Breeus!
hehe... J. Brees single-handedly saved New Orleans... wow. pretty impressive.
Anyway... I thought that the superbowl was pretty boring. According to my friend Justin, I am terribly hard to please. Other than that super pile-on that occurred at one point, it was hard to get my head into the game. It might have helped if I had at least an inkling of allegiance to either team. I think that its a bit easier to have allegiance when you know who is playing before the day of the big game.
I'm updating now, because I'm sitting here not wanting to do the work that I planned to do. I'll do some later after a well-needed nap. (unplanned)
Things have been going really well on my end. I haven't had internets in a long time in my place of residence... and I think that this has impacted my faith life in many profound ways. In other ways... I feel very disconnected from the work that I LOVE to do. Working with the Youth Advisory Board and working with the Foster Care Alumni of America. One day I'm going to work for the Child Welfare Training Program... or anything similar and its going to be a lot of fun. (this is me over glorifying the job) but I'm still under the ruse that it is possible to Love the work that you do. I just have to jump on that masters!
I made myself a deal. Once my 2009 dictations are caught up, then I can start contacting with my place of employment. Thats when I can start doing fun stuff... But I have to get caught up first.
Anyway thats a pretty decent sized post its time for me to head out again.
peace

locked-out
Yep, thats me... I got locked out of my house.
Thankfully my friend Naida and her Brother Josh were here... yeah I paid them to shovel the snow
I'm thankful that no one thought that we were maliciously breaking into the house. Although it could have been an extra set of hands to pry the door open, if the police were to arrive.
I was poorly clothed for these conditions... I only had rubber boots on, which maybe water proof, are not well-insulated against the cold. My feet were freezing.
To add to the urgency of the situation, there was a pot boiling on the stove! (I made a pledge that if things got ugly, a window was going to have to break)
Alas, we made it into the house!!!!! And very little damage, which means very little out of my pocket.

ta-da!!!
I'm excited. I'll have some good alone time for a few weeks... I think it could be helpful and full of recommittment to God (spelling?)
I've hit an all time low, and I can sort of attribute that to the stage of life I am in, or I can attribute it to a phase (same things I guess) but, as usual I want to get back on track.
I wish life was just a straight shoot... no BS.
I also hate the feeling of jealousy I've been prone to getting lately. Its like I don't like who I've become. Not that I'm all bad. I have a good heart and I hope that it never changes... Its just how I view myself and the people around me.
*sigh*
Hopefullly more laters!
Looooooove ya and miss you guys!

too early!
I'm up, and preparing to take someone to the airport. Its currently 3:35am. Although I'm not the one you need to feel sorry for. His flight is 18 hours long back to South Africa.
18 hours stuck in a place. I wonder how many people go nuts?
I think I'd lose a part of myself :-p Just picking... haha... Its the earlyness talking.

Just an update
I'm still working
I turned 23 on Tuesday. I'm trying to get my life back on track after a huge lull in activity and personal growth. I'm not enjoying the chillness anymore so its back to work, and reorganizing my life. I even wrote out my goals with deadlines! I never do that! haha.
how are things with you guys? I hope that the world is treating you well. I can't guarantee that I'll update more, but maybe I'll have some posts in a few months talking more in depth about what I am doing and what I am reading.
Well cheers!

About Me
-
I love to explore and try new things. Everyday I am trying to learn more about God and to be his loving daughter. I'm passionate about justice and advocating for foster children. Mostly because I myself was one for 13 years. God has made me a very beautiful and talented girl. I'm goofy and am discovering that I am a target for getting picked on. haha. I'm not blond though. I am a very deep and compassionate person who's breadth of feeling and understanding places the world on her shoulders. I love saying hi and learning about new things :-) I am your average 21 year old... I like camping and rock climbing, I do art! Travelling-- I've been to England, Scotland, Norway, Spain, and Trinidad (3 years ago this was never thought possible)... My goal for xanga is be one of those people who get 20+ comments. haha. (okay now I'm being dreamy...
