Oh isn't it just loverly!!

So proud. So happy. Oh baby!

AIIIIIII- YIIIII-YIIIIIIIIIIII! YEEEEE-HAAAAW!!!

In case you couldn't figuire it out, I'm rather excited. You see, my dear peculiar treasures, I finished school.
And in case you couldn't figuire it out, that's good. No kidding? No Kidding!

And this is how I spent my day of freedom.

1. Got up early. Ugh
2. Saw mom off to visit her sister for the weekend. hehehe, sweet freedom
(Note: my conscience is telling me to go clean the kitchen right now, which reveals, of course, that it needs it)
3. Recieved a little dog to take care of. . .cute, cute, cute cute cute.
4. Spent my day on the computer and the couch.

UH-HUH, UH-HUH, UH-HUH. All this, of course, was authorized. . .by my mother, naturally.

As I sat down this evening (with full intentions of posting), I had a warm ball of fuzz on my lap, and a pile of big, beautiful strawberries to keep my bowl of sugar company. An hour later, that little mutt has left my lap, my sugar won't stick to my strawberries ('cause it got wet), and my headache is returning. Oh, poor me. The woes of laziness, it's so hard not to have any work at all. Pity me.

Ok, ok, jk. You all know I'm not usually this . . .um, apathetic--cool word, huh?--(I didn't finish my junior year without some recompense for my sufferings), but y'know. . .Oh, saying of the day:

IT AINT EASY BEIN' QUEEN!!!

GREEN ALIENS!!!

ACK! Invasion! The Alexandrian Forest is being overtaken! Towering, yellow-headed, white-topped martians! Call out the Border Patrol! Major catastrophe!

Y'know, it seems like I just mowed that yard last week! oh, wait, I did. Everything in life seems to go faster than I can.
ugh.

3 wonderful words of the day--I don't care.

I don't care what the neighbors think of our yucky yard,
I don't care, I don't care, and I don't care. When life starts spinning out of control, and there are TOP PRIORITIES that don't include those types of things, those Freedom-giving words allow me to carry on, trudge through the mucky business of a crazy life:
They allow me to hold my head up and say,
"I'm a child of God, others don't understand, BUT He does: I don't have to get my self-confidence from what others think. My identity is in Him."
I'm thankful for the freedom being in love with Jesus allows me to have.

Some of y'all don't know what's going on down here, so I'll let ya know.
Daddy's cancer returned, so he had chemo treatments this last week. So, along with some other tough stuff, that's the latest. OH, I'm almost done school!!! yeah! gtg! love y'all!

BY POPULAR DEMAND . . .a post.

The view from this tower is murky, cloudy, and depressing. The floor I lie on is cold and cruel. The walls are drab, and the future dim. This, you see, is my prison, called-- State of Mind.

The moral of the story? Your view and attitude is a choice. State of mind can be a prison, or an entertainment park.

In other words, I'm having a pitiful, pathetic day. School is a varmint nipping on my heels, and I can't seem to run fast enough to get away.

OH well. Otherwise, my day was great. I'm really enjoying being with sister and her good military-wife-friends. BTW, today is Military Spouse Day--or a day to remember all those with their husbands or wives around the world. I have a well-seasoned chicken dinner inside, and bright hope that someday . . .someday, I will graduate from school . . .
FOREVER.
AMEN.
