Daily 5 - Day 82

Today's Daily 5:
  1. Getting tickets to a U2 concert next summer
  2. Korean food (first time ever!) with a friend - surprisingly tasty, and fun to catch up.
  3. A relatively smooth, if quite tiring, day at work
  4. Laughing because my world now contains conversations about things like amino acids and neuro transmitters, and natural ways to promote brain health (If you haven't known me long, I was always a "just give me the drugs already" kind of girl, but these days I'm as surprised as anyone to find myself driven to check out natural alternatives wherever possible, and that totally makes me laugh!)
  5. Laughing at the huge chocolate supply for our office that one of my coworkers picked up at great post-halloween sale prices. (seriously, the staff gets really upset if the chocolate bowl isn't kept full) There's a huge tub of candy hidden away at reception, just waiting to keep that bowl stocked for several months to come.

A few that I appreciated

These were my results to the "what stereotype are you" quiz on blogthings. Apparently I'm a hippie! (No big surprise there, actually.)

This post hit me deeply. I've enjoyed following Angie's story on her blog, and I've spent a lot of time in the last few years pondering that question of Jesus that she wrote about, "Do you want to be well?"

And this t-shirt that Matthew Paul Turner linked to made me chuckle. The emergent Christian t-shirt indeed!

We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Blogging...

Just had to stop in and squeal just a little (or a lot!) in pleasure.

I have tickets to see U2 live!

The concert isn't until next June, but I have tickets. I'll be going with my brother and his girlfriend. We bought the cheapest tickets available, and I don't even care. I'm just incredibly thrilled that I will get to see them live - fulfilling a "bucket list" item for me. It was sort of one of those things that I've dreamed about and wasn't really sure if it would ever happen, but it's going to happen, and that makes me just a little bit giddy!

We now return you to regularly scheduled blogging. I should be back sometime this afternoon.
