type="text">a list</title><content type="html">Confession:&amp;nbsp;I really love lists. to-do lists, shopping lists, confession lists, all of them. probably weekly I make an extensive "to-do list" and lose it the next day {I find them all eventually}. so, I thought I would write a little list for you all. just some miscellaneous things you might not know about me. here goes. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;I don't have anything against the sun, but I like rainy weather better. {plus a valid excuse to curl up and read a book {or two}, right?}&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I'm an INFP {aka introvert and visionary}.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I like to think I can write, but I really can't. sometimes when I'm really inspired I can write a few sentences worth reading. ;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I have a slight obsession with sweatshirts. sadly, I moved from minnesota to texas not so long ago {okay, yes, it's been about 6 months}, so sweatshirts don't really work {hah, I wear them anyways}.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I'm a bit of a stalker/creeper {whichever sounds nicer}.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I'm barefoot most of the time. {random confession: one&amp;nbsp;Sunday I forgot my shoes at home so I was barefoot all day at chuch {I normally am anyways :p}&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Every night I find the constellation 'Orion {the hunter}' in the sky {unless it's cloudy, of course} because I remember the first night I found him in&amp;nbsp;minnesota, so I guess it's sentimental.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I love Pinterest. :) {&lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/lowiloveslatte/"&gt;my board&lt;/a&gt;}&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;I started a bucket list kinda recently! &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I won't be able to do many more than ten of these, but I've enjoyed doing it so far. :)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;I love typewriter-like fonts. a lot. ♥&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;I got my first pair of Converse from a garage sale, but I have yet to find a sale with any good books {okay, to be honest I would be more grieved for the person holding the sale because they are getting rid of an amazing book then unbelieveably happy that I found an amazing book{pardon me&amp;nbsp;for the run-on sentence there}.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I love cursive, but mine isn't very legible. yet.&amp;nbsp;;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I got a haircut a few weeks ago! I really miss my long hair {I'm going to grow it out again too}, but I am enjoying shorter hair. :) From my collar bone it's about 4 inches long {whereas before it almost touched the bottom of my rib cage {yes, I measure my hair using my bones}.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I really love the band Skillet. ♥&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I am finished. :)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;I hoped you enjoyed my slightly organized ramble here! :) I am also interested in a new blog design; I'm not sure if I'm going to attempt to work something out myself, or find a free designer, but if anyone knows of some good designers or some good tutorials, either are welcome {shoot me an email - spinningbarefoot [at] gmail [dot] com}! :) And if anyone is interested in donating prizes for a little blogoversary celebration, let me know! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;blessings and love,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x350/Marieaaanne/signlo.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img align="left" border="0" src="http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x350/Marieaaanne/signlo.png" style="border: 0px currentColor;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2460619905620451899-4554872324317464467?l=simplyme-lowie.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SpinningBarefoot/~4/H2quhoKeir8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://simplyme-lowie.blogspot.com/feeds/4554872324317464467/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2460619905620451899&amp;postID=4554872324317464467&amp;isPopup=true" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2460619905620451899/posts/default/4554872324317464467" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2460619905620451899/posts/default/4554872324317464467" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SpinningBarefoot/~3/H2quhoKeir8/list.html" title="a list" /><author><name>Lauren Elaine</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15670995429956935601</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="31" height="21" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7trJjlIFlH0/T47xkiq68SI/AAAAAAAACJs/OwPLwELhqIo/s220/IMG_0631edited.jpg" /></author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://simplyme-lowie.blogspot.com/2012/04/list.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460619905620451899.post-1741614252299443871</id><published>2012-04-17T21:20:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-04-23T11:29:33.143-05:00</updated><title type="text">a few things</title><content type="html">Hey everyone! So I've mentally made it a goal to post at the very least once a month, and this month I've been able to do a few more than that, so hopefully I can do once a week or something (granted I come up with something to write about, have enough brain power to write something interesting, and remember to post it). The last month or so has been rough for me, and last week I knew that God was using everything I was going through to draw me closer to Him. Let me tell you, it helped to remember that God had everything under control. :) I think it was last Saturday-ish when I picked up my bible for the first time in a while and just lost myself in the Word. Later that day I heard a song on the radio called "He said" by Group 1 Crew and I just love the chorus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"I won't give you more&lt;br /&gt;More than you can take&lt;br /&gt;And I might let you bend&lt;br /&gt;But I won't let you break&lt;br /&gt;And know, I'll never, ever let you go"&lt;br /&gt;Don't you forget what He said&lt;br /&gt;Don't you forget what He said, He said&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then during my Bible reading I found Hebrews 12:12-13 which says:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;12 So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;13 Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will  not fall but become strong.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I'm taking a new grip and I'm going to "&lt;em&gt;just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming,"&lt;/em&gt; if I may quote Dory. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yesterday my dear friend Katie sent me an email which read "2 Timothy 4:9" which says "Please come as soon as you can." so I think she may want me to come back and visit Minnesota or something. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, because I don't think you all have met him yet, this is Pascal. ♥&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9BZBFI4_66s/T44hZh3sT8I/AAAAAAAACJY/_ZJJXQEmBvg/s1600/IMG_0994edited.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9BZBFI4_66s/T44hZh3sT8I/AAAAAAAACJY/_ZJJXQEmBvg/s640/IMG_0994edited.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is a brilliant hide-and-seek player, wonderful friend, and a&amp;nbsp;stunning model.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;this really isn't the post i should begin rambling on, but lately i have been considering the value of all these things i do in my life. on judgement day, will the fact that i wrote a blog for almost two years {currently} have any worth? and more importantly than "do i want to?" is "does &lt;em&gt;God&lt;/em&gt; want me to?" but the funny thing is, i can't imagine my life without blogging. so anyway, i'm questioning where i spend my time, and blogging is definitely on the 'unsure' list. {and one of the deciding factors is if it isn't immediately on the 'yes' list, than they should probably be on the 'no' list.}&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;so, that's currently where i'm at. :) i hope you all are having a wonderful week!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;God bless,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt; Lauren Elaine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Courier New;"&gt;p.s. this is my 300th &lt;em&gt;published&lt;/em&gt;

