"Do you need a man in your life?"

So I stopped at the gas station on my way home to fill up. The guy at the pump next to mine smiles at me from across the way, asks how I'm doing tonight and then asks " So, do you need a man in your life?" Ha. Do I ever! I figure it is either painfully obvious that I'm lacking in that department, or he thought I was hot stuff. Obviously the latter is the truer of the two. Did I respond in the affirmative you ask? Well he was of the older and slightly creepy variety so I respectfully declined. But it definitely made my night.

As for other fantastic happenings in the life that is mine, I am house sitting for only one more week. Then I can fully move in to my apartment! I'm working on a list of goals, one of which is to make a real home cooked meal for my roommates once a week. I feel like I need to be more domestic, that and if I want to eventually have meals as a family, I should start learning how to prepare them. Thing is, its super hard to cook for one. So I'll start with 4. We'll see how it goes. Another lofty goal I have is to use the available fitness room. I'm going for 3 times a week. And there, since I wrote it down, I will be held accountable.

One last thought before I head to the land of dreams (or in my case deep sleep where I may or may not be dreaming, but definitely don't remember any by the time I am jerked into half consciousness by the dog who needs to pee at 3:30 or by my alarm at 5:30, both of which are disgusting hours to be awake), wow how's this for a long sentence? Anyway, I work with a bunch of dudes... Henry, Roy, Ram, Robert, and Art or Kook, and my supervisor Shawn. I have a great appreciation for these guys. They keep me laughing all day and every day. We mostly joke around, but in the joking we talk about life a little, and we've had some good serious conversations. I love being "a peculiar people". I know that we are supposed to stand out, to be different, and not be afraid of that. I am so grateful for what the gospel teaches, that none of us are perfect now, but we are all working at it, therefore we can't judge, rather we've got to love, see the potential in others, treat 'em like the Sons and Daughters of God that they are. It feels so good to be a part of that. Hmmm not sure if any of that made sense, but I'm grateful to be where I am.
