Taco Tuesday, and doing all the things!

I don't feel like having tacos today. Blah. What's wrong with me? What I feel like is running. Runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin'.... I have to be in a swimsuit really soon and I don't feel ready. Tacos surely won't help either.

Last night I had a sweet nap, a baked sweet potato (over sweet conversation with some of my favorite sweet people), a sweet soak in a lavender bath, and a sweet bedtime. Ahhhhhh.....

I made it to the gym this morning before dawn for official week 2 of crazy workout.

Pushups, lay down pushups, medicine ball squats, tricep dips, mountain climbers, bicycles, straight leg situps w/twist, and straight leg situps. It didn't seem all that difficult, and I did modify a tiny bit to keep from bending my toe (you know, the SUP incident), but man did we sweat! Our muscles just didn't seem to want to do anything. I haven't felt that worthless and lazy in a while....it was awesome!!!!

 Run because...


I'm starting Run for God tomorrow evening with a group from my church. This is so exciting. Sunday morning on my way to service I confronted myself about not getting involved. You remember how much I used to do with the church:
  • praise team 
  • women's ministry
  • VBS
  • building ministry
  • small groups
  • Wednesday Night Live
  • Angel Tree, etc. 
I haven't joined anything at my new church, and it's been leaving a hole in there. A hole in my soul. A soul hole. So I confronted myself about it, and was ready to make a move; after service I planned to see what was on the list of available classes/groups, and pick one. Buuuuut, I got to talking too much and maybe sorta kinda forgot. Oh, but God is good. He is way ahead of me. He sent two wonderful chickadees my way, inquiring if I was in fact a runner, and if I'd like to join their Wednesday night women's bible study/running club! GAH!!!! This thrills me in ways I can't describe. I'll make R4G a regular blog update subject so you can tag along. Part of the group is planning a 1/2 marathon in September, so I'm going to train with that pace group. Eeeek! 1/2 #2 for 2015, here I come!!!!

...and I have a broken toenail just in time to start. Satan will always give us roadblocks won't he? With God on my side, I will prevail. If He is for me, who can be against me??

STUFF!



I managed to eat breakfast today, turkey bacon and waffles. ...with whipped cream...









I found this little gal on the floor in our office lounge. Strange, I didn't see any children in the waiting area yesterday....













I've been watching Parks and Recreation on my tab lately. I forgot how much I LOVE that series. I restarted at the beginning of season 1. I might not have trouble occupying myself while my dude is away. Is it sad that I'd spend my free time under a blankie watching reruns on a tablet? ....NAH!!! Yay adult!

I may get to watch some djimbe on Thursday night. I'm going to visit the parental units Friday night. Brother and SIL have invited me to go on a float trip Saturday. Sunday I'll get to have lunch with the fam, and then maybe some SUPing with my gym rat buddy.

I also need to mow the lawn, clean out the refrigerator, and locate my travel strainer (for hair gel, duh).

Oh! And I get my new front tooth next week.

Wow! I may not have done all the things, but it looks like I have a lot of things to be doing! Get ready blog readers, it is about to be ON.

      Tan does look good. You will be more tan than me this year! I don't think that has ever happened.

      Now, get off your butt and workout!

A feeling on a Friday

Sometimes you just have to trust God and go with it. I'm so thankful for the opportunities I've gotten during my life, good and bad, that have shaped me into the chick that I am. I want to radiate the love of Christ through patience, understanding, and hospitality. I think helping and giving are in my bones. I get so excited when I know of an opportunity to lend a hand, lend a shoulder, lend a room, lend a car, whatever it may be. It's what Jesus did, and what He wants us to WANT to do. Oh, but my little mind gets in the way. Don't think for a second that it's easy to give out of lack. It may be true that the less fortunate give a higher percentage of themselves than those well-off, but, that doesn't mean that it is done without worry from time to time. I've tithed BIG amounts, and right before I do, I always worry about that time coming when I'll say "oh, if only I had held on to that money". My stomach knots and my heart races. Then I

Growing up, self-tanners, ...and doing all the things!!!!

Do you ever make lists of things you need to do? I don't mean things like stopping for gas, or buying a new nail polish. I mean BIG things. Grown up things. The kind of things that you have to do on your lunch break when the business is open. Things that require legal jargon, or measurements, or notaries. I've had a pretty overwhelming list for the past 4 months. I'm finally getting to the end of it, which feels good. Looking back however, I've noticed how much I ran from these tasks. Decisions that can change the course of your life need to be well thought out, and executed with importance. I took the time to research them, organize the plan, and then.....I postponed. I didn't delay because I didn't want to face them. I didn't delay because it caused an emotional downturn. I delayed simply because "I don't wanna!". I wanted my mom to do it, or my teacher, or my big sister. I don't wanna go talk to the mean man behind the desk. I don

What's the future Wednesday, just give me cherries and tell me I'm pretty, and stuffs

Deep conversations with friends about the future Why do I do this to myself? I really think God puts this stuff on my heart so often because He is trying to get my attention. Why mine? I have no idea, and sometimes, I don't want to find out. How scary (and amazing, and scary) to think that He would want MY attention for anything. Gives me the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps. What do I do when I'm confused after talking to God for an hour? Consult my friend that is struggling to understand His plan too! God probably loves those conversations. I really mean that. I know He loves to see us talking about pleasing Him. But....we aren't so good at it. The good news is, He already knows that. It doesn't make it ok to just put Him on the back burner when we are unsure of our next move, but it does make it ok that we are imperfect. Whew! Recently we have been discussing where and upon what we should place our life focus. We, as humans, like to make plans for our futur
