grateful list
one of my infamous grateful lists. [because, let's be honest, i've been a bit of a whiny wench lately.]
--missionaries. as of tomorrow, it's been a year. &, oh my heck, it's been a journey. & i can promise you it's far from over. i'm not at all where i want to be, in the end--but life is about growing. i'm grateful for the things he shared with me every day, no matter what else is going on in my life.
--dr. pepper. if you could see the amount of empty cans on my desk, you'd be disgusted. but some weeks i need it :)
--study dates... because, let's be honest, i get very little done when it's left solely up to me. but if someone's there, you'd better believe i work my hiney off.
--old friends. being able to text someone, out of the blue, who you literally can't remember the last time you spoke to them. & knowing that they will still "get" you. i love that comfort... knowing that someone has seen you in every single stage of your life--that you've been there for each other since before you can remember--and that you care about eachother. knowing that you can not talk for a month, and then talk all day every day for a month, and that that is okay. knowing that those times of silence don't mean you aren't friends. & i can honestly say you are one of those comfortable friends, & i wouldn't trade you for the world.
--tweezers. there are very few things i hate more than bad eyebrows. if yours suck, i'll try not to judge you... but i really can't make any guarantees. ;)
--that my parents taught me to love others. i'm amazed to see how naive and hateful some people can be. those types of attitudes [racism, sexism, etc.] was never tolerated in my house... & i'm thankful for that every single day.
--tomato soup. yummmmm. just what you need, after a final.
--good weeks. i think it takes bad weeks to remember how much you appreciate good weeks.
--sweatpants. some days, it's just way too much work to put on jeans.
--getting a letter in the mail. there's something about opening your mailbox and seeing an envelope with your name on it.
--only having three more days of school!!!!
--good hair days
--getting a phone call, from someone, just to see how you are doing. i don't think people realize that sometimes the smallest things mean the absolute most.

some freakin' people...
i can't even describe how incredibly annoyed i am right now.
today has been hellish. so i've been trying not to be a hot mess. [failing, but trying.]
anyway, tonight they announced that bin laden is dead. i try not to find that exciting, because i don't like to find joy in anyone's death. i guess i'm excited that we have justice for those people who were killed on 9/11, and have been killed since then defending our country.
anyway. of course on facebook everyone's statuses were about it... and someone [who will remain nameless] of course had to make theirs this huge political statement about hating obama.
REALLY?! this coming from someone who i [along with pretty much the rest of the world] feel is highly racist, i can't help but feel it has nothing to do with policy and everything to do with skin tone.
you poor, poor naive boy. i honestly pity you. someday, you're going to get a giant reality check and realize that you say terrible, terrible things. someday you're going to realize that outside of smalltown nebraska, you would get your butt kicked for saying half of the things you say.
i mean, really, you can't just take this as a step towards justice, & not be a douche about it? you had to turn it into that ridiculous statement? wow.
some people. some freakin' people.
