"On the weekends
We try to get our share
Of excitement and of fresh air
Trying to forget
Who we’re gonna be
When the alarm rings
On monday morning"
i stayed in bed for such a long time today, just because i knew i could, and so i should. obviously, this does not apply to all things by any means. but bed on saturday--most certainly. except i didn't particularly enjoy it. i wanted to go walking or to the park in oxford (which is moot since i am, in fact, not in oxford). i wanted to vacuum my room or write in my journal. but i just laid there like a limp towel. not damp. just limp. i finally went to the baseball game at five. but we lost. and i left early anyhow. to have lunch with my sister. and her best friend. and try to honestly inform them about club and pledging without making myself look like a mindless fool for participating.
junior class sing song is going to be a humiliation. it's almost funny. but not quite. i cannot believe i am participating in it. but every now and then i actually have slight twinges of a commitment conscience. or maybe its a complex.
every now and then.
and i love boys clothes. especially jeans. i love a great friend with a truly great boyfriend. i love college baseball games and the walk music for each player. i love salads with eggs in them. i love new episodes of show i like online. i love shoes. i love the amazing valentines package from my mom. it's just so delightfully wonderful. i love pooh bear slippers on sale for my sing song director. because honeybees love honey. but so does pooh.
this weekend will probably end as a disappointment. but i finally stayed in town for it. the first weekend this semester. and i think i'll make it through. i'll get out of bed sooner tomorrow. i'll appreciate a good sunday. i'll soak up some christ. and i'll probably crave sugar while i do so.
lent. lend me your ear. lend me a dollar. lend me a free perfect weekend.
"If in the evening
All you do is watch TV
Cause your too tired for anything else
You’re just like me
Just remember
As you struggle through the day
Relief awaits you
Friday’s not that far away..."

I read this after having talked to you a bit about the weekend and having written my blog. Funny that we both wrote about the 'humiliation' of junior class Sing Song. I enjoyed your blog and loved the title. You're so good at that! The journalist in you. I had the thought last week that you remind me of my daddy in several ways. The writing is definitely one of them.
I still think you should 'embrace the horror' and MAKE it fun! Use your 'Joyful Sound face' and go all out making it funny. If you have to be in middle of the front, make it work!
So, did you get the slippers for your director or are they something she's wearing for the show?
I love you and blogged for you this morning when I should have been doing something else. At least I cleaned the kitchen first and put a load of laundry on ... well, back on. I think it's gone through the wash 3 times because I keep forgetting about it!
I hope you were able to 'soak up some Christ' Sunday at Hope and get rejuvenated for this week. I still don't understand why you are observing Lent. That might make an interesting blog.
Love you loads!
