A healthy waste of time

Yesterday at 5p, I decided to take a quick nap. I was tired (having been up about 34 hours because of work and school), but I didn’t think I was so tired that I had to set an alarm to get back up.

Woke up 6… thought to myself, “strange… I feel so rested after only sleeping an hour… why is Hannah in her bed? its so early…”

Woke up again at 8… thought to myself, “why is it so light outside? It usually gets dark around 6:30 these days…”

Checked my cell phone and realized it was 8am. Checked my alarm clock. Checked my microwave.

I slept for 15 hours!! Let me tell you… that hasn’t happened for a long time. During breaks I like to get no more than 7 hours of sleep because I want to be awake to enjoy doing nothing with my family. During school I get no more than 7 hours of sleep on a good night. Less to none most of the time.

I feel rested but oddly enough I can’t wait to go to sleep again tonight.

More Loves

**first of all… just to clarify… I don’t think I’ll love star trek for ever… I meant that I will probably always love “dorky” things **

6. The Pink Cloud Joke
I would tell it… but then it won’t be funny when you hear it in person.

7. The exact moment when I realize that an ordinary conversation has become a divine appointment.

8. Sabbath days…
Today is my Sabbath. True… I “worked” today by leading worship at church, but I don’t consider that work. I just finished eating one of my favorite foods (which I randomly found the ingredients for in various places in my kitchen as I cleaned). I’m listening to Joey Ryan and Norah Jones and loving the fall weather.

9. Great outings at work.

10. Even numbers.

A Man Born to be King

I don’t have time to write much because I’m currently writing a critical analysis on it for class. Maybe when my paper is done I’ll post sections. But in the meantime, I highly recommend it. It’s 339 pages which can be a little daunting and it’s written in play form (so appx 90% is dialogue).

22 views?

How did I get 22 views yesterday? I haven’t posted for a few weeks!

Anyways,

While looking at my most recent list, I realized how many phases I go through. I haven’t watched Bones in a few weeks, didn’t enjoy the Renaissance Fair, and haven’t taken my camera out in a while (although she doesn’t do well with cold weather/snow so this is probably for the best). So this list is going to be about things I have always loved and (I think I) will (probably) love for the rest of my life.

1. Prayer
Seeking God is my continual focus. I don’t want to sound “super-spiritual” (because I don’t think I am) but I also don’t really want to apologize for being who I am so I’ll just leave this point at that. Prayer is one of my favorite and most important activities in my life.

2. Piano!
I have had fevers that were broken because I had some time with a piano. Playing is my release and I could play for hours without realizing it.

3. On the dorkier side…
I was raised to be a Star Trek fan. I liked it when it was unpopular, I like it now that it’s popular, and I will keep loving it when it’s unpopular again. I like superhero movies and used to read X-men comic books. I would still choose to watch Dragon Ball or Digimon over almost any other show.

4. Looking at the sky
I have always been fascinated with the sky. I recently found a bunch of pictures I took when I was young on my mom’s old 35mm camera of the sky… in fact the same sky from a hundred different points in my backyard. My main motivation for getting a better camera was so that I could preserve in a picture the sky I was seeing.

5. I have to go to work… which is also something I will probably be doing for the rest of my life. I’ll work on this list more later
