Noticing how much different life feels when I'm at work and at the casa. Makes sense. Feel like I need to take some aspects of my life less seriously. No sense in getting so stressed out and uncomfortable just because of the people I'm around. It would be nice to let that go.

Simple thought, difficult application.

In other news, I've began reading my bible again recently. Nice.

Go Stars.

Strange how a few little things can make a place feel more like home

Heath and I found an apartment here in Houston that leases month to month and moved in the day before yesterday. It was really nice to begin with, but pretty empty. Just two air mattresses and some office equipment in a 3 bed 2 bath apartment.

Yesterday we bought some towels, rugs, dishes, groceries and other things and spent last night getting everything set up. Don't get me wrong, it is still far from full with no TV, furniture, etc., but this morning I ate some healthy cereal (instead of fast food or donuts), made a lunch (instead of eating chinese, burgers, or pizza for lunch/dinner), used some new toothpaste, new soap, stepped out of the shower onto my new rugs, and put on my new jacket. It just feels better.

They're just things, but what a difference it makes when you feel like you've got somewhere that is yours to go back to at night.

Also, I've been revisiting Dave Matthews band's album Crash. Folks....I've missed it. Two Step, Crash into me, Let you down, Cry Freedom, Say goodbye, Proudest Monkey, and so much more.

And tomorrow say goodbye.........

Gas prices down, bonus chicken on the rise

Some days I feel like I should have just stayed in bed. Not today.....

Today on my way to work I stopped in for gas and filled up........$56 bucks ladies and gentlemen.....$56 bucks.

I rolled out of that gas station feeling pretty good about the day, but little did I know.

Next stop......chick-fil-a.

"I'll have a #1 Chicken biscuit meal with coffee please."

Sweet Chick-fil-a lady, " Thank you, pay at the second window"

I drive through, pay, and get my chicken biscuit, "hashbrowns", and coffee.

But what do you think happened when I opened my "hashbrowns".....oh yeah, that's right......not hashbrowns, but chicken nuggets.....that's right.....bonus chicken nuggets. What a trade up. I mean, don't get me wrong, who doesn't like hashbrowns, but chicken nuggets is definately an upgrade.

So my day has gone, now I'm sitting in the help room and almost no one is here, so I got out my computer and I'm typing up a blog for the first time in a long time.

Who knows. Maybe I'll be home soon.

Maybe I should have gotten up earlier to soak in more of this glorious day.
