What’s for lunch today? Well, glad you asked. Half a bag of deli-mustard pretzels from yesterday. And a Java Chip Frappuccino (yes, that is the former Chocolate Brownie Frappuccino. I asked. And yes, I’m aware that I can’t actually spell Frappuccino right. But I do it the same way each time. Charming, no?)

The last few days have been interesting. Talked to Talked to Tried to talk to I’ve been broke all week. Actually brought all my change to work on Tuesday – $15 – so I could enjoy coffee until payday (tomorrow). Had minor crisis yesterday while driving to church, realized (remembered?) that my spending habits suck and I’m so crappy at finances and I might not be able to go to Boston for Personal life has been… more exciting this week than it has been in a while.
Small amount of hammock-sitting, too. Such a delight. I know Co-worker gave me a Krispy Kreme today. It didn’t go so well with the Pop Tarts I was eating for breakfast/lunch. So later I had a Frappuccino and mustard pretzels for lunch/afternoon snack. Guess what I feel like right now? Finally got rocks for the bottom of Monster’s fish bowl. They’re purple, and coordinate nicely with his red body and blue stripes. He really likes the rocks. Hangs out with them a lot. He’s much happier and more active, too. Plus, it keeps the water cleaner for a longer period of time. Peace out! Here’s an article [link removed] from World Vision on the 10-year anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. And here’s how you can learn more about World Vision‘s current action in Rwanda. I’m considering adopting a second child through World Vision. No, wait. A first child through World Vision. Iriseth is through Compassion International. But I need to get my finances a little more in order (or any order at all) before doing so. I would really like a child from Rwanda. Or Malawi, where  No, I didn't get Leeann Chin twice for lunch. Just clearing off my desk and found this one I'd been saving. I started a new book last night (after having finished book 2 of Lord of the Rings and being too broke to purchase book 3 right now) by Calvin Miller (see the link for biography information). The book I’m reading is “A Requiem For Love,” which is basically a dramatic, poetic retelling of the creation story. Here’s the part that caught me last night: [God speaking to man] “… There is no such thing as ‘giftless’ love. Here it is…  OK, so it's not actually today's - it's one from a while ago. But today's sucked. Listening to: Jessica Andrews, “Now”  ...we saw Rent this weekend? Here's proof! Monster (my work fish, a male beta) is the only fish left. Bandit passed away on Friday night. I’m going to let the tank sit empty for a while to hopefully get rid of some toxins or just… let it be. Had a pretty good weekend, even though I spent way more money than I should have. Rent was awesome, as was Tanpopo. On the way to Rent (we parked in the Fields’ lot) we stopped in so I could show Saturday morning I went to a meeting and secured a community garden plot for Watched “Miss Congeniality” and ate pizza for dinner. No, wait, pizza was Sunday lunch. Saturday night I made potatoes and chicken with mushrooms and garlic. And coleslaw. Eh, not too great, but not horrible. Next time, I’ll use the right kind of vinegar. Sunday was spent waking up late (skipping first service and most of Sunday School) and then after I did get to watch Crossing Jordan when I got home, despite the storm that blew through here. Drove very slow on the way home. But I kept myself company with thoughts of a charming guy and things he said. [remaining calm] Here are some adorable pictures of the felines, taken awhile back. They’re laying on my sleeping bag on the floor, which they love. Hence it needs to be washed.  Aren't we cute?  Close-up of the lovebirds.
 This is my favorite game to play with Matea. Put her in my shirt. She hates it. Mostly because she doesn't like being close to anyone's face, and because she doesn't really like me. Unless I'm the only one around, in which case she loves me. I said it yesterday and I’ll say it again. I go a little crazy on crushes. Really. Trying to control myself at the moment. If he could be, perhaps, a little less perfect and charming, that would help a lot. Thanks. Have I mentioned lately (of course not, because I’m not so good at giving praises) that I have THE COOLEST ROOMMATE EVER. Not only did she buy me a beer last night to celebrate her bonus at work, but she is taking me to Rent tonight! Amazing! Today is the most perfect day ever. Tanpopo for dinner, then Rent, plus a very nice email from a perfectly charming gentleman. Really. I can’t stop smiling. One of my coworkers left early so he didn’t have to deal with my unusually-happy self. Listening to: my heart beating. tha-thump. tha-thump Didn’t exactly blog like I thought I would. Sorry. The guys came and fixed my computer and didn’t even yell at me too much, so that’s good. I still have a mini-headache, despite taking 2 Aleve (my headband is too small today, and pushing right into that part of my head that gives me headaches). I’m pretty caught up on work right now, so… any fun ways to pass the time this week would be appreciated. Oh, I have minorly solved part of the cash flow problem – teach a piano lesson on Wednesday. There’s an easy $20. I only have to make it until Friday morning. I read this article [link removed] today about the anniversary of the Rwandan genocide. Here are the two things that struck me:

on Sunday night and found out he’s been called back to his temporary job, and he had an interview on Monday, a second interview. He’s been out of work long enough – I really think he deserves this.
on Sunday night too. We hadn’t talked in 3 or 4 weeks (despite the fact that we live less than an hour apart). Amazingly enough, neither of us had much to say.
. She hasn’t called me back yet. Huh. Did get an email though.
‘s wedding. 
helped me out, though. We might be driving together. Instead of me flying alone.
was rough yesterday. Two of my junior high boys (OK, my only two junior high boys) were over-the-top last night, and I had to keep them afterward to tell them that if their behavior was ever repeated, I would send them home and talk to their parents. That’s always a fun conversation to have.
is. Or both. Hmm. I wish I made more money so I could give more of it away.
