You know what sucks?

When you only have 6 channels. So every time there is a national something of importance it is on every channel. It's really not that big of a deal but tonight is the night The Biggest Loser is on. That's pretty much the only show I really watch. So I only got to watch an hour of it. So what is there to do with the second hour? I guess update my blog. There's a lot and not a lot that's going on. With church there is a lot. With school, not a lot. But I'm pretty sure this post will be way random. I have a couple things that I have been thinking about lately and none of them are of much importance but I will still share.

If I was at wherever Obama was speaking I would refuse to keep standing up and clapping. I guess it's like a courtesy applause or something.

In class on Monday I guess everyone was looking really bored and not paying attention so my teacher was trying to think of something to get us excited about learning. He said that he was going to bring in some "hoochie coochie dancers". Yes, he actually said that. The he looked at us and said don't worry they will be both genders so you can all be entertained.

Then today I'm pretty sure my calculus teacher was speaking in tongues. I kept looking around the room for an interpreter but he/she wasn't there. So I guess God doesn't want me to go back to that class.

Time. Where the heck does it go? Every time Dad and I eat breakfast together we always talk about how nice it would be to just spend a couple hours sitting there drinking coffee starring out our french doors. Maybe it doesn't sound too exciting to you but I would love it. But there is never enough time in the day to do it. Also I have been thinking a lot about how things change so fast. Think about where you were last year at this time. Now think about where you were last month. Maybe its just me. Not only have I changed in the past year but even in the past month and somewhat this past week. Things like people I talk to, things that are important to me, what I want in life, what I want for my future, and so on.

America. America. America. What is this country coming to? I'm not talking about politics. I'm talking about obesity. I could go on talking about this forever. But this is just something that bothers me. Restaurants aren't just serving bigger sandwiches but now they have turned to unlimited things. Like Olive Gardens never ending bowl of pasta. Red Lobsters endless shrimp. Tennessee is ranked 3rd highest in obesity rates in the U.S. That's good right? At least we are number one in something. The people that read this blog aren't fat at all and I'm not trying to be like stop eating. It is just something that bothers me. And I guess I'm somewhat of a hypocrite they way I talk about this. I like to eat. And sometimes I like to eat way too much. But maybe I can help some people in the future. We will see.

I'm super pumped about this weekend. Its going to be amazing!

Well that is about all I can think of. Hope everyone is having a great week!

FYI

If I was still in high school I can almost 100% guarantee you that I would have skipped school today. But luckily I am in college and I get out at 11 on some days so I don't even have to think about skipping school.

BUT if my middle name wasn't Ellen I'm pretty sure it would be Procrastinator. I will admit it. I procrastinate like crazy and it drives me crazy but not crazy enough to do something about it. I have a paper due tomorrow. Not a hard one but it's a paper either way. Today I have done everything imaginable except write a paper.

A lot of the times that's how it is with God and me. He will tell me something but I decide that I like my idea better. And my idea usually isn't anything bad just not what He wants. Just like today I did a lot of good things, things that I needed to get done and also things I very much enjoyed. But the thing is I couldn't enjoy them all the way because every time I was in the middle of something I would think about my paper and it would make whatever I was doing less enjoyable because I knew eventually the paper was going to have to be done. I procrastinate with God. I know if I had gotten my paper done earlier today it would made things 10 times better and easier. If I did what God asked right off the bat then things would be so much better.

I've realized that I use the same words over and over again.

Loooove!

Laura and I went to Walmart today. We were talking about all the Valentines stuff and blah blah blah. So I got to thinking about it and I remembered this one Vday waaaay back in 4th grade. This kid named Cody Jerger brought me a dozen roses and one of those big hearts of chocolate. You might think awww. I didn't think so. I was so mad. I'm pretty sure I threw away the flowers when I got home and I really don't think I ate the chocolate. I guess I wasn't really a girl back then. And then one time, I guess it was in middle school, Ryan Martin (bless his heart) bought me this freaky looking china glass doll. I think there was a camera in it. But I guess my best experience was when I actually had a boyfriend on Valentines day one time and guess where he took me. Wendy's! How romantic. We didn't even eat there. It was the drive thru then home. I pick real winners.

All I have to say is I'm so glad God loves me. And that it's not cheap love or love that changes. Or something I have to perform for to get. I love it. I love, love. I love that God loves me even when I'm not very loving.

Last time it snowed I posted a picture of a snowman. I'm embarrassed to have called that a snowman. But I am not embarrassed to show you a picture of what I did today. Hannah and I hiked, okay drove, to the top of the hill and built our wonderful snowman. I'm pretty sure I have frostbite but it was worth it! Some might choose to point out that one arm is longer than the other or even that the carrot is only a baby one so it kind of isn't in proportion to its rather large head. Either way I like it. After all of our hard work the bullies in the neighborhood drove by on their four wheeler and knocked it down. Oh well. I did enjoy laying around, drinking hot chocolate and watching movies today. Just how I wanted to spend a snow day. I hope everyone had a great day!
