That which is up
There's snow today. When I looked out the window this morning, the top half of the mountain was white. The bottom half was brown. I was drawn to stare at it like you do when there's an accident on the road. It was terrible to see, but I couldn't look away. Now there's this wet snow blowing in my ears whenever I go outside. I can't see the mountain anymore because of the clouds.
Other than that, things are pretty good. Friday night we went to a Jars of Clay concert, for which Burlap to Cashmere opened. That was my favorite part. And the encore for Jars of Clay was good. They sang quite a few old songs, which are the ones I know anyway. Another band played inbetween. Need To Breathe. Never heard of them. And I still don't know what they sing because they were so loud that I couldn't understand any of the words.
Sunday I ventured out to the outlet malls in Lancaster. Banana Republic, Gap, Skechers, Nine West, J. Crew, Pottery Barn and many, many more. And all I bought were some Harry & David truffles and a gift for my mother-in-law.
I'm looking forward to time off soon and catching up on sleep and maybe cleaning my house. Probably playing games with friends. So good times, basically.

Hey Lady!
It´s funny to hear Spanish people use that term, lady, because when we say it in America, it´s kind of rude but they don´t know that. Anyways, i was not meaning to be rude. ANYWAYS, i was going to put that it was o.k. for you to read the blog since you were going to send me a package but that opens a whole other can of worms so i just left it...and you comment more than they do. point being, i still love you like i used to. i wish i could be one of those friends you were going to play games with like you said in your blog. nights are often short here since we don´t drink, do drugs, or party - not a whole lot of nightlife for us boring adventists. we went to the beach today - it was dirty and gross. i tried to sunbath but the wind was blowing sand everywhere...it made it very uncomfortable so we didn´t stay long. tomorrow we´re going to see some ruins and two museams. i am much looking forward to that. hope you are having fun. when does camp start for you guys? and if i wanted to be a nurse for a week how would i get ahold of wendy?
I'm proud of you for writing such an upbeat post even though there's snow. Hopefully the snow didn't stay around long.
Thanks for the encouragement. I try. (At least sometimes.)
