Banish: forbid, abolish, or get rid of. That’s right, Joe is hosting men’s discipleship group at our house tonight so I have been banished from the house. Well, parts of the house. I get to stay in our bedroom :). As I thought about being “stuck” in our room for a couple hours, my mind started thinking… What if I get hungry? I can’t go out to the kitchen when they’re having “man talk”. I better bring some raisons. Maybe some cheerios too. I don’t know how long they’ll be. Oh my gosh, I’m going to get thirsty. I better bring my water. Cell phone and computer are a must. Ohhhh I hope that this doesn’t last too long! Needless to say, I do not like having to be cooped up in one place for too long! But I can’t complain too much about three guys getting together to talk about life + Jesus :).

I do it almost everyday. You would think that I would like doing it, but I don’t. Running that is. It is just NOT my thing. But I know that it is good for me, and it’s important to challenge myself. So I do it. Last week while we were running Joe said to me “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you sprint.” Me: “probably not. I don’t know why you would have. I don’t usually just sprint to sprint.” Joe: “Well, yea. I mean I’ve never seen you play a sport or anything. Weird. I want to see you sprint. Right now.” Me: “Okay! Ready? I proceed to take off “sprinting”. I was actually quite proud of myself. Until I turned and saw Joe laughing at me. Laughing. “That’s not a sprint!!! That was just a fast jog”. Good thing I have no desire to become a professional sprinter. I guess I would have my work cut out!

Okay, so I am LOVING pandora radio. I know this is probably old news to most of you, but I am just discovering how wonderful it is. I have grown sick of my itunes playlist lately and so I decided to check it out. Oh my goodness, what a treat! Who ever came up with it is a genius and I intend to give them a big hug if I ever meet them!

Happy Monday everyone :)

I found this picture Joe took of me. I don’t remember why I was sad when he took it. But right now it depicts that I am sad that I have been banished!
