Bananas Blog!

Okay so yes I am a girl. While being giddy with sami tonight in her room I hear a thumping…going “Thump, thump thump Pause Thump thump thump” for like a half hour we hear this……so finally by the time we are spooked we decided to call cops b/c we are scared that it’s something outside. SO yeah the cop comes out, walks around and comes into our house and looks around our basement (i’m so glad he did, i was scared shit less about that) and then he tells us we probably have a bat in our attic or some animal. Well that’s a little better but still! I scare very easily! so yeah that’s why i’m up at 2:30 writing this instead of going to bed. I’m such a woosy…in fact if I knew matthew wouldn’t kill me for waking him up i’d call him and make him sleep on the floor with a bat. Lol.

Speaking of matthew….HE’S THE GREATEST! Even if he calls me 4 times and is upset I don’t answer Actually he got me panera cinnamon crunch bagels! Yay! So sami and I are gonna share on tomorrow in religion tomorrow b/c that’s what we do…we share food in religion, usually animal crackers but hey variety is the spice of life.

Speaking of Sami (yes i know i already did that once) she’s the cooliness-ness. She has to write a paper about how she loves, right? well anyone that knows sami, well lets just say they know. But so she’s gonna use one of my sayings! it is “Grab the bull by the balls I’m soo special!

Okay so i totally need some massive prayers about what I’m gonna do for retreat next weekend, like what my Prayer part is gonna be about. OH and yeah ineed to remember to do the warm fuzzy’s….hmm. SO yeah please pray for me. At the moment i have an idea of the message I think God wants me to convey but I don’t know how to convey it yet. so here’s the message and maybe if you pray it and I pray it, an answer will come to one of us and then you can tell me!

FYI – This is kinda my mantra….

Christ has no body now on earth but yours;
yours are the only hands with which he can do his work,
yours are the only feet with which he can go about the world,
yours are the only eyes through which his compassion can shine forth upon a troubled world.
Christ has no body on earth now but yours.
-St. Theresa of Avila

Okay that’s all…Night!

The one thing that put a huge smile on my face and almost peed my pants from laughter would definatley have to be today when megan flashed me….Megan the prude of all prudes flashing me, the queen of indecent exposure. What a fantastic day! oh and we have some great ideas for christmas cards That is all for now,….now to study.

The Terrential downpour of “rain” in the Local Dayton Area would normally have citizens running for cover but not this daring girl….Anna. She braved the tests and papers and lectures and work to set aside her time the the Blessed Sacrament and it seems as though nothing can touch her now.

Okay I know i’m corny and Yes I realize it is 1:30 in the am and I have to be in class at 9 and tomorrow will be just as busy of a day as today but it really was a true blessing spending that hour with Jesus. Granted I don’t have all the answers and I’m staying up way to late but I’m not stressing about things right now. My paper is done thanks to my two great roommates who helped me proof and rip it to shreds but hopefully the grammar won’t make trollinger so mad. and I think i did well on my Abnormal Psych test. I usually do, I’ll find out for sure tho on friday. and Yeah….I have a test and paper due wednesday but I’m not gonna panic, I’m just gonna be up all night long But yeah, i’m gonna go to sleep…Sami’s CD is almost done burning and I need to pack for tomorrow. Should be a great day!

God bless!

Prayer Requests:
-Family, Friends, Boyfriend and his family, housemates (Specifically Sami b/c she needs to have a relationship in a day )
-My personal prayer life
-My Erin
-My Sara (she’s 21 now!) and Mary Pat (who’s also 21)
-For people in my life I dont’ see very often
-For My Goddaughter, Samantha. I miss her like a whoa.

Well this weekend was a ton of fun. Work three days a week oh and coming in early :-[ Oh well it’s money right….? Went to FREEFAHL and saw Oval Opus! They the coolest. Sarah and I almost stole one of them, but got their guitar string that broke instead and an autograph. Oh yeah and the reason I say ouch as my subject…yeah definately tooo much head banging on the Jaded Era Set….I need much icy hot and tennis tomorrow is going to hurt muy muy!!

Well this upcoming week in a nut shell.
SCARY!!
3 Tests
2 Papers
1 Final

and that’s not even the tip of the iceberg….lectures, volunteer work, regular work + a bunch of rotating shifts to cover and then going to a deaf church this weekend to fulfill a ASL requirement…oh and yeah i have to figure out what i’m doing for Retreat next weekend by this friday…Hopefully adoration will be a huge blessing tomorrow so God will give me some insight and strenght and maybe even a muscle relaxer.

Have a good week all….Leave me some love!
oh and yeah, “Earmuffs, Buddy, Earmuffs” Oval Opus rocked!

I dunno what I am right now. Besides a human being. I’m happy with my boyfriend who’s the greatest in every aspect. I’m so lucky to have him. I’m not so much looking forward to this weekend except for saturday after work when i go to FREEFAHL with sara (i hope Chrissy comes too….) but yeah that’s about it. pretty exhausted today….But i feel accomplished. Have a good night!

