Sittin' in the Dark.

Thanks to Brennan and John, I was brutely awakened to the fact that I haven't blogged in a month. My response to John was that I don't think I'm creative enough for blogging. It takes a lot of time for me and doesn't come naturally!!

So, alas boys - here's a post for ya tonight. This post is random and probably a little more brutaly honest about where I stand in life right now - than some of my previous posts.

I smiled today when I realized that my new red swingline stapler that Tyler gave me for Christmas, matches my brand new red desk in my new office. I am in the middle of yet another transition at the Creek. This makes for transition #5 out of (only God knows) how many more to come. I realized today that I don't much mind changing slots at the Creek. I love working there. I love the people, I love the mission, I love the teaching. As long as God can use me there - I'll keep serving. I look at Willow as one big puzzle. I'm one piece in that huge puzzle - and I keep trying to fit into different holes. Hopefully going back to Impact is the right hole. I pray that it is. I am super geeked and super excited. I start monday. And today - I moved my office...

I realized also that I hate hate hate water-proof mascara. That crap never wants to come off! Try water, try makeup remover, try gasoline - and that crap won't budge. Thats great for those moments in Therapy at 7:30 in the morning when your make up is freshly done - and you're bawling like a baby... but is a pain in the butt when you're trying to take it off at the end of a rediculously long day. Oh well - there is no happy medium in the world... Well I guess there is - and that's called "being a boy". :)

The past few days I've spent a lot of time alone. After many weeks of people overdose, I chose to spend the last few days or evenings by myself catching up on life. It's refreshing. :) I spent that precious time getting rid of a bunch of un-used stuff, completing all my Christmas Returns/Exchanges/GiftCard Redemptions/etc, wrote thank you notes, caught up on paperwork, and on and on and on. It's getting caught up on little stuff like that, that makes me so much happier and healthier on the inside.

So, I had a rude couple of awakenings in the last couple of days about my health and my appearance. When I saw a lady on "The Biggest Loser" tonight, who was only 10 lbs heavier than I am - I finally realized that I'm so out of shape and have stopped caring! Well, I shouldn't say that I stopped caring - cause I always care about this issue - it's just that I stopped doing anything about it. This is more than a weight issue for me - it affects my apperance, my wardrobe... :) , my self image, attitude, etc. I think I finally got the wake up call that I had been waiting for - to take control of it - and start eating healthier and whip myself back into shape. Starting next week, I have to hold my own on the production staff again - and keep up with high schoolers! I can't do that, in this shape I'm in!

And we've now come to the point in the blog where i don't know what else to say - and now I feel like a schmo. My eye balls are burning - so I must sleep.

Peace out home fries.
