Because sometimes other things get in the way.

I have decided that tonight's blog entry is going to be a lot like my counseling class: I have a lot that I want to talk about, but nothing I want to be sharing with the world.

I could talk about Lent.
I could talk about stress.
I could talk about the other weekend.
I could post pictures.
I could do all of the above.

Basically, there is a lot on my mind, and I don't know what to do with it all.

So, in the interest of everyone's sanity, I think I'll just hit some of the big points.

So Lent.  What can I say about Lent?  It definitely didn't go as I intended.  The first couple of weeks were okay.  I had a few issues with drinking here and there.  I had a few issues with eating after 9:00pm here and there.  Overall though, it was okay.  Toward the end though, well, things got a little out of hand.  But you know what?  I don't care.  That happens.  It's okay.  God loves me no more and no less because I had a beer and a poptart at 11:39pm on a stressful Thursday night.  Something awesome that did come of this Lenten season was the time I got to spend with people from RISE at midnight prayer.  There were times during those nights/mornings that connected people on much deeper levels than giving up late night snacking ever would.  So, with that in mind, Lent was a great success.

Now, stress?  Ugh.  I'll keep this short.  Here's the deal, I'm cheap.  I don't spend money often.  I am a saver.  Call me what you want; I know what I am.  That being said, I have about $50 to my name.  This doesn't happen to me.  Ever.  So, now that it has I'm freaking out.  I don't like this.  Stressed.  End.

So, the other weekend I spent a lot of time with a friend.  Hung out a lot.  Washed some dishes.  Played with some dogs.  Watched some movies.  Had a GREAT time.  The day was followed up by another day filled with fog and driving and hiking in flip flops.  So, that being said, we'll move on to the next sections...
