over the weekend.

5 activities:
- almost caught my tush on fire. my seat warmers are messed up. when i turned them on, my car started smelling like smoke. eek!
- went to revival. what a great week of getting my toes stepped on and shins kicked by the pastor's awesome sermons.
- watched hard work pay off. my mama has lost 30 pounds! 
- had a dance party in my pajamas while waiting for my coffee in the mcd's drive thru. and people wonder why i'm still single.
- rode along with mama and bubba to perkins. it was just a short trip to pick up some things, but it was fun to talk, laugh, and drink coffee with two people i love.

4 lessons i learned:
- always say thank you, even if the task at hand was menial.
- "a fool vents all his feelings, but a wise man holds them back." proverbs 29:11.
- sometimes a moment needs to be quietly enjoyed and etched in our memory without instagramming, tweeting, or facebooking it.
- people often mistake my lack of talking for quietness. in reality, i'm a very observant person. i tend to notice the oddest things. i love people-watching.

3 things i'm thankful for:
- fall when it actually feels like fall.
- my salvation.
- kitty cuddles.

2 things i'm currently diggin':
- the live penguin cam at seaworld in san diego. three words: OH. MY. GOODNESS. right now, there is a guy walking around with a bucket of fish, feeding them. they're eagerly waddling up to him, and it's the most precious thing ever. i'd quit my job for two reasons: (1) to open my own coffee shop. (2) to walk around with a bucket of fishies and feed penguins.
- i can't even think of anything else because i'm too busy looking at adorable penguins waddle around.

1 quote from something i read:

"in the garden, we substituted ourselves for God. on the cross, God substituted himself for us."
