next sunday...?

so over the years i've accumulated a few dresses that i'll wear to church. those without sleeves i typically throw a cardigan over. it works.

this pic below however works oh so much better...

i love that she threw a grey cardigan over it. i don't know where it came from but i have an unhealthy addiction to that heathery grey color. so i'm making a commitment. i am going to wear a grey cardigan belted over one of my dresses to church on sunday, may 2nd. and try to feel confident not foolish :)

who wants to be a single lady?

ice cream how i LOVE thee.

lately i've become somewhat of an ice cream addict. sometimes i'll even just decide to eat ice cream for dinner...straight out of the carton...with a fork of course.

my amazing friend lamia introduced me to haagen-dazs five ice cream. their chocolate ice cream only has five ingredients - skim milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks and cocoa. cool yeah?

of course me being a glutten i went one step further and picked up the chocolate peanut butter flavor. a few more than five ingredients but still not too bad - cream, skim milk, sugar, peanut butter (peanuts, peanut oil, sugar, salt), egg yolks, chocolate and cocoa.

did i mention that there are huge swirls of peanut butter mixed through out? yeah it's pretty good.

this strange unwelcomed guest

pain stayed so long i said to him today,

"i will not have you with me any more."

i stamped my foot and said, "be on your way"

and paused there, startled at the look he wore.

"i, who have been your friend," he said to me,

"i, who have been your teacher-all you know

of understanding love, of sympathy,

and patience, i have taught you. shall i go?"

he spoke the truth, this strange unwelcomed guest;

i watched him leave, and knew that he was wise.

he left a heart grown tender in my breast,

he left a far, clear vision in my eyes.

i dried my tears, and lifted up a song-

even for one who'd tortured me so long.
