Birthday List 2010

• Laundry Basket-A plastic one from Walmart that has a pull out handle and wheels. A gift card would be best for this because then i could make sure it's the one I want plus it woul dbe easy for me to pick up.
• Target Gift Card- Who doesn't need a target card? I want a number of organizing things for next year. There are also just odds and ends that I could use a card for.
• Money- Here is a list of some of the things I would like to get with some money:

Rainbow Flip Flops-Outlet store in Southern California

Books-For the next semester

Odds and Ends- Random things that come up

• Starbucks Black Card- I would like to go to starbucks and being a poor college student it is hard. It would be nice to have a discount card and some money going toward it.

These are the main things I either want or need. It would be great to get them for my birthday! Thanks!

Say (All I Need)

Do you know where your heart is?

Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing's turned out how you wanted

Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You're doing your best and
Your best look
You're praying that you make it

Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it (Better than you had it)

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you know where the end is
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say it

Alternate Reality

Got pulled over today and two officers walked up on either side of my car. Freaked me out, then the male one asked me(after he asked for my registration and such) if I had weed in the car. Really. That's would happen to me. It's cause i got red hair. BUT reguardless of this mishap, I didn't get a ticket and had a great time with my ladies from Mosaic Whittier!

Tonight we learned about our reality. As Christians what our reality would look like and what out reality looks like without Christ. It was a great night to see old friends and to really enjoy fellowship with other women.

We had a time of music and the played an acoustic version of Lady Gaga's, "Poker Face." I got real excited and loved it. I love acoustic versions of really cool songs. It gives the song a whole new feel.

Great thoughts from our speaker.

Adjust my perception

Life As You Live It

-Christa McKirland

This night was full of many thoughts that I need to consider and I will be posting more thoughts on life and how I'm living it.

Facilities Services

This Summer I have been given the pleasure, the opportunity to work in Facilities Services. Basically I'm on cleaning crew. I was able to get this job working 20 hours a week and my schedule is very flexible in the sense that I can take 2 weeks off for camp. This is great but the time that I have to work is a bit of a struggle. I work the 5AM TO 9AM shift. Wow I know but I am making it through.

On the Facilities Services staff I am given keys that allow to go to many different offices buildings. It's great. Today for instance my location was switched. I was able to clean the library. We cleaned at 6AM so people were not there and I was quite daring. I yelled at the top of my lounges just to say that I have yelled in the library and not gotten in trouble.

The second thing that I did was play a little baseball. We made a makeshift bat out of out feather duster and made the ball out of our used plastic gloves. Don't worry everyone this was done after we had finished cleaning everything possible. It was a time to bond with my cleaning friends and enjoy the great old game that I know and love as baseball.

Gotta love a job that allows you to have fun and work hard!

Day in the Life.

I haven't been updating this thing because my life has become a little crazy. But I am finally figuring out what my schedule looks like on a normal day. Here it is.

4:00 AM Wake-Up

5:00 AM Be at work.

9:00 AM Get off work

9:15AM Go Home and Eat

10:00 AM Take a nap

1:00 PM Wake Up From nap

Then on I am basically doing random schananagans. Wether it be going to work at Bethany or hanging with friends or cleaning. That is my current life. It's odd but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.

Today my schedule changes a bit though. I have gotten another job cleaning a home right near Biola. It's a couple that lives there with 3 graduate students. It's a lot of work but only 1 time a week. very manageable. So after finishing cleaning there place I got back to my place at about 1pm. Then I preceded to take a nap and it was great.

This though is what i concluded about my nap today:

Took a nap. RESUlTS: I didn't turn the volume on my phone on so my alarm didn't go off so i didn't wake up for 2 hours. I also had the most realistic dream and slept through my plan to get stuff done. Naps and I have a love hate relationship. Mostly Love though.

That's just a little bit about what is going on in my life right now. All to say God is good and he is taking care of me!
