  • hurrah for going to sleep with the windows open, then waking up and being too cold (glorious feeling) and having to close the bedroom window. surely crisp weather is a pre-requisite for bliss.

  • I've been tagged. THE RULES: List five songs that you are currently loving. It doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying…

  • the weather is finally chilly and I am so incredibly excited about that! in all probability it will be warm again tomorrow, but today it is cool and soothing and I can wear a sweater and life is good.

  • Life seems surreal sometimes ... here I sit in a room full of uniformed high school students talking with southern accents at a school in Mississippi called Magnolia Heights ... weird ...

  • Older people are so funny. After driving 3 hours up to Senatobia, my grandparents stayed for 2 hours before driving back to Jackson. We went to eat dinner at the Como Steakhouse at 4:30. Hilarious. Reminds me of the Sein…

  • my cat has fleas. surely one should not have to take one's pet to the vet just to get rid of fleas. I used Hertz drops from Wal-Mart (the kind you squeeze on the back of their neck and are supposed to kill fleas and eggs…

  • hurrah for the following: 1). Fridays 2). hearing from old friends 3). joining Netflix 4). enthusiastic piano students 5). air conditioning 6). cover for U2's WAR album

  • am quite distraught about Hurricane Rita and consequently addicted to watching the news, which leaves me depressed and frustrated (gas is going up again! Please no!). My grandparents (who live south of Houston) left thei…

  • suppose it is superficial to have a profile pic of a modern celebrity ... but is he not lovely looking?

  • In an effort to be objective, have listed some humidity pros and cons. Feel free to add more ... positive things about humidity: good for skin (no dry, flaky, itchiness) good for voice and throat makes eyeliner eas…

  • hot humid weather is gross. i hate feeling sticky. but the AC in my room is working, for which I am profoundly thankful. (it was out yesterday ... talk about a l o n g afternoon) but if i were still in the north, th…

  • I think my driving force is finding the most efficient way to do things. Today, for example, I have to sort and hand out pants, shirts, and jackets to the choir boys, which would be easy if I had time to sort them before…

  • this movie reminds me of JenEmily, the best roommate ever. Anyone out there in Mobap land still in touch with her? Chris and Abby? let me know. it also reminds me of the time Ben, Heather, and I were in Olive Garden try…

  • Thursdays are wondrous for me: I am such an anticipatory person (as opposed to enjoying actual days or events, by which time I am already thinking about the immediately forthcoming let-down) that I enjoy looking forward …

  • On Regional Language Differences This post will serve as a guide for my readers, so that they will not be hopelessly lost in the event that they visit the land on the other side of the Mason Dixon Line. Yankee Version…

  • can think of nothing relevant or amusing to say, so am depending on your responses for ideas ... don't disappoint me, now ...

  • I hate self-indulgence. It is loathesome and tiresome and yet, somehow, so very tempting. May God grant me the grace to avoid that which I hate but toward which am inexorably drawn nonetheless. on a lighter note, found …

  • Very busy day today (is there such a thing as reverse alliteration? as in where subsequent words end in a certain letter? like "y"? anyway...) with a choir director's luncheon at the community college, to which I will pr…

  • hate it when children deface things in the room. grrr to whomever wrote on my calendar (Bill) and put gum on the floor (have no idea). BUT am determined to be positive today, even if the effort kills me. which it might. …

  • putrid mood persists, compounded by various external factors (including wretched choir rehearsal and dissatisfaction with outfit selected for today) but still relatively unexplained. Blah Blazo.

  • get to drive the Alford's brand spanking new Honda Civic 5-speed back from Memphis this afternoon - i am so freaking excited! seem to be slightly morose and disgruntled for no good reason. stupid emotions.

  • finally have internet back, though losing it for a few days pales in comparison to the utter devastation wrought on the southern half of this great state. still annoying, though. whoa, for some reason I have a premium a…
