God's Perfect Creation

Pleasurable

i had a wonderful day yesterday. i didnt do anything that most would consider wonderful or amazing. to some it might seem a normal, uneventful day. i found it quite the opposite.

mom and i texted from a our bedrooms, to start the morning off. she asked about coffee and breakfast... teased me a bit. the night before, i had decided that i would make scones to go with coffee the next morning. they turned out pretty good! although i really couldnt taste them much myself. my nose is still stuffy, which made it so i could only taste so much of it. that so much, was very little. i brought the scones to my parents, who sat in bed with holly. i love bringing them drink and food in bed. i dont know why. it just gives me a pleasurable feeling.

the moments following were spent cleaning the kitchen, talking with a friend over coffee, and getting ready for the day. at some point we decided that a target and starbucks run was in order.

target was a quick trip. in and out in less that 20 min. since we were next door to coehlos music store, we decided to get some new strings for his guitar (which needed changing really badly). of course, when we got back to my house, i ended up breaking one of the strings while trying to tune them, after putting on the new set.

i tried a new flavor in my misto; cinnamon dulche. it was so good! i think i like it better than toffee nut (my regular flavor). i think that cinnamon dulche will be my new regular. we stopped off at the used clothing store to drop off a few bags of goods, as a favor to my mom, and coehlos to get another set of strings. had some lunch, and then relocated. where we played guitar and had tea with homemade ginger snap cookies while we watched a movie. it was such a nice day.

all these little things were just so pleasurable. they wouldnt usually stand out as pleasurable... but- yesterday it was especially nice. just another one of those quiet, simple days that catch your attention every now and again. that reach out to you, in the midst of pure chaos. a rest before the next weekly plunge.

carissa i do believe you have awoken my desire to post. i had fallen out of the habit of posting. or, neglected it i should say.

i think this happened two mornings ago: i was asleep in bed when i heard some loud banging on the door. as you all know, i am now in the front room with noelle, and holly has our old room. you can imagine how loud it was... and whoever it was, was really banging hard on the door. dean came down the entry hall just in time to hear me yell. he said that i called out his name... i dont recall that at all. i just remember yelling. the point to this, is, it scared the heck out of me. what a way to start the day, yes?

for those of you who havent tried these things, i suggest that you do. i tried them for the first time today, and really liked them.


astronomy is screaming my name right now. it is sitting on my bed, pretty much staring me down.

i love the sound of rain just beginning to fall. a few randomly scattered drops... then the light patter of consistent fall... then the down pour. it makes me smile.

On the Surface

well school is going well... i spose. i am starting to like my astronomy class better everyday. although, there is a lot of homework sometimes. my first test is soon. well, in about two weeks. my professor was pretty cool about the test yesterday. he gave us some answers to questions that might be on the test. got that written down. haha!

i have had an ongoing flow of ideas for art and writing and music. though, i am always afraid to post them online. worried that someone might steal the ideas. which is sad, because id love to share them with you all! well, those of you that i know, who read my blog. needless say, i am excited about pursuing these ideas.

i think that i would really like to get some kind of degree in art. for the moment, i will just work on getting my general ed out of the way. squeezing in what i can for art.

my birthday was wonderful! my family took me out to sushi on saturday and gave me a surfboard! i am still stoked. i havent gone out with it yet. okay i take that back... it was a used board from panchos. a board that i have used almost every time i go out. so i have surfed with it:) thanks adam, crissy, and nathan! i had a great time on sunday:)

p.s. nathan!! (*high piched voice*)
