O come, Thou Day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!
Feeling distinctly the Bored Subur… more »

Went to a show tonight. Chaz almost got shoved into the mosh pit. When it comes down to it, those tickets were worth every penny. more »

Sar and I were talking yesterday over some Ramen in my kitchen. I know everyone thinks all I talk about is being a nurse but it's just one of those things that occupies a lot of my thoughts these days. I'm, unfortunately, not at the point in my learning… more »

This morning, upon awakening, I was greeted by a KingSize headache and a nose completely clogged up to the point of no return. My throat is sore, I sound like a donkey, and my lips are cracked, presumably, from sleeping with my mouth open. I got up, to… more »

Life is busy, times are good, I am loved and employed and well fed and very, very content.
I work, I come home, I clean my house and kiss my Mark when he returns from work and I'm not sure what I did before all this. School is no longer a part of my… more »

Praise the Lord!!!!
For His mercies are from everlasting to everlasting and He hears the sorrows of every man, woman, and child. He considers us daily, taking account of our doings and walkings and He sees our lips move, spouting off fo… more »

Guess who has the day off and spent the morning cleaning her whole house because it was very dumpy and washed laundry because she had no more clean undawears and did dishes because we're almost out of paper plates and swept the floors so my wookie hair… more »

Words like these break my heart and seep in through the cracks so I don't forget them. Words like these fill in my empty holes. Words like these reverberate in me with every step and every breath of my waking day. God's eloquence is so simple to underst… more »

For the benefit of those who haven't spoken to me lately, I would like to explain that I have been avoiding blogging for the following reasons:
#1 - I'm crabby
#2 - All I've been doing these days, it seems, is going to work
#3 - When I come hom… more »

Things that make Mark have a really dopey but cute smile plastered on his face for hours on end:
Buying a Wii and setting it up. :) more »

When you hold my hand and we pray over our late-night supper of Ramen in a kitchen full of dishes I have been too lazy to wash.
When I watch you work on one of your many projects and I can see steam coming from your ears as you compute the angles an… more »

Day 3 on the cardiovascular surgical unit (CVSU, for short). Overwhelmedness factor, on a scale of 1-10: 7,000,000. Comfort measure of choice: reheated, leftover mac n' cheese dinosaurs. I just ate a t-rex and I do feel better. A little.
So it's fin… more »

One of the hidden benefits to living within 200 yards of the town highschool - band practice at seven AM. By the time the parades come around I should be able to play the drums with the best of them. more »

Being in my own place has its advantages - breakfast this morning was a small but satisfying teacup saucer of kalamata olives, feta (domestic, unfortunately), oregano, and olive oil, eaten with my fingers and some syrian bread. I can't help but feel a l… more »

Wake up
Wondering
When this all occurred,
When this soundly sleeping
Body
Materialized
In My House.
Wondering
How this came to be,
My House,
My Life.
Movements already memorized,
The day
Beginning,
A dance of
Familiarity.

"Only you can start this fire in my heart, set me a blaze tonight
Cold no longer
One day my fight will be over, but for now I'm looking straight ahead
And its all for you
So I'll let you rise, I'll let you rise in these bones

Still unable to net myself a sweet nursing job at this point, and incredibly sick of well-wishers telling me that they "thought there was a nursing shortage," which requires me to explain that to train a nurse costs X million dollars up front and the ne… more »

I'm a big fan of the Clash, thanks to my super cool, ultra-punk parentes. Once upon a time when they were but younguns in love, one bought the other "London Calling" on cassette. Little did they know that one day their nerdy daughter would pick it up an… more »

These days, I've been reading a lot about frugality and finances and the heads and tails of the two. I've never been a big spender, nor a big earner, for that matter, but I managed to make it out of a 20K/year college, thanks to big blessings of generou… more »

I'm twenty-two today and I feel basically the same as I felt when I was, like, twelve. That's the real weird part. more »

Very near to a year ago, Mark, Drew, and I were blessed enough to worship at Heidi's church out in Washington state. It was different - more hip, more cultural, louder music. It is a fairly famous church, its pastor considered one of the most influentia… more »

I'm not really all that interested in the prospect of yard sales. Sure, I'm the queen of thrift, that's pretty much undisputed, but I like to do my browsing in places where the former owner isn't giving me a running commentary on the history, price, and… more »

