First April Post . . .

 . . .the one in which I feel terrible for not posting for a whole week and missing the start of a new month.

Oh well. Such is life. Life. Yesterday was Easter although that is a forbidden word in our house. It's Resurrection Sunday not Easter Sunday. And I'm all for that. I get that Easter was a pagan holiday. But somehow wishing someone a blessed resurrection just sounds funny. Like hope you rise well. I don't know; it just sounds funny. Nevertheless I'm the first one to text my friends a "He is Risen" and I am thrilled to the core when they text back a "He is Risen Indeed, Hallelujah!" I think Easter (Resurrection, Christ-rise) Sunday or whatever you call it has got to be one of my favorite holidays. Ever. Think about it, outside sunrise service + breakfast with everybody at church + great hymns + new clothes = one amazing holiday! For my new Resurrection get-up this year, we bought a top at Walmart and my mom made a cute skirt to match. She's so talented! And my daddy picked me out some new matching jewelry from Avon. Such a good Daddy! Hope you had a "Blessed Resurrection!"

Willing to Try

I didn't post yesterday. It was a long day. I was really tired. I was stressed. I was full of questions. Today, I'm better. It was still a long day. But I'm not as tired or stressed. And those questions that were bugging me? Well, they're still not answered. But they don't bother me anymore. I guess it was just one of those days.
Yesterday, I tried out Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. I had heard about it on some blogs and then my cousin mentioned it to me last week on our spring break trip. She said it was tough and she's thin so I knew it would be hard. Man, is it hard! I did it again today and I am sooooo sore!! And, of course, the day I try this new workout our scale malfunctions. Good times. Oh well, I'm willing to try pretty much anything if it'll work. We'll see how this goes.

Breathe, Just Breathe

I'm just a little bit stressed right now . . . Okay, that's a lie. I'm really stressed right now. It just really hit me how much work I still have between now and the end of the semester. Add to that the stress of trying to lose some weight before the wedding and prepping for the summer and you've got one stressed Johannah! I just keep telling myself to breathe. God will get me through I know, but right now. Whew. Stress!

And So It Continues

Today, I am home. The spring break trip is over, but it was wonderful! And the sweet menfolk in my family cleaned up for us while we were away. But, my room is still a mess and there is homework and other work to be done. And so it continues . . .
I'm going to work tomorrow on my spring break post, maybe I'll do something like last year.
