Randomishness

  • Offspring.
    Directions: Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
    Applications: Endless. The most obvious is their grubby little spring-is-here-lets-roll-in-the-dirt physical bodies. But it seems, at least to me, to apply to so many other areas. Their roller-coaster emotions. Their mental I'm-10, 8, 6 or 3-and-I've-arrived attitudes. And their curious spiritual beings.
    Indications: I'm tired.
  • I teach a scrapbooking class for high-school students. I shared some family albums with them this week. A few of the girls told me I looked like Catherine Zeta-Jones. Ok. So the pictures were from like 10+ years ago. But I'm gonna hold onto to Catherine for a little while because I coulda' swore that Russell Crowe was looking back at me from my bathroom mirror this morning.
  • Some things I'm thankful for and/or blessed by right at this moment.
    1. A day spent with a friend. We are deepening our friendship and our understanding of God together. We are unalike and very alike. This journey is a little scary but promises to be exciting. It felt like God hugged us today.
    2. The AMAZING, BRILLIANTLY BEAUTIFUL, SUNSHINY DAY!
    3. Oh. And coffee.

You know I've always thought you looked like Catherine Zeta-Jones, too! Maybe I never told you! But you do! Funny you mentioned Russell Crow. My sister thinks Jeff looks like him, especially with the beard now. :) Glad you had a wonderful day with a friend. That can be such a renewing thing! And yes, coffee....mmmmm...having some right now.....with sunshine!

Hurray for spring!

And now that you mention it, I have to agree with the Catherine Zeta-Jones resemblance.

Hi, Jen! Thanks for coming by, I'm glad you enjoyed your visit:)
I loved your post, I often feel random. And I can totally relate to little kiddos loving the spring weather and LOVING the dirt!
Oh--and the coffee, I can definitely relate to that. I'm having a big cup right now as I'm reading.
Have a blessed day!

Yes. and coffee.

It was a very enjoyable day, I am really looking forward to next Thursday.

Am I scary?

Jen @ irrationallove said...

LazyP - Ack! No! "This journey is a little scary..." Mostly because you challenge me. Why am I imagining you with a sly grin as I squirm?

The Lazy Perfectionist said...

LOL!

no. no sly grin. Wide eyes with a cocked brow perhaps.

Just kidding.

I kinda knew what you meant, but wanted to make sure!
