Okay...randomness...

Just got to Candice unnie's house so she could take a shower.  She was feeling dirty, I guess.
Either way, the EM retreat was pretty fun...aside from the fact that Candice, Jenhie unnie, and I past out today.

Okay, so it seems we missed the fantabulous concert at New Life Church in Tacoma.  They were hosting a Christian group from Korea that sings praise, contemporary style...like true secular bands.

Okay...off to bowling~!

Yesterday, I went to Won by One after work.
It was great, seeing people I haven't seen in what feels like forever.
Pastor David Ross spoke about meditation and how much benefit it can have on your life.
One thing I'd like to start is reading through the book of Deuteronomy.
Its one of my favorite books of the bible because it incapsulates the Exodus, the laws of Moses, and many other things that I think are important to the Christian faith.
But that's just my opinion.

Being one of my fav books, I haven't exactly finished reading it yet.
So, I'm not only gonna read it, I'm gonna meditate on it.

Psalm 1:1-3
¹Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.
²But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
³He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.  Whatever he does prospers.

Amen

Watched Chasing Liberty last night.
What a cute movie!  I like it.
And considering Love Actually kinda turned me off with the English folk, I'd have to say that Matthew Goode (in CL) made me want an English man!
Hahaha!!!

So now I'm at work, which I don't think is a very good idea at the moment.
My boss got upset cause I arranged to pay a vendor for a purchase we made.
I told him the check's still in the mailbox, cause I just put it there a minute ago.  His response, "Don't bother.  Its already gone."
Whatever.  Who the heck waits till the last minute to pay a bill?
Okay, so I have tendencies to pay last minute, too.  But if I've got the money, I'll pay it early.  So that's my current gripe with "the working world" right now.

On top of all this, I've got a severely, horribly, bad case of laryngitis.
I'm down to my last vocal chord (not much more than a whisper using normal speaking volume).  So, whenever I'm on the phone, I've either gotta yell a little (definitely a no-no.  I'll lose my voice completely...), or suffer the consequences of having people ask me to repeat myself cause my so-called voice cracks in and out like a scratched CD.
Those consequences would be: losing my voice completely because I can't let my throat rest a little. I'm in a lose-lose situation.
          When I answer the phone:
          Qual...Qual...ahem...Qual......AHEM...Quality marbl combl...
          Grrr...
I guess it didn't help much when my dad asked me to explain something last night and I got frustrated and started yelling cause he wasn't listening, making me repeat myself 20 times before he finally understood.
Grrr...

I wanna go home and sleep.
I wanna watch a movie in my bed.
I wanna swim the North Atlantic.
I wanna read the entire bible in one hour.
I wanna bake a 15-layer cake.
I wanna dig a hole to China.
I wanna learn Deustch.
I wanna have fun.

Movies to watch:

1.

1-2 open in theatres today...I'm so excited!

Do girls who have raspy voices really sound sexy?
Cause right now, I sound like a boy.
And if boys think that's sexy...then I think they're weird!

I'm sick.
Seriously, I don't think I ever really got over my cold from back in November.
This is the third time in two months and it sucks booty!

Cut-off Poling this morning on my way to early morning prayer meeting.
My ABS kicked in cause of some ice on my street and a car was coming.  So instead of attempting to stop, I just turned my wheels and kept going.  Hahaha...then the car behind me ended up going to church too, and he parked right next to me in the lot (probably to see who cut him off) and it turned out to be Poling.
My bad!

According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.

Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.

Therefore, contrary to every historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, every single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen - had to be a girl.

We should've known. Only women, while pregnant, would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost...

Puahahaha!!!

I'm bootylicious!!!
At least, for the past couple of days...people seem to like my butt.
Huh, Anna SMN?
Muahaha!!!

Christmas is in 30 hours...and the most Christmas spirit I've got this year is a stuffed snowman squished between my dash and windshield.
I'm trying, but its just not the same...as what?  Who knows...
