Without.

"Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything."

So while reading Men's Health I came across this ad for this yogurt. Greek yogurt is the new cottage cheese. I really love this yogurt now. Thank you, Men's Health. Not only did you provide me entertainment with Paul Walker and an interesting article to read, "I Want My Prostate Back", but I now know the greatness of Greek yogurt.

 
Me yogurt and me homage to Earth Day.

Yesterday's shift at the hospital was so slow. I was the only volunteer there so I had to man the front for 2 hours instead of just one. At least there was a copy of vogue and vanity fair to keep me occupied. Toward the end of my shift I had to run some paper work upstairs. So I took the elevator up and waited until I reached my destination. Riding in the elevator is not as exciting as Grey's Anatomy makes it out to be. Usually, I am the only one in the elevator and there is no juicy gossip to be shared (there are even signs in the elevators reminding everyone of patient confidentiality). I closed my eyes to let them rest a little then got ready to get off. The elevator stopped and the doors opened but to my surprise I couldn't exit. The elevator didn't open to a hallway...it opened to a door. I was freaking confused...and a little scared. What if I got stuck in there an no one knew I was gone??? Then the doors closed and the elevators started to descend. It reached the first floor but then the doors didn't open! I was all freaking out. I thought for sure I was all stuck in there. I was going to die. I got smart and pushed the button and the doors opened. Then, I walked to another elevator and took that one up instead. When I got back on the floor I needed to be on I went around to see what the deal was...

 This door in front of the elevator is shut and locked.

Frightening.

Twice now Esther, Sharon, and I have had wonderfully romantic breakfast dates at Las Brisas.

 Breakfast buffet. The beach. Best friends. Could there be a better way to start the day???

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

How Sweet & Aweful.

How sweet and aweful is the place
With Christ within the doors
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores


While all our hearts and all our songs
Join to admire the feast
Each of us cry with thankful tongues
"Lord, why was I a guest?"


"Why was I made to hear Thy voice
And enter while there's room
When thousands make a wretched choice
And rather starve than come?"


'Twas the same love that spread the feast
That sweetly drew us in
Else we had still refused to taste
And perish in our sin


Pity the nations, O our God
Constrain the earth to come
Send Thy victorious Word abroad
And bring the strangers home


We long to see Thy churches full
That all the chosen race
May with one voice and heart and soul
Sing Thy redeeming grace


"Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish." Jonah 3:9

When I sleep it will be like I am in a cage!

My roommate took her mattress out into the living room to sleep...now I have a cage-bed!

Took a shower and came back to find these guys getting ready to watch me sleep...

Spring break is the best! I love the sun and having time to do anything I want. Like today, I made a snuggie and attempted to make macarons with Kaity.

Hands free!!!

March 16/17

Fortress of Darkness

Weird sleeping patterns and the time change have forced me to make a fort to block out the sunlight that comes through the window and interrupts my precious sleep. Worked too well. Slept an extra 45min. O well, still got time!  I hope this nice weather lasts through spring break...when I can get outside and actually enjoy it...

 

"Store up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:20-21 (Memorized that in Sparklers. Hand motions and all. Hollahhh!)

No boob job, thank you. I want to be unhappy too.

Read this blog from this mother who doesn't want her kids to be happy. I don't want to be happy either. A good reminder in light of finals...and life.

March 3

Dang. Missed the actual day! O well.

March 3rd was a day of food. It all started March 2nd after my volunteer shift at the hospital. I came back to the apartment around 11 40, got ready for bed, check email and facebook one last time, and then crawled into bed around 12 30. I noticed I had missed a text. Skye asked what I was doing around 12 15, so I texted her back saying I was getting ready to sleep. She told me I had to come over "right NOW" because she had macarons that she wanted to share with me. Well, obviously I had to go over. So I crept out of bed threw on my rainbows and trekked across the parking lot to her apartment (living near friends has so many benefits!) After chatting a little with the other roommates and caressing Esther in her sleep, Skye busted out the delicious treats!

 

O yes!

 
 

SO good!!! Best past midnight snack ever.

While I was over at her apartment we tried looking the place the macarons were from up on the internet, but their website was lame. So we checked them out on yelp...which lead to looking at other places with food...namely the Qwick Korner. We decided we'd check it out for breakfast later that morning. So, at 8 15 we ventured out to find this place with 4.5 star rated breakfast burritos. Esther came too. After a couple of Uturns we found the place.

 

This thing was huge! The size of a small baby....for real. I got a 2 meat one. Ham and Bacon. Delicious!

 

Even though it was so huge...I still killed it. But it was crazy....

I didn't eat again until I was done with class and I ate a small banana. Then, I ran. Haha.

For fellowship after CCM we went to the Hat and ended up sharing some fries with some of my favorite freshmen.

 

 

Glorious!

All of this eating wouldn't be so terrible if I wasn't participating in my apartment's "Biggest Loser" contest.....freak...
