This Very Season

Love is all a r o u n d.

Christmas time a b o u n d s.

In you, will His works be f o u n d?

...The End.

SNOW

do you think it's possible for one's eyelashes to freeze and break off
whilst spending @least 20 transportation minutes by foot in THESE CONDITIONS?

(i've been wondering...)

Documentation

i didn't tag this kewl foto.

if you know me, you know how hard it was to type those last two words in that last sentence.

but the b-girl sent this to me to kick-start my tgiving break.

Delightful.

Both her and this photo.

These things, I will take with me from my [much needed] Thanksgiving Break:

PUMICE STONE

oh how ye helped me clean that blessed oven.

it sparkles with all its might, thanks to your stubborn surface.

SISTER TIME

non-stop party.

complete with the best cooking in p-town.

WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING

@theYoung household, thanksgiving day.

LAVA MONSTER

my new-old favourite game, played post-thanksgiving feast.

lava is real you know.

BYU beats UTAH in OT.

splendid seat [merci, klh].
rachel and christine, two kind girls.
exciting win.

i'm thankful for this break.

it has reminded me that as independent as I can be, and as much as I enjoy my alone-time, i REALLY, REALLY like people. Those relationships with my friends and family are what matter most.

I was eating an In-n-Out burger/fries/choc. shake this day for the 1st time from the new Orem location and it tasted GOOD. I mean, that place is delightful and it only took me 20 minutes to get through (compared to the normal hour or more wait, that was legit). While eating there was a positive experience, it lacked the qualifying element of friend/family member to count it as a truly memorable/meaningful experience. Think about it. What are your most cherished and happy memories from your very life? Why do most people love and look forward with an almost incontainable enthusiasm to the holidays? Strip away the music, lights, shopping, and food [cookies] and what will you find?

RELATIONSHIPS and SERVICE and CHARITY at the core.

We are meant to lift and be with each other.

So, if you haven't gotten my drift, what i'm really saying is that I am most thankful for YOU. The 5 or 6 people who comment on this blog.

okay, just kidding.

i'm talkin bout everyone yo, readers/commenters/non-readers/family/friends ALIKE.

word.

and it's those kind of relationships that bring lasting happiness and meaning to the mundane and even exciting events of life.

Now, everyone build a fort and kiss someone you love. The end.

Also...let the holidays, [and prep for finals week], BEGIN!

oh you know...

hi.

this is a 30 sec. blog post b e c a u s e i'm busy.

a link to my dear friend/colleague's non-book-report on a book we just finished reading in the blessed Wednesday Night Book Club. It's called "Olive Kitteridge" and it was a delight to read.
Her review is spot-on(not off).

also, i would just like to take this moment and say HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THIS BREAK.
it is much needed, needed much...
MUCH.
NEEDED.
[if you've seen the recent SNL skit w/taylor swift on "The View," that joke was especially for YOU]

oh research papers, how i lo(ath)ve(?) you.
I think it's only right to end this handsticker w/a little
SHALOM.

hahaha [aka: "lol"]

SAFETY

Is someone being eaten alive
by an animal
right now?
You know,
somewhere in the world?
Every thirty seconds or something?
Can we get some figures on this issue
And what the top animals are to avoid?
