I have been thinking about a lot of things lately.
ONE
One of those things is gender roles. I have read more than one post lately about women and their desire to do all of the same things, and be just like men.
I don't want to.
I want every man and every woman between here and the Mississippi to know that if my car gets a flat tire I can change it.
I don't want to.
I am good at my job. I have had a few job opportunities presented from other rival companies. I am pretty loyal, so for now I sticking around. I have been told that I need to forgo that loyalty and develop my own career.
I don't want to.
Satan has a way of using good things and pushing us to see beyond the mark. It seems that he is using human rights as a clever disguise for woman to forget the things that God intended for us. He intended for us to be kind, nurturing and gentle. He wants us to focus more on changing the world from inside our own homes and communities than on conquering the world with guns-a-blazin. He hopes we will see the beauty in ourselves, in our neighbors and our surroundings, and he hopes we will share that beauty with those who cant see it. He wants us to be good, righteous, virtuous, honorable, friendly, loving, soft, pliable, teachable and humble.
I don't know how this all happens for me, but over the past few weeks I have determined that I am beginning within myself a return to femininity.
TWO:
I really want to date a cellist (preferably one that rides a motorcycle.)
Hey... while we are at it, lets dream big: here's to hoping that he has a job, a personality and a temple recommend.
THREE:
Remember when you were in college and how you stayed up into weird hours of the night regularly? Well I don't. I tried not to do that much. (Okay we know about the semester I worked at WeedMan, but that wasn't a good time for any of us, so I try to suppress that...) BUT I have started doing that a lot lately. It is kicking my trash. And yet... here I am writing a blog post at midnight.*
FOUR:
I moved again. I would say I am going to post photos, but we all know that isn't likely to happen. So know this: it has a living room and kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a few closets. That's enough.
FIVE:
I was at a friend's house last night. He said and I quote, "you're surprising me with how much you know." Uhhhhh....thanks...? I think?
SIX:
I am thinking of starting a collection of #AwkwardLoriStories so stay tuned for those. They could be good ones.
*Leslie... I blame you.
