms and shoulders in too! I climbed with Stephanie. I like her. I think if now were two years ago and we were both her age, we would be good buds. I climbed two 5.9s and two 5.10s….
>I want to go dancing. My hiphop class was postponed to wednesday. sad me.I’m going rock climbing with steph tomorrow. I found my gear. glad me. Still working out daily. Like it alot. Baty is accompanying me tomorrow.Spent two hours in starbucks today. Conversed with a Muslim and an unreligious guy that knows alot about…
>Women do enjoy dressing up. We play dress up when we are little girls then run up to daddy and ask, “do I look beautiful?!” and spin in a circle so that he can watch our skirt twirl. We spend a whole day getting ready for prom and ring dance and take our time to…
>I want to see the movie, Once. I’ve been listening to the soundtrack and it plays my style of music. http://youtube.com/watch?v=qx8yLvb0gZM. You know how weird coincidences happen sometimes? I was writing the word, “Once,” and Sleeping Beauty was playing on my i-Tunes and the prince sang, “I know you, I walked with you ONCE upon…
