"The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning."

Working on a Friday...this is a foreign concept to me. I took Wednesday off so I could see Harry Potter and hang out with my house guest, so today I am here. It hasn't been so bad, and I only have an hour left. It is also payday which is also great.

I have decided to try to sell my cards at my church's craft show in October. I'm really nervous, but also excited. Last night I realized how much work it would be, but I think I'm ready for the task. Mom pointed out that I'm about to start school again while working and planning a wedding...but I really want to do this at least once. There's a lot to be done before October 10th (pricing, finding a table, deciding how to display everything, actually making the cards), and I hope to get a jump on it this weekend. Tyson will be out of town and I get to take care of Brody Bear! Together we will craft and watch lots of How I Met Your Mother on dvd.

There is a (relatively) new song that I am obsessed with. So amazing. It's called "More Beautiful You" by Jonny Diaz.

Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight, her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight

Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care
Your skin, your body, and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are

There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies, disguises, and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you


Little girl twenty-one the things that you've already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man, but he's got another plan
Only wants what you'll do instead

Well little girl twenty-one you never that that this would come
You starve yourself to play that part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And he'll treat you like the jewel you are

So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl



It finally rained today! It was only for about 10 minutes, but it's better than nothing. I think that's the second or third time all summer we've gotten rain, so I was definitely rejoicing (especially since it was 15 minutes after I was inside!).

haha your lovely sign that you made me is at my house right now along with my diploma. i decided to wait until the last minute to bring those to my school because last year i broght my diploma and teacher's certificate early and the custodian knocked the certificate over and the glass broke. :( so i don't want anything to happen to your beautiful craftiness! i got several compliments on it from my students last year- "Ms. White- did your friend who made that sign know that we are the Bears, or did she just guess??" "Ms. White- how did your friend get the letters so perfect??" "Ms. White- how can a 'cricket' make a sign??" :) i will definitely take an updated picture once i get it situated in my room!! love love love! :)
