the things blog. a halfway-through-the-month roundup of all the “things I’m…” enjoy.
Reading
- Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters, Rick Riordan. Finished in 2 days. Still not the greatest books, but the Greek mythology is entertaining and it's a quick read.
- Bridget Jones' Diary, Helen Fielding. Less entertaining than the movie, but I'm glad I read it. I should definitely up my knowledge on British inside humor.
- Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse, Rick Riordan. See above.
- Into The Wild, Jon Krakauer. Slow in some places, but I just love anything that Krakauer writes.
- The Giver, Lois Lowry. Not quite as awesome as when we read it in 7th grade, but definitely a little weirder. …So that's good.
- Bossypants, Tina Fey. Straight to the point, funny, and an insight into how incredibly intelligent she really is.
- Hope Mendola's Blog. Like, hours of it. It's so encouraging and insightful and uplifting. She's an incredibly gifted writer.
- The Last of the Mohicans, James Fenimore Cooper. After long standing as my favorite movie, I decided to finally open the book. As of today I'm only past the historical introduction and first chapter, but I can tell it's going to be a really good read.
Listening
- all the new music I ganked from Shannon last month. thank you, Big Band Music.
Watching
- The West Wing, Season 1. Only the greatest show ever written, directed, or acted in. Ever.
- Grey's Anatomy, Seasons 1 and 2. With almost every other girl in the house. SO MANY EMOTIONS.
Eating
- bread and butter
- corkscrew noodles with peas
- macaroni noodles
- fried potatoes
- rice
- iced lattes whenever possible (not as often as desirable, but…)
- the sweetest pineapple anyone has ever eaten ever
Ministry
- teaching in schools
- preaching in churches
- women's ministry
- youth ministry
Loving
- every second of watching Grey's with the ladies
- iced lattes
- the atmosphere of a real coffee shop
- community
- the rain we've had off and on the past couple days
Not Loving
- the mountain we have to climb in order to get to any sort of ministry or off day.
- how stinking hot it is ALL THE TIME
- the incredibly long trip to town on a bus that stops every few feet
Looking Forward To
- ASIA. Since I was 12.
