One thing or another

It's very stormy out tonight. For some reason, a gale force wind has begun to sweep across the land. Seriously. Gale. Force. Toto just blew past my window.

I am pondering deep and intellectual things. Not really. It was a busy day, and I am distracted. I could tell you why, but then I'd have to kill you.

I called Johanna at 6 am for the sheer pleasure of speaking to her before she's had her tea. And also because she was exactly the right person to call at that moment. Everyone should have a cousin like that.

I went to lunch with an old friend and her two delightful daughters. I ate this amazing sandwich called a "Monte cristo." Have you eaten these? It's so good that it's likely a mortal sin. O! Delish!

Kara and I saw a movie this afternoon. It was ostensibly about Las Vegas, which is why Kara wanted to see it in the first place. The very best part of the movie was the song they played as the credits rolled. No idea what it was, but it made me laugh out loud. Something about "I hate you, my friend" which was incredibly absurd. Very funny, though.

I was reminded this evening in bible study, that God always illuminates the next step for us, and rarely the entire road. I need to think about this. He is so Good to Illuminate anything at all, and yet, I want all the blueprints, maps, and itineraries. He gives me the next step. Ah, it's an exercise in faith. I need to relax and trust, eh?


After yesterday's combing thru old photo albums, I dreamt last night that I cut my hair. In my dream, I went with the really short A-line thing that would look great with hats. It was very traumatic. Upon awakening, I had to reassure myself that it was not real.
For some reason, I went from cutting my hair all the time, to never cutting it at all. These days I would need long-term therapy before I could approach a serious trim.

Have yourself a lover-ly evening, friends.
