Back by popular demand...

Okay, one person (Rebekah) doesn't really constitute "popular" demand, but I'm going with it! But I'm writing during down time in Warcraft (NERD!!!!) so it's going to take me awhile to write, but you'd never know that if I hadn't told you.

I'm watching Food Network Challenge - Disney Celebration Cakes. I love the challenges, especially when they're Disney based. After this episode is another Disney one that I've never seen. Very cool!

Watching this has confirmed that I want to go to Disneyland for my 30th birthday next year. I tried to look up prices, but it's too far in advance. I (tentatively) want to fly down on the 9th and come back on the 12th. Probably 3 days at the parks. Of course I don't want to go alone and as much as I love my Dad, I want to go with a friend or friends. So I'm putting this out there as a SAVE THE DATE, if you want to go. As Shelley has pointed out, saving needs to start NOW! I'm not sure how much it'll cost, but I'm anticipating $600/person. That's what it cost Shelley and I for everything (except food) a couple years ago. Granted, this would be a day longer I think. But it's a ballpark figure nonetheless. So, are you interested?? I know EVERYBODY will want to go, but realistically, is it something you would consider? I'd love to have you there!!!

Let's see...what else has been going on??? I haven't seen Marc in 2 weeks now. He's been busy, but a little weird too. Don't know where it's going, probably nowhere, but I'm not stressed about it which is nice.

I've been having some God issues lately. I just don't really care anymore. I mean I do, I believe and everything, and I know He has a plan for me, BUT I am completely 100% unmotivated to do anything about furthering my faith. I have all these resources (friends, books, etc.) but I can't seem to bring myself to do anything about it. It's like I'm in a desert, dying of thirst, and there's water right in front of me, but I can't bring myself to drink. I feel this way about other things too, chores, working out, and such. Things I need to do, I know I need to do them, but I just can't do them. What's up with that? Anybody got anything suggestions for that?

The whole daylight savings thing has been throwing me off. I never remember it bothering me before but this year (cause I'm old maybe? lol) I'm still feeling it a week later. It being light out later just throws me off...I think I have all this time left in the day, but I don't. GRRR!!! And it doesn't help that it's so freaking cold out...where's SPRING!?!

Work is going fine. Nothing exciting there. I started tutoring another kid, one that's been suspended for the rest of the year. So I tutor 5 days a week now. The extra money will be nice, especially for DISNEYLAND. I might pick up another suspended kid too, we'll see. He's a JERK so I don't mind if somebody else wants to tutor him.

Spring Break is coming up in 2 weeks. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have any exciting plans, but I have things I want to get done. I am going to walk every morning with Michelle. I also have a bunch of chores I want to do. I want to dust and vacuum EVERYWHERE, do some Spring cleaning, clean my deck, and re-caulk my tub. I thought about a road trip, but don't have the money for it.

Speaking of a road trip...I'm planning on one for Summer. If I work Summer School, I should be able to afford a trip, as long as gas prices don't go up too much. The ultimate plan would be up into Canada, through Calgary, Edmonton, Moose Jaw, down through North and South Dakota, swing by Colorado to see Alisha, swing through Nevada to see Katie, and then probably a stop in SF to see my Grandma and maybe Lisa. Then home. Sounds awesome doesn't it?! Want to join me?? I'm thinking the first 2 weeks of August maybe. Then I'll be home in time to get settled for next school year.

I just found a hole in my sock...I go through so many socks!!!

Okay, it's almost 8 and I haven't had dinner yet. I think I'm going to go do that now. And maybe take my bra off, it's bothering me. I hate having big boobs!

As far as the God thing goes, and the motivation, I think you have to stop doing just the things you feel like doing that are comfortable and start doing the things you know you need to do because it's the right thing. If you don't than it's going to lead to bigger problems. You have to choose to press into God because of what he's done for you. You have to choose to better yourself. If you wait to be motivated chances are that day won't come. God isn't going to knock on your door with the plan for your life, he says seek me first, then I'll give you your hearts desire. Hope I'm not getting too personal, I just desire that you start walking with the Lord in a great measure. But that means dying to self and seeking Him. But that's only where true fulfillment lies. It is a battle you are engaged in here. The fact that you know your relationship isn't right with God is evidence that the Holy Spirit is calling you to fix it.
