That was a little shout out to Hillary and Ann, who know what I mean by that title. Yes it is a Kelly Clarkson song, but it has so much more meaning than you may know. Last night was fun. After work I went home took a little nap and then Hillary called, we went to PotBelly and saw Tom and Hillary got dinner. Then off to Chauncey to get DenPops and some Taco Bell. We watched some tv and laughed a lot from what I recall and then headed over to her parent's house to watch more tv...heh. From 9-10 we pretty much busted a gut the entire time. Great fun!
There has been a little bit going on, trying to get my car fixed which seems like it is going to work out well thanks to Lisa and Charlie and my parents, and Twin City Dodge for letting me know what is wrong with my car. Thanks! I went to a meditation session on Monday evening at St. Thomas Aquinas with Rebecca. There is a group of Buddhist Monks touring the US and Canada and their first stop was in Lafayette/West Lafayette. Part of the Sacred Art Tour. So it was really neat. When the actual meditation started, I wasn't quite sure what to do. In the very front were the monks and then the next section there were meditation pillows on the ground and some people were using them and they closed their eyes and I looked around the room a little bit and some peoples' eyes were still open while others' were shut. So I figured, I will shut my eyes and listen. The chanting/harmonizing of the monks and their prayers was really neat (seems I can't think of better words than "really neat". It seems I may need to get that thesaurus a little sooner). Anyways. It was a really good time and I think with my eyes closed I didn't distract myself from looking at other things in the room, but just focusing on how the monks sounded, etc. There was a small Q&A afterwards. It was really good except for the first question. It was from an older woman with a Bible and she said, "I would like to read the first commandment." "I am the Lord your God...You shall have no other gods before me..." to which she then said, "this commandment has been broken in this room tonight" there was a collective gasp and it really bummed me out that this woman sat through the evening just to say something so heart-breaking. I have talked enough about this though since the event, so I don't really want to say anything more.
What else? I am trying to clean today...hasn't happened so far. Seems all I have done is slept, ate, read, slept, and now I am here blogging. But I presume I will get some sort of organizing cleaning done. I need to get on it soon I have a lot of stuff coming up in July that will probably keep me from being able to pack then. So depending on how this goes, I may be back to blog more later.
Peace;)
