Mmm. Krysten, my hott-with-2-t's roommate, and I decided that our favorite part of the day is getting e-mails from U99.5
Totally.

I just had a productive day, and those are the best kind. I cleaned and cleaned my room. It looks nice, but I want to get it better. My roommate deserves to have it be perfect. ;)
I got a lot done for ABP. I accomplished nearly everything on my list of goals. That feels so good to me - marking things off of a list. I know, I'm weird.
I miss my Ashley. So much. She is such an encouragement on a night where I am a little overwhelmed and just trying to make it through until Sunday.
Things I love about Sundays.
- Sleeping in until 9:00.
- Going to church in jeans when I feel like it.
- Going to church in a skirt when I feel like it.
- Riding down to Cincinnati and knowing that the people that are riding in the cars around me are my church. They're my family, my fellowship, my support system.
- Knowing my spot in the passenger seat of Ben's truck is secure and he guards it with his life.
- Taking my friends to experience a church they've never seen before.
- The way the truth is spoken gently and in love.
- Worship.
- Eating at Wendy's afterwards.
- Intense theological discussions.
- Silly surveys about men and what they like in their women.
- Opportunities to shop in the Nati.
- Giggling with Suzanne.
- Drinking orange juice.
- Drinking coffee with lots of cream.
- Not drinking anything but knowing that the option is available.
- Having a spot in church that is ours.
- Meeting a million new people every week.
- Wondering if Jon Buchard is going to show up.
- Meeting God and having the chance to reach out my hand to His amazingness over and over again.
Only four days until Sunday. :)

Tonight was Spoon River rehearsal. Yesss. Nate and Josh came and entertained me, and I didn't do anything except find out when I was supposed to fly in the star drop. It was incredibly dreary and I don't think I could get through another one like that.
Tomorrow is room check day. Yesss.
I feel like there was so much to say and now I can't remember what it was. My roommate and I are watching "Gilmore Girls" and I just did my nails. Tomorrow is "look like a hottie" day. Whooeee.
Maybe I'll focus on the dramatics of Lorelai and Rory, and read Galatians, and let thoughts of driving fast and Panera settle in my mind.

It was such an amazing night.
I went to Indy yesterday with Janna for her little sister's seventh birthday party. It was a princess party, and it was just what I needed to break out of my routine. I wish that I had had the mental functions at 11:00 last night to grab my camera as I left the room, because what I saw should have been recorded for all posterity.
I was the crepe paper princess, and I spun it all around the room. Like my cotton candy web. But I'm not a spider. We played the pinata and the balloon popping game and musical bandanas.
Tonight, I went out with Josh, and I had so much fun. We ate at Olive Garden (garlic herb chicken with pasta and broccoli.. mmm..) and saw "In Good Company" with Jon and Suz, whom we happened to run into in the theater. It was cute, but would've been better with my hot roommate, who was off gallivanting in Indiana with Lawlor and Willetts RAs.
Post-dinner is when it gets interesting. So Jon and I order brownie fudge sundaes (more mmm) and milk. Somewhere between an eating contest and chugging milk and laughing, I managed to have milk come out my nose and throw up on the table. It hurt so bad. I wanted to laugh, but it hurt, and I was crying. I wanted Josh to help me, but there was nothing he could do except pat my shoulder. It was funny looking back on it -- no, it was funny at the time -- but it hurt so much. I should have been in a movie.
Showers are the best thinking places in the world.
