Happy Tuesday :o(

Hello Olenga -

Having a bad Tuesday already, but determined to recapture it while it's still early. Mously has been spending the past two nights and I have been dropping her off at her exam for 7.15. This morning as I dropped her off I realized that I had inadvertently emptied the contents of my entire 25oz SIGG water bottle into my purse destroying my MOLESKIN 2009 planner, petite Bible and my 5 year old much-sentimental-value-attached 20G iPod. Happy Day! I am still holding out hope that my iPod isn't dead, but it's doubtful. Apparently when you wet your electronics, it's a bad idea to plug them in - that should have occurred to me since I do have a brain, but it didn't until Ade said "oh you shouldn't plug it in if it might still be wet, you'll fry it." Those words of wisdom came a little too late I think as the iPod now has precipitation on the glass and faint rainbow swirly colors where the black and white face used to be :o( Not sure why charging it was what I thought it needed. It was fully charged anyway!

I have a lunch bible study with college student Marquita. Joining us will be college disciple Kelsey - to whom I hope to pass M off. Her schedule just doesn't work with mine. She works everyday from 6 - 11pm and she's a college student so she needs to be with them! This means I'm going to miss my second workout of the week :o(. On Tuesdays I take step at lunch and I'm sure my already foul mood will suffer more for missing it, but I'd say salvation is more important than the long lean (yet petite) body Elizabeth is trying to build.

You need to sleep more - period end of story. We need to figure out how you can do that. There's no need to eat healthy food, but never give your body enough time to do it's natural detoxification and rebuilding.

My frienemy Ebun, from my Sahara trip, and I just exchanged e-mails about needing to clear the air. I am glad we're on the same page (at least at this point) but I am feeling like if I need to resolve one more thing with someone I might harm myself.

Sorry for the jumbled voicemail. My whole life is kinda feeling that way these days....Glad you had fun with the Robinsons. I LOVE Gregg and need to do a better job of showing that to him (and the Mrs).

Laters,
Lisa

ps: Yes, I realize I need Jesus and probably medication. :o)

So I'm meeting the RJV...

Hi RJV -

I'm not sure how often you check this e-mail account, here's hoping you get this within the month.

I overheard people congratulating you a few weeks ago, so I assume you're officially dating the person you talked to me about. Best wishes to you both!

It would be helpful to me if we met up to have a talk - a part two if you will - of our December conversation. As mentioned that evening, I was unprepared for that conversation in many ways, and add to that my tendency toward delayed reactions...and you have the necessary second convo.

Anyway, I'm finally ready to have a voice and clearly speak my piece about all of this - while responding to a couple of things you brought up that evening. I am also convinced that Satan has had waaaaaaaay too much fun at both of our expenses over this situation for too long and I'm ready to do my part to put an end to it.

Let me know if you are willing and able to meet, so we can set something up.

Thanks,
Lisa

Interesting day to send me an email but joke aside - thank you for your wishes.
> It shows me a great degree of maturity and forgiveness to say such a thing to me.

I could definitely tell that something was off after I left last time but wasn't sure of what to make of it. However, I am more than willing and able to meet with you again. Just let me know when and where and I'll see whether I can be there (I'm pretty flexible)

Monday's from 4-6 is a window
Tuesdays are perfect
Wednesday's before midweek
Thursdays 4-6 another window before bibletalk
Friday - i doubt you'd want to but I'd be open to meeting up.

Hope this helps,
RJV

RJV -

I appreciate your quick response with your availability - unfortunately, it's taken me a while to get back to you. Life is slowing down somewhat, and I can meet up with you the week of March the 9th. Is that a good week for you? I wasn't sure if the availability you sent applies from week to week. Let me know...

Lisa,

That week works. The schedule that I gave you is pretty consistent from week to week, so let me know a day that is best for you and I will see if that time and day works. Thanks.

RJV,

How's the evening of the 10th of March? I'm thinking 7-ish... We can set plans in stone in terms of location and exact time in a few days.
