Random thought of the day: I went to Benni Hana for the first time tonight. My friend Jen invited me to go to her birthday dinner with her family, and it was so much fun! Even though the health-nut in me freaked out a little at all the butter and oil in everything, it was super fun to watch the host make everything, and it tasted great too! The rice and shrimp was awesome! Yay new experiences!

Random thoughts of the day: There's something... sad about missing church on Sunday mornings.  As much as I sometimes DONT feel like waking up for it, when I don't go I feel so weird- like I"m playing hooky or something. I spent the night at my friends last night because her birthday party went late, so I didn't make it to Waterbrooke this morning to teach Sunday school.... I miss my kids!! Hopefully my dad did alright w/ out me. :)

Random thought of the day: At some point I would like to become more domestic.  I went to my friend Jen's birthday today, and they made so many great foods! Chicken, vegetables, curry, two different kinds of decorated cakes... I always admire people who are able to be creative in different ways- someday I will actually sit down with a recipe book and learn how to make something besides spaghetti.

House Quote of the Day:

Random thought of the day:  Had my first grad school interview todsay.  I had not idea what to expect- after all, I didn't have to interview for undergrad, but I think it went pretty well.  It was a group interview process, followed by a writing portion, introduction by the different professors in the program, and a question/answer section with some former students. I liked the campus, but the thing that suprised me was.. the whole secular perspective of the school bothered me more than I thought it would.  There were all these comments about "openmindedness" and "gay/lesbian/bisexual/transexul comunities" and "getting over your religious/cuiltural biases" thrown out there today, and now I can't help but wonder... would I end up beating my head against the wall, as a Christian, trying to get an education there?  I"m all for compassion- we are all sinners who struggle with different things after all, but isn't "openmindedness" just another way of saying you haven't really developed any convictions and/or courage to stand up for what you believe in?  How is that love, holding God's truth from people who need it? I don't know... I sure could use your prayers for wisdom readers.

Things that are awesome:  Regency Beauty Institute.  I first caught on to this a few years ago thanks to a tip from a friend, and yesterday I visitied the Ridgedale campus for the first time to get some highlighhts.  This beautiy school offers all the same hair and nail services you would find at a regular salon, only its supervised students doing it, so the prices are way cheaper.  Everyone there is SUP{ER nice, and the environment is really pretty. They brought me numerous cups of coffee and water while I waited for my hair to process, and were super patient, unlike at some professinal salons that just want you in and out.  Ladies, if you haven't given this place a shot, I'd definetly recommend it!!  (There are also Burnsville and Blaine locations..)

Verse of the Day: "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13: 6-7 NIV "

Random thought of the day: Over the past several days, I've sold hundreds of cards, bags of candy, and flowers/stuffed animals for Valentines Day but if you ask me... this bear-candy-card tradition doesn't really make sense. If I HAD a hot Valentine (which I don't) I would rather hug HIM than a stuffed bear anyday, candy disappears, flowers die, and cards are so expensive!! Maybe I"m too much of a pragmatist, but I'd be like um... how bout a Starbucks giftcard instead? Espresso powers my LIFE!! :P

Random thought of the day:  On particularly tough work days my dad and I like to play this game called "top worst jobs," where we take turns naming some of the worst jobs we can think of.  Some of the top ones we came up with were 1.) People who have to clean out thick hot water pipes in airforce carrier ships (its a real job) 2). Outhouse emptying service people 3.) Tollbooth worker 4.) Crime Scene Janitor 5). Telemarketer 6). Parking Garage attendant and 7). Car Salesman.  Sometimes thinking of people who have it worse really can help. :P
