It's been a long time, I shouldn'a left you...

... without a dope post to touch you!

Ha!

Still love that song :)

Anyways, it's been OVER A MONTH since I've posted.
(Work is hectic, ya'll; I promise to try harder to post in the future!)

Even more, the last post I left ya'll was about some creeeeepy garbage I found on the interwebs!
How could I do that to all my what? 4 followers! LOL!

This post won't be that long, but hopefully it'll make it up to you with its randomness and hilarity!


First things first: A Funny Joke

CAR PRIVILEGES

A mother and father had just given their teenage daughter family-car privileges. On Saturday night she returned home very late from a party. The next morning her father went out to the driveway to get the newspaper and came back into the house frowning. At 11:30 AM the girl sleepily walked into the kitchen, and her father asked, "Sweetheart, what time did you get in last night?" "Not too late, Dad." she replied nervously. Dead-panned, her father said, "Then, my precious one, I'll have to have a talk with the paperboy about putting the paper under the front tire of the car."

Admit it; you know that was cute.

Second things second: Phil Wickham

So I am totally on this Phil Wickham (www.philwickham.com) kick after my friend Jasmine posted a video on Facebook of this guy Jeremiah Harmon doing a cover of one of his songs, "Divine Romance." The cover was fantastic, the song itself was fantastic, so I checked out the rest of PW's songs and, lo and behold, they were all fantastic too.

So, I thought I'd share. The first video is "Divine Romance" and the second is one of my favorites, "I Will Wait For You There." Both of these are on his debut, self-titled album.

ENJOY!

And finally, third things third: Television

Um, did you really think that I would leave you without a note about my favorite pastime?!

If you have not seen them, GO WATCH the following TV shows: JUSTIFIED, PERFECT COUPLES, THE CHICAGO CODE, HARRY'S LAW. These are all relatively new and AWESOME. They are going to be the subject of the next couple of posts... yep the "For The Love of TV" series that I promised you guys and will soon deliver.

That's all folks! Until next time... which hopefully won't be that long from now!

Yesterday, I Bought Four Pairs of Shoes

I blame Ary (lol). No seriously, I blame no one, because all of them are fabulous and wonderful. Gosh, I love shoes :)

As I have been telling everyone lately, the last week has been absolutely fabulous. Why? The love of God. There is no other explanation for it. Oh, sure the weather helps, and the time spent around you-know-who definitely adds to the mix, but honestly and most importantly, it's just been amazing to see God in my life. Nothing dramatic has happened and the root of some of my stress is still there, but I've given it to God, plain and simple. It's wonderful. Thank You, Lord!

Quick Updates (in 100 words!):

Can I finish the quarter, please? Schoolwork should be done by now. I still have two classes next week. BLAH! I just want to go sit on the beach.

Dillo Day: AWESOME OUTFIT PLANNED! Don't know why I'm being girly all of a sudden. The onset of summer maybe? You-know-who might have something to do with it too :)

Still need a home for buttons! Know anyone who wants a cat?

Graduating in 3 weeks. Starting real life. Very scary. Very exciting. Loving going home for the summer. Wanna move back to Chicago in the fall... HELP ME FIND A JOB :)


----- OKAY, it's 102 words, but still, pretty impressive. I'll update again after Dillo Day festivities :)


* Oh and an update for those who read this and know what I'm talking about (i.e. this part of the blog is vague on purpose)... Still don't know the official word, on either front. But I sure do act like a girl sometimes and he sure acts like a gentleman. (But I don't want to be a S!)

So I haven't written in a while...

.... and I am not even going to try to catch you up on the first day back. Suffice to say, everything goes. Not quite everything goes well, since there are a bunch of things that aren't quite right (like the fact that I am sitting at home in my PJ's trying to do 5 weeks worth of HW for my thesis class in one day... ain't gonna happen), but all in all I am happy. So, yes, everything goes.

I'm gonna try to do this is some semblance of order (the catching up) so bear with me.

God Stuff: Trying. Hard? Not really. Working on that. Going mediocre. Struggling inch by inch. But at least I'm moving forward :) (Situation is not as depressing as it sounds; I just wrote it in a very matter-of-fact manner. Please do not think I'm dying in life. I am not.)

School: Trying to get an A- in 3 classes this quarter. Can I do it? I hope so. I am trying. We shall see. LOL. My thesis grade, will be shitty, but at least I'll pass right. I just didn't want to overload winter quarter. I just couldn't. So now I don't have to. Hopefully it won't be at the expense of my less than stellar GPA.

Introducing Ms. Bobbi Amelie Buttons! Yes, I have a kitten. She is approx 6 weeks old. and is such a darling. In fact she is sleeping on my foot right now. She's taken a liking to my house shoes and tries to eat/sleep with them as often as she can. Besides Aiden, she is the cutest thing in my life right now. I can't wait til she gets a little bigger (and I can get her declawed, she's scratches me on a daily basis) so that we can have some fun. But then again, right now she fits in one hand pretty much.

Men: Not much has changed on that front for quite a while. Still not searching. Still happy about that. (Though if one comes my way, I will not turn him away :) Funny thing though, I've just discovered that the one exception to this feeling, reminds me of my brother. Eww. And, despite the fact that he is not at all my type, I still find him attractive. Double eww. Still, nothing's ever gonna happen on that front, so I'm not worried. He's doesn't seem interested and I feel no obligation to figure out if he is or isn't. Doesn't seem important to me at the moment. Dating someone is not on my list of high priorities.


I guess that's enough for today. I'll try (cut me some slack on the trying too, as humans we all fail-- often) to update again soon.

Loving life as a R.A.P,

Britt

Ahhh! This will be short.

So right now, my life is going slightly insane. And to be honest, I'm more than a little stressed.
Thoughts of rent, apartment and future moving plans, finishing classes, future plans, budgets, and laundry are all jumbled in my head. I don't know how God is going to work all of this out, but he will. And I'm kind of excited to see how he's gonna do just that.

I've already put my faith in Him, and now I'm just waiting for the blessings. And more importantly, the PEACE.

Pray for me, ya'll.

Psh! Productivity is Overrated

So I have literally been sitting in the bed all day. Well that's not true. I loaded the dishwasher, cleaned the stove, cooked and made lists of things I need to do.

And yet, I am still here, in my bed, watching the third episode of NCIS. (I absolutely love this show, by the way.)

My lack of productivity was aided by Facebook. And while I was searching/stalking my friends profiles, I ran across a girl I knew/was sort of friends with in high school. And while I perused her photos, I smiled because she has grown up to be beautiful young lady. Now while her and I didn't always see eye-to-eye (oh, the drama of high school girls), she did help me without knowing it, albeit much later in life.

I'm not making much sense. Let me break it down. Seeing her pictures today, reminded me of what high school was like, reminded me of the silly things girls do for guys attention, reminded me of how much I have grown and matured and how much I have haven't as well. In other words, by the time I finished looking at the first twenty or so pics, I felt both happy and sad. I felt happy because the pics reminded me of how awesome high school was, and sad because I feel like my life is so much more complicated. And though somewhat unrelated, sad also because I had a small epiphany as to why my luck with guys is as bad as it is.

Anyway this post was not about guys, or girls, or anything really, it was me just reflecting on the transformation (yet to be completed) that is my life.

Ahh, becoming a real adult person is SO HARD!
