Reviving Random

Remember when I posted "Random" and "Random the Sequel" back in the day? I think Random earned the most comments to date when it posted. People seems to dig my scary inner monologue. So here's Random, revived and alive...

I was disappointed the last couple of days. Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. Could, and did, pray. Could, and did, read Psalm 34. Felt much better. God is faithful; He is the ONLY One who is faithful.

I have 2 job interviews. Within 24 hours, I got both calls. I'm nervous and excited, and very aware that an interview is a long way from a hire. We'll see what happens.

My boss introduced me to Grammar Girl. GG's word of the day yesterday was "locavore," which stems from Old English meaning someone who eats local food only (think carnivore, herbivore and you'll get it). I totally dig Grammar Girl. The reason my boss brought it up is because I kept pointing out the tee-niny grammatical errors in some of our documents. Grammar Girl gives "Quick and Dirty Tips" that are extremely useful....I know I have several geeky readers (no offense, I include myself in that crowd) who will say "Enchantee" to Grammar Girl. Enjoy her.

Saw the movie Waitress last night. It was TERRIBLE. Amy, you were dead wrong. Not cute. Terrible.

Saw the movie 27 Dresses last week. It was cute. Except for the very last line. I won't ruin it here for those who have yet to see it, but seriously...2 perfectly good hours of chick flick were utterly destroyed by the last line of the movie. Ugh.

Saw the movie Juno about 3 weeks ago. I bring it up because it was THE BEST movie I have seen in a really long time. It's up for best picture, and I believe Ellen Page, who stars in it, is up for Best Actress. Truly a great movie. I will buy it the second it's out on DVD.

I went running 3 times last week. The last time I'd gone before that was Thanksgiving Day. Needless to say, it pained me greatly to sit on the toilet this week. I hope to get to the point where running doesn't cause such soreness soon.

You know that guy, Mike Huckabee, who's running for President? I met him. Yep. His daughter, Sarah, took my position on the OBU yearbook staff when I left. I even went to the Governor's Mansion. La di da.

And, I asked Sara when in the world it won't be cold anymore. The last time I wore short sleeves was late September. :( We usually get right to 40 degrees before it starts the downturn toward dark. She said it will probably start hitting 50 next month, and then 60 the month after that. That means I have to wait until May for a 70 degree day.

My dad retires March 31st. My grandma sold her house and is moving out by February 29th. Life is changing.

My grandma's house is the closest thing I have to a childhood home. I will not see it again, as I can't get to Corpus by the end of February. I will write a piece called "Grandma's House" as a catharsis.

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. I'm trying to figure out if/what to give up for Lent. I've never given anything up before. Suggestions? (Don't say Starbucks, it won't happen.)
