Once Again

So I forgot that Thursday rolled around and I was supposed to be writing my five random things. Instead I wrote my rant. But then I remembered...just like I did last Saturday. So here are five random things for the week.

1. I feel sort of guilty. I watched Easy A, and I liked it. I actually really liked it. I think mostly because of Emma Stone, who is amazing. And then of course there is that connection to The Scarlet Letter. We often assume things about others without really knowing the facts. It was clever and funny. And the language was inappropriate and the content, was, well, over the top. Justification, I know. But I liked it.

2. I feel like I am sabotaging my life some times, especially when it comes to my weight. Lately I feel like that old lady who has fallen down and can't get up. Only, for me it's like, "Help! I'm eating and I can't stop!"

3. I've been watching too many movies and playing too many games on my phone. Is this post starting to sound more like "five things I'm confessing" rather than five random things? But anyway, I have. It might be more of that self sabotaging stuff.

4. I love driving. I remember in Vegas that I hated it. I hated it because it was that looooong drive across the valley. Only really, sometimes I think I loved it because of all that time in the car to think. But now, it just means something new. Like freedom. I can't wait to have a car again.

5. I'm really grateful for the story of Moses and the Israelites. This week has been rough. But that reminder that they were led out of the wilderness was just what I needed to believe that things are going to get better. Even the Old Testament can surprise you, what with all those genealogies and smitings and laws and lists. I read it over my third year in law school and I admit, I'm not sure I really gave it a good going over. But this time, I'm seeing more evidence that God is in the details.

Well, so that is my random list for the week. Happy Saturday!!!
