currently excited about: singing and praising this weekend at potter's wheel in mount olive
currently drinking: sierra mist in a can
miscellaneous thoughts:
i love dove beauty products. i actually think i've said that before, but their campaign for real beauty is such a wonderful and honest portrayal of women's beauty!
i know this is the most shallow thing ever, but let me just tell you, i live vicariously through the hills.
wow, how opposite can i be from one paragraph to the next?
well see, they live such glamorous lives, with exquisite fashion and romance and pretty shiny things. sometimes i wish i had that kind of life, and then other times i experience and know the joy from simplicity. i have known the joy of working so hard, of having nothing and experiencing grace to receive what i need.
but oh! the dancing and the lace lingerie and satin ball gowns, the string quartets and foreign cities and, even better... foreign boys!
i had a little taste of glamour (and NOT glamour, i.e.: broadway hotel and hostel) in new york city this past Easter weekend. i traveled with the gospel choir to sing for some Easter celebrations, but the rest of the time we could do whatever we pleased! some of my favorite memories are:
eating pizza and buying apples in soho
starbucks in the morning across the street
black tuxedo pencil skirt
my first black purse
exploring
laughing with katie henry
seeing the lights of downtown manhattan at night
and finding the most authentic jazz club "smalls" in greenwich village
i missed seeing my family this weekend. but i WILL get to sleep in my own, green sheeted, full-sized bed at home tomorrow night. yeeeah!
four more weeks of classes. i think i can, i think i can, i think i can.
