I wonder if you know him?

"I wish I could describe Him to you . . . but He's indescribable. That's my King. He's incomprehensible, He's invincible, and He is irresistible.

I'm coming to tell you this, that the heavens of heavens can't contain Him, let alone some man explain Him. You can't get Him out of your mind. You can't get Him off of your hands. You can't outlive Him and you can't live without Him. The Pharisees couldn't stand Him, but they found out they couldn't stop Him. Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him. The witnesses couldn't get their testimonies to agree about Him. Herod couldn't kill Him. Death couldn't handle Him and the grave couldn't hold Him. That's my King!"

-Dr. S.M. Lockridge

It's that time of the year...

~when it's finally started snowing, and I can't help but feel like it's a personal gift straight from God to me! Pfft, as if I deserve it. Though, doesn't it say that "Every good and perfect gift is from above" (James 1:17)? I'd say that snow can be a good and perfect gift :) (I'm ignoring the fact that it terrifies me to drive in it)

~when people go Christmas shopping out the wazoo. And you work at a very much Christmas-shopped-at location, so everyone and their brother is coming in. Including that guy you used to work with a good 2 years ago, and haven't seen since, and you're not really sure that you were ever even friends or not, so you very immaturely scurry to the back to do dishes instead of just saying hi. And then you cut yourself on the pear cutter, and there's blood everywhere.
Such is my life.

~when time FLIES by!! Goodness gracious, I can't believe Christmas day is almost here. I always want to spend December fully enjoying the Christmas spirit, but the days are going by so quickly and I've been spending so much time at work, that there's not been much Christmas spiriting! But I've got the entire week after Christmas off. That'll be my time for snow, Christmas movies, and such. :)

~Speaking of having all of next week off, in preparation, I've finally started reading the Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers. It's a trilogy, and I know that I'll love it, so I've been putting it off until I have the time to sit and do nothing but read. The time is almost here! And I've started book 1, and it just got interesting. So, I'm going to have to make it through these next two long days of work before I can get too into it!

~back to, "it's that time of year"...when Christmas shopping is too much fun! And since I've actually had a little bit of money this year, I've gone a little crazy. I'm happy though. It's fun doing gifts for those you love and enjoy :) My favorite gift so far though is for my Nana...I'll tell you if you'll keep it a secret!! You see, my Nana is the most passionate Christmas celebrator you'll ever meet. Her house is decorated year round (minus the tree, of course, for obvious reasons), she listens to Christmas music year round, Christmas movies, Christmas lights, Christmas presents being bought in January, everything! She's very into Santa Claus, and one day when I was passing out coupons for Harry and David at the mall, I went into Kirkland's, and I found the most beautiful portrait of Santa that you'd ever see. I had to have it for her. It's about as tall as me, haha! But I cannot wait to give it to her. I just know she'll love it! And it's probably the craziest gift I'll ever give, so it's fun. :)
By the way, speaking of that picture, I have all Mickey Mouse and friends wrapping paper this year. :D :D :D

~when even the grumpiest people have their little moments of joy. And when Christmas cheer makes even Eeyore at work smile :) Win!

~Not to mention, Mom and sister-in-law make Christmas cookies and Lauren gets to eat them all. Mwahahaha! :D

"I love you, I love you, I love youuu!!!"

First off, name that movie. 

Now...

Today, I bought my dog a jacket. It's purple and puffy. She's too long for it...figures. Someday, I shall post a picture of her in it! Because even if it doesn't fit right, it's adorable. :)

You know what I really, really cannot stand? One of my pet peeves? Facebook statuses that are obviously directed towards someone specific who you know the posting person is friends with and will therefore see it; and of course they don't name the person, because they're either scolding them, insulting them, or trying to make them feel guilty ("Oh, I don't know how to live now that he's broken up with me..."). I don't know. It's Facebook. It's not a diary. And it's so elementary school to post statuses like that. Does anyone get me here?
...okay, rant of the day over ;D

Speaking of Facebook, haha!! *cough*

Found this movie for 5 dollars, bought it because I really like Rachel McAdams, and ooooh my goodness.

*sigh*

*double sigh*

I just...I....it was so good. She was great. He was great. The story was a new level of romantic. 

*sigh*

I have to go to bed now. Sleepy. *yawn* Buenas noches, mis amigas.

in which I'm like, a total downer.

(In case you wonder, the pictures in this post have NOTHING to do with what's written. Well, except the one. You'll figure it out.)

~It's impossible for me to live my life without trying to please everyone around me. Of course, that doesn't mean that if you're my friend trying to get me to do something "bad", I'm going to do it to make you happy. Nah. But if you're my friend, and you want me to wear a $200 dress that is anything but flattering on me in your wedding, I just can't say no. Even if I end up in tears over it. Because I want you to be happy.
Every once in a while I wish I were the kind of jerky person who'd be all like "Hellooo, I am NOT a size 2, that dress is not made for me!!!" but no. I accept it. I smile. I mean, who cares, right? I'll just stop eating, and start exercising for the next 5 months, constantly. That way I'm not completely disgusting.
*sigh* One more $200 bridesmaid dress I shall be crying over. I'm so vain sometimes it makes me sick.
Oh gosh. I'm gonna end up like that girl in "27 Dresses" who has 27 ridiculous bridesmaid dresses in her closet, who's pining after a guy who doesn't love her, and who ends up singing "Benny and the Jets" in a bar in the middle of nowhere after her car breaks down. Oh, no, please no!

~I expect too much from everyone around me. I really do. I mean, I give and give and give...why should you give anything in return? You shouldn't. Really. It's too much to ask.

~I love you so, my Harry, and my David. Please, please don't get rid of me once the season's over. I will be devastated. Thus, this little blurb will be the last I think about the possibility of you letting me go. I can hardly bear the thought.

~Rain, rain, rain, rain. Please. Your time has come and gone. It's snow's turn to stop in for a while. So rain, rain, please go away? Come back in a few months?

~Once Upon a Time is absolutely, positively my new favorite show. I don't think there's ever been a show that I waited for week after week like this one. It's just so romantic. *sigh*. Prince Charming is just so...Prince Charming. Brought to life! Be still my heart.

~The dog is creepishly watching me from the landing on the stairs...her eyes are like, staring into my soul...I think this is my cue to go to bed. Good night world. May tomorrow be a brighter, more optimistic day!
