been fighting a sore throat the last two days… it’s all gross-sinus-drainage related and i think it’s on the upswing of getting better (thank you, tylenol allergy/sore throat medication!). worked and came home … and managed to crash for four hours straight. man oh man… i sure needed that. plans for tomorrow include going to my brother’s cosmetology school and letting him practice doing stuff on me, going shopping for clothes, and dinner with pam. plans for sunday include church in the morning and then joshua’s first birthday party in the afternoon. should be a nice weekend.

jeromy takes his concealed handgun license class tomorrow with daddy and hambone. all three of them cooped up in a class for eight hours spells trouble. heh.

i’ve been down this week. not totally depressed by any means… but just battling some internal issues. i’ve been seeing nothing but mandy flaws lately and it’s been discouraging. i don’t want to become a person that i’m not and it sometimes feels like an uphill battle when certain events are all clumped together. but then i remember that some of the people god utilized most in the scriptures were some of the most unlikely characters that were anything but perfect. and that alone gives me hope that maybe this is just an interim and learning experience to take me to the next level (assuming i do my part to grow).

jeromy’s been having tons of migraines and headaches lately. i knew it was bad when he told me that he made a doctor’s appointment (something that is usually never done). he went to the doc today and got some medicine that should hopefully help the poor guy out.

i’m going to san angelo in a couple of weekends… jeromy’s coming, too. it’s for a wedding we’re shooting (for an old friend of mine, actually) that should be tons of fun. i’m also looking forward to just getting away and being on an open road and stuff. when jeromy and i started dating, we would pile up in his truck and just drive. we had many awesome conversations in that truck and we’d go all over the metroplex on any given night. the new car is going to get broken in soon…
