Quote of the Day

"Do you know why Satan is so angry all the time? Because whenever he works a particularly clever bit of mischief, God uses it to serve his own righteous purposes."

"So God uses wicked people as his tools."

"God gives us the freedom to do great evil, if we choose. Then he uses his own freedom to create goodness out of that evil, for that is what he chooses."

"So in the long run, God always wins."

"Yes."

"In the short run, though, it can be uncomfortable."

--Orson Scott Card

FYI

I am in love with Viggo Mortensen. I had a crush on him in Witness, which was solidified in Young Guns II, "Sheriff, I need to have a movement." and made certain in various other movies culminating with Eastern Promises.

I just thought you should know.

5 Things

1-There was an earthquake today in Wells, Nevada. We felt it here, I was shaken awake.

2-I am sick, SICK!, of winter. It snowed again this morning, and I want spring!

3-I just spent nearly $1000 on my car. The check engine light came on late Saturday night (I was afraid my car would explode, but I was told that hardly ever happens.) and it turned out to be a faulty catalytic converter. Add to that the new tires, alignment, oil change, etc. etc. and it was expensive. Not as expensive as a monthly car payment, but still.

4-I'm starting to really work on the itinerary for my trip in April. My wish-list includes 18 things (in 5 states and DC) from the list, but I'll probably cut out 4-5 in order to make it do-able in a week.

5-I need to do my taxes. Since I sold the house in 2006, this will take approximately 10 minutes because I can again use the EZ forms.

Snow

Today was the first "real" snow of the season. Sure we had flurries a while back, but today, today was a lot of the white stuff, and right during the commute home. I have to admit, I'm not quite ready for winter.
