If It's Thursday, It Must Be Beverly

Do you believe it is 8:30 in the morning and I am already awake? I don't!


I have actually been awake for a few hours. It's been a long weekend. After the Overnight on Friday, I went to bed at 8am Saturday, slept until 8pm that night, then stayed up all the way through 6:30 last night. I tried to make it longer, but I just couldn't. I slept until a little before 5 this morning and have been up since. 


I read through a particularly lovely, romantic and in someways completely heartbreaking fanfiction called Seasons by Onesimus this morning. It's about the formation of a relationship between Elsie Hughes and Charles Carson, the housekeeper and butler of Downton Abbey. It's rated Mature for a reason, but also had some moments that brought tears to my eyes. I am actually still feeling melancholy even as I write this, hours later.


Do you ever do that? Get so into a book or movie that you are feeling what the characters must have felt? I find that I carry it with me into the rest of my day unless I do read or watch something to counter the  mood.


Benjamin Franklin is often quoted as saying Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. My proof this morning is that next up in my netflix queue is the MSW episode If It's Thursday, It Must Be Beverly. I have mentioned before that this is one of my favorite episodes and it really is. It is just so funny. I'm sure in another 47 minutes I will be feeling much more myself.

We are going to Columbus today for Stef-E's birthday. It will be nice to spend the day away just having fun. I miss that.

    I'm so glad you survived the overnight :)

    And I take on characters' emotions all the time! On weekends at the 3rd shit job, we don't have a supervisor so I read between calls and I really had to struggle to not cry one night during a particularly pathetic moment.

    Oh, i have that. It's called 'empathy' and i carry oodles of that with me. If you are high sensitive, you are usually very empathic and i have a feeling most of the people replying here are just that.
    BTW - i am totally going to read that fanfic! I haven't read any in AGES!

In the darkness, something is coming...

It has been a long week. I started out with the best of intentions, but somehow ended up getting sidetracked anyway. It is frustrating. I am being tempted with an offer that is nearly too good to refuse. It would be so easy to say yes, but as much as I want it, I also know that God is saying it isn't my time. I have so much going on, so much left to do. Adam and I were talking earlier about a big decision we are in the process of making. He asked me if I thought we would ever be really ready. To be honest the answer for this decision and my offer are the same. No, there will probably never be a perfect time, but the God I serve is a God of will and purpose. He has a plan for me and all I can do is watch for his signs! And there are signs, and he does still speak. I will listen carefully, even in the darkness.

Santorwrong

by Jeff Darcy, Cleveland Plain Dealer ,  So I doubt it will come as a surprise to anyone who knows me that Santorum scares the crap out of me. He looks like a nice guy and then he opens his mouth and says thi ngs like  "CO2 is a pollutant? Tell that to the plants." and I just want to scream.  I like to think that the only reason someone goes into politics is because they really think they can make a change for the better in some way or another. I cannot imagine someone willingly putting their lives and the lives of their family up to the media  scrutiny of any political race, much less the presidential one, without them really, truly believing good could come of it. So I have to believe that as much as I disagree with nearly everything that comes out of his mouth, Rick Santorum honestly wants what he thinks is best for America. He does not deserve (and we, as Americans do not deserve) this. By Monte Wolverton  It is 2012 people. Do we really need to be afraid of

I hate Easter Lilies.

I hate Easter Lilies. I don't think I can fully express here or any where how much I hate them. They look like sweet and innocent flowers with their bright, white flowers, slim, green stalks and leaves. But if you look close, within the flowers you will find the bright yellow of the stamen. The evil, evil stamen with its dreadful pollen. My sinuses are full. My stomach is upset. My head aches. At one point tonight I could not remember where I lived. Seriously. I hate Easter Lilies.
