ah yes, today is a caribou-free day. i'm still in my jammers sipping on coffee (so not completely caribou-free). just had two croissants and i'm wearing clogs. ahhhh... i read some blogs and am just really enjoying listening to addie snoring before i head off to the job search portion of my online extravaganza. it's so nice that fall is coming. not winter though, i hate winter. fall is nice. and i have all the coffee and friends episodes i need to make today a wonderful day off. (mumzy bought me season 10 at costco!) oo! and tonight is return of the jedi night. i couldn't be more thrilled.

i made a committment to the girls last night that i would talk to god more. i want to be successful in that but i already feel like maybe it's a lost cause. i really don't want to be the only loser in french class who has no idea what the hell is going on because i just don't understand the language. i have to remind myself of what annie told me, which is that my "checklist" should be to be quiet and have no checklist. i like that idea. i also have to make sure i don't ramble on and on. renae and i both pointed out on numerous occasions how the question would only be answered if i went full circle with it. sometimes it's doubtful when i'm staring at the other side but don't worry, i try to come back. heather is not like that. she is a linear talker who is good and eloquent and good. (hahaha) i really appreciate people like that. hollie is like that too. another tangent: annie told the three of us that we already knew each other, etc. but to still say a little something something about ourselves. she was kind of right, but i was also very happy to learn a lot about andie and heather and to see them not as my friends but as people who have a story with god. it's very different to see someone objectively like that and to love them more because of it. man, i have missed that. i'm a little skeptical of the naughty place book, however. the wisest people i have talked to or read from always end up saying that the more they know and the older they become, the more they realize how much they don't know. so christian living-type books leave a TERRIBLE taste in my mouth. we shall see.

ok, time for more coffee and august 28th jobs.

ps- i hate it in books when ok is written as OK. it's mean. "i was ok" turns into, "i was fucking OK, damn you!" so if you say you're OK i might not believe it.

You know I didn't know that either until a few months ago. I mean I knew it, but didn't realize it.

Ps- you're not allowed to post comments until after i edit the blog entry! BOO!

Christian literature can be kind of hit or miss --- and to be honest, it's mostly a miss. Like a lot of bullshit wrapped in pretty pink packages with bows and stuff.

But when someone can see deeply enough to avoid trivializing our faith and deep struggles at the same time as saying something useful, and actually has the sense in their brain to write how apply it to everyday life, it can really be a guide. And it can expose you to points of view you might not otherwise be able to see.
