monday again

hello all. i actually posted on friday... honest. i must of done something wrong.


anyways. back at work after a good but busy weekend. i am moving in less than a week and i'm completely delinquent in packing my apartment. this move is a risk for me. but staying where i'm at is also a risk. i live in a dangerous building and have decided that the risk in moving (the risk is that i will aquire a roommate) is less than the risk of staying. we will see! since living alone for two years, i swore that i would only downgrad to a roommate if i married one. which would be an upgrade really. but alas, cooler heads (and smaller budget) have prevailed. maybe this will break me into the idea of living w/ charlie brown. he would be a great roommate though...

more a little later.

bored

well here i am. i sit at my desk waiting for my new purchase (a palm zire) to charge. then i can play with it! i'm excited; although i was disappointed with my first ebay experience. more soon.

monday

hello again.

after a fairly restful weekend- i am back in the groove of work and life. my weekend highlight was the festival to open a new section of highway. the link is in friday's post. i was surprised how impressed i was by the event. it was a welcomed change from the circuit of ok festivals they have here in columbus.

i also visited a small church plant in delaware county. i really enjoyed the atmosphere. it was a nice change of pace from my mega church ways. in addition, i watched the game, gabbed w/ friends, read the paper, gabbed w/ friends and drank coffee. the weather has been faboo here and i am loving it.

tonight, i am cooking out and perhaps going to the post office group for a reknowned lead that sounds spiritually aligned. we will see!

i love weekends!

not to tire you of my hyperlink obsession...
but i tried it again. so sue me!

i'm anxiously awaiting the start to my weekend which will involve a nice leisurely evening of 'taking care of myself'. this will involve meeting my mom for dinner (and not broaching the subject of my future- b/c she stresses me out when we talk about it); going to a meeting, and to bed early.

the remainder of my weekend will involve sleep, meet the press, church, going to this festival listed above, coffee, friends, reading, and more friends. i am looking forward to it. i recently won my first ebay auction (no longer an ebay virgin), and will be looking in the mail every five minutes for my new palm zire. this is my first plam pilot and i'm estatic to program in all my crap and information. i anticipate becoming type a soon...

i am also visiting some important and influential people in my life w/ whom i have lost touch. they live here in columbus and were very critical to me getting my life in order from the mayhem i had created at 18. my dear mom has felt an increasing burden to counsel me well through my relationship w/ charlie brown. she has asked that i get some trusted input from people like these about our future and someone to "ask the hard questions". i am happy to seek this out and am hopeful that this choice (to visit these particular friends that both she and i respect); is a good choice.

i want my mom to really bless this union between charlie brown and i- and realize that i need to do the footwork (at some level this is another way to put 'jump through the hoops') but leave the results of this footwork to God. we'll see if i can do it!

from the previous paragraphs a sharp reader can deduce that things have progressed well with charlie brown. i must say, falling in love is way better than i thought it would be.

more soon.

bye

well- here i sit at the end of another day...

i have stayed mildly busy and am happy to be on my way soon. i hope that in the near future, i will be able to really tackle this issue i am facing in my life of uncertainty and feeling helpless. this job market sucks! i feel paralyzed to stay in the 'security' of this temp to perm job- but really may end up in the looney bin soon if i don't participate in something that seems meaningful that involves interacting with people, helping to meet needs, or be creative. ideally, the next step in life will involve all.

i heard somewhere that a life map does not involve jumping into your niche at 21 after your done with whatever schooling you took to be 'prepared' for your niche. instead- your 20's should consisit of as many enviornements and expereinces as you like- to expose you to what is out there.

your 30's is choosing where to settle (not literally but moreso calling and vocation)...

and your 40's is where you begin to hit your stride.

my 20's were on track. i lived fun places; did things i wanted etc. but i don't feel anymore prepared to settle. i do know what i want from my life and ministry- but i don't know how to earn $. and i don't think i have it in me to just think of the eight hrs i'm at work daily as just putting my time in to do something i really want to do...

and i'm not sure that God made me that way (no judgement statements here).

thinking again about nursing school.

tomorrow i will tell you how things are unfolding about charlie brown.

onward and upward good people!

almost friday

if all of you wonderful and loyal readers out there are wondering my work status- i am at a different place than i was in may. i am still in the land of indentured servants- i mean temporary workers. my job has some interesting aspects and i am grateful for the highest wage since leaving my 'real job'. i really can't complain! but of course- i do :(

still trying unsuccessfully to use the hyper link feature and personalize the links. but to no avail! atleast i can see the links to personalize...

tonight i am meeting a woman who is loosing her father to cancer. i hope that i can be of some support and comfort to her. i know that the journey of watching my dad die has changed me forever. b/c this is the 2nd anniversary of the attacks on our country- it reminds me how little our country knows about grief and how to experience and use it in our lives. i pray that God would continue to give grace to those in need, to this woman tonight, and to me- as i continue to miss my dad.

i will try and update the events that have unfolded since my first bloggin stint in may sometime today.

what?

is this working?

i'm back in the saddle!
