Migraine and such

I have a migraine that's been going strong now for three days, and it's showing no signs that it plans to leave. My wonderful father-in-law prescribed me some Tylenol with codeine and even that's not completely knocking it out. Woopty-doo! So, if my words don't make sense or I spell something wrong just let it go, it's not my fault.

I'm writing a book. If you have any stories about a current or past pet that you think are cute, heart-warming or just plain cool, email me at natty1427@yahoo.com or tell me in my guest book. I'm writing the book about how God uses pets in people's lives to teach them biblical truths about Himself. Example: My cat Cassie hates me. No matter how much love, affection, attention, food, shelter, whatever, I give her, when I try to pet her she hisses. If I touch her I'm usually bitten and sometimes just walking by prompts her to bat at my ankles and hiss. I did nothing to deserve this hatred and I continued giving her love for my entire junior year of college hoping she'd learn to trust me and love me back. It never happened.
I see Cassie as myself and every other human and my attempts at loving her and providing for her as God's attempts to love us and provide for us. We don't deserve it, just as Cassie did not deserve my love after treating me so badly, yet I wanted to love her and I continued to feed her and welcome her in our home because she needed that love and protection. I sin against God every day, yet he never leaves just as I never left Cassie. If I can find love in my heart for this evil cat, I know God has more than enough love for my evil, human self.
In the book things will be written more thoroghly and eloquently, but hopefully you can see where I'm going with this. Anyway, email me or comment in my guest book if you have a story.

I'm writing music. I don't need you to send in any potential songs or anything, I just thought I'd share what else I'm doing with my life these days. Jason and I have 18 songs between us we think truly have potential. Exciting stuff. We're practicing so we can start playing out at writers nights and such. I'm also hoping to play at the artisan in Columbia sometime in May. Fingers crossed.

I'm substitute teaching when they call me. It's been a while....I'm sure they'll call soon. I think I'm actually subbing all of next week for a vocational cosmetology class at Hilsboro High school. I'll keep you posted.

Sophie the dog is growing like a weed and is officially the coolest dog on the planet, no contest. Don't even try to email me a story about a pet if you're going to try to tell me yours is cooler than Sophie, cuz sorry, it just ain't true.

For the record. The girl who lives in the aparment below us officially sucks. She banged on her ceiling last night to tell Jason to stop playing the piano. The time of night it was may have had something to do with it.... but, still, she sucks. Trust me. Really.

Jason started blogging! I think my blogging rubbed off on him. Check out his site, by clicking Jason Wayne Wilson under my links. He has some conditions if you want to read his blog (journal) though, so, be prepared, he's not joking.

My fabulous friend Sarah Wieschhaus and her boyfriend Chad are coming to visit us this weekend and I am excited! Yes, I am excited. Friends! I don't have so many of those here yet. Not because I stink, but because these things take time.

Jason got a music program called Nuendo that's just like protools and a new microphone to record with. It's pretty exciting stuff. I'll let you know when the album is complete.

Jason and I went to San Angelo Texas on a whim last Wednesday and we came back Monday. It was really fun. The Wilson home is a beautiful, tranquil get away with quiet, beauty, a fabulous cook named Linda Wilson and a hot tub. What more can you ask for.
The weekend prior to that Wednesday we traveled to St. Louis, Columbia and Kansas City for the Chris Shillito and Carissa Varnell wedding. It was fabulous. So fun! I got to see so many good friends in each of those cities and it was so great, especially due to the afore mentioned lack of friends here. Once again, not because I stink, but because these things take time.

I think this blog has run its course. I've summed up the excitement of the past few weeks and in case you were wondering, I still have that migraine and I'm still tickled to death about it (insert sarcastic tone).

One final thought that is an absolute praise to my glorious, merciful, amazing Lord- My uncle Dale is now a Christian. God is so, so, good.