Yes, I'm doing C. I have attempted B, but I foresee a bittersweet ending to the way-out-there-half-a-year-behind-book-challenge. Strangely enough, I found it harder to read a few short Sugar Creek Gang books (just for the numbers I added ten to my little &lt;strike&gt;stack&lt;/strike&gt; mountain) than to read a few great&amp;nbsp;200+ page books (such as Waterfall, Unlocked, and The Waiting). So, I thought, why on earth am I wasting time trying to read these when I can read longer books three times as fast? (you see, I still haven't finished a single one, and they're only 100-some pages, for pete's sake) From now on I'm going to read what I want to (sounds strange when you say it that way, doesn't it?), and I'm not going to pressure myself. See, I have quite a bit of stress in my life. So I'm going to read as much as I normally do (since sleep is quite valuable, and i can just&amp;nbsp;start this again in 2 weeks - not!), and if I finish, great! If not,&amp;nbsp;no biggie.&lt;br /&gt;Now what was I talking about? Ah, yes. I am informally inviting anyone who wants to to join me in the 52 Weeks | 52 Verses challenge. Yes, it's somewhat short notice, but I found it quite easy to come up with 52 great scriptures&amp;nbsp;that I want to memorize.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you'd like to join, the blog is &lt;a href="http://52weeks52verses.blogspot.com/"&gt;*here*, &lt;/a&gt;and it has a lot of helpful information about the challenge. I will be (as often as possible) posting the verses I am memorizing on here. If you do join, let me know! :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Pt4K-fFgtU/TWRNVPRhhfI/AAAAAAAABMI/EilRT0p-fM4/s1600/IMG_5246edited.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="418" oda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Pt4K-fFgtU/TWRNVPRhhfI/AAAAAAAABMI/EilRT0p-fM4/s640/IMG_5246edited.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;As you all know, Christmas is fast approaching. I find myself asking &lt;em&gt;Where on earth did 2011 go?&lt;/em&gt;Goodness, I just got used to writing 2011 on everything, and soon I'll have to learn to write 2012. &lt;em&gt;2012? &lt;/em&gt;0_0 I also can't believe I'm 13. I'm sure my parents feel the same way, but wasn't I just 5 years old yesterday? Compliments of Shutterfly (you all know how much I love it!), my mom and I ordered like 200 free&amp;nbsp;family pictures recently. We have oodles of pictures, but the newest ones are from September, since our camera is broken. Which, by the way, is actually fixed, and we just have to pick it up and pay for the repairs. I really hate typing in all caps, but to fully explain how happy I am, I. CAN'T. WAIT. TO. GET. IT. BACK. :) So, we got lots and lots of pictures and they bring back SO MANY memories. And besides that, there are all the seasonal memories&amp;nbsp;from last year. I can't believe it has been almost&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;one year&lt;/em&gt; since my dad left. Today I found a picture I took last winter of him, standing in front of a U-Haul truck, being my dad (translation: acting embarrassing. although&amp;nbsp;a few weeks ago&amp;nbsp;when&amp;nbsp;he stuck his arms straight out like a 'plane' on the escalator&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;definitely&lt;/em&gt; topped this.).

to&amp;nbsp;dress up as witches and ghosts and vampires and devils and&amp;nbsp;many other horrible things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none;

width: 126px;" width="63" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for the last two years we went to the pumpkin party at our church. even that is so twisted. really. but as the kids got older my parents kind of gave in. so the first year, there was quite a commotion over what they were going to be. i can't even remember. anyways, we went. there was a moonwalk and games. food and candy. last year, i helped the youth group prepare for the party. this year, our new church doesn't do halloween; for good reasons. i haven't done&amp;nbsp;much research into halloween. i've read&amp;nbsp;quite a few stories, and i don't know if i want to dig any further.&amp;nbsp;halloween is a pagan celebration of the devil. those costumes, that you have so much fun dressing your babies up in every year? wandering around trick-or-treating with friends? even passing out candy at the door! they have been so wrapped up,&amp;nbsp;most people don't know how it started.&amp;nbsp;research it for yourself and see what halloween is &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; about. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so as i sit here in the dark, munching on a apple pie from mcdonald's&amp;nbsp;and typing viciously, ignoring the sqeals and shouts from outside, i'm quite sickened. so, as i normally do when i am depressed, i edited pictures. which, in a way, makes me even more depressed. see, the pictures i have been working on are from spring. months and months and months ago; but in a way, it was simply yesterday that i wandered around in a sweater snapping pictures of the buds and blooms. so, on a happier note, i shall share a few pictures with you. Goodnight, my friends!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both;
