Enjoying a movie right now 
earlier today I was at a block party, and after that we hung out and played games with some people staying at our church for a conference. I can honestly say today was a VERY good day for me. I even recorded my church/block party adventures so I might be putting that up on YouTube so keep an eye out.

Those who have seen me in chat have seen part of this as a blurred background. My cousin did the painting and had no idea that I had a painting of his, so he wanted me to take a pic for him since he didn't remember painting it from the description I gave. He's semi-famous in some art circles for impressionistic California landscapes. Upon receiving the pic he said "Oh, that's from my minimalist Dr. Seuss period."
Anyway - at the piano bench is my cat, Marty. If I had been thinking of anything other than the painting when I took the pic, I would have uncluttered the junk on the left side of the piano - and placed something much more difficult than MacDowell's "Woodland Sketches" right in the middle - maybe a Chopin Impromptu or something else I can't play yet.
But hey - it's one of the prettier parts of my living room.

...last night, I found the photo from when I dropped in on you three years ago.
It's pretty blurry. But it's us. Shall I post?
OH yuck. Just as I predicted. One of my supplements is giving me nausea (it's given me nausea in the past, but I wanted to try it again since I do need what's in ti)... And it won't let me sleep. Thankfully when I saw my doc today I asked him about whether if it gave me nausea or not on what I should do. SO I have a few different solutions, including a supplement that's similar but won't irritate my stomach as much. But for now...urgh. Yuck.

I think...I think God wants me to pray for my father-in-law.
*sigh*
A few of you might remember how bad that particular relationship is/has been...well, it's improved some, but I still struggle with really disliking him and assuming the worst about his motives. Basically whenever he says anything, I automatically think he's lying or hiding something or being a hypocrite. It's awful and I try not to do this.
Anyway- he and his wife moved to a different town in February, started new jobs, all that. He still keeps his house next door to us though, and they stay there some weekends. Last night, he was over for pizza and beer, and ended up sitting and talking with us for several hours.
And every time he shared something, whether about his struggles, his homesickness, his past, his future...I could feel the Lord tugging at my heart, urging me to set aside my grudge and pray for this man. So I Did pray, short, private prayers when he and my husband were busy talking.
The amazing part of this...by the time he left our house, I was able to see past the arrogance and pride that is the first thing a lot of people notice. I dunno. I saw a broken man, who believes in a mean and spiteful God, who can't figure out why God is "punishing" him. I saw a man who is desperate for answers and hope.
God softened my heart. I won't claim to know the whole purpose behind Him prompting me to pray for my father-in-law, or what His plans are, but it's very...humbling, and...an honor, I think...to have the Lord see both my struggles with showing love and kindness to this man, and his need for prayer, and for Him to give me this opportunity. I don't know if I'm explaining it right. But I know God is doing something big in my heart.
