Not my week for getting up it seems. Or rather I seem to get up around 8, then decide to try for more sleep, then end up sleeping too long. Guh. Only had an hour for lunch. Thought I'd be meeting Mom and Nathan for lunch, but turned out to be mom Zack and Lacey. Nifty. Went to Chili's - had yummy soup. Had a bit of a debate/conversation on abortion, a much for lunch conversation, partially my bad. But I couldn't help it. I don't feel like going into details of what transpired, but maybe I'll come back and add them in later. I really have a love hate relationship with religion. I love religions, I find them fascinating, and at their core, I greatly appreciate what they offer their followers. However in real/daily life its hard to get past all the negative things that occurs due to religion. I hate to see people, especially young people who are just forming their ability to think and rationalize for themselves, hold to beliefs handed to them by their church - particularly non-religious beliefs passed off as 'christian'. I have no problem if people truly look into these beliefs and find that their own opinions, thoughts, ideals correspond to their church's, but don't just adhere to some stand on a topic simply because someone in your church said so - that someone of your faith should believe this way or that. If we must take a religious approach consider this - God gave you a highly advanced brain, capable of critical thinking and reasoning. He must have done this for a reason, ie to USE it. Go learn, research all the aspects of the topic, and make sure you come to the conclusion based on your own reasoning and feelings, not based on something someone else told you to think. So anyways I got a bit on my soap box. Poor niece and nephew. At least they know how i am, and sat there and smiled politely till I talked myself out. Mom got a little defensive, i think that's the closest i have ever gotten to debating my mother. It was a bit unpleasant. I much prefer it when we are on the same side of an argument/topic.

Had to tutor in Clovis, remembered my laptop cord this time. Came home, was rather early. Planned on doing some sewing. I have a skirt and a shirt idea floating around in my head - I've be meaning to manifest it for some time, but I ended up falling asleep on the couch. Around 11 I stumbled off to bed. Then David and Corwin showed up. We ended up watching a movie David just bought called TomCats, was pretty darn funny. Now i'm debating if i should sleep or do that sewing. After all new cloths would mean I can put of laundry for one more day - I don't know if i have anything clean to wear tomorrow otherwise. Ah decisions decisions...
