navy blue

Now, think of it. Navy Blue is a wonderful colour. My sister and I were just discussing this today. Here are some reasons I've come up with.

• anybody can wear this colour. really, it's true. and it makes your skin glow.
• it's very versatile. you can wear it with black, dressy, casual, etc.
• and instead of "little black dresses", everyone could wear "little navy blue dresses". i think i would like that.
• it's the colour of deep water -- such as oceans or the great lakes...
• and the colour of the night sky. with the stars sprinkled in this vast space, it's beautiful.
• it's just really, really good.

I've run out of reasons. But you get the point. Also, I've had the notorious swine flu this past week. It's been interesting... lot's of coughing, aches, and runny noses, but I do believe I'm on the upswing now. And it hasn't all been bad -- I learned a new recipe from Racheal Ray, and now I'm painting my nails red and waiting for The Office to start.

Goodnight!

the essence of busy-ness

It is strange to be buried underneath electronic homework, since homework being electronic it is not often a tangible thing. But that is where I can be found lately. I do love being busy though, it makes me feel... good.

I'm drinking coffee at the moment and calculating how much time I have before I work tonight... not very much. And this weekend is Britt's wedding! Crazy eh! Soon we will all pile into cars and head south-eastward for that smallish Wisconsin town to celebrate. I'm so excited! I have the dress and the shoes and everything. Now if only I could only walk in those shoes... back to practicing...

hum dee dum

Hello there! Well, I am happy to say I do not have strep throat anymore, my voice is back, and my cough is gone! It is an overwhelmingly happy feeling.

Last night at youth group I had the privilege to lead worship... I am so inspired to press forward in that direction! This is so cool, because I've been feeling like I need a way to channel my creativity in music and God is continuing to lead me here.

Yeah!

$2 sweaters & honeycrisp apples

i had the day off today, so it was the perfect opportunity to catch up on some rest and also finish up an essay for one of my online classes. my brother and i had a chance to slip away to do some thrift shopping (goodwill yes!) and i purchased a gap sweater for less than an ice cream cone. (i'm not actually sure if it would be less than an ice cream cone, come to think of it the sweater was probably more expensive, but it was a good deal, nonetheless. :)

p.s. if you have not tried honeycrisp apples, try one! they are delicious!

the garden that you planted remains -- sea wolf

i'm writing in a coughing, sore, light-headed state... with tea in my left hand and typing with my right. but not really. i actually have so much to do that it's hilarious i'm writing right now. i found a good recipe for fruit dip for britt's shower tomorrrow :) and i'm finishing up some decorations i fastened together with tree branches, wire, and beads. my last week has been really good. i'm loving the weather (imagine the summer sunshine morning warmth + orange tinted leaves) and i can't wait for the month of october where i will be busy every single weekend.

thursday

this morning was a beautiful mysterious misty morning. running through the air was like running through a shimmery cloud -- such a cool feeling. now i'm at the church, catching up on homework, and listening to music. i feel like i don't have much to say, so here's a photograph of a flower from el salvador. i love the colours, and also how there are tiny white flowers peeking out from underneath the petals. the flowers in el salvador were some of the brightest, most vibrant flowers i've ever seen.

espresso!

so... today was an interestingly wonderful day. we performed our "mi rey jesus" dance at church, and it was awesome! i got to spend some delightful time with chelsea, in which we discussed her forthcoming wedding (next may/june). i'm gonna be a bridesmaid in it :) i love her and eric!

i'm suuuch a procrastinator. which is why online schooling is good for me... i think...

i'm feeling a bit headache-y at the moment, however i'm in a sing-song mood. it's kind of a nice mixture. abba is the music of the moment.

anyways, back to homework, goodnight
