Today was great. :)
Coffee, cleaning house, lunch at a hole-in-the-wall burrito joint with KCapri, thrifting until our bodies were sore, and ice cream cones. Can't beat a day like that. I'll post photos of some of the treasured purchases very soon!
Deals you have to see to believe... literally.

Going to fall asleep to a sappy romantic film, I think.
Maybe one of my favorites: My Best Friend's Wedding.
Goodnight x

because it's TOO AMAZING to pass up...

"Not our wills but Thine, O Lord" 

Man has so misunderstood Me in this. I want no will laid grudgingly upon My Altar. I want you to desire and love My Will, because therein lies your happiness and Spirit-rest. Whenever you feel that you cannot leave the choice to Me, then pray, not to be able to accept My Will, but to know and love Me more. With that knowledge, and the Love, will come the certainty that I know best, and that I want only the best for you and yours. How little those know Me who think I wish to thwart them. How often I am answering their own prayers in the best and quickest way. - Russell

wow. wow. and wow.

^ the loads of people from here and there. some townies, some from out of town.

AND FINALLY IT BEGAN...

^ The U.S MARINES started us off...

^PORTERVILLE girls

^ CAPTAIN HOOK

^ Mexican American Association 

^ the RIBBON GIRLS. they put on a stellar 60 second performance

^ LA TOYA JACKSON waving in white. even a Jackson showed up!

^ DRUMLINE

^ U.S AIRFORCE (such a nifty idea, riding down in little planes)

^ ELMO, because who doesn't love him?

...AND FOR THE CLOSER...

^ MEDIEVAL TIMES [princes & princessess]

I didn't get to stay for the whole thing, because my phone was low on battery life. But i'm really glad I drove in the midst of the chaos earlier to stop traffic and ask the street cop what the commotion was all about because I got to be apart of the Christmas parade this year, with the rest of this crazy town. And I'm sure you'd agree with me when I say, it was well spent time.

^ And of course, my feet that carried me home.

So the cleanse...
It's actually going better than I had thought, or expected. I made a whole entire pot of homemade lentil soup. I'd photograph it, if I felt it was worthy to be photographed but you might be disgusted. It only looks unappetizing, I promise.

Anyway, this is me on Day 1:

alive, still breathing. 

Day 2: 

still breathing, and a little shocked at how great its been going...

We'll see what day 3, 4 and 5 hold. So far, so good. Lentils and all!
