nothing to say

Really. It's why I haven't been blogging. I was going to do a couple of weekly features that have since fallen by the wayside. I love my little blog. Truly, I do. It just doesn't have a permanent spot in my schedule. Now, might I add, that if I had the internet at work, this little bloggie would get a lot more attention. But, alas, I don't have the internet. Just Free Cell and I play that WAY too much!

I have been talking about re-reading the classics. Then I looked at a couple different lists of classics and realized that, well, I've never read most of them in the first place. So I'm starting. I was hoping that I could get away with re-reading The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye, but that's not good enough for some people (MD...) So I'm starting with Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. I watched the movie with S - Hugh Grant was in it - but, honestly, I have no idea what it was about. I like to intersperse the classics with a hearty dose of P.G. Wodehouse. :)

On exercise: A nice trance-y Moby song does not good walking music make. It was all I could do to put one foot in front of the other. I walk much better to Madonna's Hung Up. The trials, I tell you what!

Spent this past weekend at Montrose Bible Conference. It was nice. The weather was almost perfect and the meetings were good. I especially enjoyed the reading on the armour in Ephesians 6, Mr. Hyland's address on the Lord's Table, the Lord's Supper, and the camp, and Mr. Coleman's gospel. It was such a weird weekend. There were no older girls there. No one I am close friends with. I missed my sister a lot on Saturday. However, I had ample opportunity to talk to other people, both older and younger, whom I might not have talked to otherwise. It was just neat all around. :)

I'll leave you with a quote for Wednesday Wisdom:

"One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating." Luciano Pavarotti

my blog languisheth

So, um, I've missed like a couple of weeks. Oops! I've got a *good reason* however. I've been busy sorting out a banking error, so that's how I've spent all my time online. Seriously. This whole online banking thing is a little too complicated for me, I think. But then, today, it seemed like everything was in order and I had put in the right things and everything seems to be peachy. Well, excepting that there's never enough in the old checking account...

I am home alone this weekend. I was so looking forward to getting lots of things done. But I really didn't want to get out of bed this morning. When I finally arose and started breakfast, I dropped the bottle of canola oil and it spilled all over the floor. So I had to take time out to clean up the mess. Then I read the whole paper and a couple days worth of mail. (S-that card totally made my day. :) I'll write you about it soon!) I finally made it to the Farmers' Market around 11, and, of course, there was no lettuce to be seen. Man, I just hate buying it at the grocery store! Ran through the DT at Starbucks for an iced tall no classic light ice passion tea before heading to Kohl's. I was bra shopping, but ended up buying new sneakers instead. What was I supposed to do?! They actually had my size in sneakers... Then to the grocery store, and finally home. Where I was supposed to accomplish all sorts of fun things this afternoon, but instead, I spent lots of time online checking email and facebook. Then I went for a walk and now I am going to use up a free ticket and go watch the BMets [hopefully!] win.

Perhaps this coming week I can get back on track with the blogging???
