I'm a Lover
2003-05-10 :: 8:27 p.m.

There is nothing more than I enjoy doing with my family than shopping in Costco. I absolutely hate grocery shopping, but I adore going to Costco. There is just some sort of magical wonder about that store that never ceases to amaze me.

It was great to get my tampons in a 100 pack and my deodorant in a 3 pack. I also got like a pound of raisins and The Life of Pi by Yann Martel for an extremely good price. I read that book last summer and I have wanted to read it again ever since. I also bought my Mom The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. I have heard that one is quite good and she liked The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants by Ann Brashares, so I am hoping she will like this. :) It's nice to share this reading love with my mom. Although, mind you, she thinks the classics are crap though. She actually says "Classic books are crap" quite often. I guess she's entitled to her opinion, though. I just find it funny how she can easily say that without having read a book. Meh, I guess.

Ooh, look at the below nifty thing that I found today. :)

Spiritual Types Test
You are a Lover, a feeling type, whose spirituality comes primarily from the heart or emotions. You value freedom, independence, and spontaneity. Along with your gift of enthusiasm, you show us how to have fun and appreciate beauty. More than any other type, you know how to experience joy. This puts you in a unique position to experience God in the moment, to revel in what is happening around you, and to be in the present tense.

To Lovers, God is a nurturing parent. Prayer for you is often extemporaneous, speaking to God about what is on your heart at the moment. Music moves you deeply; so does heartfelt preaching and worship. You believe that real faith must be shared. Consequently, many Lovers are interested in missions or in spreading the Gospel through the media. You are passionate about holy living.

On the other hand, a Lover's impulsive behavior can get you in trouble. You sometimes focus on satisfying immediate desires to the detriment of investing in longer term needs. You have been known to exude a "holier-than-thou" attitude toward other spiritual types. That does not endear you to us. Guard against thinking that to be right everyone else must share a spiritual experience similar to yours. You also may need permission to acknowledge anger, disappointment, sadness, and doubt, and to allow yourself to be less than ideal.

Famous Lovers:
- Snoopy
- Aunt Bee
- Alanis Morissette
- Billy Graham
- Julia Butterfly Hill
- Andrea Bochelli
- Joey Tribbiani
- His Holiness, The Dalai Lama
- Mary Magdelene
- Captain Kirk
- Ida Mae Brown (in Ghost)

I think that is really neat that Alanis Morissette is a lover too because I aspire to be like her. She is very talented and a wonderful thinker.

I just got off the phone not too long ago after talking with my friend Liz. I always have a good laugh when I talk with her. She called me to get her mind off the fact that her parents were going to have a shower together and the fact that they have been acting quite "frisky" lately. GAH! Freaky! I can imagine bad mental pictures. Make them stop! Make them stop! I can't even imagine what she feels like. I suggested that maybe her parents are taking male and female viagra and she admitted that it was probably true. Poor, poor Liz. I just hope she gets out alive or at least not severely mentally disturbed.

We had a good laugh over political mumbo jumbo and also chatted about how this summer we are going bungee jumping and white water rafting. Doesn't sound like Liz wants to do the bungee jumping, but she said she would come and watch Laura and I do it. It should be fun. It's one of those things on my list of things to do before I die so I thought, why not? Last summer we went skydiving and this summer we are going to do something just as crazy. Good fun, good fun.

Oops, gotta go.
