12 things.

This seems fun to do.  And in the interest of finding more out about who I am, I thought I'd do it.
12 things you may or may not know about me. 
Here we go.

1. I am so happy it's Friday.  And not just any Friday.  MEMORIAL WEEKEND FRIDAY! That means swimming! (hopefully) 
2. I love swimming. 
3. I've never had surgery or been under anesthesia.
4.  Warm, cloudy, rainy-days-that-end-in-thunderstorms are my favorite kind.
5. Planting seeds and watching a plant grow over the course of time is exciting to me.
6.  I have naturally curly hair but nobody else in my immediate family does.
7. I like reading but it has to be the right book and I have to be in the right mood. Otherwise, it can take me a very looonnnggggg time to get through a book. One of my favorite parts about reading though, is finishing a book and adding it to my (I like calling it this because it seems ironic, but not in the literary sense of the word) "Done Been Read" log . Which leads me to the next...
8.  I greatly enjoy crossing things off of to-do lists.
9.  I lived in Asia for 10 years and I speak the language fluently.
10. My middle name is rose.
11. I have freckles year-round.
12. I didn't care for chocolate until I tasted dark chocolate. I'm hungry for some just writing about it.

Post Prompts I

I googled blog post prompts just for fun and found a website with a whole bunch.  Rather than writing whole posts on some of the topics, I decided to do interview style responses. Write about the first time you broke the law. When I was 4, stole a handful of grass seed from a store. Felt awful but never admitted to it untill way later. They knew I was lying but never prosecuted (is it even possible to prosecute a 4 year old?).  I discarded the evidence onto their lawn as soon as I got out of the store (I guess that was sort of smart).  Why grass seed? Good question.  Your favorite vacation spot or place that you've traveled to. An Island in Malaysia called Redang. Everything about that place looked like those tropical photos you secretly doubt the existence of.  Straight up B-E-A-U-tiful. Write about the passing of a loved one. My Grandma died 2 years ago on the 4th of July (ironic, don't you think?).  For me, the whole experience wa...

From desiringGod Blog

From a blog I follow called  desiringGod .  The whole website is full of truth.  I encourage you to check it out.  I've enlarged and boldened sentences I think are especially well said.   Not Your Mother's Kind of Tolerance by Jonathan Parnell | August 2, 2012   Views that advocate same-sex marriage are free to exist, but they are wrong. Now, stop. Read the above sentence again. Are you okay with it? Chances are how you feel about that statement indicates your understanding (or misunderstanding) of tolerance. D. A. Carson, in his book, The Intolerance of Tolerance , explains that Western culture isn't exactly firing on all cylinders when it comes to knowing what tolerance is. He distinguishes two different concepts of this word: old tolerance and new tolerance. Old tolerance — that is, before the onslaught of postmodernism — defines the concept as to "accept the existence of different views." New tolerance, however, defines tolerance ...

We Meet Again

Well, to say that it feels weird to be here again is an understatement. This is a little emotional for me and I'll try to explain why. Firstly, it's been a while since the last time I wrote here. When I typed the address into the search bar, I was actually surprised that a 404 page didn't show up and that, instead, I saw a familiar title and design come up on the screen. There it was - my own writing, published on a web page I undoubtedly spent hours adjusting and tweaking until it was just right, down to the blue and green squares I painted  by hand, scanned into a computer and digitized the old fashioned way with....wait for it.....*Microsoft Paint*.  Illustrator? Pshht. Who needs that when you've got the grandmother of graphic design tools for FREE on your receptionist job work computer? (sarcasm, of course. Adobe, baby, I love you.) But even the details and designs of this page speak to the reason why this is emotional for me. All of the things about this blog that ...
