LIst Thursday

For all of you List Thursday lovers, Bekah-the-rock-star-gliznast reminded me that today is, indeed, list Thursday. So buck up, little broncos! Here we go:

• My beloved Seahawks were absolutely creamed by the Bears on Sunday. I'm still reeling from the effects.
  
  
• My beloved Patriots asbolutely creamed the Bengals on Sunday. I'm still reeling from the effects.
  
  
• The Lord has been working on me about my whole belief that the roads belong solely to me and that everyone is simply able to use them at my generosity. Now, I do pay enough in taxes each month to somehow feel justification here, but nonetheless now that He's brought it to my attention I am unable to rest in my old ways. So I pray on the way to work in the mornings, and that has helped A TON. Plus I pray much more consistently which really is needed.
  
  
• Speaking of prayer, my brother was smashed in the face with a baseball bat and mugged in downtown Spokangalangeles. He's all right, though the docs say his nose will never be the same nor look quite right. I feel bad for the kid- he's a few months out of prison and really trying to live right and these are hard times. So if you pray, pray for mi hermano.
  
  
• I can't say "hermano" and not think of the hilarity which ensues from that word on season 1 of Arrested Development. :)
  
  
• Speaking of TV shows, I LOVE LOST! They're so stinking creative and smart on that show. Though I need to understand how the others went from clean little book clubs and muffins houses to the rags they had on at the end of the year. Wait. I think I just figured that out. Nevermind.
  
  
• I wonder where Michael and Walt are. Huh. I forgot about them.
  
  
• I really don't like Kate. Never have, never will. I don't feel sorry for her. Meh.
  
  
• I also love The Office! And it's on tonight! And I've begun to get the roommates hooked on it and oh happy day! And Grey's Anatomy is on as well, and I have decided to give 6 degrees a try mainly because I loved the lawyer dude on Friday Night Lights. And he's really hot. (Sorry, JJ, but he so totally is.)
  
  
• Watching Grey's ALWAYS makes me wish I lived in Seattle!! Someday, someday.
  
  
• I LOVE FOOTBALL!!
  
  
• I had blood drawn today. It was a long hassle including multiple pokes and the needle being shoved around under my skin. She felt really bad, and I'm used to it because no one is ever able to easily get blood from me, but it still sucked. Plus I bled a lot after she pulled the needle out so I can't take the bandage off but the tape really itches on the back of my hand (she had to go from inner arm to back of hand because I have stubborn veins).
  
  
• My students are doing a project on Greece this week. Note to self: One day you WILL visit the Greek islands. Any takers?
  
  
• I'm really hungry.
  
  
• I made delicious lasagna AND delicious chicken noodle soup the other day (both homemade, because I rock).
  
  
• No, my chicken noodle soup does NOT have a soda on the side. (If you get that, then seriously, tell me. Because I bet 98% of you have ZERO idea what I'm talking about.)
  
  
• I will be a quarter of a century old in 11 days. Ho. Lee. Kuh. Rap.
  
  
• I hope my insurance will do gown. I keep meaning to call about that.
  
  
• I get to go home for the first time in 17 months in 16 days!! That'll be sweet. I'm pumped.
  
  
• I'm a little apprehensive that people won't be very excited to see me. I don't really know why. I think I'm just scared of being disappointed? Home not living up to the hype? I hope I'm wrong... and I probably am.
  
  
• I decided to stop going to my church. It was pretty spiritually unhealthy. I'd love for your prayers about where to proceed from here- and I really need to remember to call around about some churches in RoRap (it's a mid-sized town- maybe 15-20 thou- about a half hour away).
  
  
• We have a football game tomorrow against the school one of my roomies teaches at. I hope we win. By a lot. And... I love football, but we only have five games left and I'm kind of glad because I can't wait to actually have Friday nights again!
  
  
• I received a letter and some photos from my child in Uganda that I sponsor. His name is Isaac, he loves God's Word, he's ten, and I really love him so much that getting a letter from him made me cry. Maybe sometime I'll try to figure out how to use my scanner (I know, techie-T@mi hasn't figured out to use her scanner though she's had the printer for a year and a half... bite me.) and put up a pic of him :)
  
  
• That's all for now. Happy list Thursday!!
