Disappointment

Lately I've been feeling really disappointed with myself. I want to be a better person, but I find myself constantly backsliding. I don't want to talk bad about other people to make me feel better about myself, be impatient when I'm driving, pout when I don't get what I want, be short with people when I'm in a bad mood, be judgemental, look down at my feet when I'm walking to avoid making eye contact with people, or tell little white lies....ever. I don't EVER want to do any of these things, but I do, and that's why I'm disappointed. Will I ever feel like I've made progress? Lord, I hope so. As a side note, why is "disappointed" not the opposite of "appointed?" Hmm...

Not too much going on in our neck of the woods right now. The Baby Tour 2006 continued last night with a visit to hospital to see some of our good friends, Ben and Kristi, who just had a beautiful baby girl named Kiera Morgan. It was really neat to see and hold a baby who was only 24 hours old! She was so precious. Afterwards we went out to dinner with some other friends at Macaroni Grill. I always love going there because they give you a clean white paper tablecloth and lots of crayons. It makes you feel like a kid again to be able to draw pictures (and try to write you name upside down like the waiters) while you wait for your food. I drew a snail, a monkey, and a picture of Elvis.

Next weekend we're heading up to Massachusetts for a wedding in Gloucester... can't wait!
