Caffeinated Randomness

Don't miss out on all the fun, there's more randomness at Andrea's!

A weekend never ceases to delight me. Whether I have a schedule crammed full or nothing on the agenda, I practically ooze joy when it comes to a Saturday. But there are a couple particular reasons I am going to enjoy this one (and feel free to be in awe of my low, low expectations): the weather is pleasantly mild, I have good intentions at eating a hamburger at my favorite local spot, and the Dallas Cowboys are in a playoff game. So. As you can see, a delightful weekend indeed.

I haven't been sleeping well this week, and have been having some unpleasant headaches. I guess all headaches are unpleasant but these are really taking the cake. Maybe it's just my brain crying out for some 8 hours in a row sleep and a Saturday, but I don't really like how it communicates that desire. Not fun at all.

And tv is back this week! Chuck, House, American Idol! Oh my! I kinda forgot how much I love Chuck (and adorable geeks everywhere!). And thanks to American Idol I will never get the song "Pants on the Ground" out of my head. Too much. I'm still awaiting the February 2nd debut of my favoritest show ever, LOST, to come back, but until then, these shows (and Psych later on this month!) will more than suffice.

I type all these light, happy things, but I assure you my heart is still pretty heavy this week. I have a precious friend who has had one of the worst years of her life (don't remind me it's only fifteen days into a new year) and just got some horrible, heartbreaking news yesterday. I wonder how much can one woman handle? I'm comforted only in knowing that God knows the answer to that, and that He holds her in His almighty hands. With all that's going on in the world and in your little worlds too, I would love for you to lift my friend Gina up in prayer. She needs mercy and the comfort of our Savior more than I can say here.

I can't even begin to give justice to writing about the huge, horrible tragedy of Haiti this week. I can't. There aren't words in my vocabulary grave, large or desperate enough to describe it. How can I? I've read people much more eloquent than I fall short in describing their own feelings on the subject. This I can tell you: I'm praying. I'm giving. I'm hoping. And I know it's not enough. But, I also hope that I'm not the only one. Maybe together. Maybe together.

Sorry to end on such a serious note, but isn't that life? Silly and serious. Delightful and horrible, sometimes all on the same day. God bless you all friends. God bless you all.
