so, yesterday was a pretty nice day. work was quiet, yet busy, which was nice! i took 2 hours of vacation with the intention of picking misha up & going to see the movie. however, she & shawna didn't get home until after 4, which was what time the movie was at! that equalled a kinda bummed carrie, because i felt like i had wasted 2 hours of vacation! oh well. i must've needed a little break. *laugh*
i spent the evening having a True Beauty marathon. i *heart* this show! it's season two. have you guys seen this?? when i started, i picked two ppl i liked. my girl is gone, but another gal has risen up. i don't really see her as "pretty" at all, but she is SO SWEET! i'm on episode 5 today, and she just did something so NOT sweet, so we'll see if she makes it to the end...
the reason i like this show so much, tho, is because it highlights so well the HUMAN condition. ppl who are considered "beautiful" are treated differently by society, and without the balance that comes from the Lord, that can really turn a beauty into a beast. some of these contestants are mostly nice ppl, but there are a couple that have just no compassion whatsoever. like, there are secret challenges, and they've passed the cheating ones - so they obviously don't want to be cheaters. however, each time there has been a human-help kinda thing, FAIL!
which is not to say all Christians are up on the human-help thing! everybody struggles. but when you know that YOU are not the be-all and end-all, because you know that HE is... well, it gives you a different perspective when you see someone in need. key word, of course, being "see." i have observant days, and i have days where i'm completely clueless to anything going on around me!
(this post was started at like 4, it's now 10... my computer has been a bit spotty today, so i'm now watching Buffy (Hush, GREAT ep, one of my faves) but hope to be able to get back on the Hulu wagon soon. i have nearly all of last week's shows to watch!! eep! )
hanging out w/ misha was very nice! i wish i could've afforded a double feature - we both wanted to see Despicable Me, as well. and i've been having a hankerin' for red robin... lol : ) i also got to chat w/ shawna for a bit before we left for the movie. yay!
our cousin, kathy, is coming to town in a couple weeks, and hopefully we'll all be able to hang out! i mean, i'm sure we'll all get to hang out w/ kathy at some point, but idk if it'll be together. *laugh* i decided to keep my vacation that friday, even tho i'm not going to stephen's bday party now. which, saddens me - i've been to every birthday since he was born! (he'll be 7.) however, the reason i can't be going to MC that saturday is because mom & the boys & i will be going to dubuque to visit the aquarium! reminds me i need to call sarah & let her know. also means i now need to mail stephen's present (scrabble jr - the kid loves games! i love games, too, but am too far away to play them w/ him much!). i also need to mail april's present. her birthday was in MAY. why is it so hard for me to mail packages??? i finally brought joy's christmas present from like 2007 to her on one of my trips there this year!
hmmm... tomorrow... right now the plan is to play cards & go to mom's for BB, but idk if those will happen. i kinda am liking the idea of vegging !
take care & ttfn. : )
