it's almost midnight. time sure flies by.

anyway, i just saw the last hour of the final "for love or money." i've never seen the show before today, but when you have co-workers who get together for "girls' night" every monday for reality shows, it's not too hard to figure out what it's all about (one of the girls even applied for a chance to be on the show. apparently, she got pretty far, but not far enough). well, this particular show is about fifteen girls and one man. these girls had been selected to live in a house together for a chance to be chosen as the love of rob's life. rob would go on dates with these ladies and eliminate one by one until he was finally down to the last two. the twist is that these girls were initially told that they would win a million dollars if chosen by rob. two days before the final pick, the two remaining girls were told that they'd have to make a choice between the money and rob (love) in the event they are chosen.

i must say it was pretty sad to watch these girls struggle with whether they should choose rob or the million dollars. as many of you can imagine, the "lucky" girl chose the money. i wonder if that was even a struggle at all. if it was, i'd bet only because of the fear of being broadcasted on national tv as a gold digger. it was sad because it seemed to represent what has become standard and ordinary in today's world. although i strive more each day to know and enjoy God's love myself, i couln't see a greater misconception of love than what i saw on that show.

today was a long long day. i had to get up not too long after the sun came up to go to a client's site in bethesda. i had been dreading the thought of being stuck in traffic on my way to and fro bethesda every day of this week, but praise God, my senior decided that we can do the same work in the baltimore office starting tomorrow. phew. the drive today wasn't too bad though i did feel my eyes closing on me several times in the morning. chris tomlin kept me company in my car, so i actually enjoyed the long drive. ;-)

y'know, i should shop at target more often. they had a really cute bag that i got for 7 dollars. i wasn't too happy when i saw the sunblock lotion that i got at rite aid for two more dollars than target was selling them for.

alright, my bed is calling me. thank God for a rest that comes so sweetly after a long day of work.
