Mantra #4

This week is going to fly by, because I am so busy again.  Final exams are all going to be over soon, and I can't wait!  My head has been in the books like crazy.  Once Wednesday hits, I will never again have to deal with this guy:

I believe that God is going to fill me up, even though I feel empty.  

I'm addicted to Train's "Hey Soul Sister"... Is that cheesy?  Am I the only one?  I can't get enough of it!


I wish that I had time to read a book that is for entertainment and not education.  The next one on my list is Julie and Julia.

I'm jealous of my old self with super-long hair.  I go back and forth, but today I miss it.

Soundtrack/Mantra for the week: 

If you get rid of unfair practices, quit blaming victims, quit gossiping about other people's sins,

If you are generous with the hungry and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out,

Your lives will begin to glow in the darkness, 

your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight.

I will always show you where to go. 

I'll give you a full life in the emptiest of places— firm muscles, strong bones.

(from Isaiah--The Message)

Mantra #3

This week my schedule is packed.  I am overbooked.  My planner is full overflowing.

I believe that I need to take my vitamins.  My immune system has been beating me lately.  

I'm addicted to html.  That's right.  I love it.  I want to learn more.  I'm a total nerd.  Maybe I'll offer to design your blog for you soon.

(Disclaimer: this is not me)

I wish that I could go back to the resort from our honeymoon.  They had this restaurant that I loved.  I even dream about it (ok, well I did only once, but that seems sufficient!).  It was really good.  Plus, I could use a vacation about now.

This was my favorite dish- Indonesian Fried Rice.

Of course, I would want to go with this perfect man.

I'm jealous of really good singers.  I cannot sing.  It's the only talent I'm truly jealous of.  I used to pray for a man who could sing (and I got one!) but I felt bad every time I asked God for one... I didn't feel that it would be fair for a singing man to get my voice.  God was on my side!

Soundtrack/Mantra for the week: Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you.  Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light. (-Jesus. Matthew 11:28-30)

Mantra #2

monday mantra...

This week I feel like relaxing and putting my feet up.  Maybe it's because of this gorgeous weather!

I believe in trying to eat healthily!  Unless you give me Starbucks, Ben & Jerry's, or bread.  Other than that, I'm on a health kick!

I'm addicted to Frank Sinatra.  If he were still alive, I'd kind of be a groupie (but the clean, happy, non-crazy kind).

I wish I could dress like my grandmother did at my age.  Gloves, pumps, pearls, and a dress = Jackie O = classic and chic.  I was born in the wrong era.  

I'm jealous of all of you mommy bloggers.  I have had the baby fever since I was 2, and it's never gone away.  It's not time for that yet, but I'll keep being jealous until I have my own baby in my arms.

Soundtrack/Mantra for the week: People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. (Maya Angelou)
