What a week, what a week! It's Saturday and I've had a very awesome day! I slept in, ran an errand or two. The day was gorgeous! One of those days when you drive with your windows down, the music blaring and you're just so happy to be alive!
Later in the morning I started to finish up some cleaning in my bedroom when I heard something fall in my shower. I walked in to see a plant my parents had gotten me for Valentines Day had been blown off the windowsill by the wind. At that moment I decided to transport it into a bigger pot, I've been wanting to but just hadn't taken the time. I went into the garage and found my potting soil and picked out the new pot. I have a few. I started with two that needed to be put in larger pots. It's a very therapeutic feeling to have your fingers full of dirt! I didn't hold back, allowing myself to get fully submerged in the task. Before I knew it I had every plant I owned outside and repotted, and my jeans were totally soaked! Sitting on the ground with a hose will do that. hehe I went through two bags of potting soil. But I'm thrilled to have it done! It was a great feeling! I felt so domesticated! hehe Mike wondered where they all came from, apparently he doesn't go into my room too often.
Yup! I'm even posting pics of some of my plants! My favorite is the 2nd from the left
Here they are, these are the ones I repotted
I just looked down to see the wedding invitation to Turtle's wedding. I'm very intrigued by the idea of a Gothic Wedding. I am excited to go. Not sure if I'm going to ask someone to go with me. I can't imagine any of the guys I could bring as my date really wanting to go, but what guy wants to go to a wedding ever? We'll see. I have to RSVP by mid April. I should know by then. I'll probably just go alone. That way I can enjoy the wedding through the lens of my camera. I will have people there to keep me company but I'm somewhat of an outsider in my old goth crowd. I do love my friends, especially Joe and Ericka!
I’m listening to Bright Eyes. It totally fits my mood. I’m very reflective at the moment. I am looking forward to just spending the evening dusting and enjoying my redecorated room. I plan on toning down the knickknacks. I find that I don’t like the type of clutter that I have going on right now. I’ve wanted to go through the stuff in my garage and maybe do a garage sale, but I know it’s not going to be a big one, so I’m not sure what I should do. I have a couple great items from PartyLite that I’m sure people would really want. I’m just not sure if I’m ready to get rid of them. But what am I ever going to do with a chandelier? It's beautiful, I really should just figure out how to put it up!
I’ve been doing some research online. It started with Drew and I looking up “Easter Bunny” on Wikipedia at the midweek bible study. Wikipedia rocks! This week I’ve found myself researching anything I’m unsure about. Last night I even researched a very taboo topic that I just realized a friend of mine is into. I’m intrigued at the reason behind it. He hasn’t shared much with me, nor has he confirmed (nor denied) I’m accurate in my assumption. But I chose to research it anyways. There are a lot of misconceptions, and I’m glad I looked into it myself. All the questions and reservations I had are no longer there. It’s still not something I’d be into but interesting none-the-less.
Going back to the fact that I’ve been researching more and more lately, I think something just hit me. Oddly a situation with another friend which I wasn’t very happy about at first may be the main reason I’ve taken to research. Interesting, I hadn’t thought about that! Early in the week I was talking to a friend and I felt I was spanked (and not in the fun way!) by him for not understanding certain things like the stock market. I was so not expecting it, it came out of left field and at the time I felt attacked. Since then we’re ok, he called the next morning apologizing because he felt bad I misunderstood what he was trying to say.
And the topic in question that day STILL doesn’t interest me. But it did open me up to realize I probably should put some energy into learning about the things (even financial things) I don’t understand. I always avoid the unknown, especially when my circumstances (or should I say… finances?) are so bleak. In some respects I know what took place that night was not my friends fault. He only cared about me enough to share his advice and concerns. I think I was already doing everything in my power to avoid the unknown with my finances and well he figuratively slapped me on the face with it quite unexpectedly. That night I took some much needed quiet time with God. It’s the first time I’ve taken any quality time to share my heart and cry out to the Lord.
The next morning I happened to visit my friend James blog and guess what was linked just that morning? Yup, financial advice! Anything I was questioning listed in this resource page he posted. So I guess my researching actually started with that! Crazy how God works huh?
Well I’m going to go enjoy more therapeutic activities. Hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!
