| It's time! For a new xanga post. First off, this is the news that I don't really post at my regular blog (well, I will, but not yet). My sister and I are planning to go to Germany this month! Super exciting, kind of nerve wracking since I've never done anything like this before. I don't think I've ever even spent two months away from home. But this promises to be interesting at the very least ;)
Second, I'm almost home from a five week tour. It'll be nice to get back to my own room ;) No more listening to sleep talkers at night (going to miss that) and no more stacks of books falling on me in the middle of the night (not going to miss that). It's amazing how little I live with on the road compared to at home. I think I need to get rid of more stuff.

| I almost couldn't figure out how to write a new post. I'm not a huge fan of xanga, as you can tell from my neglect of this page. I haven't blogged on here for over a year! Pretty cool.
This is my place to be ridiculous, ok? You know, when in xanga-land, do as the xanga-ers do. Oh, whoops! That sounded so wrong!
But my, I'm popular! I just got a request to update AS I WAS TYPING THIS!
I'm tired of walking on eggshells in real life (and in online life, to a certain degree). I'm being utterly silly and I hope you'll excuse me. If you knew what I was trying to say in this post you might partake in some facet of the emotion that I am feeling rise to my throat as I write.
As for worthwhile content, I must admit I just don't feel inspired to write at the moment. Nor do I feel an inspiration to right the moment ;)
So there you have it; an update.

| I got the opportunity to witness to a woman recently who is almost 99. She came to the Memorial Day Ceremony that we did the sound system for in town. At her age, she claims never to have told a lie, to never have broken any of the 10 commandments. How sad. She has a Catholic background and thought it was fantastic (she said) that I was thinking about what I was talking about, "because the world is SO bad." But though I asked her to honestly search her heart, she still said she had never broken a commandment.
As I left, she joked that maybe she had lied to me when she said she hadn't ever lied, but then said "I'm just kidding!" She said she had "taken" apples that weren't hers but laughed at my statement that taking apples from a neighbor without permission would be stealing them. She said she was always the mischief maker in her house. It was a very interesting conversation, you don't get to speak with an almost centegenarian (did I spell that right?) every day. She's very spry, doesn't look 98. How sad though, to have come to that point in your life and still deny Christ. I pray that her heart would soften. | | |
| Since this is kind of my offbeat website and not many people know about it, I feel like I can post anything :D Of course, nothing scandalous or anything, and I know that anyone CAN see it. But the general population that visits my blog doesn't visit here. And I can check out people's reactions to things and see if I want to post them at my blog 
So consider yourself a guinea pig. 
Some people know I've been working out. Yes that's right, pumping the iron. I've got two 10 lb dumbbells and some weights for a barbell. Other than that I do bodyweight exercises like pull ups and pushups. So far I can only do 3 full pullups, from straight armed down to chin over the bar (rafter! lol) and no kipping, like in this video. It kind of hurts my hands to hold on to the rafter, but it's ok. It increases grip strength I'm sure.
This girl can really do pull ups! I suppose kipping isn't cheating, but to me it's not a real, full pull up. Each to his own.
Ok so I took some flexing pictures to see how my progress is going. The lighting is extremely deceptive, it makes me look more ripped than I am! (Which is reality is very little).
And a tricep shot.
So these are the nutty things I do...besides eating a lot of salad and nuts and chicken and cottage cheese and NOT eating hardly any sugar or white flour. It's been interesting. It'll be much harder to eat healthily on the road, I think, but I'm not worried about it. I'm doing what I can with the resources I have and God will supply what I need :) | | |
