{very} Random Thoughts

Hearing about so many young lives cut short has reminded me about the brevity of life.  It reminds me that life isn't all fun and games - they are things to be done - people to love and bless, and a God to glorify. 
But on the other hand, life is short.  Enjoy it while it lasts.  Live every day to the fullest, with no regrets.  Tell someone you love them, try new things, make new friends.  The older I get, the faster time flies!

Some of my best thinking is done while scrubbing the kitchen floor on hands and knees.  I realized then that if I ever have my own kitchen, I would appreciate a small one, maybe around 5' by 7'.  (I actually had some other thoughts too, lest you think my best thinking is.....lacking.)

 Since I'm finished with school till next semester, I'm trying to do a couple of projects in between jobs.  I'm experimenting with Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint in Flow Blue.  It comes in a powder that you mix with water.  It dries with a chalky finish, but brightens up if you apply a sealer or finish coat on top.  It's a good paint to use if you're going for the distressed look, as it chips off easily.

Got to spend time with the little sister and go to a wedding. 

I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow for her checkup and I'm as nervous as....well, I'm just kinda nervous.  She's cleaner than this, by the way.

And that's all for this very random post.  I've considered deleting this whole post - it's quite the hodge-podge of thoughts.  But that's my life, I guess.
