Tasting – Burt’s Beeswax lip balm on my teeth.
Aching – In my sinuses.
Buying – Eats, Shoots and Leaves from Barnes & Noble.
Behaving – Like a procrastinating mom. It’s time to mix up some formula and I’m blogging instead.
Desiring – More time (and money) to spend at Barnes & Noble. I had forgotten how enticing their book selections are… and how aromatic their coffees are… and how comfy their furniture looks…
Planning – To spend a long weekend of relaxation with four old friends at a lake house next month.
Snuggling – With a blanketed Pookie on the front porch during a gentle rain.
Choosing – BBQ Chicken Pizza and Crème Brulee for dinner tonight.
Regretting – Too low an insulin dosage.
Living – As a stupid diabetic and a satiated diner. The two are quite compatible.

i like to talk about myself so here’s my ‘ing list:
Tasting – Sour cream & salsa blend.
Aching – In my toe.
Buying – Tommy Franks “American Soldier” and “Michael Moore is a Big, Fat, Stupid, White Man”.
(If I’ve read every Moore book, I think I can buy the opposite for once.)
Behaving – Unfortunately, like every other 22 year old male on earth…desperately trying to finish college.
Desiring – A dog. I really like dogs.
Planning – How to pay for my apartment, food, and amenities for a semester without working. (I’ve got 21 credits of school and volunteer work to do.)
Snuggling – With nobody! SWM, 22, Christian, seeks similar minded SF for friendship or long term relationship. Must have affinity for large, rusty, Suburbans. Bring dog.
Choosing – To not each lunch. All the better to savor ribs at ribfest tonight.
Regretting – 1) Wearing the pair of pants I’m wearing right now. 2) Coming to work today.
Living – As well as can be expected I guess.

I like to put off real work and socialize in the blog community, so I’m inging away:
Tasting – Big Red gum
Aching – My back is sore from sitting in this dumb chair too long
Buying – Original Broadway recording of “Once Upon a Mattress” (Woo, Carol Burnett!)
Behaving – A little irresponsibly, as I am posting on Rebecca’s blog rather than sorting piles and piles of product registration sheets (but honestly, which would you rather do?)
Desiring – Another 3 months of summer
Planning – A night on the town (if you count Spaghetti Works and The Bourne Supremacy as “on the town”)
Snuggling – I also have no one to snuggle with at the mo’. But I’m in a “that’s okay” mood. If I was supposed to have someone right now, I’d have someone. It’s not like I can miss God’s plan.
Choosing – to leave work early. I deserve it, right?
Regretting – being jerky to people I like.
Living – la vida loca.

Okay this looks like fun, so I’ll go ahead and jump on the bandwagon:
Tasting – a reminder that I haven’t yet brushed my teeth
Aching – in my triceps and upper back was a new machine that I tried last night at Prairie Life
Buying – a haircut and odds and ends at Target
Behaving – like the struggling Christian that I’ll always be ’till eternity! (I didn’t intend for that to rhyme)
Desiring – More money (like Rebecca’s desire), especially to buy frivilous little things to decorate my home more.
Planning – for our big, prospective move to St. Louis at the end of the year
Snuggling – with no one at the moment: Dave is at work and The Buddy (Calvin) is napping!
Choosing – to put off my leisurely, already-pushed-back-Saturday-morning-shower yet a few more minutes to post on Rebecca’s blog. What’s that smell?
Regretting – selfish mistakes I’ve made earlier in our marriage… thanks be for God’s grace and that He gives Dave the grace to forgive me.
Living – one day at a time

This looked like to good an idea not to try.
Listening – To Charity’s mix CD.
Preparing – To fly across Europe and back over the sea tomorrow.
Sucking – On a peppermint Lifesaver and feeling it disintegrate in my mouth.
Anticipating – Living life in Chapel Hill again.
Envisioning – walking through the cool air and under the changing leaves around campus this fall.
Fighting – The remnants of worried, frantic dream last night.
Struggling – To think clearly and hopefully.
Wondering – About how to be kind and thoughtful.
Stomping – At the bit to be moving about my regular life again after a ten week break.
Grinning – At the thought of having a big dog to romp with.
