Today, I was just surfing the web and I decided to just register. I signed up for Community Band and an Entrepreneurship class on the internet. It’s time to start challenging myself again. 

Classes start 8/20!

(taken on my mini-vacation to Colorado this weekend)

One day I’ll find relief
I’ll be arrived and I’ll be a friend to my friends who know how to be friends

One day I’ll be at peace
I’ll be enlightened and I’ll be married with children and maybe adopt

One day I will be healed
I will gather my wounds forge the end of tragic comedy

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time
Of being forever incomplete

One day, my mind will retreat, and I’ll know god and I’ll be constantly one with her night dusk and day
One day I’ll be secure, like the women I see on their 30th anniversaries

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time
Of being forever incomplete

Ever unfolding
Ever expanding
Ever adventurous and torturous
But never done

One day, I will speak freely
I’ll be less afraid
And measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art
One day I will be faith-filled
I’ll be trusting and spacious authentic and grounded and whole

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time
Of being forever incomplete

~ Alanis Morissette, Incomplete, Flavors of Entanglement

  • Laundry
  • Pack more boxes
  • Go through closet
  • Call Comcast
  • Make something to bring for lunch this week
All I had to do was turn over and step out of bed. Then I fell back asleep and that was it. My day was spent. I woke up again to find Jon and Kate Plus 8 on and then I ended up spending time on flickr. Now I’m figuring out what to have for dinner. I don’t think that I wasted a day. Sometimes you just have to listen to your body and just sleep. I needed this day. So here’s to getting to the rest of the list tomorrow!

Best chocolate bar ever. I fell in love with these on my first trip to Canada in 1999. Now where ever I am I pick some up. These my Dad brought back from Bermuda. I’m excited because I’ve never had the carmel one before!

My new place. It may take me forever to move in there, but it’s all mine.

My friends Dianne and Ariel got married yesterday. This is the first of two ceremonies. The next one is in a year. We went wedding dress shopping today. I gotta tell you. It made me want to get married. Yes, I realize I must find the guy first, but I’m not sweating the details.

It finally felt like spring was here. It’s crazy how much the weather can effect your mood. I didn’t really get much done today. Well, I guess I should say not as much as I hoped. I’ve been getting to know the mac mini. It’s crazy how much more I can do now that that the software is right here. I am currently running multiple applications and there is no interruption in service. No hesitation. I might just have to see my laptop and fully switch to mac. Tomorrow I hope to workout, do some laundry, and work on my non-profit. Here’s to another beautiful day!
