Friday Segway

Yay! It's Friday again. My favourite day of the week. The whole weekend to come is yet before me and not behind me.

I hear it's supposed to be decent outside tomorrow. Maybe I ca get my lazy butt off the couch and doing something constructive with my time; although I do still have 2 chick flicks I bought htis week to watch.

Last night I spent Valentine's Day with my dog, then my mom.
My parents went to dinner at the Cherokee room. I declined to go with them. Instead I gathered a bunch of ingredients and went to their house. I made stuffed mushrooms which were rather good. There were no-fat fig Newtons for dessert.

After getting mesmerized by old family photo albums as I looked for a vase for the flowers I'd brought my mom, I started watching "Chasing Liberty". I didn't get very far in the movie when my parents got home.

I swtiched movies to the more tear-jerking "A Walk to Remember" which my mom had wanted to see. When the movie was over and I prepared to leave, I played with my dog for one more minute.

In a careless toss, I threw one of his toys to the dining room, where it hit he wine glass full of red cranberry juice I'd been drinking and sprayed it all over the light gray carpet.

Needless to say, I spent the next 1/2 hour with mom's help, scrubbing it out.

I was in bed by 10.

Morning I did have a nice voicemail from a close co-worker thanking me for the Valentine i'd left on his desk that morning. He thought it was something work related so didn't open it 'til after I'd left.

Nothing much of tremendous interest is going on in my life......
I finished reading Captivating and am now moving on to Blue Like Jazz.

I feel a certain sensitivity to spiritual warfare I've never felt before. I've always kind of ignored to warfare concept but now I feel it's presence....it's unusual. I feel my eyes have been opened to new things this week. Now I'm trying to process.

Tonight I will watch my brother bowl and perhaps have an encounter that's bound to happen at some point. I confess, I'm skipping church to try and hasten this encounter just to get it over with because i'm tired of it looming over my head.
I want to be able to see and feel the Son without big emotional clouds looming over me.

I'm not seeking out this encounter per se, just placing myelf in the same building to see what happens. I have no idea what I'll say if it does happen. But much of my anger is gone and I feel a peace about the past.

Sorry, I know a lot of this sounds pretty vague but it's a very personal matter.

I'm excited that spring is coming. The spring fever is coming on. I long to be back in nature and out on the water and just drinking in the beauty all around me.

Hope the weekend brings good things to all. :)
