woops. 2/5 isn't the greatest way to start off lent. hmm. guess i can only go up from here, right?? (:

it's not like i wasn't thinking of things to write about the last few days - you can even ask bethany. i mentioned like 6 times that i needed to blog before i went to bed, but that didn't happen. had a few long days, intertwined with a lot of plans, and a lot of nothing, which i desperately need. i have thought all day the last 3 days about what i want to write about, so i'm halfway there, right?

1. i am very thankful for flexibility. flexibility in being able to adjust plans, in being able to understand where people are coming from, and even the physical meaning of flexible.  the last couple days have been a whirlwind of changes of plans. i intended to leave work at 4 on friday, come home and do laundry, catch up on my shows, watch a movie, and go to bed around 8. i was SO excited and looking forward to it from like wednesday when i thought of this wonderful idea. then i was reminded of the show my friend's band was in, so bethany and i went to see it at 7 on friday. then we went to a bar for a few hours, enjoyed some food, drinks, giant jenga, and my favorite - laughs. quite a few of them. that's what makes it all worth it. around 11 i decided i'd had enough, as i'd been up since 4am, and pushing out my bedtime from 8 to midnight was going to make me cranky the next day, but i was so thankful for the luxury of being able to make that decision myself. i don't have my own family to come home for at a certain time, a dog to let out; i can come and go as i please. so i do (:

2. i'm thankful for pinterest. now, hear me out for more than the superficial 20-something girl being obsessed (although, most days that's how i feel). i have not been gifted with a great memory, and i feel like that's a huge benefit of pinterest. i once read an ecard about how if you really want to screw up a woman's life, you delete her account. that really made me think one day, and yeah. i'd be pissed if it was deleted, because i have come across all these great ideas other people have had and wanted to share with the world! i think it's such a great concept! i even have my face on pinterest with jonathan & drew scott, if you're looking for it. (: pretty much famous over here. 

3. yikes, and here i go back on word for the night. i am so tired and so committed to my word that i have napped for a while recently, but no more! i need to sleep, so i will finish the other 2. thanks!
