blanket.    2006-01-02 22:13:26 ET
I am making a baby blanket. it's for a friend that had a baby two weeks ago. Usually in church circles, when some one has a baby, ends up in the hospital, has a family member die...ETC.. others try to band up around them and help them out... usually in the form of making dinners for a couple of weeks. it's practical if you think about it. if you've just gone through a life changing event, the last thing you want to do is figure out what to eat or even grocery shop. I recently found out that no one did this for my friend. I assumed that they, being the assistant pastors of our church would be taken care of. As I emerged from my cocoon of last semester, I inquired about a sign up list to be added to, only to find none... I am going to see what I can do to rectify this. I've already called and am taking her dinner tomarrow night... hence baby blanket making tonight.

 future?    2006-01-01 15:22:41 ET
New years has to be the most anticlamatic holiday. There is all this planning, pondering, celebration and anticipation to what? We whatch a stupid ball drop and then it's over. Yippee Skippee there is a new day. It's a new year. We are grasping our future! This isn't the future! Where are the flying cars? We don't even have weather control!

 trivial    2005-12-29 09:34:48 ET
So I have started about twelve different journal entries in the last two days. I stop myself and delete them becase I reread what I written and I find it trivial and stupid. Not that I think my life is boring. There's alot going on in my life. I just got married. I had a honeymoon in Italy. I just finished a semster of school that kicked my butt. There is stuff to talk about. I guess I just feel trivial and noninteresting.
I went to Tahoe for Christmas. I hate Tahoe. I love the people I get to see when I am there. So it was defiantly a love-hate trip. Christmas was nice. I got an amazing necklace from my husband. My mom is getting better at buying me clothing, and I was a good wife and bought cool Game boy accessories for my man. He was mostly happy because I finally gave him his gameboy back... I have to get myself one... Kim Possible 3 is out!
I also got to hang out with three of my closest friends. That is what made this christmas really fun. I was a bit worried because I have been around the old crews when new spouses were added into the mix. Not always a good resault. My Love fit right in. This was a huge sigh of relief. I like that the good parts of my past fit well with my future.
Anyway, it just made me sad to go home. I am not a huge fan of Southern California. San Diego is an annoying place to live. School is what keeps me here. And though I have tried, I just haven't made friends here that I can at odd hours or go play games with. Spending a few days with the friends I can, makes me feel lonely.
I blew up at Dave in the shopping mall yesterday because he wasn't happy about following me around the store as I made exchanges. I explained to him that he was my only friend I had here to go places with. He reminded me that it wasn't always a good idea to Take husbands shopping. So I left my shopping and we went home.
