cowboy boots, belt buckles, and country dancing

So my time at home has flown by, and it's just about time for me to leave again! I leave tomorrow morning, bright and early, to head down to DC. Friday will be filled with sailing, hopefully. I'd better bring sunscreen, or I'll get to EFY as a tomato.

I haven't done much since I've been home. I worked a total of 4 hours at Hannaford...that'll be a small paycheck tomorrow, though I won't get it for 3 1/2 weeks. I did some painting projects at the Youngs', though, which has been helpful to my financial state! They're great people, so it was fun to hang out and catch up with them too. It's always better to work for people you like! I've attended the Singles Ward a couple times, and it's great to see old friends and make new friends! I'm looking forward to going there weekly in August and the fall. I really love that ward, and I'm glad to be back!

Other than that...oh, I've taught Steven and Michael some country dancing that I know, so they're pretty pumped and want to "own" everyone at EFY with our sweet moves. Now I just have to break the news to Jazon... :)

Well, I've got a list of things to do, and it's a mile long, so I really need to go cross more things off of there. I'll be back in a few weeks! Oh- yeah, I think I'm going to leave my computer here during EFY. Less to lug around and worry about, and I won't really use it anyway.

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

Hamlet

One of my favorite scenes from Hamlet (which is probably my favorite of Shakespeare's plays) is right after Polonius is murdered. I love the literal yet sarcastic reply Hamlet gives to King Claudius at his inquiry to the location of Polonius. KING CLAUDIUS Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius? HAMLET At supper. KING CLAUDIUS At supper! where? HAMLET Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service, two dishes, but to one table: that's the end. KING CLAUDIUS Alas, alas! HAMLET A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and cat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. KING CLAUDIUS What dost you mean by this? HAMLET Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.
