New icon. One of several.

It is finished! The file room project, that is. I just printed off the last sheet of tags for the file drawers. My co-workers will not be told about this, lest I get slapped immediately with some other two-month-long project. I need a little time to enjoy the accomplishment. :) All this peon labor has not been in vain. Earlier I was thinking that I know that file room better than anyone else here, because I personally moved, identified, boxed, and labeled all 1000+ of the files. I have a right to decide how things should go in there, because I made it. Then it hit me, isn't that like God? He made me, and He's the one who should decide how my life goes, because He knows me. I love cheesy file-room sermon illustrations. :)

Today must be a day of revelations, because I had another one about friendship. I realized that for a close friendship to really work, both people should need each other. Not in a creepy codependent way- in a normal way, like wanting each other's company and valuing each other's opinion. When one friend never sees another and doesn't feel a loss, I'm not sure how real their friendship is. Maybe this is obvious to most people...it's new to me. I see that the friends I spend the most time with, now, make me feel good and valued. They make time for me and seek out my thoughts on various things. When I get upset, they comfort me and don't think I'm dumb. That's what friendship is. I'm blessed to have such people in my life, both in real life and here on LJ. Thanks. :)

Tuesday has become my favorite weekday, other than Friday. I can look forward to McAlisting with Ryan, and then Evan comes over and we all watch American Idol together. I usually do some scrapbooking, too, until Ryan leaves. I like my little routines. :) A routine becomes a rut only when you don't want to do it anymore.

I'm feeling good about my weight situation, for once. I recently weighed myself and have lost those stubborn few pounds. Though I have done my best to gain it back since, :P I think I'm okay since I'm exercising more. Debra has my beloved 29 Minute Workout tape, so I ordered another one for myself and did it last night, for the first time in about a year. It's a lot easier than before. I'm definitely more flexible now, and the formerly torturous ab section hardly fazed me. Yay for Pilates! (I highly recommend the 29 Minute Workout. If you can get past the hilarious 80s outfits and music, it's excellent and works all your muscle groups.)

Okay, now I have to do work.
