i'm the worst blogger ever
but seriously, i’m the worst blogger ever. expect this to pick back up in the next week or so…or don’t. a little suspense never hurt anyone, right?

prayer
lord,
provide me with the humility to recognize my desperation for your grace, the compassion to bestow it upon your people; the peace to accept your plans in my life, the empathy to pacify the turmoil in others’; the truth in areas of my life where i’m blinded, the strength to convey your truth to those in darkness; the mercy where i am too proud, and the grace to be merciful with...

JILLIAN.
short post, i’ve been doing jillian videos with my sis for the past few days and have decided that even though i think she’s rude and abrasive and has a freakish alien man bod, she’s a kick-a$$ trainer. point being, me and my new bff jill will be suffering together to lose my college weight by the end of the semester/beginning of the summer. for realz this time. i also bought two...
wait.
sometimes i feel like i’m sitting still in a sea of unknown like this chick (but much less glamorously), particularly at this point in my life where much really is unknown. the end of my college career is within reach and i have no idea what or where god wants me after this chapter of my life is over, yet i have unwavering confidence that the lord of my life is in control and that his...
betrothed
i can think of about five friends of mine that have gotten engaged in the past month…and there are quite possibly more than that. i’ve said before that at this point in my life i’m totally unprepared for marriage, and i still stand firmly by that statement but with all the wedding hype around me i’ve become a little bit obsessive looking at wedding blogs, engagement ring...
asylum
i love looking at interior design blogs…i’ve chosen not to face the reality that i really may not be any good at it and instead have opted for the “i have a really great eye” route. so, apart from the stark white walls (which to me are not relaxing, they make me feel like i’m in an asylum…who knows what that says about my perception of my mental health), i LOVE...
new years resolutions...
new year, new ways. i’m determined. i’m not really much of an analytical thinker but i really wanted to do new years resolutions right this year…i’m often guilty of setting unrealistic goals and because of my “all or nothing” mentality end up telling myself that i’ve fallen off the bandwagon and am now perma-stuck in my old unhealthy habits. rant. anyways,...

slacker
whoops. again. i’ve decided that rather than making false promises about being a religious blogger, i’m just going to say that i’m going to try harder..which is the truth.
a quick bit about what you’ve missed in my month-long absence from tumblr:
1. pretty much all of november. whoops. not too much happened other than slave labor in the form of schoolwork.
2....

whoopsies
i realize i’ve been super m.i.a. in the past month or so… unintentional i promise. and the end of my dry blog spell. some super exciting things that you’ve missed in the past month:
1. not dressing up for halloween.
2. not washing my sheets. (no joke, for a month. sick.)
3. burying my nose in my books because of several tests/papers/projects.
4. getting a terrible haircut...

bad things
i feel like i’ve heard the phrase “why do bad things happen to good people?” too many times to count, especially when people find out i’m a christian who whole-heartedly believes in the love of god and the perfection of his plans. and because i’m not god, i don’t always have an answer. the closest i can come (without segway-ing into a much longer discussion) is...
i'm a child.
tonight i found out a couple that i graduated with is engaged.
my range of emotions over this news went something like this:
surprise
excitement!
envy!
(crazy squinty eyes)
thoughtful…
realizing that i’m old enough to get engaged/married…
(slight trembling)
realizing that i’m growing up…
(nervous nonsensical eyes)
SHOCK.
after about 5 minutes of texting...
thankful
somewhere around 2 weeks ago, i discovered the blog hyperbole and a half and yall, it’s hilarious. my roommate and my friend from high school had told me about it but both have very unique senses of humor and i just wasn’t sure i was going to think it was as funny as they did but i’m super glad i checked it out-i spent somewhere around an hour reading by myself and laughing...
mondays...
as an eternal optimist, it’s hard for me to admit that i really don’t like mondays. really it’s just publicly acknowledging that i’m now one more voice in a sea of millions that are part of the “i hate mondays” club, and i suppose i’m still able to have a positive attitude about it, but i just really don’t care for mondays.
that being said, to...
why do i have a blog again?
it’s amazing to me that y’all still show an interest in my life when really i rarely have anything significant to write about.
exhibit a:
my past 24 hours have consisted of:
1. free loot at innisfree bar from the “less than you think” campaign. (sunglasses, gum, coozie..unfortunately no tshirt. they ran out of those before they got to me. snide looks towards those that...
make my day
wanna know what made my day today?
the reminder of the existence of one fictional ms. agatha trunchbull from matilda.
the epitome of manliness womanhood.
happy wednesday.
flyin' high
just got word that i made a B on my test from this morning…considering this professor told us at the beginning of the semester that we’ll “be lucky to make a c,” i’m pretty pumped.
i’m celebrating my good-grade-induced high by feasting on my weight in yogurt lab, watching glee, and going to bed early.
life is good.

