how have I been doing you ask?



 
rhythmicgymnastic: Elizaveta Nazarenkova

This is a rhythmic gymnast, not a dancer. It's still not fair though.
This week has been kind of emotionally/spiritually hard, but I think I'm coming out of it. Some days are good days, and some days are just kinda blehh, you know?

I've been really stressed about preparing girls for GAM, so much that I got stress stomach cramps on Monday during the meeting. There really isn't anything to be stressed about, I'm just grappling with it. Only two more weeks, I'll let you know how it turns out. It's been an uphill battle all the way. I feel like I'm trying to do everything right, but things seem to get progressively worse. Like my ride to the meeting totally ditched me and I had to bike there myself, causing myself to be 10 minutes late. And like in a movie, it started to rain...XD

Like, I try to see God's plan for everything, but I just don't have that ability right now.

I've been compensating by watching Dance Moms reruns, reading my Bible, watching my pastor's sermons online, and searching tumblr for gifs.

I'm also going to have a meeting in half an hour with one of my neighbors who works at city hall, since I want to intern there in the summer...super nervous..eep.


Stay crispy,
Amaranthine

    Keep doing what you are, you'll come out of it!

    Oh, city hall people. They scare me too. I need to talk to ours about open up my food photography business. I need to see of I need a license for it. Still gives my gut cramps just thinking about it.

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...

Howl's Moving Castle book analysis

“I feel ill. I'm going to bed, where I may die.” ― Howl, upon having a cold. I've decided to call them "book analysis" because they're not really reviews that tell you how much I liked the book, rather,  me taking the book apart and looking at different aspects of it for my own entertainment. Read on. Also, read Howl's Moving Castle. This is the original cover of Howl's Moving Castle and I have got to say it is the UGLIEST thing I have ever seen. I like the new one much better. Ahem. First of all, I should point out that Howl's Moving Castle is a children's book. However, I like to hold all books I read to the same standard, after all, they're written by adults. I had biased expectations of Howl's Moving Castle from the start, because I kept hearing from several sources how amazing, how fantastic, how hilarious and how romantic the book was, and hearing the perfectly gorgeous soundtrack by Joe Hizazi(somethin...

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...
