Long day and a very good night =)

17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.

Habakkuk 3:17-19

everything is amazing.

sick sick siiiiiiiiiiiick.

 I'm lucky that I don't frequently get sick, but when  I do catch something I get really sick. So OF COURSE I get sick this week, which happens to be the week of my grandma's 70th birthday bash. Today was really lame! Not knowing what to do with myself, and worried that I'm going to look like rudolph the red-nosed reindeer in all the party pictures, I admit I sat around feeling sorry for myself and eating the frosted  heads of the remaining gingerbread men I baked last week.

 I also finished an impressive amount of movies on Netflix. It was a Baz Luhrmann marathon kind of day. "Romeo + Juliet", "Strictly Ballroom", and "Australia" are my favorite of his films. But "Strictly Ballroom" is the best; it always steals my heart. I heard he was making a film of the novel The Great Gatsby...  I really hope so, he would do a fantastic job. If and when that comes out I will be first in line to see it :)

"A life lived in fear is a life half-lived"

 Around 4pm my brain finally had enough of my pity party and decided to try and be as productive as a sickly and ruthless gingerbread man-eater could be. So what did I do? I turned into Susie Homemaker is what I did. Did some laundry, sewed together a Christmas present pillowcase (!!!!), and made basil chicken soup from scratch. Go Susie!

Cara mia te amo

My favorite Dean Martin song. Everytime I hear it at the restaraunt, I have to stop and listen.

Punctuation.

LOVE them!!

We  all have done one of these things or know someone who does! They bring to light a lot of issues/ bad habits in a Christian's daily spiritual life. I definitely saw me in some of their characters. See if you do too.
