i've already become almost completely absorbed
with the internet. and the tv.
it's ridiculous really...how boring benton is.
how lame i get when i come home.
i wish i had some friends here.
and money would be nice too.
anything that could get me out of the house for any period of time.
perhaps later this week i'll get a book from the library
and spend the day at a coffee shop or in the park to read.
another thing i'm excited about,
and have been excited about since this blog began...
cooking.
my sources for inspiration are as follows.
- the pioneer woman. a site we cooked dinner from last week
when i was in covington. it was freaking delicious. and it has pictures.
- food network. my most recent tv obsession aside from the olympics.
it has everything. and it's always good.
every time i go to baton rouge,
i get more and more excited about being there all the time.
my ability to be there without stephen by my side 24/7 is relieving.
i certainly had a fear that i'd be suffocating,
but as it were, i have plenty of friends there too.
and plenty of things to do.
st. albans just exudes "home church" to me.
i just feel it when i'm there. everyone's so great,
and they desire so much to make it a family.
it reminds me of how st. matthias used to be.
i can't wait to be involved there all the time.
and join the choir.
oddly enough, it's something i've been thinking about a lot lately.
just one of those weird things i'm really pumped about, along with
meeting people for lunch or coffee all the time.
and renting an apartment. and decorating it.
and having dinner parties. and watching shows/movies together.and game nights. and the farmers' market. and whole foods.
and zoo trips. and trips to the capitol.
and the driving range. and to new orleans.
and covington. and highway 10.
and being at home.
