windows-down-day

today was a windows down day! i couldn't believe it. here it is, the beginning of february and there is snow on the ground and it's the right kind of temperature to drive with the windows down. i loved it. at first i thought, maybe i was a crazy person to be driving with my windows down (i kinda liked that idea!) but then i saw other people with windows down (most not all the way like mine but still significant for february). i even saw a convertible top down. interestingly enough, their windows were up. i am sure many pedestrians and fellow windows-downers were blessed with my pleasantly loud sing-along to the wow worship cd. yes, i was having a little praise session on my way back to campus from work.

i love windows down days
not too hot
not too cold
just right for living

ha! that's a poem i wrote way back when that i kept thinking of today. eh, a little cheesy but still an appropriate sentiment.

well, after my many hours at work today at both of my jobs, i went to dinner with larissa and nicole. unfortunately, the restaurant was busier than anticipated so we ended up missing the movie that we were trying to catch. have no fear ... we improvised by going to hamilton to have dessert for an hour and a half (hey, nicole g. i shared about the fat kid handbook and how fat kids schedule an hour and a half for dessert. it was glorious!). can't get much better than a huge warm cookie with ice cream, a huge warm brownie with ice cream, a yummy mixed drink, lots of laughter and some good theological conversation. i even got to talk about my beloved john wesley. ahhhhh. then, we went to the movie 'the wedding date'. don't waste your time on it. usually if a movie isn't so good, i'll say it was okay. this wasn't even okay. it was fair to poor. no worries though. a poor movie was not enough to put a damper on a pretty darn fun evening. larissa and nicole are hilarious!

p.s. this is the first day in over a week that i haven't had a headache or felt sick to my stomach! (well, my tummy felt a little funny after having a large dinner and then sharing two huge desserts . . . but to misquote larissa: a little gluttony never hurt anyone. it pushes us to our limits.)
