a 110% day

well, it feels like it to me, anyways. i feel 'amped'... so maybe instead of functioning at about 40% i'm running at 80% today? anyways, much more energy and oompha than i usually have. wish it would stay this way.... *pouts*

anyways, here's some things about today:
  • i fed my starter for amish friendship bread today, i'm so excited about it!!!! but i used demerera sugar instead of white sugar, i hope it turns out as yummy as it looks, the batter looks like chocolate milk! :D i want to take a cue from carol w. and name my starter.... i'll have to come up with something cool.... any ideas for a name for a runny glop of starter dough? lol
  • i went to a cooking class, cooked a chicken stew - which i think has healed me of my automatic *cringe* reaction when i think of the *s* word.... stew *is* a 4 letter word, you know... but this stew was REAL yummy, and not like the stews that turned me off stews forEVA, if you know what i mean..... i think the fact that it was *not* a beef stew was a big plus....
  • i talked with my rec worker today and we discussed doing some gardening for the warm months as our recreation project... so in the coming weeks, i should have some planters on my deck.... spinach, green onion, basil, chives, and cherry tomatoes were a few of the items we talked about.... whee!!!! i'm going to have a peek on payday at the patio sized greenhouse shelving units.... maybe there will be something on sale i could afford.....
  • i did something totally hairbrained today.... i was yakkin' on the phone with a friend, and i randomly noticed how long the hairs were on my legs, and without conscious thought, i picked up some nearby scissors and starting clipping away.... it wasn't long before i snipped a V into my leg, ouch.... not very big, but it bruised immediately, and the scissors were probably not very clean *sighs* WHERE WAS MY BRAIN?!? lol..... i put some peroxide and a bandaid on, so hopefully it will heal just fine....
  • i am on the hunt for a CAST IRON STOCK POT or CAST IRON DUTCH OVEN..... anybody want to toss their heavy anchor my way?.... i can't afford much, but i am totally willing to pay.... but a diamond crusted one would be a *tad* out of my league.....
  • maybe this is why i've got energy today... i've had two strong cups of coffee, where i haven't been drinking too much of it lately... two LARGE cups, with 3 teaspoons of instant coffee in each.... what can i say, i like my coffee potent!!!!! lol (and with a lot of milk... and demerera sugar, no white *&#^ for me!!!!)
  • i think i use lol FAR too often.... i should try the smileys for a change, eh? :D :D :D

Outcast, Adopted.

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
