Random Thought Time

Playing on the iPod: "Let the Praise Begin" by Fred Hammond & Radical for Christ.

  • Bleach is a really good cleaner. That mold on my shower door just disappeared!
  • My job has me severely stressed.
  • It's hard to buy land without any capital.
  • I hate dusting.
  • I need more pictures of Hank.
  • My sister's pregnant. I guess that means I'll have to go back to Illinois some time this year.
  • I think I'll get my house's roof replaced this year.
  • I've missed watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
