| To blog, or not to blog... |
That shouldn't be a question.
I am a delinquent blogger. I am.
There have been great things happening that I could blog about, but I haven't.
Why?
Honestly, I don't know why.
Maybe it's because when all the exciting things happen, I don't have time to blog. Or maybe because other people blog about all the good stuff and I feel unoriginal if I say anything about the event so I say nothing at all. Or maybe it's just because I'm a bad blogger.
Yea, could be that one.
Okay, so I'll see if I can sum up all the interesting happenings.
Interesting Happening #1
As I mentioned in my last post, I went on this great trip and I got to see my family, most of whom I haven't seen in a few years. T'was great. My mommy is as sweet as ever, my dad is as talkative as ever, my niece & nephews are as cute as ever, & Nate & Ali are as wonderful as ever. Their Home was super nice to me and let me be nice & lazy while I was there. They gave me my own room with a bathroom & didn't put me on dinner or dishes while I was there. :-D I was running off of a two-hour time difference, so slept in later every day (their 7:00 a.m. was my 5:00 a.m....), then I had to get Word time & fit in some work every day & hang out with my parents, so the Home really didn't see much of me actually...they really didn't miss out on much, I promise. Heh.
It was so, so nice and restful though. Just what I needed.
Thanks for having me, guys!
Interesting Happening #2:
I traveled alone, cross-country in Mexico, on a bus.
What made it super interesting is that I don't speak a word of Spanish.
Yes, that was very, very interesting.
Thankfully most Mexicans are very sweet, obliging people and though we couldn't communicate too well I made it to all of my destinations on time and in one piece thanks to their help.
My very hary-scary experience was when they dropped me off at my bus stop...which wasn't a bus stop at all....
It was the side of the road.
A dusty road.
A scary dusty road.
I wrote a big long blog post about this experience but I didn't post it because I think I came across as...traumatized...or something...and I don't want people to think that I didn't immenseley enjoy my vacation.
(I had great fun. Don't you worry)
Interesting Happening #3:
I visited a great Home that I've heard all about but had never been to before.
It was wonderful.
Lots of fun.
Tons of amazing people.
I learned great lessons in the short time that I was there. I found out that it doesn't matter how much you learn, grow, and change, you will always be judged for who you were before, and if you were a problem in the past it will forever make your future painful and awkward.
I don't ever want to do that again. FYI.
I went to bed early. Left early the next day. Didn't mean to cause a fuss.
Interesting Happening #4:
I got to see my wayward sister. Heh. Nah, she's great. I was so happy to see her. It was quite the experience trying to figure out a way to meet up as she lives quite a few hours away, but the Lord worked it out, just like I told her He would (He's nice like that). We even got to spend a couple of bonus days together. It was great. Pictures are soon forthcoming.
Interesting Happening #5:
Had a bit of a scare when I got Home and found out that my nephew had chicken pox and I didn't know it (none of our kids have had chicken pox yet) but that was quickly remedied by me taking a hot, hot shower and washing anything and everything that I took with me on vacation (and having desperate prayer, of course).
Interesting Happening #6:
Ruthie had her birthday party! Woohoo! It was great fun. I tried my hardest to be "in the hood" but someone told me that I looked like I was going to a wedding...
Oh well.
I tried.
Really, I did.
Getting there was intense. We got stuck in traffic for two hours, which made us super late, which meant that by the time we got there there were only warm drinks left (blech!) and all the good songs had already played. Don't worry, I hail Connie & Ruthie for their fabulous efforts on the playlist for the night, I simply recognize that due to the lateness of the evening by the time I arrived that there was nothing to be done as all the good songs had been danced to.
Thankfully by the time I got there all the cameras had been put away! Hurrah! So no photos of me. Yay!
Someone please remind me that I still need to give Ruthie birthday money...
Interesting Happening #7:
I moved countries. Completely & totally.
I cooked my first dinner in the new kitchen, washed my first dishes, set up my bed just the way I like it, attempted to organize my clothing, failed at organizing my clothing (don't have a dresser yet), and worked in a new office.
It was exciting.
As you can probably imagine from this great amount of interesting and exciting things that have been happening in my life, I am exhausted. So I shall shut up now. My next blog post shall be nothing but pictures.
I have run out of words.
Long live love! |

You said "I found out that it doesn't matter how much you learn, grow, and change, you will always be judged for who you were before, and if you were a problem in the past it will forever make your future painful and awkward." - Do you really think so? Or are you saying that because someone judged you?
I posted some comments on my blog about this...
Sorry though, as it seems sad that people would label and judge from the past.

I probably spoke rashly with the above quote. Sometimes it just seems that some mistakes you make you will never be able to get away from. Those are the ones that come back and haunt you, often in the form of others who have not forgotten and thus cannot let you forget either. That's what hurts...
It is, of course, my own fault. I made the mistakes, so it is justly my cross to bear. I suppose I was simply flinching at the weight of it...

IC! - Battle wounds that we inflict on ourselves. - Would be interesting to find out how the Lord sees those, but that does make sense. P4U!

One of the Issues talks about that... judging ppl for who they were and not who they are. Sad!.. I guess some ppl are stuck in the past.
It was great having you over..and so, so, so sorry about the chiken pox scare.
Life is exciting!!
Love, Ali

It was wonderful to see you again and spend such special time with you. We are so very very thankful and if we're allowed to say it proud of the wonderful, Godly, loving, woman that you are and are continuing to grow into. I know the road has been tough, but the perfume coming from your squeezing is truly beautiful....
WLY xxooxx

I found it - its in "Shooting Straight #6". - "Judging People by Their Past".
