Fun Facts

Here are some random fun facts that I pondered as I drove home from work today.

I love lightening. It is scary at times, and painful/deadly other times, but it is always beautiful. The way it can light up a sky or even just a portion behind a cloud. That's just plain beautiful and lightening makes me happy.

I hate mustaches. I think they're creepy and make men seem more sketchy than they probably are. That being said, there was once a guy (probably around my age) who came into the Apple store with a mustache that I adored. I don't know why, although it was kind of handlebar'ish. Anyway, I saw him in the mall as I was leaving today (creepy that I have started recognizing people solely because I work in a mall) and it was gone. I left the mall slightly depressed over that fact.

I am about to have 11 days to do nothing. I have no work. That is scary and exciting. My goal is to fall in love with running. (and go to the local city pool a lot) If nothing else, I'll just drive my self crazy because I still haven't heard about the stupid teaching job.

I really enjoy classical music in my car lately. I enjoy imagining what would be happening in a jane austen novel at each point in the song. I sometimes imagine myself in said jane austen novel with accompanying classical music.

It stinks when you realize you're a friendgirl. That's what I'm naming it when you know you'll never go from friend to gf. It also stinks when said friendboy says imagine we're dating to illustrate a point. Would it have been creepy if I said, I mean I've done that before, this should be easy. I think it would have been.

I'm exhausted and want to spend a week at the river. I just want a vacation from my completely non-hectic life.

I learned a lot about commitment last year. About being true to my word and persevering through things we don't enjoy. I have learned a lot about patience this year. I have bucked against this one a lot I think. Because I am never okay with waiting. I'm not satisfied knowing that eventually it'll all make sense. That someday, I'll see God's hand in all of this waiting. Despite that, or maybe because of that, he continues to attempt to teach me patience. Patience and trust. I think you can't have patience without trust; so maybe what I'm really learning is to trust. Trust that He really does have a plan, and it really is better. Even if it is slow. and not what I want. and painful to wait for. and painful to receive.
