Stress Not...please Lord

I know I promised pictures...but well....I'm gonna wait for a night when I have a tun of time to kill and the desire to spend an hour or so on it...(um when that would be has yet to be discovered).
I don't have great patience for dearest blogger with the whole uploading photos thing.
But they will be posted.
I have another meeting in a minute or so.
I'm sunburned and happy from a fun JTB teen event today at the beach/Boomers. I love u guys. You're great fun to be with.
I'm at a stage mentally that I'm trying not to even think about all that has to be taken care of before I leave, plus what needs to be done during the time I'm gone...on top of that I'm feeling guilty about taking off at such a busy time. But yes..."stress not".
Oh and I'm having my usual freak-out-before-flying issues. For some reason I don't entirely trust this whole online e-ticket thing. But I'm praying everything will be just peachy. Pray for me too huns? Thanks.

I hope that wasn't goodbye for good.

I will post pics of our weekend soon...until then

not a great pic, but it's the natural hair......sorta....
whaddya think?

My nephew

Is pretty much the cutest thing EVER....here he is modeling the jinbei I bought for him :D

Many sentences, one having nothing to do with the next

I have a PDA now, yay. My first electronic gadget that I've ever bought. Wows
I'm leaving in two weeks. It hasn't sunk in yet and I need to start thinking about what to pack.
My hair is out of control. I'm cutting it as soon as I get to Japan. And dyeing it. RED. YAY
I finished the last of my ice cream tonight and hereby solemnly promise not to eat any for the next few weeks(DON'T LET ME, ANGEL. heh). I'm gonna try to lose a few unwanted pounds before vacation and performing in Nippon. Woo hoo. Maybe I should give up peanut butter too.
It's Prayer Day tomorrow. This makes me happy.
And I got this book today from the library. She's brilliant. I love travelogues.

I miss you and wish I could do more than hug you :P

And now I will take myself and my banality to bed. Goodnight my sweets.

Some pics

Connie's Farewell party

Healthy Living friendly party snacks. Yum

Pretty funny games played in honor of Connie...and Appletinis...yum

These two pics are from an older BBQ, but they make me happy. Brandon and I :)

Paula and I at Phil's Birthday party. Nippon Banzai

My Roomie that I love has left for new horizons
I am in denial
Once that wears off, I'll tell you of the things we did over the last week
Until then...Con's our room is pretty empty and stuff. Argh
Miss you

A new blog

There's a new little link right over there....
If you're bored and want a sappiness overload, have a look
Or just click me

Moth to a Flame

Innocence lost
Like a moth to a flame
I burn, you yearn
And try to disclaim

Boundaries crossed
With naught but a line
This beast, unleashed
Pours fire for wine

Drunk on desire
Addicting, this mix
My dose, come close
For you are my fix

Tiptoe, high-wire
The fall will be hard
Too late, it’s fate
We’ve let down our guard

Just a little of this n' that

I drove for the first time ever today. Poor Abi, she's so brave to offer to teach me. I almost crashed twice (and that was even only in our drive way). Look out world when I finally take to the roads. Heh.
I officially joined the JT board about a month back, after "unofficially" helping out on it for the last year. It's exciting. I love the JETTs and Teens in our area.
I'm doing home managing now, scheduling and such. I'm making a mess of things, I'm sure, but hopefully I'll get the hang of it without too much trial and error.
I'm letting my hair go back to it's natural state (aka curly). I think the new look surprised some people, as I've been straightening my hair since I was 18. We'll see how long I can keep up the curls. But change is good. Yes?
I have really ugly feet
I shouldn't talk on the phone after I've had numerous glasses of wine. Heh. Not a testimony.
Sometimes I annoy myself to no end.

Frolicking Fourth

Taboo, Kenji and sunglasses being ridiculously good looking

Jason, Andrew and caguama

Nathan's paparazzi camera work...a birds eye view of the BBQ area

Devin is too cute!

Taboo-ing... (GIRLS RULE) yay

Par-tay....good times

I managed to stay out of most pics, but my back made an appearance in this one, along with the hunk that is Dan, and some tasty looking BBQ chicken. Yum.

YAY!

Happy Birthday Pups...I love you soooo much!
I'll see you soon and we'll celebrate properly then!
Have a wonderful new year
Muah

Passed!!

So Angel and I passed our written drivers test.....much to the *cough* disappointment of the boys.
Thanks for praying. We both got two wrong, which I heard isn't a bad score. TYJ!
I've managed to get my hands on some pics from our 4th of July frolicking, and I'll post em soon.
I miss you
I need a hug

Ole'

Had the most wonderful last two days down in the company of our sister homes...I miss you already.
Danced, partied, ate, played volleyball with a flat ball, talked, Taboo-ed, lotsa hugs and kisses, swam..(and almost managed to catch some waves), did shots....just about everything....oh and there was even poker :P
Yeah it was a wonderful two days. TYJ. Now our weekend is that much sooner.
And I'm taking my drivers test tomorrow, so please pray for me, pretty please, that I'll pass :D

Ole'

I'll steal pics somehow so you can have a glimpse :D

the 4th

Ole'!

There was nothing that wasn't a testimony
And that, my friends is the page.

if you get it you get it, if you don't you don't ;)


I love you Smichelles

What we're up to.....

Our whole home is temporarily migrating across the border for the 4th of July holiday. We're going down in a couple of hours and will spend the night and tomorrow there, BBQing, fellowshipping on the beach....cerveza, tequila and all that good stuff. YAY
I'll see you soon and I'm sure you'll hear from me when we get back ;)
Kisses, bites etc.....

Books

Currently reading:
The Pilgrims Regress -- C.S. Lewis
Courtesy of Kenji.....so far it's fascinating

Freeday today...Cons and I are headed out for a bit, then I think I'm gonna take myself out to the courtyard, lay a blanket down, have an ice cold beer and work on my "tan" (if you can call it that...heh) as I read it. Recipe for a wonderful day. Yay

Smiling
