'And I wonder if I ever cross your mind..
For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now...'

Had a great time tonight at Josh's company party/ball. They had casino
tables and I spent alot of the night playing Texas Holdem next to one
of Josh's coworkers who was teaching me as I went. I went way up,
then way low, then broke exactly even at the end. Not bad for a
beginner?

update: Isaac and Carol found their family and they are ok. Karey is in a light coma and is unresponsive and apparently unrecognizable because he is so badly injured. They have drilled holes in his head to relieve the pressure from the bleeding, and are just waiting and letting him rest. Please pray for him, he's a creatively brilliant 20 year old who I had the joy of working with on a project last summer. He's one of our interns at church and is also part time staff.

Not a good day so far. My friends Warren and Gina are in the ER with
their son Karey who has serious brain trauma from a bad car wreck,
Issac and Carol can't get ahold of their family in Chile. David and
Sherry have a possible tsunami headed their way in Hawaii, a friends
friend has a 2 year old who is expected to die any minute from cancer;
and what am I doing? Stressing about what to do with my hair for the
ball tonight. Seriously? Flat curls to go with the glamour gown I'm
wearing? Seems so irrelevant, but I still have to go. Today should
put things in perspective for my stupid whiny broken heart. But
knowing my bull headed, idiotic self, it probably won't. I hate the
flesh.

about to upload some more cool photos..
driving in heavy snow, is a crazy 3D experience. Never seen anything like this here..it just keeps coming

Real, legit snow is falling! The ground is covered in white with
massive snowflakes coming down. It's absolutely beautiful!
Less than 48 hours ago it was near 80 degrees and I was sweating outside in my tank top and shorts..

"I was doing so well until they had to bring stoichiometry back into the picture!" -jordan, referring to her Chemistry. Sphygmomanometer, gravitational pull, snow and Sherlock Holmes completed the dinner conversation ,without me, as I sat back and could only laugh, cause my voice is gone from whatever is ailing me. Surrounded by total brainiacs, .. love it.

yes, i'm still sick, and no, i don't want to talk

As I'm sure you've all heard by now a guy set his house on fire, then
drove to the Georgetown airport (where Rene works), got in his plane,
and flew to a building just a couple of blocks away from Josh's and
crashed into it. Miraculously, few were injured. One is still missing
and may be dead. 2 others are in hospital. Considering the total loss
of the building, it's incredible how many made it out. He was
targeting the IRS in the building according to his suicide manifesto.
I'm telling you though, having your husband text you at 9 something in
the morning telling you a plane just flew into a building near him,
can mess with your head. I think we all mentally went back to 9/11 at
least for a moment.
How quickly we forgot.

I am sick as a dog. Amazing how quickly illness can invade your body..

My beautiful, fabulous, wonderful 16 year old that i love immensely,
crashed my car into the neighbors retaining wall.

'And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive'

I am cracking up. So I guess I was feeling a little sassy with my
newly blonded hair, new jeans and red boots when I went to visit
Rene's office for a second. There were a handful of men in the lobby
when I breezed in and out. Turns out just minutes before they had
asked Ren what the deal was with all the tall gorgeous women coming in
and out and she told them they were part of our Bible study. So after
I left they apparently said to Rene 'we think we've found our
religious side, can we join? Cause that one was a 10'
She just had to call and tell me :-)

Playing on my radio as I type- Tonight's gonna be a good night. Yes it

Sooo excited about Judge Wrights birthday party tonight. Everybody who's somebody in Williamson county will be there. Josh and the band are playing country music. That should be down right hilarious. Don't get me wrong, these guys can play anything, and be great at it, but just the whole spectacle of it should be a riot. 3 hispanics and a very white boy. :-)
plus, I get to dance!!! with who.. is yet to be seen..

So at Bible study today we were talking about women and what the true measure of a woman was, etc.. and we were also talking about friends. This has been a tough subject for me lately, as I lost 3 of my closest ones during my visit to lala land. When I came home, i was left with 1. Amy. (Hi Amy! praying for Dans arm reconstruction today.). Anyways, she lives in Pennsylvania so I really didn't have anyone here to lean on. I remember one night that was particularly rough very early on before everything really started I was in the front row during worship and I was weeping and having a very hard time because of reasons I won't go into, and this woman walks right up to me in the front row and put her arm around me and just stood there with me. I told her I didn't think I could stand on my own any longer, and she said she would hold me up. I barely knew her at the time, but since that day she has become one of my very best friends. She showed up in my life right when I needed her. She always lets me cry and whine, but then always kicks me in the butt and makes me get back out there. She expects the best out of me and inspires me to be a true woman of God. Love you Rene, I'm very thankful for you.
In the last year God has blessed me with a whole new set of friends that I'm grateful for and my circle is slowly being rebuilt. I will never take any of them for granted, because I know what it's like to walk alone in the valley of death, and I don't ever want to go there again.
Show some love to your sisters in Christ today. Love you Rene, Ames, Heather, Nancy, Andrea, Kristi, etc.. you know who you are. thank you for loving and accepting me where i was.

Happy birthday Amy! At least you're snowed in and don't have to work!!

Lookie what I found! A big yellow glowing thing in the sky!! And it

'We've tried to wash our hands of all of this. We never talk of our lack in relationships 

And how we're guilt stricken sobbin' with our heads on the floor..

For the life of me I cannot remember 
What made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise 
For the life of me I cannot believe we'd ever die for these sins 
We were merely freshmen'

So I'm laying around in bed this morning, cause i couldn't think of
any reason to get up, and my iPhone keeps buzzing with 3 things:
1. My Words with Friends games telling me it's my turn(I only have 6
games going at once)
2. My friends planning our Monday night, talking to each other, and
cc'ing me.
3. The MASSIVE amount of emails that showed up in my inbox luring me
to come away somewhere tropical for vacation! So NOT FAIR you stupid
Expedia, Travelocity, Funjet, Americanair, Continental, Delta people!
You knew it was cold and rainy here didn't you? You knew it was too
dreary to even get out of bed. You suck, cause I can't go.
The kids are going to visit their Nana this afternoon and I'm free as
a bird, with nothing to do. My org is in a holding pattern, don't have
another job yet, I still haven't been approved to volunteer or get
reinvolved at church,...
so maybe I WILL just get back in bed, get ahead on my 90 day Bible
reading plan, eat some m&m's, play my scrabble game (with 2 of
Celebrations most eligible bachelors, I might add, girls?? any single
ladies in the house? they haven't been snatched up yet..and I'm also playing Rene
((who's kicking my butt)).)
..and snooze a little, and have myself an old fashioned, poor lonesome
old me, pity party

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and,
The light that you shine can be seen.

There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
there's so much inside.
You remain,
you.......
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny..
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
The more I get of you,
Ooh...................
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the gray
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you want to do is cry

And maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday

'Well I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, oh no you don't fool me
Well the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord'
