I always have way too many things on my mind. I kind of feel that it is necessary to share the craziness that clutters my mind on a daily basis. Enjoy!
I'm pretty sure traffic intends to teach me patience on a daily basis. I've decided that instead of getting upset at the stupid Salem drivers, I'll just enjoy whatever is playing on my iPod.
I love living downtown! It's so nice to be within walking distance of so many great places (especially the mall & the coffee shops). I can walk to the Book Bin & hang out for hours. Also, the Beanery makes vegan cookies! I LOVE them...oh man, if I could I'd buy a big ol' fatty box of them & munch on them daily. If that was the case, there would be no point in me being vegan in order to be healthy...I'm pretty sure even if they are vegan cookies that doesn't make them "weight loss cookies." Oh well...there goes that brilliant plan.
God has been refining me a lot lately. I am learning to blossom where He plants me & make the most of every situation I'm placed in. This refining process hasn't been easy, but I know it will make me a stronger person on the other end.
In my blackberry I create many different types of lists. Lists of actors & actresses I like, scriptures to meditate on when I'm struggling with anxiety, books I want to read, clothing items I need to buy, gift ideas, movies I should see, quotes I love, my grocery shopping list, etc... One list, however, is a list of songs that I want to purchase on iTunes. When I was living in Boston, I would buy music & movies like crazy! I have started making lists of songs that I want in order to reduce my spending on music. My list is currently at fifty songs.
Oprah's ending her show! I know it's about a year away, but still! I'm very sad that her show will be no more, but I'm excited about this new cable network she's cooking up!
Speaking of cooking, it's been quite a challenge to figure out new recipes that are vegan. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it! I also appreciate my wonderful friends & family who have been supportive through this new life change.
I don't have cable...I don't even own a television! I don't have internet & I basically stay current on events through email news updates to my phone & whatever other websites & can view on my blackberry. I don't really mind it so much...I'm just glad I have friends. :)
Usually I avoid discussing politics at all costs, but has anyone been watching what's been going on? Seriously! It's crazy stuff!! Anyone who thinks "ignorance is bliss" should rethink their theory because whether or not you know what the state of the government is currently it will affect you greatly.
I have been working on some Christmas songs to sing at December's jam night...I am very excited about it! I am very lucky to be able to sing with some AMAZING musicians.
There you go...a little insight into my head.
