Thoughts...random thoughts

I am sitting on the couch this morning with my english muffin and vanilla carmel flavored coffee with a full head... Here's a glimpse:
  • Cheryldawn.com is a photography site that you must visit. She photographed my dear friend's wedding back in May. Cheryl is so talented!! You could also check out cheryldawnphotography@blogspot.com to see some of her work. Wow-o! I wish that I could marry Brian all over again and have her photograph the whole thing. =) Photos (in my opinion) have a way of capturing even the feelings felt within the moment that the picture is snapped.

  • Boxes. I am so sick of seeing boxes all over our rental house... ugh! There really is no way for me to describe how unsettled I feel at this moment because of the lack of order here. Brian keeps telling me that things are orderly...that the boxes neatly stacked and out of the way is very much organized. But he and I are not alike in that I have to see everything in its place before I am able to truly relax. It runs in the family, what can I say? I am predisposed to hyper-organization.

  • What's for dinner tonight? We're having our dear friends, Jacob & Amanda and their two totally fun girls, over... I am thinking of something Italian. Perhaps a baked ziti of some sort. Ideas?

  • Brian and I watched this video on PBS (Frontline) about Iran last night. We don't have cable (not necessarily because we don't like watching television-- we are really missing watching college football right now!-- but we really have cut out everything in our budget that we don't actually need and we couldn't justify t.v. as a need), so we watched it on my laptop. It was really interesting (and sad) how America is perceived among other nations. All in all, I think that the reasons that we are hated by other countries are legitmate... we are spoiled, fat, rich (altogether gluttoness), know-it-alls.

  • Speaking of fat, I need to get after being more healthy and toned. I don't want to seek after vanity, but Brian has told me time and time again that when I take care of myself (don't insert: make-up), it is honoring to him. So, I strive to take care of myself, but in a way that I am not merely seeking outward beauty. I need to start running again.

  • I really wanted to visit my friends Jenn and Whitney in NOLA this weekend, but Brian said that he thought that it was too much on Caleb to drive three hours there and three back in one day. I agree, but I really hate it because I totally miss these two girls. Whitney recently married David and now resides in NOLA, though she originally hails from Lake City, Florida (30 minutes from Gainseville). Jenn is going to be there for the LSU/Florida game (or shall I say, the FLORIDA/LSU game?) and also to catch up with her dear pal, Whit. Anyway, I am just dying to see both of them. How can I make it happen?!

there's more, but I will save you from having to endure the rest.
