I HATE CLEANING!!!
I confess, dear readers, I am an incredibly messy person. I hate to clean. I hate to pick up after myself. I leave a trail of stuff wherever I go. Did I mention that I am married to a neat, organized person. The poor guy is so discombobulated by me. Therefore, I am trying to mend my messy ways and clean up.
Which leads me to an important question...
Can I afford a maid? I know that I can't, but that doesn't stop me from running the numbers. What can I live without in order to have someone clean up after me? It looks like I could afford one if I could stop buying gas for the car. Which would mean I could never go anywhere. Which would mean I could stay at home and clean. ARGH...I hate circular arguments.
Musical Confessions
Do you ever find that you like music that is decidedly not Christian. For instance, you hear a song on the radio and you really like the beat of it, so you download it...ummm...I mean go out and legally buy the CD, and you realize that this song is TACKY! I won't mention the song that is stuck in my head, but if anyone else likes Kanye West even though you know it's probably wrong, let me know. We can start a support group.
Another Confession
Despite my soul searching entry about making our daughters to looks-centric, I am watching What Not to Wear again. I can't help it, I just love this show. If I could get out of the drastic haircut/make-up part of the show, I would so nominate myself. Not that I think that I am a fashion victim, but I would love that $5000 Visa card.
Well, our revival at church begins again tomorrow night. If anyone is near Henderson, TN, stop in. It is an awesome revival, you can really feel the annointing of the minister (Bro. Thiason) when you walk in the door. It's back to cleaning for me, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I don't like cleaning, either, especially since my life is so filled with other things - family, friends, church, work, and college class work. I figure my cleaning lady is a bargain, since she charges less than I make an hour and I had much rather be working at my job than cleaning my dirty house. What a treat to come home from work to a clean house and know I don't have to spend my weekend cleaning!
Well, I'm not a big Kanye West fan, but I have heard some of his songs. I liked "Jesus Walks" a lot, even though I'm well aware that Kanye is not actually walking the same walk as Jesus. And I think the lyrics to his latest single, "Golddigger" are funny, even though it's a very sad statement about the dysfunctional relationships that are so prevalent today.
Kanye may be a secular artist (and I say that loosely because I don't believe in secularism; to me everything's spiritual) but in my opinion he's a commentator about society using a medium and method that's a little bit different from newspaper columnist. Still, if you want to listen to songs about positive, Christ-honoring relationships, may I suggest Superchick? Or Barlow Girl? Or Relient K? Contrary to what some people may think, the world does NOT have all the good music, and thank goodness for that!
