the most relaxing weekend...

ok, it certainly didn't start out that way...

friday night, i spent hours trying to fix a broken computer - *my* broken computer... all in vain. i was up late, and finally found myself on my knees, face down in the couch, praying determinedly - not just about the computer, but about everything going on in my life... how i want to be a better wife, a better employee, a better computer geek, a better Christian, a better daughter, a better scrapbook designer. it had been a long time since i'd greeted the Lord with such a passionate request... then on sunday, i heard a sermon about how we have to help ourselves out of a 'funk' with a good attitude and a smile... "when you're going through hell, keep on going..."

anyways... saturday, i spent more time trying to fix a computer that would not fix, then panicing about a review i had due for ScrapFriends on sunday. finally, i turned the computer over to my blessedly geeky friends at work, and begged for their pity. then, it was out of my hands, so i made the conscious decision to get over it... i put a bunch of time into working on matt's new computer - getting software that i needed installed and running, so it would be usable for me and my design team obligations. we enjoyed saturday evening. i helped matt at the church, which can sometimes be kinda fun... it was nice to relax when we got home.

but it just didn't get any better than sunday... i relaxed and watched a movie. i got to knit. i made photocopies of my Masters entry. i finished and submitted a review. i worked on the laundry. i felt like i accomplished so much, that i was just totally at peace. i love those days. good days.
