I like blackberries, the office and coffee. I do not like Pam.

Remember when I said I lost my cord thingy for my camera? Turns out that it was late and dark and somehow I didnt think to turn on the light and look under the checkbook....stop judging me.

SO, i know I said I would show you what my face looked like when I had bad bad bad allergies. As it turns out I am not that brave so just believe me when I say that it was bad...oh geez, really the picture is bad.

Instead I will show you my trial run with Kanye shades. Good huh? Sara and I are endlessly entertained by trying on sunglasses at Target. These were my favorite.

And since I think blogging without photos is lame I will share this with you for good measure.


The biggest croissant I have ever consumed and an americano from Temple...come to Sacramento I will buy you this!

Got back from Long Beach Monday, it was super. Went to see Bonnie Prince Billy in LA. I love him.

I feel like I have nothing important or exciting to share. I think I need more coffee....we'll talk soon.

Stream of Consciousness...again.

I was going to post some pictures of things that are silly but I can't find my camera cord. I think I left it at the office. I am lame.

So it has been lots of days since my last post. Along with Facebook and MySpace I suppose I have given up blogging. Either that or I am just lazy. Yeah, lazy. Also, I don't like blogging without photos and I've been pretty awful with the camera lately.

Coming to So Cal tomorrow. Going to the Bonnie Prince Billy show which I am real excited about.

Allergy season is here. I have real bad allergies. At this moment my eyes are watering, my nose is all plugged up and my eyelids are swollen half shut. I wish I had my camera cord. I would post a picture right now. It is gross. Wait...I am going to take a picture to share later, remind me. Oh geez, that's bad. One eyelid is more swollen than the other. Cute. I hate allergies. Claritin and Zyrtec don't work. Also, Vicks tissues are amazing but should not be used to dry the eyes. It burns. It was an accident. WHATEVS.

I am fragile right now. I can't breathe.

I watched Twilight. Then I started the book...this could be really bad.

Things I want to do while in Long Beach: see the family, go to thrift stores, try out that coffee shop in Bellflower that Rachel raves about-I just got a new journal and a good book (not twilight) so it should be super, grab some coffee from Intelligista for Merril-this might not happen but this is just a wishlist, hang at the sunken city, feel the joy of no allergies...there is more but my allergies are preventing proper brain function.

I watched 3 of my favorite movies this week.

Gummi Bears are delicious. I like the clearish ones. Also, red.

If wiping your eyes with Vicks hurts...nope, gonna stop there.

The Office is making my life.

I want to be Tina Fey.

Fine tip ball point pens are my new favorite.

Black coffee makes me really happy. Instant smiles.

I started watching Big Love. Then I watched an episode of The West Wing. I am into both. That sucks.

I love my porch at night.

It's 1 AM and I can't sleep. Not because I am not tired but because I can't breathe and my congestion is causing a headache. Its too late for PM pills. Ugh.

Goodnight. xo.

Spring is super.

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.
