Already forgetting...

... so I'm already forgetting this whole 'blogging' thing. Maybe it gets better with time? Or maybe this blog will live in eternity with two postings.

So we had L's baptism Thursday evening. I'm not sure how I feel about it... on one hand, I'm reassured that this traditional step has been done (as all the family is as well) but on the other hand, it seems as though that's all it is - a tradition. I don't know that a baby is able to make that commitment to God. And I'm not sure that I believe that God needs that commitment...? As much as the sermon that night preached going to church and having your world revolve around religion - I don't know. It seems like things like being a good, caring person and avoiding sins, and raising children in the Christian spirit, should be the 'biggies', instead of going to church every week and simply repeating words because "that's what you do". I don't know...

Darn Sylvia Browne books! I think I'm switching to that religion, it definitely fits my idea of the 'why' of life. We're all here, bettering our spirit. Although if that's so, I might be a young spirit...! Knock on wood, but this far I have not met any large challenges or tests.

I also sent out my grad school application (#1, anyway). Hopefully two of my three references will agree to fill out a recommendation form, since I kind of wrote their names in without asking them.... oops! I have two others in progress, but this is the one I really want. Actually, I lied I did not sent it out - it's still sitting on the table as our post office is a lazy bum. Long story... so maybe I'll walk over there soon....

Oh man is this ever boring. A friend has a blog and it's sooo much more fun! I swear she had been smoking something most of the time when writing her posts, or else she is just a deep, free spirit - but I loved it!

But, I guess this is my life....
