Not Cool. COLD

I spent Christmas in Atlanta, GA; Cordele, GA; and Tallahassee, FL. I came home to these wind chills and 3 days of snow. I LOVE snow, don't get me wrong. But OKAY! I give. I'm cold.

Kreativ Blogger?

I'm not a blogger, in case you haven't figured this out. I rather suck at it (I STILL need to find my dang camera cord - that'll help!).

But Sara, from Little Rhody Girl, bless her heart, gave me a Kreativ Blogger award about two weeks ago. I'm not even enough a part of the blogging community to do this thing justice, but I'll try :)


Here are the Rules for this award:

1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.

• Check! But thanks again, Sara :)
  

2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.

• Check! And it'll link you back to Sara's blog, too.
  

3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.

• Check! In several places.
  

4. Name 7 things about yourself that people may not know.

1. I'm not nearly as mysterious as I pretend to be (which makes this hard!).
2. If I live in a place for more than four years, I get ANTSY.
3. I hate school. Really. I'm a person of action. I don't know why I keep going back.
4. I miss having aminals. They makes the world go 'round.
5. I actually really really love to write. I just don't love to write about myself!
6. I'm totally un-girly. I'm messy and I like sports and beer and beef and loose, comfy clothing and doing dirty, manual labor... And please ignore my gender stereotyping ;-)
7. That being said, I'm a sucker for cute heels and dangly earrings. Such is life.
   

5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.

1. I can't do this... I stink. As far as I know, I'm not close to people who blog with the intent of "blogging."
2. Oh, here we go:
3. Diary of a Cereal Killer
4. Bethgael's Spot
5. K, thnx, that's all, folks!
6. I gonna nominate myself, now, sorta, cuz I a dork:
   
7. Cheap and Easy
   

6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.

• Check! -ish
  

7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they've been nominated.

• Check!

Journalling

Or journaling? I think journalling. Hmmm... My spell-checker doesn't like either of those. But then, it doesn't like "doesn't," either.

John Wesley was a big Journaller/Journaler(or?). He saw it as one of the many roads to Grace; a way in which you could keep track of what you were doing to better yourself and bring yourself closer to God. I didn't know that. Certainly, I've heard of journalling/journaling recommended as a religious practice before but, well, I stinketh at it. Verily.

I'm taking a class on the History of United Methodism, however, and one of our assignments? Fill in a notebook we were given. I'm... A little bit of a slacker. *GASP!* I know, you're shocked. At any rate, I've been reflecting on this (if not journalling/journaling on it). So many current people recommend this method - for losing weight, for keeping track of dates, WHATEVER. Clearly, there's got to be some merit to it, whether it brings you closer to God, or not, right?

I'll fill in that notebook (hey, it's an assignment!). Maybe I'll even start my own personal journal. At the very least, I think I'm going to start keeping up with this site. The daily thoughts of an irreverant seminarian, or something :)
