Manda Lluvia! Part 2: Border Crossing

We stopped at Carls Jr, then drove across the border. Driving across the border doesn't seem like quite a thrilling experience, but it is, looking at all those frowning guards with big guns. Luckily, it wasn't a busy day, and we were across fast!
We crossed at the San Ysidro Border Crossing. Apparently it's the busiest international border crossing in the world. It goes between San Diego and Tijuana. Again, it wasn't that busy  the day we crossed over(going back was a whole other nightmare, more on that later.)


Picture:

You can kinda tell when you've crossed borders, even if the weather is the same. The way the people look, the way the buildings look, all the graffiti....they shout "Hey! We're in Mexico now!" You can't see in this picture very well, but there were a ton of vendors walking around the cars in the road selling everything from ponchos to puppies to statues!

It was a beautiful day, and not too hot either!

three amazing--and relatively little known--psalms

So I'm reading Psalms in the Bible right now. Well, Psalms is one of the three places I read from. I'm reading the Bible all the way through and read two chapters from three places--the Old Testament, the middle of the Old Testament, and the New Testament--every day. I'm in Deuteronomy and Romans in the other sections, but in the middle I'm still right where I started from-Psalms. Cause Psalms is really really long. I was getting kind of tired of Psalms(which isn't really the right attitude to be reading the Bible in). But I realized there are some really breathtaking passages in Psalms, and I'm glad I read them. These are my three favorites: *Buck Forester on Flikr Psalm 65 This one is about God's spectacular creation. What mighty praise, O God,      belongs to you in Zion. We will fulfill our vows to you, 2       for you answer our prayers.      All of us must come to you. 3  Though we are overwhel...

Her Universe

  Before I start, let me just say this. I appreciate what Ashley Eckstein is doing. It's obvious she really cares about and is enthusiastic about her line, and she's using her position to make our days(and wardrobes, apparently) a little more cheerful. However, I don't think Her Universe is the huge movement she expects it to be. The website   talks about how female SW fans have a hard time finding merchandise designed "just for us" and the trials of having to wear either "very girly stuff" or "men's stuff in small sizes."   This post from Club Jade clearly favors and is enthusiastic of Her Universe. Vivenne's comment,(the 6th) says everything more eloquently than I ever could. "However, it’s NOT our turn. We’re NOT getting what they’ve got. I STILL don’t wear Star Wars franchise stuff because there is no way I can afford Her Universe. $30 for a TEE SHIRT? No. No no no. I’ll keep buying the $9.99 shirts for g...