I dunno what’s going thru my mind right now. Today was an okay day, found out that there is nothing wrong with my gall bladder (no suprise) but they don’t know what’s up with me so i’m gonna go see my home doctor. my txt response isn’t due till next week so that made me happy. I miss my matthew….this year is gonna suck since I can’t see him even once a day. i’m working way to much but i guess that’s good for money but i wish i didn’t have to work as much….I don’t mind but like I need to take a weekend break and do something for me. I’m really glad friday is almost here but sad at the same time since i’m workin friday and sunday. Oh well.

I have to say I’ve found the answer to all relationships. Complete honesty….I think that’s the only thing that has saved matthew and mine’s relationship.

Oh and i’m craving peppermints. seriously craving them. I know i’m strange.

I’m so proud, i studied half of my stuff for my test today and i’ll do the rest probably tomorrow night or firday night. but i gotta study for child development and for learning. Anyone that wants to teach learning to me let me know….I’d really appreciate it.

I’m going to bed, to blahed right now to really care about much of anything except for the fact that I miss matthew a whole bunch.

I also just realized that Monday and Tuesday are gonna be some extremely tough days. For instance I have a presentation due i have full days both monday and tues (where I leave around 9 and don’t get home till about 7-8ish) and I start my asl class on tuesday so that will be rush rush rush day b/c i also have a meeting. Okay I lied Tuesday is going to be my terrible day…monday is just dreadful but tuesday is terrible so that means you have to pray for me. thanks I love ya tons!

Me soo sleepy but let me recap on this weekend:
Friday = AWESOME! I LOVE JARS OF CLAY!!! and then Friendly’s Ice cream…it was GREAT!
Saturday= Made Breakfast for matthew and it was good for a change! and then work all day long but it was really unproductive I couldnt’ concentrate at all, I went to meijers for food shopping and spent $112 but 45 was on meds, vitamins, lotion and a crate so yeah food was expensive this week but i got stuff that wouldn’t go bad and some stuff that is healthy like fruit and vegi’s that could go bad.
Sunday= work where again I didn’t study and then to home for dinner and stuff and then to church and after church to ritters…I’m so spoiled But yeah, church was cool, Only father Gene can bring a basketball to church and use it in a homily. it was very good….A reminder that unlike the feeling that we are glass and when we fall we break the truth is with the god, the church and the holy spirit we in actuality like a basketball we bounce back up…and that in our life we always fall down, and hit rock bottom but we bounce back up. I thought it was a powerful message. But I’m gonna go to sleep

Please keep me, my family, my housemates, matthew and my close friends in your prayers this week. Thank you

yeah two words
Emotional Day
-why? I don’t know why….i wish i knew why. But it’s okay, tears only clean us up so maybe now I don’t smell.

I did get my book bag today, I love it! It’s tooo cool. I’m also getting pumped for the jars of clay concert but bummer I can’t bring my camera…maybe i’ll sneak it in

Catholic Life Group was really cool….if you want to know what it’s about talk to me and I’ll inform you, it was really cool tonight. So i’ll leave with a quote from that.

“If you are what you should be, you will set the world ablaze.” -PJP2 or Pope John Paul II

God ignite the light in my soul and let it’s flames kiss everyone I meet. Amen

ps. I love you matthew

Yep still on a high about the Jars of Clay concert….:-D Nothing can bring me down now! well okay so something could but i’m not gonna let me! I got paid today, i was rich for a while but now i’m not so rich anymore. I bought the tickets and then the bookstore was having a sale on clothes (20% off) so I got a Dayton Zipper Hoodie (finally) and some dayton shorts that I can wear to tennis I got my paper for History done, yay! and tomorrow i”ll have to do a rough draft on my powerpoint but i htink i can pull out 4 slides in about 3 hours. Umm other then that…nothing really. I’m gonna get to bed…but not before leaving you with a Jars of Clay song and lyrics

The Edge of Water – Jars of Clay
Have you ever been haunted the way I’ve been by you. And have you ever felt the measure of the days that I’ve spent waiting, pining for you. I can’t see the sun for the daylight. I can’t feel your breath for the wind. I don’t want to step from these shadows, till you’re comin back again. I’ve dammed the emotions to keep my lanterns lit. I’m shaken by this longing coursing through my veins. In my mind I can’t make sense of it. I can’t see the sun for the daylight. I can’t feel your breath for the wind. I get so used to these shadows. Are you comin back again? Do we give up this search and turn out the light? Give up this holy ghost that rattles through the night? I can’t see the sun for the daylight. I can’t feel your breath for the wind. I get so used to these shadows. Will you chase away these shadows when you come back again?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God be with us all today as we challenge ourselves to live more like your son. Amen.
