spinning

i was thinking today about who my worst enemy is. considering myself a rather peaceful person, i am happy to say i don't have many people in that category. it ended up being a toss up between cindy mackow, my childhood best friend who was actually evil, or Joyce, my former CE director at the church in Bowie, who was legally insane, in my opinion. either one, i would not wish panic attacks on, which i suffer from. i can only explain them as feeling like you are spinning and drowning and unable to breathe. ok... maybe i wish them on Joyce... i kid...

juicy

for all my fashion friends out there you will appreciate how beautiful this picture is. it's stunning actually. brings a tear to my eye. for my less fashionable friends out there, juicy couture is a high end designer and as the tag proves i got a $139 sweater for $19 this evening. and that... is just fabulous.

candle

i was looking at these pretty candle holders i have in my window today. i bought them in sweden about 9 years ago and i just love them.

sprouts

whenever i see sprouts, i think of my friend Miranda. she was one of my best pals at north park university and i remember we would make sandwiches with bagels, turkey, cheese, mustard and sprouts and then eat them on the fire escape of her apartment, which had a great view of downtown Chicago. sprouts just add the perfect crunch and taste. so tonight when i bought some and added them to my sandwich for dinner, i thought of her.

writting

like an idiot, i agreed to give the sermon one week at my church. so today i have been working a ton on writing it. eeek! nervous! it reminds me of college a little. i have known that i have been preaching since february, but i just started writing it today. ahhh the memories. but at least i still have a few weeks before the big day. i can't say the same for college papers.

mick

ok, this is just funny to me. my friend scott's christmas gift this year was a year subscription to rolling stone magazine. i was enjoying the most recent copy and randomly placed a few bobby pins on the magazine when getting ready and found one of the pins resting like this on mick jaggers lip. made me laugh.

john

as some of you may be aware, i have an odd relationship with john lennon. for about a month and a half of my life, john lennon was in every single one of my dreams. every. single. night. this happened when i was in college (about the time i was losing my mind trying to finish my senior thesis) and ever since, i have been fascinated with him. this has lead me to be a giant beatles fan, as well as his solo career. i agree with some of his views on peace and love but there are things john and i don't agree on. either way, he's a part of me, good or bad:) here is picture of him doing what he did (arguably) better than anyone else.

fan

i would like to introduce you to my very best friend from the months may to september, my fan. my apartment is un-airconditioned and this little fella helps me cool down, especially after a workout or when i am trying to sleep. i can't imagine what i would do without it.

thank you Mr. Gershwin

Life is just a bowl of cherries So live and laugh, aha! Laugh and love Live and laugh, Laugh and love, Live and laugh at it all!

procrastination

grrrr. darn my internet connection, its been down all weekend but appears to be back to normal. so anyway, here are a few pictures i took at my parents house as a way to procrastinate writing the sermon i was supposed to be writing. enjoy.
