The Prestige!

Ok class...so this summer I discovered that Christian Bale was going to be in a new movie...so I did some fine internet research and found out it was called The Prestige. I've been waiting a long time for this one and tonight a bunch of us went and saw it *granted most of the people reading this would have been there hahaha* I can honestly say that I really really liked this movie. A whole lot. I totally recommend it. The acting was awesome, Christian Bale is a truly gifted actor. The rest of the cast did a fabulous job as well, Michael Cane is classic, Hugh Jackman from wolvarine to this, another versitle actor. Scarlett Johanson was pretty good and I thought the chick that played the Sarah did a great job. Not to mention gullum guy and David Bowie!! Crazy plot line...yeah just sweet all around definatly didn't let me done. True story, I was a little worried because I've been waiting a while for this one.

i forgot what i was going to post.

so it's been over a week so i thought i'd post. but i'm currently sleepy. and want to take a nap. so you get a picture of the freaky parade in california adventure park. i heart pete's dragon.

Today I did the inevitable *thanks dictionary.com*

I took a sick day. I HATE taking sick days, well i like it but i feel like such a wimp ya know?!

But last night I COULD not sleep for the second night in a row, and this moring my soar throat was no longer just a soar throat but a raging beast that had clawed it's way into my sinus passages and caused great amounts of pressure. My body aches and I was WAY to tired to crawl out of bed at 7:20 for my 8 oclock class..i'm sooo glad i didnt'. I kept waking up though achey and such thinking "what about work!?" So at 10 I called it. no worky for me today, i coudlnt' imagine standing for 8 hours behind the cash register consistancly talking to people. so i called in. I hate that feeling, i know they understand but still they are going to be swamped. *Sigh* C'est la vie!

Also guys, Thank you SO much for all your prayers, my life as crazy as it has been for the last while, is good. My Gran is still in hostpital but daily getting better!! Praise God. And my mom said I could borrow her Visa to make my payments for school. So where as life is not easy street right now and i literally feel like i've been hit by a car *i told janny this and she freaked out "you've been hit by a car!!" haha no no jan, figure of speach* , it is good, and our God is good.

Love you all muchly.

...part two...

i share all these things friends not for pity. i share it because this is my life right now. i share them to inspite them and through them praise my God whom loves me and is holy and worthy of my praise. this morning i couldnt' find my keys, and i was late for class. i smiled and laughed with people in the bookstore then i went to make a payment for school. aparantly i owe more than i had led myself to believe and there is no possible way i can pay for it. there is no room on my mastercard for that. so after nearly letting the floodgates open i calmed myself and left the finance office thinking there is a possiblilty the school is going to kick me out. *breath* it will be fine, my mom will help with what she can. keeping in mind my dad has been off of work for two months. the floodgates opened up in pharmasave where i went to see my mom at work. i love her, Thank you LOrd for my mom. my throat is now extremely soar and my head is aching once more. *sigh* a girl can only take so much before the floodgates explode!

...praising under pressure...

...well today was my thanksgiving day celebration. I love thanksgiving. this one on the other hand was incredibly hard. My grandma had surgury last tuesday to remove cancer in her colon. we thought she was ok, then thursday she had a heartattack, then again we thought she was going to be ok. friday a lung collapsed or somehting. then it was going to be ok. THEN Today after church i found out she was not well at all. she had mass amounts of fluid on her lungs, and her heart was not able to get oxeygen to her body. When my mom called she said we should probably come to see her. So, mandy and I prepared everything for dinner and just left it and went to see grandma.. everyone mostly was there...anyways, her doctor told us essentially that the medicine was keeping her alive but that it woudln't work forever, three hours to six days he said. so we came home had dinner, then planned on going back. while at home we got hte call that she was actually doing better and that all her stats were up and such. i took mom in anyways and we stayed for a while, then essentially got kicked out. only one visitor over night. my auntie was gonna stay. *SIGH* it's been a looong hard day. i'm tired. my eyes are stinging. and i have a migraine. alas God is still worthy of praise and I truly am thankful on this day.

the hardest part

when will the two words crack this damed wall .
when will those four words restore peace.
here i sit.
here i wait.
the hardest part.
i've prepared.
or so i think.
will it be two or four.
you couldn't tell me.
neither could she.
there is one who could.
yet for now.
silence.
time will tell.
until then.
here i sit.
here i wait.
the hardest part.
