Whine whine whine.

It is HOT. It is HUMID. Yuck, blah, pooh.

Of Winter, Spring, Headholes, and Heaven

Ah, spring. Blue skies, green leaves, and the annual injury before baseball season.

I'm all for blue skies and grean leaves, and I hope you won't all shoot me for saying something this "atrocious", but for some reason I have loved winter more this year than in any prior year. I have ALWAYS adored winter, and I think the 2.5 years that I spent living in sunny Florida had some effect on my appreciation for it. I was not built for warm weather. Much less hot weather. Winter hasn't always been my favorite, but snow has always held a certain magic and joy for me. This year, I really appreciated winter. Like I REALLY, really appreciated it. It was just a sweet winter. Missy, if you comment this blog, don't reference this part ok? Hahaha...

Anyway, why am I blogging about winter yet again? Well, I'm uploading a video to youtube and I'm killing time because it takes FOR! EV! ER! to upload. And I had some things to share on winter and spring.

I suppose I'll cease my winter praise. I do so adore winter though...

Spring, once you get past the mud season (depressing...), is quite lovely itself. Now that all the leaves are a decent size and flowering trees are in bloom, everything just looks alive and well. I love the color green. Everything is just about as green as it'll get, so it's purty sick. Spring represents new things, right? Righto! Well as far as NEW things go, my room is now newly arranged and colored [but that's oldish news]. Also, I cut my hair shorter on Friday. Or rather, my mother did. By shorter, I mean SHORTER. I've only had it this short twice before, once in second grade and then in fifth grade. Both of those times, my hair was straight. When I turned 12, my hair turned curly. I kid thee not. So this is an entirely new look for me. I like it now, I was a bit skeptical upon my first meeting with the new me in the bathroom mirror. I definitely like it now though. Though I do prefer having long hair. But this had to be done, I'm cutting out all the brown dye that I poisoned my hair with a few months back so that I can dye it red again. Hooray!! And then I'll grow it out long again because that's how I like it.

Also, I got a new piercing in my ear. I got the cartiledge on my right ear pierced with a barbel which is a 16 gage hole, just a little bigger than a typical earring hole.

Observe.

this picture strikes me as gross. But yeah there's the piercing. magnificent, ain't it?

Now in the midst of all this nonsense, while I was waiting for that picture to upload, my father burst through my bedroom door to tell me that one of the most incredible women of God I've ever been priviledged to know is on her way to heaven right now. She's dying of cancer, and she's about an hour and a half away, so as I type this my dad is speeding down there to try to say goodbye. She apparently requested that he come visit her before she leaves. I wanted to go too, but my dad doesn't know what time he'll be back or how I'll be able to handle watching someone I care about pass out of this feeble life. Hardcore stuff, huh?

What an amazing woman! If I was Jesus, I'd want her home too. I can't wait to see her again. She will have one blinged out crown to cast. I love her so much.

I was going to blog more nonsense but I don't think I can do that right now, I've been shifted into seriousness pretty abruptly.

I'll blog later! Praise God for such a beautiful life.
