i don't know what to say, truthfully. so far, my 2013 is going well, even though i'm 6 days into it. one of my grandma's friends (who treats my sister and i as though we were her own grandchildren) sent me a book of encouragements that are meant to be read everyday of the year. and remarkably, i read them at just the right moment in time, because they all have something to do with the day that i am having. it's strange and it's amazing and i am thankful for the people that God's planted in my life to help me stay steady while a lot of people are trying to rip my sails, so to speak. so honestly, i've cried in these first 6 days. they haven't been perfect. but i just keep remembering that every step i take is getting me closer to my ultimate goal, and that is enough to keep me stepping. 

today is sunday, a lazy sunday. we stayed late after church and talked to friends and i made several (failed) attempts to find someone to go see les mis with today. i think i'm going to watch it next weekend. we had pizza for dinner and everyone in my house is alarmed at the amount of pizza my sister is capable of eating (she almost had 4 pieces). downton abbey and the biggest loser are premiering tonight, and so mommy and i will frantically be switching channels to see who the dowager countless of grantham insults next and who will become the object of jillian's eye (Lord help them). i have an abundance of various teas from lovely friends (thank you, eve) and am looking forward to making my transition into a full-fledged Brit. i'm finding myself develop a crush on one of the blue men (more on that later) and am doing my absolute best to remember everything that happened while i was volunteering for blue man group this past new year's eve/day (don't worry, i still love tom). also, i find that every male i tend to fall for is british and i am so okay with that. but all in all, i'm just glad that my creative area smells like cupcakes. 

i am very good at being random.
