The weather in Sacramento has been really amazing lately. Real nice. Today I rode my bike about town jumping from one errand to the next, I like that this town affords me that luxury. Bad news: A wee lil fly attacked my eyeball. He was real strong and smart because he managed to get around my glasses. It was terrifying for a moment as I lost a bit of control.
I feel like things have been busy lately but I guess I am just occupying lots of my time with things that I love but generally don't allow myself the time for. Reading, Writing, Listening to some super sweet sermons online....just brushing up on things you know? I am still not checking facebook or myspace and I really miss it. Who knew the withdrawls would be so intense? Easter is here in about 3 weeks. I can do this.
I joined a book club. I am really into it. I was a total loser, didn't read the first book but as I type the next book is sitting next to me so I am planning to jump on that tonight. Get a head start you know?
I am feeling like a lame-o tonight, not much to share. Maybe I am just sleepy. Just know that life is good. I will be in so cal soon so maybe I can see some of you. That would be neat.

Dear Home,
I made it back to Sacramento safely. In one piece. The trusty ol t-bird made good time. She's a real gem. I only stopped twice, at well lit filling stations. It was 4am when I walked into my house, I was so sleepy. I am definitely feeling the bummer of only 5 hours of sleep after 6 of driving. Hopefully that means that I will sleep real good tonight. Home, I will see you in April. I can't wait.
xo.

I am forgetful when filled with joy.
I realize that I am late with the surprise news but I am sure that anyone who really cares already knows that I am in Long Beach. I was supposed to hear John Perkins preach in Walnut Creek this weekend so I have Sunday free...so I decided to jump in the car and head for home, I was planning to leave here on Saturday to make it back for Perkins but I found out that he had to cancel so I am staying the extra day. I have already had some really great times with friends and family, every trip home makes it harder and harder to go back to Sacramento. I miss things here terribly. I spent this evening with Ryan and Rachel (also, the wee VerWys') and it was great to catch up , only issue is that it made me miss this place even more. My idealism is at its peak among fellow dreamers, especially dreamers who tell me that AmeriCorps is not only for those with a completed college education. The good news is that through this time I am gaining the confidence to start praying and seeking my place.
We are losing an hour tonight. Bummed! So instead of 11PM, its really midnight. That is lame.

I have a surprise.
But I can't tell you until tomorrow because right now I am working...I know. It's midnight and I am working, I got the worship songs late and I need to have my stuff done by noon tomorrow so it is crunch time.
Come back here tomorrow.
Until then watch these videos and love them!

My Lame Lame Nose
My allergies are real bad. My nostrils are so clogged up. I can't get comfortable enough to sleep. It is 3 AM. I am bummed. Also, I left my vicks tissues in my car and it is cold and rainy so walking outside does not sound awesome right now.
This is the lamest.
