Hmmm... Sure, why not.

Well... since i last blogged I quit my job (for dozen upon dozens of reasons). I've now worked two of three weeks at Rim Rock as  a S.L.F.er leader. I've added to my "list" (future husband list). I know who's in my car and who never will be (Maybe I'll explain that to you if you ask... maybe not. But it never hurts to ask). I need a bigger Ipod (spacewise). I have a new life verse (Psalm 31:3). In the last two weeks - and probably the one to come - I've been called Mom, Mother, Mamma, Mommy, Mother sluffer(said as if dropping the F-bomb), Grandma, and Grandma Sluffer... oh and daddy (though i don't understand that last one). I've been mistaken for a 25 year old about 17 times. Told after talking about what my husband needs to be "dude! When you find that guy, I'm gonna steal him. He sounds awesome!". Seen a bit more than I ever wanted to on account of a mouse. Had some pretty deep conversations with my sluffer girls (awesome ones!). Drank a LOT of coffee (including some sacred coffee all this last week). I slept through all 4 meetings this week on accident (oops!) I got to spend some time with a very angry person (not outwardly... but a lot of hidden grudges). Restrung my violin (it just needed to happen). Broke 2 violin strings (ANGRY WORDS!). Got one replaced (whoot). I got complimented for my work on my violin by the music store owner... which made my day! Him being a master of music it reminded me of my master, and just how much it will make my LIFE if he compliments me one day for my work on my musical instrument (me and my world)... anyway... I've done alot and I'm now trying to figure out where the best place is going to be to be uncomfortable (because if i'm comfortable in this life there's something wrong). I want to be a nomad and a gypsy, just going places and being the "hands"... that's all, nothing more nothing less. And I know now... I'm ok, ok as in I know how to deal with shitty (excuse my french) times... I've already been through alot and survived. ok as in I don't care about what othr people say or think of me, I'm God's child and he made me for a reason... just how I am (I'm not saying that I don't care about other's opinions. Just that I will not conform or change to fit this world's standards.)

Well, Peace out. Talk to you soon!
