So Sar, one of my favorite bloggers, hosts Thursday Thoughts every Thursday. And some Thursdays I don't get to it, which makes me sad. But today, I am on it!

I've had such a productive morning at my internship. Minus this little break I'm taking to blog. But seriously-I've been redoing the filing system this morning. And I don't mean just putting things into a differnt file cabinet. I mean reorganizing files, file folders, hanging folders, etc. It's quite the task BUT I love it. Because I'm an organizing nerd. Professional organizer-if I knew how to become one and get paid, I'd be all over that!

Last night was the Ash Wednesday service with my church and two others in the community. I love the time of Lent. Unlike Advent, which I love because my birthday and Christmas are all lumped in that time, I love Lent because I find such spiritual meaning in it. I cherish Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday services. They are truly some of my favorite in the year for their reverance. And last nights service was great-minus the part where the pastor referred to God as a sugar daddy. No joke. But receiving the ashes was really powerful, especially since my pastor was in charge of it.

As far as Lent is concerned, I have given something up every year. Some years, I give up multiple things. Other years, I give up something and try to do something. So this year, I gave up Starbucks (because it is something that affects my finances which I want to work on). I am going to floss for every day of Lent and I'm going to pray every day of Lent. I'm not a very consistent prayer so this will be a good spiritual practice. I believe in doing these practices to connect you more with God, not just to test yourself. Not the point.

I went out for my roomates birthday on Tuesday. We went to this great Irish Pub that I frequent and she's never eaten at! And this is what I got...
[That is a side salad, a hard tea, and an entire plate of Irish nachos...which are really sliced potatoes-loaded with pulled pork, cheese, tomatoes, scallions, with ranch/sour cream sides!] And no I didn't eat all of the nachos...more like a 1/4 of what there was. But they are the best!

I'm a bad blogger and STILL haven't answered the tagged questions that Sar (originator of this link-up) gave me over a month ago. Shakes head in shame.

I get to see my sweet welder tonight. I love Thursdays when they involve him. It is almost like it's a Friday. I only have 4 hours of work on Friday anyway. So we'll just call it pseudo-Friday.

Happy Thursday all you lovely ones! <3
No shame for not answering the questions, I just wanted to know more about you! ;)
ReplyDeleteYay for giving up Starbucks (you're a stronger woman than me), and taking up flossing! I love the way my teeth feel after I floss, so it's been a glorious January and February for me.
Also, ditto on the professional organizing thing! It's one of my favorite things to do. I want to buy a Cricut and get a shopping spree at The Container Store and then my life will be complete. Have you seen http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com? Enjoy!
PS: Your blog made me captcha, just FYI.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh and I completely misread a comment and I thought was from you so this would have made sense; so sorry for accidentally berating you! Captcha all you please.
DeleteIrish food...YUM!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with giving up Starbucks :) Great idea!!! God is so good - He deserves it!
Hope you had a fun night with your beau and a fantastic weekend! ox
