When I sing in church it really makes me miss the old chorale days. Was it really 4 years ago? Part of me wants to join the choir at church. But part of me loves just singing to God from where I sit. I just miss being part of a regular choir with sections and harmony and practices. It's an idea.

I have had such a nice long weekend. I really am rather spoiled with my work schedule. All that will change come summer if I find a new job. Irk. Around March I plan on sending out some resumes. I won't be able to start a new job until mid June, but hopefully the early bird will get the worm. I'll apply at Liberty, at a few local adoption agencies or family counseling centers, and the lynchburg department of social services. I'm not sure what kind of position I'm looking for but if there's an opening, I'm available.

Sometimes I feel like our kitty is more like a baby. She has bad dreams sometimes where she starts twitching and making funny noises. I just stroke her fur and scratch her ears until she settles down. We have to feed her regularly and clean out her litter box. She cleans herself most of the time, but an occasional bath or brushing is sometimes needed. She likes to be pampered and snuggled. She'll just follow you around meowing until she gets her way. She demands to have your full attention. She's like our little baby. I hope she does well when we have a real baby. She won't get as much attention then. She'll have gotten used to bring the queen of the house. She's once again napping at my feet while I write from my blackberry. I'm fixing to read a new book once I'm done.

I really want to become a runner this year. When it warms up I plan on trying fast walks and light jogs around the neighborhood. Once I get used to jogging again I'll start running and make my runs progressively longer. There's a lot of good neighborhoods for runs around here. I used to run all the time in junior high. In mid high school I stopped running since my sports didn't involve lots of running. One of the moms at the preschool was told by her doctor that she is obsessed with running. I want to be obsessed with running. It might not happen. I get very discouraged every time I try to run outside. I feel self conscious and my throat feels like death. We'll see how far I get on my goals this year. I'm not worried about it either way. I don't have to be a runner. It'd just be kind of fun.

Reading time. Although I feel like I could fall asleep right now. So, goodnight.
