It's good to be back in Texas where Spring comes at ya the way God intended: With thunder and rain, and tornado warnings, and most especially: golf ball size hail. I'll have a picture soon of the hail I retrieved from outside that allegedly (it's pleading the 5th) left 2 big dents on the hood and 5 on the roof of my new-to-me car. I may have to enact some PC torture techniques to get the truth out of him, but I have a feeling he'll squeal like a ferrel pig when I take him out of the freezer and place him next to the BURNER 'O TRUTH! (my oven).
In other news, if you read my recent Facebook status, apparently placing your pajamas underneath your pillow while you're not wearing them is NOT the work of crazy people. Sorry Colleen, that I called you crazy. And wrote that stuff about you on the bathroom stall at Chuey's on 183.
Finally, I've realized I have a really hard time keeping up with all my friends and family. I've been blessed by having amazing friends/family, but they all live in way different places, i.e.: parents in Africa; Boston friends (Ruth and Kelly: Shout out to Baby-Mama-To-Be-Ruth! What do they call "aunt" in Ireland?) + Boston Graham Bo; Mandy, Kate, Sarah, Mandy, JP in Fort Worth; Grandparents in Lubbock and Houston; Aunt, Uncle in Pennsylvania; Sal in Petersburg (to be honest, that's Petersburg, Tx, but I'll let you think Russia because it's a bit flashier); Em K in Macedonia; El in Cali/Arizona; My Other Sister Allison A. and her clan in Lubbock; And my Sundown family; Not to mention the friends/family I have here in Austin. Whew. That was like a long Oscar thank you speech. The point is, if it takes me this long to list all these people out that I am close to, and consider family, how do I stay involved in their life and encourage them as God leads? Where's the time? Any suggestions? Mass mailings perhaps?
Tomorrow is Thursday. Which means the day after that is Friday. Pay Day and Jean Day at work. My favorite combination! (Other than Chicken + Fajita and Cadbury + Egg)
To all my homies,
much love
