I'm a slacker.

I was sneauxed in ya'll! But doesn't my house totally look like it needs snow everyday?

So, when it sneaux's in Louisiana, I get up at 6:30 AM and call everyone I know. The cool part is when you wake people up and tell them to look outside and then they say and they don't actually have anything there yet.

Hammond, where I live, got 9 inches of Sneaux!! How freakin cool, right? I couldn't have lived in a better place for snow. I walked around downtown and saw people I knew at like 7am. So much fun!

Anyways, it was fun for a cold minute, but then the electricity went out b/c Louisiana trees and power lines aren't designed to withstand the weight of snow. So I evacuated with a wet head (b/c when I got out the shower the power went out and left me cold) to Baton Rouge and spent the day with the boyfriend :)

I should be studying...

Final exams here I come! Yuck, I'm really not looking forward to it!
On a side note, I got to spend time with a few of my favorite people this weekend! Got to see the boyfriend Thursday night, my two best friends, and my family! :) I drank way too much Friday night, and I was definitely that girl.
Saturday I saw this:






Transport for Christ MUDFLAPS!

I look at Lacey with an eyebrow raised.

I say: What do you think they are transporting for Jesus?
Lacey: Baby Jesus'?
Me: Hm...
Lacey: baby lambs?
Me: I was thinking Mur. Yes, Frankincense and Mur...
Lacey: Genius.

O Bonsai Tree, O Bonsai Tree....

Don't laugh. It's cute. And I have a good explanation.
a) apparently it's tacky to leave your Christmas tree up for several months post Christmas.
b) I'm lazy
c) I don't really have space
d) I think I'd forget to water it, which would be ashame.
e) I'm lazy
f) Those tree farmers always cut too many little trees and I'm putting my foot down!
g) The bonsai tree goes with my theme for this Christmas. Azian Persuzian? Err...I'll have to get back to you on what the theme is... but it's a good idea in theory

My Favorite...Websites.

For Giving

What Is Kiva?
We Let You Loan to the Working Poor
Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty.
Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world.
The people you see on Kiva's site are real individuals in need of funding - not marketing material. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get your loan money back, you can relend to someone else in need.
Kiva partners with existing expert microfinance institutions. In doing so, we gain access to outstanding entrepreneurs from impoverished communities world-wide. Our partners are experts in choosing qualified entrepreneurs. That said, they are usually short on funds. Through Kiva, our partners upload their entrepreneur profiles directly to the site so you can lend to them. When you do, not only do you get a unique experience connecting to a specific entrepreneur on the other side of the planet, but our microfinance partners can do more of what they do, more efficiently.

If the world has an obsession with love, why isn't there enough?

The Beatles wrote a song about it...All We Need is Love.
Why didn't we join the "Love Train" back in the 70's? Or decide that War was good for absolutely nothin'?
Poems have been existing about LOVE since people could write. Since there was an alphabet.
I don't even mean romantic love. I mean love, one of the most commonly used words in every language, yet one of the least understood. If we love One, why can't we love All? Why can we love our brother or sister, and not love everyone else? Are they unloveable? Undeserving of love? The person standing in front of you at the grocery has a sibling that loves them. A wife that misses them. The person who cuts you off in traffic has a mother with cancer. Yet, for the briefest moment, that very thought doesn't exist. So, when terrorists attack a hotel full of people in a small place called the Taj Mahal- Where is the love? The opposite of love is hate.

It's a concept called "Universalism". The living truth is seen as more far-reaching than national, cultural, or religious boundaries. LOVE is the universal binding force. Every religion believes in love. So we all believe, ultimately, in the same thing. The details are what seperates us.


We all have parents. We all put our pants on the same way. Raise your hand if you've ever had your heart broken..or felt sad...or have been happy...or haven't met someone's expectations.
Raise your hand if you've ever felt like a minority.
Raise your hand if you've ever felt alone.
These things are not definative of one race, or one religion or gender. We all have things in common. Even if it's only a few things.

I have the flu, and an awesome boyfriend

Savvy combination, I thought...
I had a really good weekend with the boyfriend, aside from using an entire roll of toilet paper on my nose and keeping him up all night with my coughs. Friday he brought me to a concert, and Sunday we drove a couple hours to go meet his grandparents. His grandfather had a minivan he wanted to give him, so now my boyfriend totally drives a minivan and a motorcycle (awesome combination). Mind you, he's 27 and has no kids of his own, but has about 30 teenagers that he teaches. Now he can use this to tote around the teenagers, and I'm totally getting him a "mom's taxi" sticker...or maybe a "my child is an honor roll student..." ?? which would be cooler? Or, better ideas?
Anyhow, I met his grandparents who, like the rest of his family, looove me. His grandmother actually called him a few hours after we left to tell him that I was "cute as a button" , and Prime Rib. Yes, Prime Rib. Oh man, they are some cute country old people. But his grandmother did this thing that they sometimes do and said....

" I was kinda hoping I'd get some great grandchildren before I'm too old to hold them"....

Uh, thanks grandma, wtf do I say now???? And then the thought crossed my head that my dad definately told the neighbor I was probably a lesbian b/c I wasn't married and I didn't have kids. Helloooo people, I. am. not. that. old!

Anyways, we did alot of driving this weekend and spent 98% of it talking and the other 2% karaoke-ing. I definately do a good Janis Joplin/ Stevie Nicks when I'm sick. We're starting a band. The talks were awesome and my heart is very happy. The End.
