so after having some kinda sad posts previously, this one is completely devoted to me praising myself. :)
Now I'm not done yet, but I'm through Luxembourg (which was roughly two months into the trip) in my scrapbooking which means I have Barcelona, the few things from Zurich, Salzburg, I wish I had more things for Budapest, but I don't :/, the concert and Bruges, and then the christmas stuff. not too shabby! I think one more day of aloneness and I can get it knocked out!!
Whilst I've been doing this I have been watching movies. I recently got Netflix (yes I know I said I was going to get it as soon as I got home... oh well). I've only gotten one dvd in the mail (My Sister's Keeper, which was totally depressing, can't decide if it was better than the book or not), but I've been watching numerous ones online. I think today alone I watched Paper Heart (SOOOO wonderful), Lost in Austen (which was super long, but then I realized it was a mini series but good!), Outsourced, Rachel Getting Married, Sunshine Cleaning, Smart People, started the Wackness, but it was sooo horrible I turned it off, and I hate to say it, but I watched Brokeback Mountain. Pretty gross. But I kinda just felt like it was one of those movies you have to watch ya know? Then I topped it all of with SNL Commercial Parodies. Those definitely never get old. Favorite is still Mom Jeans. :)
So I was all proud of myself for getting through a lot, and then I looked at Facebook and saw that my friend Bethany tagged me in 29 pictures. 29 pictures!? Wow, she must have put up the album of the many faces of me. So I look. And I laugh. And laugh some more. And then I cry because I'm laughing so hard. I may be all kinds of ugly in those pictures but I never cease being able to make myself laugh. And I feel like that is maybe the most wonderful blessing of all.
Thank you Lord for the snow day and the reasonable reason for staying in today. Thank you for my friends and the vast amount of fun I have with them. Thank you for giving me humor and joy and creativity. Thank you for letting me excel at things I love to do. Thank you for keeping me strong and for family and friends who have my back no matter what. Thank you for always forgiving and loving me no matter how silly or stupid I get.
Amen.
Have a great January 8th. There are about 4 billion people I know with this birthday, including Elvis. ;)
woooo it is time for me to go to bed!!

Well, the thing about the scrapbook reminds that I need to finish my christmas decoration one so my mom and grandmother won't have to think about where to put them next year, so thanks for that. :) And amen to the snow and thanks to God!
Maybe I'll See you at school.
