Love is the new black.

It's been so far so good without the boob tube. I've found myself with a TON of free time. Wednesday, I was able to finish up a book that I borrowed from a friend a looooooooooooong time ago. Thursday, I made myself dinner (breakfast tacos, which for me..is a start!) and practiced the piano and started learning a couple songs. Friday, I baked, went to a housewarming party for my pastor's wife, and helped host an ALL night youth lock-in. Today, I went to work for a couple hours to help with a system release (yes, totally exhausted from the lock-in, I had to go to work). It wasn't too bad though so I really shouldn't complain. I'm allowing myself a moment to post and then I must get off the internet and do something productive, even if that's only taking a nap...haha here's what I wore this week:

Sunday:


Monday - Minus the wrinkles, this was my favorite outfit for the week.


Tuesday:


Wednesday: Okay, this is also in the running for my favorite outfit of the week. Sorry for the messy room.


Thursday: Mixed Prints


Friday: You know you picked a good outfit when the girls at work think it's a dress.


Saturday -

Lent: NO TV!

So I’m going to fast TV for lent (no, I’m not becoming a Catholic, as Ayanna thought).

Here’s my rules and such, for accountability purposes:

1.       No turning the TV on; whether that’s for TV shows, movies, or video games.
2.       No watching TV shows online and no watching movies on my laptop. L
3.       No getting recaps from people, as that would defeat the purpose (I’m doing it both to free up time and to rid myself of the influence. TV is filthy and if you don't think so, watch it with a Bible next to you...see how much of what you're seeing is unscriptural and then come talk to me. And believe you me, I'm talking to myself on this one)
4.       With that in mind, I am able to go to the movie theater. However contradictory that might be, I’m not passing up the midnight showing of the Hunger Games J
5.       In the free time that I’m sure to have, I cannot just spend it on the Internet (per Olivia), I must practice the piano, guitar, sew, craft, cook (haha, stop laughing), etc, etc. As well as spend more time reading the bible and developing my prayer time.
6.       Added by Olivia, call my family at least once a week...which results in 4 phone calls a week: Mom, Dad, Dehli and Olivia. I think I can do this, hahaha.
Peace and blessings...peace and blessings (hahaa),
