Good Friday/Easter really snuck up on me this year. I'm off Good Friday, but have to work on Easter. I'm trying to think of a suitable way to celebrate the holiest day on the believer's calendar. Last year, Dav and I took communion in our home (wine and pita bread), read Scripture, and prayed. I think we will do that again this year.
I just can't imagine what it must have been like for Jesus to eat this last meal on Earth with His closest friends and companions. What it must have been like to be with Him on that night.

beautiful dream
A few nights ago, I dreamt that Dav and I had our first child, a beautiful daughter. I dreamt that she was only three months old, but she looked to be around 18 months old or so in the dream. She looked a lot like Dav and was the most beautiful person I have ever seen. She had pale blonde curls, ice blue eyes and a pale complexion with rosy cheeks. She looked like an angel.
I woke up, rather sad that she wasn't real. I want to have children soon, but I know we aren't ready yet. Maybe in another couple of years.
In other news...
Lately Dav and I have been taking trips to various places and hiking with the nicer weather. On Friday we went to Vicksburg to the Civil War park. We have driven through the park on many occasions, but decided to take it in strictly on foot. We took one of the medium length trails, which was six miles. It felt more like ten miles because of the hilly terrain that Vicksburg has. I wore Chuck Taylor shoes (what was I thinking?). It took us about three hours and by the end of it, I could barely walk. In fact, about halfway through, I collapsed onto a grassy hill and took a break. I got sunburned also, but I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I took some fantastic photos as well, of things I normally wouldn't notice if we were driving.
That evening, my friend Dorothy invited me to a salsa dance party in Fondren on the roof of the Fondren corner building (5th floor building). I haven't a clue as to how to salsa dance and also had massive blisters on my feet, but I went anyway and had a fantastic time (even though it was windy and in the 40's). I really want to take dance lessons now.
The next day, Saturday (yesterday), my back was hurting intensely and my legs were so sore I could barely walk. I really need to get into better shape!! I am still hurting today, but it was totally worth it because I had a really fun weekend.
Time to take a break and slow things down before my next adventure: the cruise to Cozumel and exploring Mayan ruins. I can't wait!

Friendship breakups
So my brother in law (one of my best friends also) broke up with his girlfriend today. I feel like I'm going through a breakup, too, because she was an awesome person and became a fast friend. I would like to remain friends with her, but I just don't see that happening. At least not any time soon.
The thing is, I really liked hanging out with this chick. Not just a friend out of convenience or circumstance. Sigh.
Lately, i've been feeling things so intensely. I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder about a year ago, but decided not to go on the meds because it is not a very severe case, but the last couple of days I've found myself going from manic to crying within 30 minutes. i've considered going back on anti-depressants, but those just make me feel numb (mentally and physically). I'm not sure which is worse at this point.
Sigh.

change of subject
I'm not really sure where I was going with that last entry, so I've decided a subject change is in order. Truth be told, I was venturing into territory that was starting to weird me out.
A list of things I can't wait for, in no particular order:
1. Charlaine Harris's latest book (May 2010)
2. My cruise to Cozumel (April 2010)
3. Food (now)
4. The pool at my apartment to open (ummm, I think in may?)
5. For us to buy a house (TBD)
6. The next episode of The Office (Thursday)
7. Twilight Eclipse movie (June 2010)
8. Twilight New Moon DVD release (March 20, 2010)
9. My AT&T upgrade (May also).
Wow, I am really shallow. I need to set loftier ambitions.....
