About Me

I am constantly a work in progress. I am just now starting to realize that I am okay with that. I always want to do better. I want to live with passion. I want my life to mean something.
I need to improve on a lot of things. I am not cool. I am not entirely sure how to flirt. I dry my hair upside down. I get distracted easily and lose my train of thought. I start to read books and lose interest. I watch too much TV and spend too much money. I wish I was more adventureous. I hate to drive.
I like: Target, Comfy pj's, getting text messages, big earings, good grammer, funky glasses, nature, puppies, chocolate, great bargains, things that are bright yellow, the smell of dirt, gerber daisies, laughing at bad jokes, pouring rain, a good cup of coffee, journals, cooking yummy food, and children playing.
This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

This girl....

This girl is stretched to her limits. She is officially feeling the strain of the many demands on her meager capacity. She's tired, her skin is lacking lustre, she has eye bags, she hates her hair, sh...

Lily pads and leaps

"My coming to faith did not start with a leap, but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned me and then...

I hate Facebook

Whenever I log in- I get so confused. It's like sensory overload. Werewolves, zombies, superpokes, superwalls, books, movies, music, event invites, and then it tells me what everyone ...

I hate interior design...

... okay, maybe that is a small lie. But, really it's somewhat overwhelming. Choosing paint colors is like choosing a puppy from a shelter. I want them all. I need your help! Se...

Simplicity

I was thinking today about how simple my faith is. Then I was wondering if it really should be so simple. Then I decided that- yes, it should be simple. But, where do I decide to dra...

A little of this. A little of that.

I feel like I should update you all on my life. But, really... there is not so much to say. I am dog-on tired right now. My body kinda hurts and my contacts are blurry. Yet, I ...
