so i went to a wedding today! my friend bryan from here in woodstown and my friend jessie from grove city. it was weird knowing the wedding parties on both sides. it was like my worlds collided, but it was really fun. i think i used to think that weddings were overrated. but this one was simple and beautiful and i was like 'hey that could be cool someday' hahah. bryan's little brother kevin says to me "wait.. you're not engaged?? didnt you go to grove city?? i heard thats the trend there". hes smart.
it really was enjoyable though. then watched the phillies pitch a perfect game and then went to the custard stand. it was just a joyous evening. i needed that.
the past couple weeks ive had this weird kink in my neck from sleeping funny. but in the past two days its gotten progressively worse to the point where i could barely get out of my bed yesterday morning. my doctors exact words upon feeling my neck : "holy crap girl! what'd you do??"
uh. i dont know.
but now i'm hopped up on steroids and muscle relaxers. i haven't been very lucid, save for this evening.
i'm playing the guitar for worship in church tomorrow. my guitar. a piano. and an organ. so old school.
pardon me while i go change the world

rain rain go away
it's starting again.
just when everyone's getting along and things seem decently bearable at home, something in someone snaps and the things i hate about being here come to the surface yet again. and in a couple days they'll be things of the past. and then a couple days after that they'll reappear. a vicious cycle. i'm not quite sure what to do here. sit in this black chair and hear doors slam and voices raise and just ignorantly go about my business as if nothing is wrong. that's how it's always been. be an example, lauren. they need you, lauren. as if i know anything.
my brother didn't go running this morning. but, i, being the stubborn role model to a boy 5 years older than me, ran anyway. i listened to miley cyrus. its a great thing to listen to while running, honestly, because you want to rip your hair out while you hear her computerized voice so it makes you run faster in your fury. i think i went almost a mile without my knee giving way. i'd call that a great success.
it would be storming right now.
i went to a vbs meeting tonight at church. the songs we're doing are absurd. they're all about how we didn't come from monkeys, and not enough about God. ugh. and they're not catchy. how do i work with this?!
if you think of it, keep my boss myron in your prayers. he gets really bad vertigo and it hit him again a couple days ago. he was rushed away in an ambulance today because he couldn't lift his head without throwing up. poor guy. i need him to be up and adam. that laugh keeps me going.

what was i thinking
In an attempt to be a good, encouraging sister, I told my want-to-get-healthy brother that I would go running with him in the morning.
That means I have to go running in the morning.
Shoot.
It will probably be a sight to behold, actually. The two of us gasping for breath, legs aching, chest bursting, after less than a half mile. Good thing my new iPod has a video camera on it. I could secretly document the whole experience.
Yes, I caved and bought an iPod. I am ashamed. But I mean I guess it is kind of cool.
So the only reason I'm creating this blog is because Shi told me to. I'll do anything Shi tells me to. Unless it's something life threatening.
So, to the four of you that will ever read this, welcome :). I'll do my best to keep it updated with any random thoughts I have as I continue to figure out what the heck is next in this crazy life. I already informed everyone at my church to keep an eye out for any jobs that could be done by someone who graduated with a Bachelor's of Science degree. They're on the prowl. I am thankful.
But, for the time being, I am working at the farm, learning the ins and outs of God's gift to small business- Quickbooks. Beautiful, really.
Hopefully my "run" in the morning will not inhibit my attempts to familiarize myself with payroll.
In unrelated news, I started unpacking my stuff today. It's only been, what, 11 days of living out of my suitcase? I'm pathetic, I know. Deal with it. I also finished the book The Lovely Bones today. This was quite the accomplishment because I can't remember the last for-fun book I've actually finished. Again.. pathetic. Maybe I'll read another book this week. Maybe.
