Why do I go to the nosiest places in order to have quiet time? I am splurging and getting a pedicure today and then was going to Starbucks for some quiet time. But, they don't open for a while so I am at Starbucks. It's busy but I am thinking that I will type how I am feeling now rather than what I usually do. I usually write in my journal and then that's when you see a bunch of posts at the the same time b/c I just copied from my journal. Sometimes or really all of the time it helps to write down how I am feeling or what I am reading. Man, I have been doing a lot of reading. Jenny and I went to the library and my card has been used so many times that I had to get a whole new one!
I am helping, or I asked if I could help with the Reading Bowl at school. I think I wrote before that 3-5 graders read as much as they can from 17 books and then go to a school and answer questions about them. My friend had her daughter in it last year and our school was said to do pretty well. They had thought that it would be not random but generic questions about the book, who the people were, themes, but they found that it was more about the little things in the books. So, I was told that the kids would begin meeting weekly after Christmas break and then they would choose the real 5 or 6 that would be in the bowl. Well, after my reading so many books this summer, you would think that I would be tired but I wasn't. I wasn't keeping count, but noticed that I had read the books from the our school library and there were some I hadn't. I printed off the list and now know that I have read 13 out of the 17 books already! When I went to the library on Saturday I got the last three that I would be reading b/c two books I don't think I could make myself read through. So, I am excited to help out in any way that I can with the bowl.
What else? You can tell when I am in a funk or I am questioning things by the shortness and the color of my hair. I think that at times I can't change what's going on inside or can't change things in my life, so I choose to change what I can. And so since I am trying not to buy alot of things this month and I like the longness of my hair, hair color change was the option. So, on the way home yesterday from the library I bought for $4.49 at Walgreens hair color. After watching a movie last night I put it on my hair and now I am dark brown. It's a difference and that's really what I want each time. For someone or for me to be able to notice the change. B/c I had a little bit of reddish in it, you can still see some red but it is darker brown now.
I go through wanting a tattoo and then changing my mind. Where would I put it? I already have tiny hearts on my back that even when I wear a bathing suit you can't even see them. What would I get? I know for a fact that I would get a cross. I simple one. Simple enough that it would be just two black lines. I am really thinking about on my lower ankle. You can put socks on it and it will be small enough not to notice. I have even looked on websites to get ideas and also to read about ankle tattoos. My other tattoo I got when I was again in a tiff with a boyfriend. Over my younger years, I got a tattoo, more ear piercings and a belly button ring when I broke up or was in a tiff with a guy. I know that wasn't a good thing and I think at the times I didn't consciously do it for those facts, but when I look back I can see that at the times that I got those things, I hated Guys. Or hated one guy in particular.
What also is there is that at times I think I need a date. A date on the calendar I mean to have something. I will start this eating right at the beginning of the month. I will do this on my birthday. This will happen......on this date..... What I need to realize or know is that everyday is special to God. Every day is special to God that I want to be in relationship to Him. I don't have to have a reason or a date for anything.
Well, I will close for now.
