Will someone please tell me where the month of July went? Or...possibly even how the last YEAR has escaped me? It was fall, all-of-a-sudden I was in Idaho for New Year's, spring came and went and now August is upon us. The quick time could possibly be due to the fact that I'm used to merciless summers that last four months. I think the thermometers have hit 90, mmm...maybe three or four times so far this year? Before I know it, the leaves will be changing and I'll be giddy with excitement for the cinnamon and nutmug smells that come alone with fall. Break out the pumpkin candles!
I've been weening myself off of coffee for the last few months. I went from coffee to hot tea, which wasn't too difficult. After my dentist visit I saw the noticable different in the color of my teeth after my cleaning and it scared me into coffee sobriety. I don't like yellow teeth and if I can steer clear from anything that will give them to me, I absolutely will. I've caved to the occassional diet coke, but I've been doing dang good at sticking to water and - if I MUST have it - clear pop. But the last couple of weeks my mornings have been dragging to a ridiculous extent. I feel like I move in slow motion and can't do anything to speed up. So as a treat, my roommate (college, not current, but she'll always be "roomate") sent me a bag of coffee from the coffee place she works at. (Ended a sentence with a preposition. Screw it.) This morning I couldn't take the fatigue and I brewed a cup. Right when it hit my tongue it was invigoration like I've never felt. The question is, can I leave it behind tomorrow, or have I fallen off the wagon for good?
I wish I could understand that food is merely food. God created it for us to nourish our bodies and seek occassional pleasure in it. It's so much more to me. If I could go to counseling for free again, I totally would. I'm healthy and in shape. I try to dwell on that and not think about what I look like, but it's hard with an in-lawed family that's ridiculously small. I know that if I seek God through it, everything else will fall to the side. I just can't let go of the control. It sucks. Bad.
Enough of that.
Good times - a busy week is coming up! Sunday we go to a baseball game in Grand Rapids, Monday is our ONE YEAR anniversary! Woo! Friday we have a company picnic with the four other people I work with and the next day we're going to Chicago for our annual nuptial celebration. That means the aquarium and Cheesecake Factory. Oh, good time will ensue. Yes, yes they will.
I forgot my iPod today. That means I can't listen to the Harry Potter soundtracks while I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I wish there were more soundtracks. I get excited poo thinking about the sixth movie. It will be falltime, filled with falltime goodness and love when it comes out. And if you know me...you know fall is my fave time of year. Ah, I'm so excited!
Dan has decided that for our anniversary he wants Rock Band 2. It doesn't come out until November, but he's willing to wait. It has the songs Tangled Up In Blue and Alex Chilton on it. Um, those two songs in and of themselves are 100% worth the wait. I'm glad he'll be happy about it. Me? If you don't already know, I'm getting a digital SLR Canon Rebel XT. I got it early, though. It's already seen much use :)
This has been some of the poorest writing I've seen come from my fingertips in quite a while. I apologize. Maybe it's the caffeine that I'm oh-so not used to kicking in. Most likely. Before I embarass myself, I think it might be best to stop.
"We must dance, dance, dance, dance in God's honor. We must yield all our steps to the King." We are not here of our own accord, but to dance in God's honor, to yield our thoughts, words and movements to Him.