What is this existence we live? It is only vapors and dust, gone in fizzles and poofs and then, most likely, quite forgotten over time. Very few things persist, and those that do will never stay in the headlines for long before they are archived and sto… more »

So. I truly am, as the tee shirt Dad gave me for Christmas once said, "Flypaper for Wackos." Basically meaning, no matter where or when I go somewhere, I am likely to gain some sort of weirdo following me around. I use the word "weirdo" in a kind, gentl… more »

I feel very insignificant right now - along with my life's circumstances. My heart breaks. more »

My six-year-old neighbor, Sophie, lives with her mom in the back half of the house we live in that's split into apartments. She comes over and visits frequently, which is nice because her mother and I are both kinda shy people who keep to ourselves. Sop… more »

Weird Dream #3 (Last night) - Mark was peeling crayfish in bed to give to some missionaries at our church, but he was leaving their little crayfish exoskeletons all over the place, like, on my pillow. As a result, i got very perturbed because I felt lik… more »

Dream # 1 (Monday night):
At some sort of festival, I meet up with mum, Chaz, and Drew, all of three having pierced noses. Mom had a monroe (which looked, might I add, very classy indeed), as well as both nostrils pierced with little sparkly studs… more »

I like to think about myself in good terms sometimes. Things like how I like to think I'm nice to most people and try to love people for who they are and try to meet people at whatever state they may be in at any given time. I even like to think I go ou… more »

Sooo. Courtney gave my blog the work-up and now it's happy and colorful (I know.. I know..).
I don't have much to say because I'm kinda sleepy and done with today already. I took some pictures mostly for Mom VDH to see the house, but since I know nob… more »

In honor of Spring, which apparently is hesitant to show its face, I went on a cleaning rampage of sorts today. I got up really late after basically sleeping in all morning, and then I was seized with the urge to clean everything. I did loads and loads… more »

Some things I will never get used to. Like fifteen year old girls with long acrylic nails and dyed hair and pregnant bellies. Or pushing the HPV vaccine like it's the end of the world. Or the girl who came into the clinic today, drunken father in tow. S… more »

I've started my internship finally and it's not as fabulous as I had hoped, but, like, what did I expect from clinicals, right? I mean, they aren't even supposed to be fun. But 100 hours is 100 hours and it must be done, all hundred of them, all.. one h… more »

I just made chocolate chip cookies for probably the first time in my life. I made a terrible mess of myself with batter in my hair, on the coffeemaker, all over the microwave, ground into my shirt, and all over the floor. Thankfully in the process of tr… more »

..I have finally gotten placement for my capstone internship.. in the second half of the semester. :D I will be missing the entirety of spring break, but at least I'll graduate. :D
The place seems fun, different, very community-oriented. I'm not ex… more »

Today was my day for random errands. I hiked up to The Nash early this morn to get my social security stuff changed to my new name because until then, I can't change anything else. I walked right in, got seen within 15 minutes (which was, oh.. four hour… more »

It's terribly snowy and grey here today and lots of people keep riding their ATVs on the street what sounds like two inches away from the house. People are skittering and sliding all over our street today and everyone sounds like they're trying out for… more »

Some mornings (most, these days) I am far too tired to do anything but drive to wherever it is my car in taking me. I gradually wake up over the course of the drive but I am not cognizant enough to truly take anything in besides the very necessary thing… more »

I've now developed an indefatigable love and, I daresay, passion for Scrubs. I watched Garden State what seems like a million years ago now and I was totally unimpressed the first time, mostly because I was tired and completely, utterly fixated on the f… more »

I don't know how to explain it, but I'm home. I'm here. It's hard for me to understand how someone who, five years ago, was only an acquaintance, now shares my entire life with me. It has been an interesting challenge for me to transition from singlenes… more »

I awoke this morning to the otherworldly sound of low drawls and conversation about car repair and wedding decorations, the sounds of the south and my family-to-be right outside "my" bedroom door. more »

I just called my friend Lynn to discuss details about how to get to where the wedding is. We hadn't talked in months but we've emailed and kept in touch every once and a while after having worked together at the Student Nursing Association at school an… more »
