weekend eventfulness...and lack thereof

so i had my sleep study on friday.
i was nervous. i got to see ross for about a hour before i left because he had to work late. he is feeling sick and i am concerned for him.

the sleep study ( was...more annoying than anything else. )

they wake you early for these things and that's annoying. you run through the tests again before they unhook you. then i went home, showered, watched some movies with ross and napped. the shower failed to remove the gak from my hair so i was messing with it and combing it out most of the day. my head still itches a lot. it was a good day with ross, but we were both tired. we were supposed to go to a party at oneonajourney's...and i was really sorry to miss it, but ross was feeling ill and has serious tech craziness for the rest of the week.
( love and friendship )

yesterday it rained all day. i decided it was a perfect day to spend at the library. i left while ross was still sleeping and headed over. it was exactly the right thing for me to do. i picked up a biography of abigail adams, a biography of johannes kepler (and his mother who was apparently tried as a witch!), the first sharing knife book by louis mcmaster bujold, the sequal to a chris wooding book i read last winter, and changing plains by ursula leguin. not a bad haul.
i had hoped to have susan over for dinner, but she didn't return my phone calls. so i made tortellini and a wine sauce with fresh garlic, roasted red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes. i chatted with my parents about all kinds of theology. it was lovely.
i found a UNITED METHODIST MONASTARY about an hour from where i live, up near eltanin in st. joseph minnesota. i didn't know there was such a thing. i am very keen to go visit and drag my folks up there the next time they are here. they have a program for oblates. i wonder how impractical it would be for me to become an oblate to a place an hour away... also i found out about a new theologian i want to explore, sister joan chittester, a benedictine nun in erie, pa who practices disobediance as obediance and advocates for catholic conversation about ordination of women. very enticing. i meant to look for one of her books at the library, but i forgot.
today i have my phone interview with progressivefuture. wish me luck.

friday it was 60 out. my daffodils are beginning to come up.
saturday it was in the high 50's.
sunday it rained all day.
today it is snowing.
more snow/rain predicted for the rest of the week. sigh....go figure.

You're The Poisonwood Bible!

by Barbara Kingsolver

Deeply rooted in a religious background, you have since become both
isolated and schizophrenic. You were naively sure that your actions would help people,
but of course they were resistant to your message and ultimately disaster ensued. Since
you can see so many sides of the same issue, you are both wise beyond your years and
tied to worthless perspectives. If you were a type of waffle, it would be
Belgian.

The rules in this game of tag are simple -- once you have been tagged, you must write a blog with ten weird, random things, little known facts or habits about yourself. At the end choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names.

1. i used to wear boxers regularly back when my curves were less defined. i stopped when they got uncomfortable.

2. i was in color guard in high school before i started piping.

3. i met my oldest close friend, illusionstar in sunday school when i was 9...we then proceeded to go investigate wicca together. she stuck with it, i didn't.

4. i have a weird irrational freak-out about free-masonry and other "secret society" type male organizations. i would refuse to date someone on the basis of their participation. it seems to me like they are frats for guys who never grew out of that stage...and i didn't like frat culture when i was in college. mainly i just think it's creepy to be all secret like that.

5. i smoked off and on from age 16-21. now it gives me a stomach/headache.

6. i started more than half the girls in my group of friends in high school streaking. :)

7. i have a hazel birthmark in my left eye.

8. i had a pet chicken for 2 weeks once as part of a science experiment. i carried him around in a KFC bucket.

9. i had a pet pig for a year and a half in middle school. mom and i started a business. we were going to breed pigs. then the county made it illegal to have them (we were grandfathered in) and high vet bills necessitated getting rid of her. i can still mimic a pig perfectly.

10. i have a half brother and half sister who are 20 and 22 years older than i am, respectively.
