tidbits

i'm a bit scatterbrained at the moment. but it's not a stressful sort of scatterbrainity...it's like when you're room is sort of messy, yet you know where everything is because although it's a cluster F, it's exactly the way you've organized it...? well anyway, there's no way i can write an organized post, so i'm just going to write out tidbits in bullet point form and see how it goes.

- floated the guad with roomie this weekend in new braunfels - super fun. got to see dani and little willow for a bit and it made me all warm :) i really love her. the river was total insanity, but still quite fun. we got those pre-bottled margaritas that they serve you on planes: "the tequila's in it", says the bottle, and they ain't kiddin'. it was cute. 

- milkshakes from chick fil a are so frickin good. they go down so smooth, like butta.

- ivy's recommendation of "eat pray love" did not go unnoticed by me last year and i've finally gotten around to reading it. it's wonderfully written and beautifully raw. i've been really inspired by this author to explore new ways to strengthen and deepen my spiritual life. the practice of yoga has always been super intriguing to me, not just the fitness aspect, but the lifestyle of it. i tried meditating yesterday. it was nice to just sit still, let the thoughts flow, breathe steadily and let the calm come. then concentrate. very soothing - i slept better than i have in  a while and woke up early and ready to go.

- i've got friends here in dallas, i do. i really like them a lot too, but i can't help but feel lonely sometimes. that's all.

- music make me so happy. i really believe that there is a wonderful connection that can occur between a person and a song. i'm just drawn to lyrics that i feel* it's a bond that i get in my head and can't explain well.

- we're leaving for europe in 2 weeks and i have been eating like i've never seen a bikini in my life.

- the village church may or may not be gaining a dallas campus! by this, i mean there will be a dallas campus later this year, it is just not official yet. i went with some home group girls to the worship/info/prayer session tonight and it was very encouraging.  

- work is working. pretty busy few weeks i've had, but i'm livin and making do. i have an awesome boss and some pretty sweet friends at work that make it a really fun atmosphere, i can't complain.

- i got a brochure in the mail for Richmond Community College (just minutes from my apartment) that had their summer course schedule. i'm thinking about taking some classes there over the next few semesters. maybe photography. oil painting. perhaps yoga. definitely the dog obedience class through their rec center...

imagine all this swirling about between my ears and you'll understand me. for about 45 seconds. love/miss/namaste.
