| My sister Kari gave birth to a 7 lb. 1/2 oz. baby boy yesterday morning. His name is Elijah, and he, as far as I can tell from pictures, is cute as a flippin' button. I get to see him next weekend... I AM SO EXCITED!!! If you have her email or #, congratulate her- it's a beautiful thing!! |

| I'M GOING TO BED EARLY. MY EYES HAVE BEEN BURNING ALL DAY, AND ME, FEARING UN-PRODUCTIVITY, HAS PUSHED ANY THOUGHT OF A SO-CALLED "NAP" OTHER VAGABONDS OCCASIONALLY TAKE RIGHT OUT OF MY HEAD. BUT ALAS, IT'S 8:00. I HAVE JUST A COUPLE MORE THINGS TO DO, AND THEN I'M HITTING THE PILLOW.
9:00. 9:00 ON A SATURDAY NIGHT... AM I ASHAMED? HEAVENS NO. I WAS NEVER COOL TO BEGIN WITH, SO WHY START NOW? :) |

| guitar should be relatively easy for me. i'm pretty good at music. i played the violin. i can keep a rythym... and yet... it is daunting. i'm afraid i'll fail, or i'll never really learn. so while i keep telling myself to practice, and that i can do it.... i also want to avoid practicing because i'm afraid i won't actually get better. some new chords just seem to stretch and hurt my fingers. i feel like it is physically impossible for me to play those. but e always tells me my fingers will stretch and they'll get easier and i just have to keep going. so i am. i'm not delving into it like i might want to, but i'm just consistently picking the guitar up and practicing for 20 minutes every couple of days. hopefully as i see my improvement and as God keeps nurturing a worshipping spirit in me again, i'll desire to play more just to honor Him. and so that's my story - today i learned three new chords and already they became slightly easier for me to do.
it is good to challenge yourself and to indulge in the passions you have. it gives life a richness |

| AND SO THAT'S ALL I GOT BECAUSE I NEED TO GET BACK OUT. |
