we had a wonderful time in fresno with dad edwards this weekend.
i was immersed in cs lewis a few times, who i realize is one of my favorite writers.
every time i read even a quote of his, a feeling comes over me--like listening to a familiar song or a new song from a familiar band... and it's even better to hear dad talking so fluently about him, as if he knows lewis as a personal friend. it was fun to see dad functioning in his gift and passion at his talk at borders and at the church the next day.

i think i'm going to start my birthday/christmas list with some lewis books, actually:
-letters to children
-mere christianity
-surprised by joy

man! i am craving either sushi or wahoo's rice. matt's not home yet, so i guess i'll wait for him (and his vote will be for wahoo's, i'm sure!). either way, i don't think i'm making anything because we have no food in our house! i need to go shopping. i wish i could have been at your tmnt pizza party, justin. yum.

this is going to be a rough week at work (especially friday), so if you think about it, please pray for me.

thanks to mary, i've broken my rule of "no celebrating christmas until november 1st". she just sent me a cd of nat king cole's christmas songs. so naturally i HAD to listen to it to make sure that it worked, and darned if i wasn't listening to the whole thing. twice. and i'm listening to it now. i'm not going hardcore celebrating until a week from now, though. but once halloween is over, i'm all over it!!! i also have a rule of "no setting up the christmas tree until the day after thanksgiving". why these rules, you may ask? because i am out of control!!! and i love christmas so much that i get all christmasy-head all season, and it truthfully drives matt a little bit nuts. i don't think my rules are unfair to either of us!!! heehee!

well, i have to eat a snack, i am ravenous. too ravenous to continue writing, that is!

have a great week everyone!
