11:07pm: CRHP Retreat Prep - Team formation Meetings
Hi everyone,

I haven't posted one of these in a while.  Things are extremely well.  I am very busy and working with a team preparing for a church retreat.  I wanted to run this by a few people any comments are welcome - 2 explanations everyone in this group happens to be married but me and The group ends up writing a prayer after I talk about our theme of Prayer in a relationship.  Let me know what you guys think.

So I have been thinking about what I am going to talk about – How is Prayer in a Relationship important to me?  It makes me think of where I am in my life right now.  I want to know what my vocation is.  You know, am I going to be married, single, or is religious life meant for me.  That is what finding your vocation is about.  You are all married.  I am currently single but I am in pursuit of a different relationship than all of you.  I am not looking to get married but I am in search of a deeper relationship with God.  To possibly pursue religious life and follow a different spiritual path.  One day I was trying to sort out all these thoughts in my head.  Is becoming a sister the right choice for me?  Is this what I am supposed to do?  So like most people my age I took to the internet.  I found this beautiful video on you tube.  It was all about taking the path less travel.  That there are few who take the challenge.  When those words came on the screen there was two pictures of two paths one that was highly traveled and worn a easy way to go and the other an open field and a difficult path to follow.  It was saying to me take the path less traveled.  You may have struggles ups and downs but you can and will make it to the end.  It is like God is my cheerleader pushing me along.  Everything seems to happen for a reason – God’s grace.  So how does this all fit into prayer?  I know where my relationship with God stands.  All of this focuses on a path that takes a life time.  It focuses on discernment.  I had a good friend, that is a sister, tell me she discerns every movement she makes in her life.  I think that is where prayer in my relationship with God lays right now.    I am making big decisions in my life such as figuring out where I want to be the rest of my life.  I want to walk with God and make the decision that will allow me to do good and feel fulfilled in life.  I also had a sister tell me prayer is not only asking God to help another person or yourself.  It is also a moment to reflect on all the goodness God has given you.  I feel that this is easily missed in my relationship with God.  It is easy to be demanding and insistent for what I want. Then when I get what I had wanted I may totally forget to thank God for the simplest thing his love.  Prayer in a relationship, reminds me of a marriage, a communion.  He offers his love and guidance and I just have to keep my eyes, ears, and heart open.  Remembering to make the effort to thank God for all the wonderful graces he gives me.  This is a little prayer I wrote to the God -

 

My Prayer

Dear Lord, Thank you for everything you have done for me.  You have answered so many of my prayers and given me so much guidance.  Please continue to guide me to find where I belong.  I know now it is to be a sister.  Please guide me to which order.  Also please help guide me to figure out what I would do as a sister.  There are so many options.  I also would like to pray for the women sitting here with me tonight.  That we  all carry our knowledge and heart to the weekend and that we share all of the wonderful things you do in our lives with the participants we will be welcoming.  Thank you for your guidance, love, and open heart as you hear our prayers.

 

Amen

11:52pm: Becoming a Sister
So I haven't wrote here in a while I don't know if anyone even reads these any more.  Now with FB and Twitter.. But Here is my Big news I am applying to take vowed life as an Adrian Dominican Sister.  I went and visited them and I didn't want to leave.  I could have stayed there forever and never come home.  Part of me wishes I did.  Oh.. How was everything oh so right.  People think this is a scape goat to get away from home.  I am telling you all now that this is not a scape goat.  I feel a real call it is in my heart it is God saying come follow me.  Do I have journey for you!  I don't care if I get to sent to Africa for a few years as a missionary.  I think it would be amazing.  Help that is all those people ask for.  And I am doing it in the best way while bringing God with.  I want to give people a chance to know God like I do it is so hard to explain.  He is kind, warm, loving.  Caring.  He does things for a reason.  I am very much being called right now I believe.  All the signs.  Life is so much better.  Before I heard his call again to be a sister I was down.  I didn't have any where to be.  I was going no where.  Life was a dead end.  Right now I have a goal.  A loving God calling me to be with him.  When I spend most of my time with him everything fits in.  Now why Adrian Dominicans and not someone else.  I am putting an application in.  I can still check out other places.  I am going to visit the Blood Adorers in KS.  I don't think anything can top the scales of this last weekend.  The energy.  The Love.  Home.  I can't wait to go back or to see Sr. Dusty next week.  *sigh*  I am in love.  I am in love with God.  I have found home.  A place where I belong.  I can't wait to pursue it to its fullest.

