Trusting God

I really have to try to trust God more.  He knows what is best for me but sometimes I worry and fret over the littlest things.  God only wants the best for me, so why is it so darn hard?!?

God even answers the prayers you didn't know you said

I got a piano yesterday...
For free.

God really answered that prayer for me.  I wasn't even outright asking for a piano.  My soul was aching to make music again.  God heard that ache and decided to give me an outlet :)  I am so so so excited to start practicing seriously again.  Here come the hours and hours of scales and hanon!  Oh how I will annoy my roommates with the technical side of piano.  First things first...

I have to file down my beautiful nails :(

Being Productive

Today I have been very productive.  Well, for me that is :)

I cleaned and reorganized my room, put my new sheets on the bed and it looks lovely!  I love a clean room.  I'm also in the process of making a red wine soy sauce marinade stir fry with steak, peppers, onions and mushrooms on a nice steaming bed of rice.

I love being domestic.  I wish that could be my full time job.  But that usually includes kids in the picture and I'm not sure yet if I even want kids.  So, next goal... become a corporate wife?? Hahahahahaha yeah, we'll see about that pipe dream.

Girlfriends are a necessity

I've recently begun hanging out with a group of girls from my church.  I've known them for a long time, but never really hung out much with them.  God sure gives us what we need, when we need it.  I was invited to a birthday party last weekend and it was one of the most fun times I've had in a long time.  I just want to say thank you to those girls (you know who you are ;))  I am blessed to have those lovely women in my life.

On a completely different note, I have started re-watching the show Roswell.  For those who don't know what this is, please please, for your own good, watch it!! Its such a blast from the past, not to mention some yummy eye candy as well as high entertainment value.  I'm such a nerd sometimes.

Resolutions

ok, so maybe I do have a few resolutions for this new year.  they're all pretty much like any other, eat well, drink a lot more water than I normally do, which is pretty much nothing unless you count tea, and finally, get the beach body I've always dreamed of.  Some are more realistic than others obviously, but what is a new years resolution without a little fantasy?!

Cooking is fun!

Since I have moved out, I have discovered that I love to cook.  I have made so many tasty dishes that its a wonder I haven't grown larger than a hippo.  I've also found out that I LOVE to grocery shop!  And yes, i grocery shop when I'm hungry!  That's when I get the best ideas!
I made taco soup this evening because I was craving it so badly when I was at work.  Its one of the best comfort foods I have eaten.  I love soup in general, but there is something exquisitely wonderful about a yummy, hearty, slightly spicy soup.  And you put sour cream in it.  'Nough said.  Anyone have some great recipes they'd like to share?