inherently hypocritical
so my test is over and i’m back at my house feeling accomplished after a long afternoon+night of studying (oh, the life of a procrastinator) and crossing my fingers that i did as well as i think i did. prayers are appreciated.
i’m not quite sure why but the past week or so i’ve been listening to eerily nostalgic/melodramatic piano songs. i’ve pinpointed the start of this...
to be or not to be...
sometimes i wonder why i become unproductive. after all, it is a choice to be unproductive. i have a list about a mile long of tasks that i need to accomplish and yet i’m sprawled out on my day bed yawning as though i’m bored with my monotonous life.
truthfully, i haven’t been all that unproductive the past week or so… but i constantly find myself facing the choice of...

celebration
a few things i’m excited about (because i love lists and life’s too short not to thinkabout happy things!)
1. my friends and sister from uga are coming to visit this weekend! can’t wait to catch up, eat, watch football, dance, bar hop and not sleep. a toast to great high school friends!
2. i just discovered a twitter called “disney quotes.” it’s updated...
depravity
am i happy that it’s thursday? yes.
am i even more elated that it’s almost friday? yes.
am i overjoyed with my perma-state of hunger? no.
i’m having hallucinations of an assortment of ice cream flavors having a slumber party that i’m not invited to… this whole diet thing has turned my dreams into a live-action version of “candyland” circa katy...
home improvement
while i’m certainly no tim taylor, i’ve given my little blog some tool time touches and though i spent no money upgrading to some of the more elaborate themes on tumblr, i am thoroughly satisfied.
cheers to saving money and a fresh start to fall!
whoops
apparently while browsing potential new templates for my blog, i ended actually changing it when i certainly didn’t have the time to do so. it’s too late for me to fix it now, but give me 24 hours :)

janet
p.s. do not type in “whoops” on google images…i did this by mistake and was not pleased with the images it provided me. just fyi…
happy tuesday...
excited about it being tuesday for several reasons including: the start-up of glee season 2, french toast sticks for breakfast, a good night’s sleep on the sleeping porch, my freshly dyed fall hair, a free afternoon to do with as i please, ms pinky making my bed, another day closer to my friends at uga coming to visit, seeing all my friends at nav night, the discovery that we have a vhs...
bubble dreams
this afternoon i’ve had a little time and chose to spend it browsing my favorite fashion and design blogs lusting over things that are neither practical for a college student like myself nor affordable on my miniscule budget. a girl can dream….

worn-in hunter wellies, rustic hardwood floors, white detailing and purple flowers…so many things that...
backburner
so i’ve sort of neglected my little blog (again) these past couple of weeks…school is busy busy busy. buuuuut, here are a few things going on in mi vida:
1. i’ve finally gotten (somewhat) used to sleeping on the sleeping porch. slash really really like it. well, now that we’ve fixed the fan problem, that is. see, what makes it so great are the sub-zero temperatures and...
broken
so desperately grateful for the perfect love of my savior. how awe-inspiring that he loves me and always will despite the broken being that i am…
how great is our god!