10:57pm: weight loss
Hi Thought I would throw a short note out about how my weight loss has been going.  I haven't seen a lot of you in a long time.  I have lost so far 63lbs.  I am on my way down I know it as we speak...  My starting weight was at 325lbs and I am now down to 262lbs.  My next short term goal is for 225lbs.  It is exciting.  I look in the mirror and I see someone melting away... I can see my neck again it looks great... I can't wait until I get down to the 100's... I also can't wait to get into the normal section at the store... *sigh*  Dreaming... Oh update I am going to Vegas with Lauren... May 6 to 9...  I am so excited about that also... Okay I g2g to bed soon.. I get up way to early now... Why am I so sleepy everytime I wake up... *sigh*

So far I have lost 24.5lbs. Whoo!! If I keep this up I will be done with this in no time! :D Okay I think I am getting a cold I am stuffed. Have a sore throat. And I am sneezing... I got to get rid of this fast! I got to march a parade on Thursday downtown!! Trying some sudafed first then I will see what else I can do. I can't take regular cough drops they have sugar so I have to take the sugar free stuff... I don't know things are going pretty well This week. Wish me luck for Wednesday! I gotta get below 300 this week!.. I have to meet earlier in the week than normal but that is fine. I do realize I won't lose as much though. That is cool anything is anything if you ask me! *rock on* Later.

12:28am: Diet Week 2
So hi everyone,
Haven't heard from you guys in a while. I started my diet. It is going very well in 2 weeks I have lost 19 lbs. I have my next weigh in tomorrow. I am hoping to get below a certain weight. Okay flat out this is totally unflattering and i hate to tell my real weight but here it goes. I weighed, when I started 325lbs. I would like to weigh at least 152lbs. That was when I was the most comfortable. I have to practically lose like a whole person. Crazy... Any ways short story made long I am currently at 306lbs. Per last weeks weigh in. I have a feeling that now I am right around 300 or 299... I am praying 299 because I want to break the 300 barrier. Every time I have tried another diet I get with in a few pounds of 300 and then I drop I want to actually succeed this time. I am ubber motivated. Wish me luck tomorrow! TTYL

10:01pm: superficial Thrombosis
September 17, 2008 9:45pm
So I have been having issues with my Right leg I had a bump some swelling and painful to touch. It would tingle every so often. A week ago I went to the doctor and he said that it is just superficial thrombosis. Oh my god does this hurt right now. He had me go for an ultrasound – Doppler ultrasound- that was interesting never seen anything like that… Anyways I got a call this afternoon and it was the nurse call that there was no sign of Deep Vein Thrombosis. So I was like yes I doged a bullet today. She did say that the doctor feels I should follow up with him next week. So I need to make a follow up appointment. Right now my leg is killing me. From the knee down to the ankle throbbing pain. I think I am going to try to take some Ibprofen and see if it helps. Hopefully it is nothing. *crossing fingers* - It was weird. I was talking to the lady doing the ultrasound and she said that when she went over the bump looking for irregularites that it is situated on the the bone – it didn’t show up… Hmmm… I hope it is not anything else… :D Okay hopefully this stops bugging me – Wish me luck!

Oh I haven't written in a long time because of work. It is crazy I had gotten to take a sick day because of the leg. Man does it suck - It hurts at random. Stupid leg. Haven't seen a lot of you guys that are on here in a long time - Congrats to Kim and Ceazar. Best of luck - Okay TTYL

9:44pm: Stuff
Again more thinking more life stuff... Gotta put it somewhere you know... So I can't help but keep think about how yeah I could rent an apartment get out of my parents place move on.... But i just can't yet.  I want to own something.  Be able to show all that I have put my money into.  An apartment is in no means the way I want to go.... I want to own a condo.  I do not know when or how I will ever be able to afford that at the current time.  The best that I can do is Keep getting paid take the first step in my independence and buy my own car - or start making payments on one.  And after I have paid most of it off or start getting paid more I will take the next step which will be to invest my money into a condo on a 30 yr payment plan most likely.  #1 reason why not yet you ask.  How am I going to pay any of the extra bills - Heat, Electric, Water, Food, Gas, Income Tax *can be over $2000*, oh and finally any condo association fees that maybe due monthly or yearly.  Heck okay so lets see new condo a nice one - Figure which will never happen NO APR - okay say it cost $200,000 - Divided by 360 = That is $555.56 a month - That is almost one paycheck I haven't even figured taxes.- Oh and it is only almost one paycheck because of My 401K and my health insurance.  If it wasn't for those 2 crucial items Heck I would have a condo and not be living at home....Sorry Just making a point...

