"In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah, Ahaz son of Jotham kind of Judah began to reign. Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned Jerusalem sixteen years. Unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord his God. He walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even sacrificed his son in the fire, following the detestable ways of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. He offered sacrifices and burned incense at the high places, on the hilltops and under every spreading tree...And Hezekiah his son succeeded him as king...Hezekiah trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel. There was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before him or after him....And the Lord was with him." (2 Kings 16:1-4, 20b; 18:5, 7a)

Doesn't that make you want to be like Hezekiah? Well, I want to be like Jesus, but hey, you know. Well, making lists seems to be the "thing" and I feel compelled to join the crowd...so here's a list for you all....

2.) As you can all read, I am currently listening to Norah Jones. This song will be over before I finish this post.
11.5.) I am doing very well in my Trig. class...ooo....I'm pretty excited. Math gets me all excited. Hmmm....I'm glad the teacher I have now knows how to teach it, b/c my high school teachers didn't.
6.) I made my own "granola" bar. I'm pretty excited about it. I had a little help with ideas and such, but, oh they're so yummy!
7.) This is a perfect number. Who will question God? Well, we all will at some point. It's really too bad.
100.) My house looks really clean right now. I love it.
92.78.) I am reading this book and it talks about how you can date for fun and just be friends with the person. I know this sounds silly, but that goes against my thinking. But I like it. That concept gets me going, "yeah." Yeah.
14.) This is the day of two of my favorite things: a) my nephew's birthday...he'll be 4. He really likes Mickey. b) Valentine's Day, my favorite holiday. Crazy how we can give ppl gifts and chocolate and decorate fun cards for ppl w/barely a reason....oh wait, that's everyday of the year....*wink*
0901.) How many significant digits are in there? ....note: this is more important for those taking physics and going into more science-related math classes. You won't really need to know this a whole lot for Trig. (There's only 3 sig. digits.)
17*10.) I get really excited when I think about getting to go home to eat potatoes and butternut squash. Mmmmm....oh, and pineapple....!
18*10.) I think I am going to attempt to grow a pineapple "tree". It's not actually a tree, but it sounds more fun when phrased so.
20068.) God is really kicking my brain around. He keeps giving me things to mull over. It's refreshing and frustrating, but oh so good. I wish I could think of something right now, oh that thing He opened my brain up about this afternoon, but I can't think of it.
1.783.) I have 6 wonderful, Chicago-originated pizzas in the freezer right now. Deep dish, cheese and exquisite. I long for good pizza. I ordered it from Chicago and had them send it here. Mmmm....there's really only two or three places I consider excellent pizza, one's in my hometown, L&F's pizza, and one is in my house. My sister and my dad make wonderful, thin crust pizza from scratch. So wonderfully crunchy! It's one of the best things about going home. Besides being able to hug them and make them dinner (an evening meal usually served around 8 or 9pm) and seeing them smile and praying with my mom and sister.
10.) I think I want to make a top # list of things I love about Chicago. I'm gonna do it.
11.1.) Angela Berry gets married tomorrow! I will probably cry. So beautiful.
23.) This may sound terrible (especially after that last one) but, do you ever hear of so many engagements and get to the point where you're like, "Oh goodness, not another one." I think almost every other week I hear about another one (or two) of my friends getting married. I get super excited and rejoice with them, especially when I know it's a God thing, but y'know, it's like someone saying, "Hey, we're getting married!" and I'm like, "Oh good." It's become a normality. Normal starts to get boring at some point.(On the bright side, it means I have alot of friends...)
21.) Like diamonds, they're pretty normal right. Yeah.
20.) I don't think you're gonna like my list after those two, especially the married folk....I love you guys! (that'll make it alright, right?)
13.) Digging...digging....did you know there's only one building in Chicago that has a floor actually numbered as "13"? Most skip 13 and go to 14. So there's still a 13th floor, it's just cleverly disguised as 14...like the Devil and his lion costume...
10:68.) That's a ratio for something somewhere I'm sure, but I'll let you be creative with it...anywho, yesterday was Groundhog Day. I had a friend over and we watched the movie with Bill Murrey in it. It was cute. Than I stabbed it to death with realism... Hmm...I think my desire to ever watch that movie again is gone.
289/16.) In 49 days, Crystal and Tecate, Mexico will meet for the first time. It's an internet romance...awww! SO EXCITED!!!!
1/9.) This is an irrational number and I should be cleaning. I'm going to have to rework my whole schedule now....hmmm...schedules and I don't really get along....I just won't be tied down!!!!!
1000.) This is a good place to stop. I'm gonna go clean a bathroom or something.

By the way, the cd just ended...

You're going to Mexico? Or maybe I just didn't understand number 289/16.
