Planet Wisdom :)

Planet Wisdom begins tonight here in DFW.
this is my favorite event out of all the events that we do with the youth group.
i went every year that I was in youth group, then since i became a volunteer leader - we've gone (last yr and now this year.)
im very excited.
Last year was an excellent theme - last year it was about the last 14 hours of christs life.


It was extremely informative --- they went into detail about the physical pain that Christ went through when He suffered, and then was put on the cross.

Planet Wisdom is a Youth Conference --- we are taking our youth and Young Adults this year.
since it is for youth,... its tough for kiddos to sit a long time to just sit and listen - so they have rotating acts.. if you will. --- they have a band (Dutton....http://duttonband.com/ they came last year too.) then they have the Skit Guys.. http://skitguys.com/ hilarious.then they have 2 speakers. Mark Matlock ,and this year Guest Speaker is Zach Hunter.

This year the Theme is

A God You Can Know

God is not generic. He has a name, a personality and emotions. Through an in-depth look at God’s specific attributes, we will discover what God is really like and practical ways we can change the world as we become more like Him.

im very excited. .... right now we are down to 5 hours til we leave the church wahooo :) 7 til it starts :)

alrighty time to go get my stuff all together for it :)

injured and cant do anything about it.

here i am again, complaining..... yep. you've seen it on facebook, you may have even recieved a call from me (doubt ful) of me complaining to you, how my back hurts, from my car accident.

i know that there are a ton of other people out there that are dealing with much more tragic stuff, but this thing is bothering me.

looks like another day off for me tomorrow. mixed feelings.

while being off, no money is coming in, which is bad.. of course if i cant hardly lift a pound, much less several pounds, then i think its best for me to stay at home.... and perhaps look for another job...  :/

so people have come to "rescue" me from my house, my boyfriend has come to pick me up 3 out of the 5 days. my parents rescued me yesterday. tomorrow i think im reallly going to keep it easy ....

so I've watched alot of television:

Frasier, will and Grace, NCIS, I love Lucy, Everyone loves Raymond....

Im almost done with my book :

thats about all i've done. ive spent alot of time on the computer, looking at blogs, and homework, and facebook.

spend alot of time on the Heating pad past few days and ice days before that.

of course being down has its perks, but then again, when you want to get things done around the house, you cant, right now moving laundry even hurts me, so i did do a load today, just moved a few clothes at a time,

but not like i can go clean out my closet or get out my big tub and start scrap booking or really even work on a puzzle (prolonged sitting and standing hurt me.) so pretty much just laying down is all i can do, so movies books.... so on...

Tonight I had a breakdown --- just felt useless.....jst like i'm having to depend on people to get me and help me... just frustrating, because i know that these people have a lot of betting things to do than come and pick me up, and entertain me. ....

i have a feeling ill be haivng another doctors visit, after all it was an emergency care center that looked at me. ( he didnt seem too into the fact that I had come in..) but he said it was ligament damage... which lasts awhile.

hopefully soon enough Ill stop with the complaining blogs and get on with my other complaints. tomorrow i think im going to spend another full day on the couch and not go anywhere.

Car accident.... meaning more time on the couch for me.

Had a car accident this week, on Wednesday afternoon on my way home from work. Thank goodness I was paying attention, and I thought quickly. -- well somewhat... but needless to say, i still got injured... nothing bad, strained some ligaments in my back (and I think I had a bit of whiplash in neck) I went to the doc today got some x-rays done... nothing was wrong with that but just ligaments, so im down for the 3 days and cant lift  anything to get the ligaments healed. and strong. so ice and heat and laying down for me next few days.

Of course having this car accident came at an interesting time....
Like i said in my previous post, I am reading a book called "90 minutes in Heaven." -a book which is ad been about a man (Don Piper, the Author) who was in a car  accident, a bad one too... but so i've been reading this book, and I get in a car accident. Someone told me the other day that maybe if I wwas reading a book about how to become a millionare, then that would happen... or if I was reading about "the secret to life" then  id find that secret, but NOOOO i have to be reading about a man who was in a car accident... LOL.

No, I  know that there is a reason for everything, thankfully my car will be ready in just a few days and i will be healed in a few days. the accident could have been alot worse --- but so thankful that it was not. I am also so that I got back under my dads insurance, because otherwise i would be paying alot for the doctor.

anyways --- I think i take life for granted....

Big Coats, Snow Boots and Mittens one week, Short sleeves, shorts and flip flops the next...

Its Texas, what can i say, this week its in the 70's.... perfect weather. :) .... and in February... Punxsutawney Phil  Did NOT see his shadow this year, meaning that spring is well on its way... so that good... im very much dreading the 110Degree heat that will be approaching us here in about 4 months. ugh. 


So im trying to read more... more outside reading besides my textbooks and facebook... 
while i've been reading a book called "blink" By Malcom Gladwell, i had asked for it for christmas, and i did recieve it. :) i read a few chapters, then in the mix of christmas, i somehow have misplaced the book. 


So... Since i cant find the book, my brother mentioned to me that he was reading a good book - "90 minutes in Heaven" by  Don Piper. he told me that he couldnt put it down, so i went to half-price books and i bought it, that way i had it on hand, so i can read it, and if he wants to re-read, he can. im on the 6th chapter ... granted - it has 18 chapters... 205 pages... but still pretty good for someone who isnt really used to reading on a daily basis :) 
so far i really do recommend it. :) 









not much really going on right now  in my life, keeping busy , work, school, churrch stuff.


Im getting excited... this weekend with church we have a concert, David Crowder band will be there. (probably the only band i really want to see there) and then next weekend is a youth conference that we go to (yes, im a volunteer with the youth and still LOVE going :) )  This year we will be having 10 people going... actually same amount that we had last year... minus one. 
in april we will have another concert to go to... once again, only one band i want to see at that one... Mercyme...  im not really thrilled about the concerts like i was last year.... I guess some things just change.

Stuck inside..... might as well clean... i guess

Alrighty - today is number 3 of being stuck inside... kinda literally. --- Iced in... no its not TERRIBLE>..... but the Roads are very icy. i know that the highways are partially clear... (so people say) i havent been out of my house for 2 and 1/2 days.... for the exception of going downstairs to my car real fast on day #1 to get something.  anyways.... So while i've been stuck inside I really havent been productive day#1 i did homework and worked on youth stuff, #2, i played a computer game (Sims3)  So last night as I was talking to my aunt I decided that I was going to be motivated and hang up some pictures, and clean house.

So As im about to "gear up" and do it... I already have the music going... so im getting ready to get to it.

What all needs to be done?? It reallly isnt terrible, but i'd feel better if it were better.

So I need to:

pick up all paperwork and figure out where it needs to go (trash/shred/file)

• pick up living room(dvds/blankets/misc)
• do a load of laundry (fold /hang up ALL laundry)
• Kitchen:: (Put dishes in dishwasher) clean all counters.
• Clean Bathroom.
• make bed
• Vacuum house
• mop kitchen, bathroom,entry way

More in depth stuff that will take longer to get done.... but im determined:

• Closet::  (hang up clothes, put stuff i dont want in bedroom corner (i have a corner as of this morn to put all stuff that needs to go to salv. army) 
• put away random things in bedroom to appropriate places.(boxes, luggage etc)

How long will it take me?

if i put my nose to the grindstone and really really work.... probably 2 hours. maybe 3.

Ok... so here i go im going on a wild tear to see what i can get done... and im determined to get it all done.

:)

Ill post a gain later and show before/after pics.
