はじめまして。

We finally got all our clothes unpacked and put away, and organized! Woohoo. All the boxes are full of books that will go into the library once we are finished with it.

Woo, woo, it’s Thursday, which means it’s my Friday! I’m here at work alone until I get off, annnnd there’s nothing really for me to do. I’ve finished my work up for the day. I guess after I finish typing this I’ll watch Harry Potter on my phone. I love that Andy has all the Harry Potter and LOTR movies/audiobooks on my phone (well, it’s in a cloud, but I can access the server from my phone), and I have all the Star Wars movies, and several different anime series/movies. Basically our entire bluray/dvd collection will be uploaded to the server, where I can access it on my phone anywhere at any time.. or any computer, really, I can access it on. It’s awesome! It’s allowed me to watch HP 3 times more than I normally do on a daily basis.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

I don’t care if ya’ll think it’s strange, it makes me happy.

I’ve also been preparing for my next Mary Kay skin care/color class at our new home. I’ve got 4 girlfriends coming over and they’re so excited, and I’m more excited than normal— I went to an 8 hour makeup class with a celebrity makeup artist a couple weeks ago, and.. I thought I was well versed with makeup, but she blew me out of the water. I suppose that’s why she’s a celebrity makeup artist and I’m not. But she was really kind enough to tell us all her secrets! It was amazing. So I’m doing a completely new approach this time around, and I can’t wait. Not to mention, all the new Mary Kay products for the summer, like the translucent powder and lash love lengthening mascara, and even a men’s skin care line, is great. I ordered some samples of the new stuff and it should be on my doorstep this evening. I cannot wait to try it.

I ALSO CANNOT WAIT TO SLEEP TONIGHT. I woke up at 3:29 this morning to what sounded like someone try to open the garage door (but the deadbolt was locked). It freaked me out! I jumped out of the bed and turned on the lights, woke Andy up and told him what I’d heard and it took him if not 5 minutes, then 6 minutes before he finally believed that I heard something in real life and not in a dream. We heard the sound again, but I was wrong, it wasn’t the garage door, it was the door to the basement. I stayed back a little and Andy opened the door a smidge and looked behind it… it was all 3 of the dogs at the top of the stairs. Bernard had been trying to open the door by pulling the handle down. You see, Andy built a dog pin down in the basement, which they love. It’s like their den. When they’re in there they are calm as a cucumber. We even have a full-size mattress in it for them, and there’s still room enough to play. Anyway, Bernard tore his way through the fence last night. It turns out he was sick and was having diarrhea, but he didn’t want to use the bathroom in the house, so he made a desperate attempt to escape the pin, which worked, also freeing the other dogs, and then made his way upstairs to try and get his mama to take him outside. I could tell something was wrong when he ran to the leash, then ran to the door. I took him outside and he unloaded. UGH, that poor dog was so sick! And he held it in so he wouldn’t get it all over the house, what a precious dog. The dog pin will be an easy fix, which is good. However, after that we couldn’t really get back to sleep. I probably fell back to sleep around 5, but I had to get up at 6. I did have one dream between then, though, that was odd. I dreamed that we were at a friend’s house with all our dogs, and our friend had a pool of lava in the backyard (I’ve been playing way too much Minecraft), and Risu (our welsh corgi) decided to run and jump in the lava, and she like . starts melting, so we scoop her out of there but her little legs melted right off! And we dunked her in cold water, and then after that she acted like she was fine, and wanted to go play. So we set her down and she hobbled away on her little nubs, looking like a burnt sausage, but with that smile on her face she always has.

Within that same dream some dude came out of nowhere, stuck a jump drive in my arm (what?), and retrieved all my memories on it, then erased my memory, and then I got put in a nursing home because everyone though I had dimentia. 

Cool.

Anyway, I’m exhausted, and I can’t wait to go to sleep tonight, but I have so much to do to plan for this next MK party (even though it’s not for another week), and I need to decorate my house a little more. Uhhh, yeah. And water our lawn. I’m hoping it rains.

I think I want to go watch Harry Potter now. I’ll probably fall asleep at my desk, though. Power nap ftw.

How.. how can this be for real. And who actually does that.

 Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn’t advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn’t wise to share a bathroom with eight other people in a coed dorm. Looking back, that was crazy.

Ah, but at least you have that experience, lady. 
She is so elegant.

Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun.  To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter conversations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back- in many ways it is a feast fit for a king.  The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself.  The skeleton at the feast is you.
 
Frederick Buechner

The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.
