Chipotle finally opened in the OKC area. While I'm happy for the masses that enjoy the burrito madness, I'm not sold on the status of the over-rated burrito maker. Don't get me wrong, I like Chipotle...but we've had Qdoba for a while now and they are much better, in my book. And...now that we have a Freebirds (in Norman)...Chipotle falls even lower on my burrito scale. Here is how I rank the burrito makers:
1.) Freebirds
2.) Qdoba
3.) Chipotle
4.) Moe's
What is your ranking?

Surprise & Delight
Who doesn't love a good surprise?
I went on a trip recently and was completely surprised by the outcome. I didn't really want to go. I wasn't excited. And just when I least expected it, the Lord totally surprised me. Surprised me with fun I didn't anticipate. Laughter I really needed. And... transparency that revived my soul. I got a bit teary.
I can't go into a lot of detail... so as to protect the innocent... but just know that the Lord does indeed have perfect timing. If we can just bring ourselves to wait on him... he comes through at just the right moment... with just the right wisdom. I wonder how many times in my life I'll have to be reminded of this simple truth?

Getting Older
So...I decided I'm no longer young. That's right...at the ripe old age of 36, I've officially crossed over into the land of the grown ups. How do I know this? Well, consider the following evidence:
1.) I care about the elections. More than just presidential...but smaller local elections get my attention too.
2.) I watch Nightline almost every night...that is when I don't fall asleep first.
3.) I think about (but don't actually do this yet) wearing sensible (I prefer the term "comfortable") shoes.
4.) I like talk radio.
Need I go on?

More Cheese Please
At the risk of sounding completely cheesy, I found this quote that I absolutely love:
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." - Unknown Author
Do you have a friend like this? I do, and I feel incredibly blessed.
I've decided that 2008 is the year of friendship for me. I'm committed to telling my friends how much and what I appreciate about them. Life is short... and in the words of one of my friends... you've got to enjoy every sandwich.
I've also decided I'm going to let more people into my circle of trust. I'll admit it...I don't let a lot of people in. I mean, truly in where they indeed to know they song of my heart. I don't have any deep traumatic tale that would let you psycho-analyze my trust issues...I'm just naturally a pretty private person. I owe this trait to my Dad and my Mom... but for very different reasons. Dad = ULTRA Private. Mom = The opposite of Private.
So, if you are in my circle... consider yourself one of the few. If you are not... well, 2008 could be your year.

You gotta start somewhere...Enjoy the randomness.
So...I've thought about creating a blog for some time now. And, now I've done it and can't figure out what to blog about. Maybe I don't have enough to say to even justify the existence of a blog. It is funny that I've thought of a thousand things to blog about when I'm away from my computer...but the second I sit down and get serious about writing...Nothing. Nada. Not one interesting thought comes to mind.
Do you ever wonder if you are an interesting person? I wonder that all that time. I love talking to interesting people. Love engaging in stimulating conversation. Love listening to people with creative thoughts and fresh perspectives. Then I start to think...am I interesting? If I was listening to myself, would I begin to nod off? You'd have to be pretty boring to bore yourself, right?
Last night I decided that TV is killing my brain cells. Seriously. I always said (that was my first mistake...never "always say" anything...it will sneak up and bite you in the booty every time) that I'd never have a TV in my bedroom. I used to LOVE to read for at least an hour before I fell asleep each night. It was just good thinking time. Well, of course I fell into the trap and put a dumb TV in the bedroom. Now, I watch ridiculous shows, channel surf until I fall asleep. I've lost that end of the day quiet time to process my thoughts...and I feel it. I just get fatigued from all the NOISE in my life...yet I'm not disciplined enough to turn some of it off. I mean really, who is in control here? Maybe tonight I'll unplug and move the TV out of my room.
