You're Unbelievable

Top Ten Statuses of 2010 (according to the facebook ap)

10. God is good
9. today has been a bit frustrating but it's okay because I know I'm going to get pie. I'm not an "I eat my feelings," kind of girl, but pie can cover a multitude of wrongs.
8. first Black Friday experience SUCCESS!!! Do I ever want to do it again? DEAR GOD PLEASE NO!!!
7. packing stuff in my room while listening to N Sync. "Yes yes yes here we go! N Sync has got the flow!"
6. taking a facebook fast until I am as faithful to spending time with God as I am to checking my facebook. This one may be awhile...
5. I'm home I'm home I'm home!!! Hurray Thanksgiving break!!!
4. Cheez-its and Welch's Grape Juice are my version of cheese and wine.
3. finds it wonderfully ironic that she just zoned out in class, and when she looked up at the powerpoint screen, the current slide was titled, "Attention Span."
2. the Bachelor makes me want to throw up.
1. watching Charlie Brown Christmas... Yay :) I miss the old, good-hearted cartoons.

Kind of an odd mixture. And the number 1 is DEFINITELY not my best status of 2010. But that's okay.

Right now I am in my kitchen eating the taste that you can see (Cinnamon Toast Crunch,) and realizing that I haven't blogged in a few days which always stresses me out. I have this horrible compulsive habit of including too much detail, and I feel like the world won't turn correctly unless I tell everyone everything about the last 3 days of my life. I don't know why, really. Because it's not like people are going to be really upset if they don't know every intricate detail of my life. It's actually quite the opposite. They'll be incredibly bored. But nonetheless I still must fight this compulsion that I have managed to just waste 82 words describing. So here goes...

Tuesday, I played housewife while Olivia worked from 2:30-8:30, and gee whiz was it boring! Ha. I was doing alright for awhile, I did some painting and watched some movies, but then I was starting to feel claustrophobic knowing that I literally had no way to escape the apartment (no car). So I skyped Tammera. Then Liv came home and we made chicken alfredo and applesauce, stuffed ourselves to the brim, and watched 10 straight episodes of Spongebob. Wednesday we drove back when Liv got out of work and the Mwakanandi's dropped me off at home. The girls hung out in the kitchen and the guys were downstairs watching football. It was really pretty fun. I love my best friend and our mamas :)

Last night, I stayed up WAY too late because I also have this obnoxious compulsion to finish whatever I've started, whether that means staying up til 2 am or 6 am. Last night happened to be the latter... I was working on Emily's present while also watching (don't judge) The Degrassi (okay, judge). I got hooked this summer. And what can I say, I'm a sucker for Canadians. I love how they say Sorey, how they raise high school english teachers (Mr.Kleyn) and they encompass Andrew Bravener and his youtube emporium of awesome. This is still no excuse. I am sorry I let you down, Paul Patton. I chose to watch high schoolers have sex with each other and do drugs instead of enriching my life and cultivating my own gifts. But I just had to know what happened next! Sigh.

I got up at noon today and showered and got ready, went into the church for a few minutes, and then finished up my Christmas shopping. For 6 hours. In 7 stores. 8, if you count Taco Bell. Bah. Too many relatives. I feel like most everyone else my age has to buy for parents and siblings and select friends. But I have to buy for parents and siblings and brother-in-laws and nieces and nephews and step-nieces and step-nephews and select friends, of which I have selected quite a few. It's quite the list. And it is hard to figure out what to by 40 and 50-year-old men that are not your father, let me tell you. But, IT IS FINISHED! Except for one emergency gift I have to get tomorrow. Stupid nowhere carried Gilmore Girls. Plans = foiled. But it's okay. I am fairly happy with my successes and the gifts I have to give people. A few may have even reached the legendary standard. But many of them also require/have required a lot of work.

In other news, a Turkish man thinks I'm beautiful. He didn't go quite so far as to say "founded by fate," but close enough. I really have a way with profile pictures I guess... Ohhhhh Orhan. I have also spent about 8 hours skyping with Tammera this week. I must get to bed. I convinced myself to not complete the project I was working on tonight. I still might watch one last episode of Degrassi though. Sigh. I am ashamed. Tomorrow night, I am speaking in the Christmas Eve service. I'm pretty nervous, not gonna lie, so I've dealt with it by avoiding thinking about it and not preparing at all. Good choice, right?

Merry Christmas Adam (and yes, I am aware you are not Adam) Have a Merry Christmas Eve.
