my mom is going away next week on outreach to omak, wa, with our church--so that means that i have/get to cook for my dad and i all next week. so far i have all these grand ideas for yummy food, like spanakopita and tikka masala and fish tacos--all the foods that i can't quite convince my mom to make. we'll see how that all turns out. hopefully well.

thrifted

yesterday and today my mom and i went to a couple of thrift stores/ charity shops. i'm not a huge fan of such places because there isn't so much nice stuff there. but i managed to find four shirts total, and i spent under 20 dollars. nice, huh? and one's a stripey top and i love stripes!
i still haven't bought my nikon though. soon soon soon. i'm so excited.

i bought my flight to england this morning. hallelujah!!!! i'm coming home!!!

the other night i was watching Cinderella Man and i'd forgotten what a good movie that is. i don't really go out for boxing, but it's such a good story. i'm in the good movie mood.

i've been really encouraged by the book that i've been reading, A Chance To Die, about amy carmichael. encouraged and challenged for sure.
