An insight into "me"

One time, I broke my phone beyond repair "because I dropped it." 

The full story was that someone had drawn hopscotch squares outside of the student center, and my phone fell out of my pocket as I was hopping to class.

One of Those Chet Quotes

"I remember doing this as a kid... on my parents' estate..." -Chet, watching a fox hunt on Downton Abbey

comfort and joy

Anne [eating mac n cheese]: Bethany, this is so good. Thank you.

Bethany: You're welcome. It's great comfort food, isn't it?

Anne: Yeah... I feel so comforted... [crams garlic bread into her mouth]... but not as comforted as I feel by the counsel of the Holy Spirit...

[Aubrey begins to dance as though there's a green screen behind her]

[Anne shovels mac n cheese into her mouth]

Today was a walk in the park.

More accurately, it was two walks in the parks. Matt and I saw a real live beaver and had a dammed good time.

little update

Today I went to the Chick-Fil-A Leadercast at IWU. I took tons of notes. It was inspiring. More on that later.

After the conference, I got to celebrate Kyla's upcoming wedding. Kyla's wonderful; it makes sense that Erick is sugary-sweet-in-love. Anne and I drove back and got some good laughs: We poked fun at rap music. We imitated Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Adele. We discussed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (when we got to the 5th amendment, we got tired and moved on to a lawn decor conversation).

After the party, I watched the final finale of The Office*. CRAZY! Another door closed on my "childhood."

*apparently the season finale hasn't happened yet. "Childhood" still on.

I'm going to take back everything I was GOING to write

Oh geez. Today is a beautiful day. Our house is exploding and my students hate math, but it's a beautiful day. 

I'm going to bike ride and play softball and watch movies and read books

and quote SNL to the roommates ("S'ciety, Seth! It's a TRAJESTY.")

and teach high school and teach Sunday school

and love

and be loved.

So everything's great. Life's my oyster. And today is my beautiful, beautiful day.

Because holidays are fun stuff

May the Fourth be with you.
