"bind my wandering heart to thee"

i'm sitting here wearing my granny sweater {& pants, of course}, watching titanic & singing {well, rapping} the fresh prince theme song. now that you've been reminded just how cool i am, i'll tell you about my cool life... my... life.  & i keep going on facebook, checking words with friends in hopes that one of my opponents has taken their turn. i get distracted easily... what was i saying? oh, yeah. my day.  so, last night, the dog chewed up audrey's phone. like a lot. this morning she had to go get a new one. whilst she was doing her thing, i went into next {my new favourite store} & tested my ability to resist temptation. i successfully didn't buy a pair of brown cords & a pair of black oxfords. i almost justified both of these. i mean really. pants are always practical. & i don't have any black shoes. but alas, no. it's amazing what not having an income does to you. i left that store in a hurry. then we got starbucks & drove to knutsford to visit audrey's sister, linda. she was babysitting her little grandson, harry. we all took a stroll into town. it is a lovely town. i'll show you.

  

so, that happened. linda's other grandson asked me why i didn't take any pictures of a toy store. maybe next time. & there will be a next time. i saw a frozen yogurt place that will be opening soon. oh, & there's tatton park. one of the uk's most complete historic estates. but we didn't have time to go today. 

i have a lot of time on my hands so i've been doing a lot of braiding lately.
here we have the fishtail braid & whatever those braids up top are called.

i'm doing a little bit of this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right now. that means nerves & excitement. school begins on saturday. where has the time gone? i seriously CANNOT believe it's nearly a month that i've been here. i'm excited. about what i will learn & who i will meet & what God will do in my life. then, i'm nervous. about now knowing anyone & not being liked & feeling alone. prayer would be cool. 'kay thanks, guys.

i will now watch the titanic go down. i'll put money on there being copious amounts of tears. from me. of course... here i go. the music from 'my heart will go on'... i was this close to naming this post after a lyric from that song....

the end.
