Thank you, spring, for dresses and celebrities.

Today is sunny and in the 60s and I'm wearing a dress and boots. I couldn't be happier, even though I fell asleep on the couch last night and slept in thus prompting a semi-stressful morning.

I walked down to Union Square on lunch, like I have been doing for awhile now. It's about a mile away but I sit all day, it's nice out, I have a good book, and I like watching people.

But today, everyone and their dog was out. I mean that literally. Including Ethan Hawke and his dog. He walked by me on 21st street near Madison Square Park and was very involved in his phone conversation.

Anyway, it was really tough to find a place to sit down and read today that wasn't on the ground. Would it be weird to bring a lawn chair with me to work? Do they even have lawn chairs in New York?

Brittany makes stuff.

Check out my other blog that I just created at Alison's persistence.

Friday in the a-p-t.

Hmm...I spent my Friday night writing music. Two songs, AND I had time to whip up some brownies from scratch. I tell you truly, I am amazing.

I spent the first half of the night finishing up some stuff on the keyboard, then moved on back to my room and pulled out my guitar. It's been too long, guitar.

I added one song to myspace.

"Complete Me"

(I promise the song is not as lame as the title makes it sound...I think)

I've said terrible things
I've done horrible deeds
I was ashamed to tell you
I'm not what I seem
I'm not who they see

Tell me, Lord, that You'll fill the void
When I fall short
I need you, Lord, to fill the void
When I fall short
I'm halfway full
Complete me, complete me, Lord

I'm not good on my own
I'm a wretch on my own
I'm not ashamed to say
That I don't belong
I don't belong here

Tell me, Lord, that You'll fill the void
When I fall short
I need you, Lord, to fill the void
Where I fall short
I'm halfway full
Complete me, complete me, Lord

And isn't is just like You
Just like You
To fill my weary soul
Isn't it just like You
Just like You
Just like You
To mend my broken bones
And make me whole

Lord, please
Show us Your grace
Lord, please
Lead us with faith
We stand unashamed
For You are good to Your word

Tell me, Lord, You'll fill the void
When I fall short
I need you, Lord, to fill the void
Where I fall short
I'm halfway full
Complete me, complete me, Lord

I would like to thank Alison for letting me use her computer while mine is with the mac geniuses getting a new hard drive because mine crashed. We don't need to talk about it.

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALISON! I love you and I don't know what I'd do without you. I know we joke when we say that but...seriously.
