5 things

1.) Scrubs are the most comfortable things on earth. I'm not talking about the starchy ones that you spend t00-much-money for at the uniform store or the crisp white school of nursing jackets that you see frequently around campus. No, I'm talking about the ones you actually put on to go into surgeries. The ones that precede the blue booties, hair net, and face mask. The ones with a cool drawstring and the v-neck top. Yep, those. I wanted to steal the pair I wore tonight. Don't worry, I didn't... :D

2.) I miss the Pita Wraps that Wendy's used to sell way back in the days of my youth. A more finely wrapped scrumptious meal you will never find. Packed to the bursting with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, feta cheese, greek dressing, etc, it never failed to fill my stomach after a long hard cello lesson with Sister Karen. (side note: hey! Maybe she's the one who got me started on the whole Nun thing!) It was a sad day when we drove up to the Wendy's in Spokane, WA and found, after excitedly ordering our Greek Wraps, that they had been discontinued. Obviously, their culinary tastes were not as refined as ours.

(those of you who are vegan or lactose intolerant, read on with caution. I don't claim to be vegan and am not ashamed of this next paragraph)

3.) I am an expert at Taco Bell's Cheese Quesadilla. It's my all time favorite thing to order. Why? Well, you see, a Cheese Quesadilla is composed of three things. 1. The Tortilla 2. Cheese 3. A most amazing three cheese sauce that's mixed with just the right amount of heart-attack-causing fat and spices to make a delicious blend of creamy goodness. However, there are two things that can go wrong with a Cheese Quesadilla. Actually, make that three things. First, they can mistake your order for a Chicken Quesadilla in which case you will kindly have to engage them in a discourse on the merits of vegetarianism. Second, (and this one occurs especially when going through the drive-through) sometimes when they are in a hurry, they won't leave it in the broiler/cooker-thing long enough and the cheese won't melt entirely. So then it's a three-cheese cole-slaw instead of a three-cheese gooey mess of delight! And third, (and this is the worse) sometimes they won't put on enough of the spicy cheese sauce and it won't be moist or spicy enough. Conclusion: Cheese Quesadillas are amazing!!!!

4.) When I say "dear", it's actually just short for "oh dear". ...not to be confused with a common term of endearment. (except when talking to people such as kristin thomas, caitlin meharry, and marissa martin. I reserve the endearment form of "dear" for them. :D ) Just thought I'd clarify because I think I might have confused some people in the past couple weeks.

5.) I have revised my former opinion of umbrellas. I used to detest them. Now, I don't mind them AS much. I still think they're kinda silly, albeit useful. However, I still would take a bright-colored raincoat over an umbrella any day of the week. The problem is... ...I don't own a raincoat OR an umbrella. Usually I just get soaked, which isn't such a bad thing. It's quite fun!

bon voyage (well, kinda)

Well, it didn't go quite as well as last time. But Timothy George, John Elliot, my brother, and I sure had a good time! Note to self, Joel, and next year's team members: sides need to be lower to promote paddling.

Thus says the Lord:

"Let not the wise man
glory in his wisdom,
Let not the mighty man
glory in his might,
Nor let the rich man
glory in his riches;

But let him who glories
glory in this,
That he understands and knows Me,
That I am the Lord
exercising lovingkindness, judgment,
and righteousness in the earth

For in these I delight,"
says the Lord.

-Jeremiah 9:23,24
