About Me

My photo
Hi. You found me. Thanks for clicking over! Sit and stay awhile..... This is the view from my window... As I move around my little valley I call 'home,' I've had many different views & this is the one that I keep coming back to.

Please, don't

Please don't ask me what I did yesterday.

Because if you do, I'll have to tell you that I did not.....


let my alarm go off for a whole hour,

eat breakfast/lunch at 11:30,

watched a few whole discs of Modern Family & Friends (& a show online),

and got on facebook briefly .three. times,

and then wikipedia & blog hopped for an hour,

and looked at the dirty dishes accumulating in the kitchen and hoped, 'Maybe the sister will wake up early tomorrow and do them all!',   (wishful thinking, I know :)

and then had a mini fight with the sister,

and then hugged the sister after we cooled off, told her I loved her, and then promised to go to bed soon.

and then brushed my teeth, washed my face, and then got in bed.

.....Because, hey! I was already in my pajamas.

As in, I never changed out of them.

......umm............



So, Please don't ask me what I did yesterday.

Because one (or all) of those things might have happened.

Sounds of home.....

....little boy drum solos from our next door neighbors garage

....screeching from across the street neighbors parrot
*who supposedly only chirps a little* WHATever

....country music blasting from across the street firefighter neighbor's car
(he always sings loudly & badly while washing his truck -tis hilarious :)

....windchimes from other next door neighbors back porch
*storms always make me think of home bc of the sound the windchimes make in blustery wind :)*

....adolescent singing on American Idol on Wed. and Thurs. nights
*my mom got me hooked -Ah!*


....cats meowing outside my sister's bedroom window

thoughts on Easter Sunday....

I am a sinner.
You are too.

But there's hope.

-He is risen!-
{He is risen indeed!}




{Christ Is Risen}  -Matt Maher      (reposted)
Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely You've bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven's will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down
In strength You reign
Forever let Your church proclaim

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead
He's alive! He's alive!

Unlike many other people in CA,

I am officially not on spring break.

Yep, since I'm now a college graduate, I'm done with that free vacation.

Sad day :(
College graduate = I'm a grown up = no more Easter vacations ever.

Sad face.
:(


Except,

happy face.
:)

Because...... I'm grown!
:)

And that's worth a :)


Are you having a happy  :)   or sad face  :(  day?