Next, I have been thinking about my relationship with God and how it is lacking so much.  I used to be so in touch with my spiritual side I was committed to it.  I loved it.  I would go to church and show my love for God by playing my instrument.  Oh how I miss those days.  I didn't need to be paid I loved it.  I wish I could do that now.  I don't feel like the church, my family is a part of, will let me show my faith in that way.  The Father is very strict here.  When i would go to St. james the Father there was very open.  They were a poor Paraish that takes everything with open arms.  Mine here at home is the complete opposite.  Huge community support and lots of money flowing.  They want to pay for everything.  I had a friend tell me i am foolish to want to just play for church and not get paid.  It is so hard to explain sometimes but for some people a way of showing their faith is just to show up at chruch every sunday.  I am not that person I hate just showing up for church every Sunday I feel Like a robot.  Being up there and playing is like I get to show my passion for what I believe in.  Everything I play I am a part of.  Also for me to go and play for St. James I know that the extra help and passion makes the difference to the Parish but if you play for my church here I feel as if I am not needed as much.  IDK I think I am going to be driving into the city just to play for mass on Sundays I miss the feeling....

Just thinking....

I am out

12:11pm: Book I have to read... No Choice
So at work they decieded to do a book club sort of thing so I am forced to read a book about business.  I was reading about the book and one chapter looked pretty interesting.  Your to young if you can read this.  It brought about some interesting facts.  Like the Baby boomer generation and how they are getting older.  Maybe this has something to do with a decline in the stock market and the economy being sucky.  There are just to many baby boomers out there in comparison to the younger generations to make up for their original sales.  In this book the writer states that By 2025, nearly one-fifth of American people will be sixty-five or older.  It also points out that these baby boomers are going to be more down to earth as in opposition to the older crowd currently.  They didn't have to go thru the depression or a major war like the older generation had to .  Another interesting point is that around 40 most people start to have vision problems and they can't read things as easy it is thought that by 60 most people even those with perfect vision can end up with impaired vision.  Crazy so that means if they can't read a label they won't buy it.  I mean come on why bother.  Right?  Crazy...  Ha I thought I wouldn't like this book but it brings up some really interesting points... I think I should read the chapters in order though so back to chapter 2 I go...  Maybe it isn't because we are lazy that the economy stinks Y-me Generation. 

9:19am: GAH!
Hey there to anyone who might read this... I am so bored... Right now... And I can't wait until Tuesday... I am going down to Lorries to play for her musical... I am excited... It is so much fun going down to visit her... I am bring her food and some supplies so she won't have to buy quite as much so Far I have stocked up on the dry foods on Monday night or Tuesday during my lunch break I plan to go and buy the frozen and keep cold stuff... I might go to jewel to get the frozen stuff Monday the more I think about it...  And buy the milk and OJ at Target during my lunch... *I hope this weekend goes quickly... I am at work right now.. Not to much going on here hence being bored... Okay I am going to get some work done... TTYL 

10:50am: Work

Let me start this post with I love my job.  I love helping people.  I love seeing the reaction on their face when I have come up with something that they were thinking of and it is exactly what they were looking for.  I also love it when a student comes in to try a new step up instrument and for the first time they really realize their potential and just how much that new instrument makes a difference.  This is just me blowing steam as usual but god I am so ticked! - No matter how much I love my job.  I feel like sometimes I can't stand the people I work with.  I don't understand why.  I have the one on the front left that is just a bitch - Then there is the one on the front right that is not so bad and one of the most nice people I know here - Then there is "the boss" in the back left corner - he is tempermental.  I went to tell him that someone he dislikes called and he said not now and blew me off - then there is the back center left - I don't know what is with him - next there is back center right thank the lord he is very nice - and finally the other "boss" Back left corner She is a majority nice but she is female and yes does get moody... - - I just was so pissed after the girl who sits to my right in the front was like that is so immature and your crazy and the "boss" to the left being an absolute jerk earlier... What I have to sacrifice to help people.  I like my job but hate the majority of the people. - I did not name names just for my safety-  *rolls eyes*

11:28pm: Long time no entry

But I got to walk into her store... I walked in and I was like Celine walked in here and stood right where I am standing right now.... She walked in and said I want this there and that there....

