What an amazing day. I spent most of the afternoon in the sun digging up weeds, putting down new soil and planting a few flowers. I listened to this pete fountain dixieland jazz cd I got a few weeks ago-- along with the good ole O Brother where art thou soundtrack--what great music! Aside from the Ladykiller soundtrack, O Brother is probably my favorite.
After I put the flowers in, I brought out some water, some wine and a little piece of pistashio cheesecake.. mmm. I really just took some time today to be thankful for life, to breathe it in. I looked at the clouds for awhile and watched different shapes appear and disappear across the sky.
This morning I read the scripture at the church. I was a little nervous, but once it was actually time to read it was no big deal. I felt pretty calm and peaceful actually.
Friday night I went with someone to the casino. I was up 400 bucks (I only took in 30) but in the end I was so greedy I couldn't walk away. Then yesterday I went and played blackjack at a different place. It was the same story. I was up and doing really well, and then the cards changed and I kept getting screwed by the house.
Note to self to watch it. I don't know why I like flirting so much with dangerous things.
