I have high hopes for today. One, because it’s no longer a full moon, so hopefully the weirdness around the office (and the stores) will calm down. (Note: I don’t actually believe the full moon affects anything, I’m not a weirdo.) ……..
I am wearing jeans, which I love. I love being able to wear comfortable clothes to the office. I also am not wearing shoes (at the moment) but instead am disregarding any carpet dwelling amoeba and wandering aroudn barefooted. If only there was a meeting to go to like this.
I am drinking my last vanilla latte (for a while.) But don’t be sad! Latte’s will be back in my life when my body no longer demands them.
Aaron and I had a good long talk about once again, redoing the way we play. Instead of constantly feeding our cravings for food, entertainment and boredly wandering around, we are scheduling meals, workout times, and bible reading. I dont’ know why I have such a hard time reading my bible at the end of the day, but I always do! A friend in college said that the Enemies greatest weapon in getting us to not read scripture is boredom, and tiredness. I get both, and am praying God will eradicate them if I schedule some time.
This weekend I have: laundry, a movie I want to see (The Kingdom, has some amazing actors in it), a friends bridal shower, editing of Aaron’s newest chapters for the book he is working on, some drawing with my new pens, and possibly some cooking with the husband. We make excellent kitchen partners, as long as someone remembers to shut the refrigerator door. (Aaron seems to think the open fridge is the best way to cool the apartment, and it drives me crazy.)
I hope everyone has a fulfilling yet eventful yet peaceful weekend.

Just a note on our steps to good time management (as much as I hate rhetoric we might as well call it what it is). We have really been trying to nail down sticking to our budget and doing pretty well. This is just the next step to a focused life.
Rather than feel discouraged about how poorly I’ve done things in the past, it is much easier to tackle this kind of discipline by focusing on what changes you can make today and tomorrow to get on the right track.
I should be a motivational speaker.

Do they get paid?

Funny, I was thinking about the same thing this morning…… I’ve been ‘given’ this season and I want to embrace the time I have and use it wisely…
I long to be with the Lord in quiet, but find myself distracted with the “things that need to get done”. And while it is true there are things that I’m responsible to do, they don’t need to take up a huge chunk of time. Simple orginzation will allow everything to get accomplished without taking an entire day!!

Hmmm… I support your desire to be a motivational speaker.
Mom- Maybe if you lived closer, we could organize each other!

If I move back home will someone organize me?

Yes of course. But you have to buy your own label maker.
