Ok so the last few days have been a bit of a blur. I think this is mostly due to the fact that I was strangely inspired and excited after talking with Claire. I think we stopped talking at about 11:30 and I then spent the next 4 1/2 hours painting out the excitement. I love random spurts like that. I get them at school but I don't even have any of the materials I need or the time to devote to it (due mostly to the joy that is interdisciplinary study). But last night, I had all the time I could stay awake to use... although I still lacked paint, so I had to use what we had left over from when I painted my room this summer. I still like it though!

Sadly, I forgot all about pictures with Tonia... But the day itself was AWESOME. I love going to Cafe Brazil in the mornings. That, followed by a great portion of retail therapy made the first half of my day exceptionally great. The second half--or maybe I should say thirds considering the time I spent on the picture...whatever, halves are workin for me--of my day was good too. I went on a walk with my mom for about hour or so; we used to go on them all the time so that we could just be outside (I think she just know how much I like being outside and goes on them for me really, she's a good mom) and hang out. I had really missed them. Then I went off to spin class with my dad and when we were back we all had dinner. I had also really missed home cooked meals.

Speaking of which... tomorrow I'm headed to Waco for the day to check out some houses for Selena and myself to live in. Wish us luck! I'm expecting something really great to happen: mostly because I was really bummed that the duplex we were going to live in with a bunch of our friends fell through. But, the more I look back on my life, the more I realize that a lot of the disappointments I keep coming across are really more like great opportunities for something better than I would have planned.

Humbling?

Yes.