I feel like shit...  Okay I g2g... Later

9:13pm: hello!
Okay so I have had a bit of a I don't know what to call it but I realize now that I am not getting paid enough to move out of my parents house and pay bills right now... I sort of would like to make a bit more money.  w/o having to worry about bills if I get sick or break something, or if my car/computer dies.  I think I am going to try to see how much geek squad pays at Best Buy or the feadog at circuit city because I might just make more money doing that.  I will still play my music but those jobs would hopefully give me some more money so I can get out of the house.  I am going to talk to the geek squad guys tomarrow to see what their job requirements are so that I can maybe get in there.  For the mean time I am still working at Q&F nothing much going on there.  Wish I was paid better but then again it is like sometimes I just screw up to much...  I kept forgetting to put down delivery information on orders for Fall or Summer delivery and the head manager guy tells me if I screw up again I am out.  I am freaking out!  And then it will get insane at work and the phone will not stop ringing and I took a repair approval from a lady and as I am going to put notes that it is approved she calls again.  And we discuss delivery.  I forget that I didn't put that it was approved... It stinks!  So Now I am scolded by Laura her high preistess that thinks she is so much better than me.  God I hate that!  Just because she went to U of I does not make her god of the world.  And It is really busy so she is in the mean time embaressing me in front of all the customers at the store.  This girl is psycho I tell I know how to put the ticket is approved and that she can leave me alone she should be helping the customers.  She does this to me all the time.  I hate it.!  Okay I g2g

It totally blew... I felt something go pop pop and then I wiggle the leg out of the whole and me to my back roll around cause my ankle hurt and got up could move the toes but I couldn't push down on my heel...  So i figured I didn't break it.  looked in the hole saw at lease a foot of dirt and a drop off.  about 6 feet down into a well.  Found out later it is a 12 foot well 6 feet of water 6 feet not.  deep well.  sore foot.  lorrie is going to get a pump on her well so she can water plants on a restricted day... and cover it up well.  :D  Long story short a semi interesting weekend... :D

Whoo! :P  I have a 3 day weekend coming up to!  but I have a wedding to play on saturday afternoon and sunday I am supposed to go to st. james over by IIT for church it is an alumni thing... I guess I will pop by... :P  That seems like everything... for my 3 day weekend and monday I get to relax! sleep in and watch TV maybe run some errands...   Okay I am off back to work.  Later

8:17am: American Idol
Okay so this is going to cover a brief synopsis of why I am Never watching American Idol again.  My #1 reason why I am not watching Idol.  Isn't this a singing competition what the heck is going on?  Sanjaya he is 17 pardon me being I have a degree in Music Ed.  He can sing.  but...  He is ONLY 17...  Some time back I had some realizations on how much life involves our emotions and how much that can affect the musician.  He can sing but he is out sung by several of the singers there.  Whom ever decided vote for the worse.  He isn't the worse he is young.  I am not watching Idol though because yes he should be long gone but Gina would still be there and I really liked her singing style and it was cool she was from the area.  I hope she gets a record deal with someone and she makes some rockin cd's (*I wanted to say albums...*)...  Also I feel that Simon is a bit to harsh on people.  There was some people in the very beginning that were okay singers but Simon totally told them they suck and to never sing again.  There are different types of voices and different styles of singing that we are all aware of Some of those people had either more of a musical voice or a choral voice not a pop singer voice I would tell them hey you have a great voice for this line of work but not really in the pop music industry.  Okay enough of my ranting I have a headache.  TTYL

P.S. anyone who is fed up with Sanjaya should just screw Idol and stop watching and voting. This all makes me very disappointed in the show and whomever makes it.

2:02pm: Birthday

So... Yesterday was the B-day.  I am 24.  Whoo!?? It just isn't as exciting as it was when I turned 21or younger.  I had to work... that was normal... they had a cake for me at work and they sung me happy birthday and one of the women I work with gave me a card with scratch and win tickets.  but I didn't win....After work btw we got off with plenty of time to spare.   After work I went to my sisters game and they lost against Sandburg.  Tough team...  but they didn't lose by much.  Then I stopped by my friends house and got some of my presents.  She gave me some cool stuff.  Music necklace and earrings, escada new sent parfume YUMMY!, Kitty calender and pocket calender, burts bees stuff, and purple heart earings.  It was pretty cool.  And then I went home and I got my guitar.  Whoo... Guitar here I come.  It is acoustic and a cheap first act one but It is still pretty sweet.  When I get off of work today I am going to pu some nylon strings, picks, gig bag, and some music.  I also got enough money that If I want to blow it all I would buy a Nintendo Wii.  Those things are awesome...  So yesterday we also went to panera yum... :D  and then 2 sisters I still haven't ate my custard.... Sounds like I will when I get home :D... Okay I g2g get back to some work here.  Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday.  Later...

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 when...

 

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list o f 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
: )

12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list

AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.
