I can't express how much I am in love with the meditation classes I am taking via iTunes. Somehow they really turn on a lightbulb spiritually for me, and I'm really able to ingest the things that they are saying.
Today's meditation was called "Constructing Heaven". The lady spoke, in her lovely Australian accent, about how God constructed us in such a way that our truly important meaningful aspirations, like love and joy and peace, are free, and exist within us. On the other hand, our non-important, material desires are difficult to achieve. This goes along with an earlier lesson that spoke about discerning between desire and aspiration. Desire is that feeling we have when we want something. That feeling, however, is never satisfied, and is immediately transferred to something else as soon as we get whatever we wanted. Alternatively, aspirations are those personal and spiritual goals that make us truly happy.
Anyway, I know that was a little boring, but I can't help writing about it.

Lent is Over
And Dustin ate a hamburger. Sad day.
Anyways, life is boring. There has been much South Park watching.
Dustin's done working for his parents, and so the job hunt is back on. The waiting is driving me nuts. I want a house really really really bad. I'm obsessed.
School is almost over, and when it ends I get to find a job too. Woot.
I'm kinda bummed out. Hmmmf.

Spring Break
Spring break was kind of a dud. We've spent the week watching movies and lounging around in pajama's. There has been many much knitting.
We went to OKC to see the peeps, and Matthew came up to Stillwater tonight to visit us.
Lent is almost over, and Dustin has done an impressive job of staying vegetarian. I'll be so disappointed, though, the first time he bites into a hamburger now that I'm used to him not eating meat.
It is one in the morning, and Dustin is sawing logs.
Tomorrow we are going to see a documentary, and I'm pumped. It's about the men that pose for the covers of romance novels. How unique is that? It was made by Robin's (dustin's moms friend's) cousin or niece or something.
I just want to post a link to the Meditation Society of Australia. Their meditation classes are seriously changing my life.
Before I go to bed, here is my kitty in the shower:
Night night.

Dying can be messy
This is me yesterday:
And this is me today:
Somewhat of an improvement, very appropriate for Easter I think.
My blanket is almost finished. Woo-hoo. I'll post pics when I'm done.

I just heard the most disgusting shovanistic conversation
I just overheard some shit for brains freshman guy tell his bro' that he left the party they were at because his friend was busy "chubby chasing" and that when he sees the girl he was flirting with straight that he will be suprised. What an asshole.
I've been inspired by my meditation lessons to try to love everyone unconditionally, but comments like that burn me up. Arg.
So that my soapbox for this morning.
