Lent Day Four: I Skipped One

Today has been really great. I'm spending the weekend with friends and I've had some great conversations, very little media (I'm not going to inhibit others from media but I don't seek it out). I love how when you turn off the television the conversation has room to come in.

I remember my first summer working at camp, the TV in the SHO (staff hang out) was broken so we talked, we played cards. Then they bought a new bigscreen tv. The movies turned on, the video games were brought in. You walk in on any given night after people have come back from dinner, the lights are off and you can barely make out peoples faces in the flickering light of the screen. No one is talking.

Today I spent the day with my boyfriend, had a burger, walked the dogs, it was a beautiful day outside. Tonight there's bowling. Active and social all in one! I'm really happy with the way things have gone this week but I'm also ready to get back home so I can get to work on my many projects. I also bought some material today to make an apron. I wish I was the kind of girl who made her own clothes and was just fabulous all the time. I think it would be tiring though to always be dressed to the nines. Some days I just want to be wearing jeans and an oversized t-shirt (like I am now). But at least I'm getting started with something. I have a lot of ideas for posts from Bollywood to cooking to thoughts on relationships. I just need some down time to sort them all out. Until then,

Shalom
