well meghan, you'll be glad to know the bathroom has been cleaned. now lets never speak of this again....

unfortunately, among all my unplanned detours, my plan to tidy my room has been disgarded once again. although, i am optimistic that i am one day closer to a clean bedroom. just when that day will be is still unclear. tomorrow is also unlikely.

we had a magical girls night at laney's last night. and i'd have to say it was just what i needed. its nice to just lounge around with munchies and anecdotes. it was fun. good idear beckie. laney, linds, lissa and me (les) are hitting nyc over easter weekend. we'll be the L-TEAM. i'm excited, it'll be a lot of fun. i don't think i've ever been on a group road trip like this before. hmmm, now that i think about it, i really haven't! see what i'm talking about?? i'm a late bloomer!! sometimes i feel like i'm making up for my lost early twenties. wow, that's quite an outlandish statement, but its really true.

i've really been contemplating the notion of "a connection". what does that mean? is it legitimate? there are people you just immediately click with and others you only connect with over a long period of time. and sometime an immediate connection will disintegrate over time. but what's recently been on my mind is the idea of a one sided connection. it never occured to me that that was possible, but i think it is. usually you'll hear someone say "i thought we really had a connection, i guess i was wrong". i don't think that's true, i think its more that YOU connected to that person and they didn't have the same connection with you. for example, there's an older woman in my life who really feels connected to me like i was her daughter. but the truth is, i don't feel the same way about her. i have a strong connection with my mom, and that trumps this other relationship.

sometimes putting on deodorant is kingdom work

I'm very excited about our trip to NYC! This will be my first roadtrip too, so don't feel alone in being a "late bloomer."

i fully support your kingdom work. I would say that fresh breath also enlarges the property of God...as does natioanl holidays, flannel and buttered chicken.
