You can't really tell in this picture at the small size, but there's an image of a jackalope in it. Which reminded me of a story.
Once upon a time I was deathly ill, but driving and trying to continue with my life, even though I was suffocating inside my lungs. Anyway. So Dingbat and Love Duck and I one day went to Walmart, but I don't remember why. Not that that's important. As we're standing at the check-out stand, though, Dingbat grabs a postcard and says something along the lines of, "Look, Love Duck!" And she, in all her innocent fascination of life, was convinced at that moment that the jackalope is real. But then we told her it wasn't and she was a little upset inside. And outside, too, if I remember correctly. The end.
Because I am not up-to-date on my tetanus immunization, I might not live. They'll write on my headstone "All because of three second-degree burns and a fear of needles."
I have been writing my paper for like the past 4 hours. I am still not finished. There is nothing on TV. My world lacks in background noises. This means I have to resort to channel 40 and hope I don't fall asleep to the pretty music.
I haven’t written one of these in a long time! For that I should apologize. So, sorry. Apology over.
Anyway, I’ve been reading in Ether lately. More specifically, I’ve been reading about when the Jaredites journey across the waters (chapter 6). I had this sort of “ah-ha!” moment the other day and just thought I’d share it with you. Hopefully it makes sense, but it’s very possibly that my logic only works in my head. If that’s the case, then just smile and nod and pretend you understand me. Or totally ignore this post. Either way.
So, the Lord caused a FURIOUS wind to blow them towards the promised land (trials help us become the person God wants us to be) and sometimes they get BURIED in the DEPTHS of the SEA, but no water could hurt them (vs. 7 says “therefore, when they were encompassed about by many waters they did cry unto the Lord, and he did bring them forth again upon the top of the waters”). The Lord will always deliver us in the midst of our temptations and trials (if we “cry unto” him). He will not let us sink!
So, the other night when I was over at DL's having funandgames, I noticed the Heartless Siren's computer was making magical pictures and I was seriously fascinated out of my mind by them. Chilly proceeded to tell me they were sheep and I immediately exclaimed, "I want sheep!" And now I have sheep and they are lovely and peaceful to watch and make me happy. Sometimes I just sit in front of my computer now doing nothing and wait for my screen saver to come up just so's I can watch them. You should all get your own flock of sheep and experience the magic!
So, I've now realized multiple times within the past few days that it's been like a week since last time I posted. Have you all been sad in your hearts and missing me and my wisdom? I thought as much.
In this here post you can get a small glimpse of recent happenings in my life. It's been full of sweets and joy... and joyness for the past month and I've been immensely happy.
I am also realizing in my head how very vague I've been lately. Sorry about that. Sort of. Mostly not, but sort of I am sorry. Those of you who actually know me know pretty well what's been going on in my life, I think. For those of you who do not know me, the Boy and I have been dating for a month and a few days now and I haven't scared him away yet! We'll see if he still likes me after this bout of sad-in-the-heart is over. I have high hopes that he will due to the fact that his first bit of getting to know me was during a period of sad-in-the-heart.
Amazing Grace has now come to DVD and is sitting on the bookcase in the living room. Soon I will be watching it. For now, though, I am not. The Pixar collection of short films has also come to DVD and I am having owned that at this point in my life. It is a blessing to be counted. I haven't watched it yet, though, either.
And Blogger is acting really stupid right now so you'll have to make due with your Katria fix with this because I am tired of waiting for my typing to catch up with me. Plus it is nap time.
I'm kind of in love with my sheets. Still and again. Only now they're clean and smell really good. Like flowers. Mmm.
Sorry, I really haven't had anything to blog about lately. Life is good and I'm happy. Except I have a bit of a headache and a back ache today, but that's nothing out of the ordinary.
OCTOBER 27: A male individual was reported yelling in the ... Science Center. When the officers arrived, they discovered he was actually singing along to music playing on his iPod.
The Boy left me this installment of a umm... story that he has decided to create for me. I thought I'd share it because it's so.... so... special. In every sense of the word.
So once upon a time in a land far, far away lived a small dog named Chico. Chico liked to chase cars and one day he got too close and "got runded over." His spirit left his body and was floating off when all of a sudden he saw a Faerie! The faerie was hairy, and ugly and when it saw the dog it hovered over and patted it on the head.
I can hardly wait for the next part!
