honey bunches of oats

Hi women!
There's a trail that goes through the woods in my backyard (well, a series of trails-my backyard is connected to an arboretum) and goes across streams and through grassy areas, and under trees. It is really pretty. It was a big part of my, and my brother's and my neighbors' childhoods. I lost it for awhile. Nick and I went through it this weekend, which is good, considering the most exercise-like thing I'd done in awhile involved trying to find my cell phone which was hidden in the last place you'd think to look (my purse...). Needless to say, the workout was good, the beauty was exciting! I think it would be great if we could all walk along that trail sometime together and just have a fun little time. Perhaps later in the fall? Should be pretty with the leaves changing.

THAT was just a sidenote.

MORE IMPORTANTLY:
It's so great to hear from everyone! I love you ladies! Joy, thanks for all of your encouragment! I can't wait to hear about your job! I hope it is super and full of ways for you to put your skills to work! Amanda and Joy: Book club idea sounds awesome! I think a great first book would be the study of Human Anatomy, volume 6. Just some light reading, you know? ... Okay, NO... but I think this is an awesome idea. OH! Speaking of text-related things...there is this really funny author named Lisa Scottoline who writes a column called Chick Wit in the Philadelphia Inquirer every week. There is some funny stuff there, my friends. Her columns are posted online weekly. Just in case you are bored, they are fun to read sometimes. Okay, now that that sidenote is over... I am free the first weekend in October. Is it like a Fri-Sat. kind of thing? Or just Sat? I wasn't quite sure. Whatever it is, it sounds awesome. Bri-hope your classes are going well still, and that the train isn't giving you any trouble. Do you have pepper spray? I think you should have pepper spray. Or something that looks like pepper spray. Like spray butter, which is less potent, yet still intimidating. Haha, okay, kidding about the pepper spray, unless you're doing your whole "hang out alone in dark city alleys" thing again. I hope you're done with that stage, though...um, joking. Alright, well it seems I can't be serious right now. I feel silly.

I am spending my days looking for a job and doing a little bit of babysitting (not simultaneously). I am also looking for good devotional, because, as the case may be, I don't have any clue about the exegesis of the passages I'm reading. I also am not sure if that was the correct usage of that word. Maybe I meant hermeneutics. Who paid attention in Bible? Any of you? I tried, but my professor seemed to be more interested in having us get more confused by reenacting her reenactment book about Paul and the Roman House Churches. It was called, "Paul and the Roman House Churches." Needless to say, I didn't learn a heck of a lot about exegesis or hermeneutics, except that they are words. SO...if any of you know of a good devotional, let me know.

Welp, if you're still with me (and even if you're not), I love you all and can't wait to see you (hopefully!) soon!


Love you tons!
