It is Reformation Day, as well as Día de los Muertos. I don't have much in particular to say, but I think these are important holidays, so I'll mention something. I actually wasn't sure for a while how I felt about Día de los Muertos. We celebrated it in chapel at TLU, and I found the skeletons and some other aspects of it a little creepy and, ( Read more... )

The intro page tells me today is the day of German Unity when East and West Germany were reunited in 1990 (if I'm not mistaken the wall came down in Nov. of 89). So I felt I needed to write something here in honor of that. I actually just got all my Europe photos printed, and put them in an album yesterday, and need to just caption them now. ( Read more... )

So, I am beginning to wonder if my life is really gonna always be difficult, and I am also wondering if grace/blessings must only come in association with 'near death' experiences. I don't really think they do, but today did cause me some wonder. I was driving home from work down 123, and there was a car in the left hand lane slowed to turn, and ( Read more... )

Well, I'm waiting on James to finish writing something so I can proof it for him so I figured I'd write in here since i'm through playing on facebook. So much for that last bit about $3.01 for gasoline, I've paid $3.15 now, and who knows what it'll be in another couple of days. Ugh. It's hard to believe gasoline has gone up so much in about 10 ( Read more... )

Well, it's official, I have now paid 3 dollars a gallon for gasoline. I put it off as long as I could, but it was inevitable. Actually it was 3.01. Bah. The place that's generally the cheapest around here, just north of New Braunfels on 35, has been 2.99 but today on my way home from church it was 3.01, and it might be cheaper in Seguin by a ( Read more... )

So, I finally jumped on that bandwagon and got itunes, and so far I love it, especially since I can also listen to Jess's music since we share an internet connection. It's pretty sweet. And I'm listening right now. I worked from 7-4 today, earliest shift I've worked yet. I had to get up at 5:45. I'd say it's been forever since I've been up ( Read more... )

Well, today at work has been the best yet, I think, though I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say it was awesome or anything like that...ha. But it might not kill me after all, which is nice. And I think my computer is going to behave for the time being, I hope. I reinstalled my two messenger programs and several drivers (I probably didn't need to ( Read more... )

Jess and I just figured it out, I'm so proud. The French stole all the Czechs' vowels! That explains why French has so many and Czech has so few. It all makes sense now ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I go to Lowe's for my first day of training/work. I'm kind of excited, and a little scared. I forgot to mention my trip to Europe to them before, and hope they aren't mad about it, though if I have to cancel it so be it. I am glad I finally have a real job that seems to be in relatively the right place, and my God I want this to work, ( Read more... )
