Evil Queen

When I want to be misleading or not tell the whole truth, I often think- let your yes be yes and your no be no, anything else is of the devil. A verse I heard a long time ago that really stuck with me. But after finding it in the bible it actually says...

But let your'Yes' be'Yes' and your'No' be'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one. Mathew 5:37 (WEB)

Similar but not the same. Oh well. Hope that's not saying to keep your words to a minimum.

Anyway, I always try to tell the truth. If I'm tempted to be dishonest or feel like I should lie- I think of the damage that lies create. I know that being honest is always better and knowing you're going to be honest often keeps you from behaving badly in the first place. Not to say you have to shout from the roof tops (or in your blog) everything you're thinking but... but when asked or if it is pertinent information, people can count on me to give it to them straight. That's why I HATE when people doubt me about my sincerity (a certain person comes to mind, don't worry she's not reading this). Anywho...

I do well with the honesty thing EXCEPT in the morning. In the morning I lie. I will tell the Cap I'm just waiting for him to leave before I get up, that I'm up but I'm just cold so I'm warming up first, that I already hit snooze and will get out of bed as soon as the alarm goes off again because I already know what I'm wearing. WHATEVER. In the morning NOTHING matters but more sleep. I become so sleep greedy that all good sense goes out the window. I know the importance of allowing time for the unexpected, starting the day out right, using your time wisely but...

Last night I went to bed fairly early because I know that getting into a better routine is very very important (especially to the Cap). So I asked the Cap to make sure I'm up when he leaves to which he replied- I always do. He does? Oh yeah, he does. See Evil Queen takes over in the morning- almost squashing Good Queen's very existence. I really have lil' control over what she says and does. It is scary. But I have a plan to defeat the dark side of my self.

I always have a plan. Instead of jumping straight into the shower at the last minute from oversleeping, I'm going to wake up earlier and get on the computer. That will lessen the time I spend on the computer in the evening (though that should improve, I've dealt with all my downloaded pictures as far as renaming and putting them on the blogs) and now all I have left is to finish up my (I mean Jack's) E-thanks. Once I save everything to CDs I'll be set, and then it will just be maintenance from there. Anyway, I love computer time and I think this will be a good way to start my day.

What's your evil side?
