A 'me' night

I've been in Ohio for 5 days. Today was the conference. It was fine. Then, tonight, I got ready...dressed, in my blue shirt and jeans, and trying to look cute...left for dinner at what I thought was Dave and Buster's. Come to find out, it wasn't. It was supposed to be this place called Gameworks which is right downtown on the river where the Reds Stadium is...and there was a game tonight. By the time I realized where I was going, realized there was zero parking because all the lots said "lot full"...I then turned around, headed back toward Kentucky, pulled into an outback, and had a peaceful dinner by myself. My phone then died, so I had no contact with any human being for 45 minutes other than my super nice waitress. It was wonderful. I enjoy being around people, really...but...I needed my downtime. I realized it when I was leaving downtown and felt like crying because I have been super out going all week lon gwith my happy cheerful, friendly face on. And I just wanted to come back to my Hampton Inn and eat my take-out cheesecake. (It was delicious. I didn't finish it all).
I can't wait to get back to North Carolina tomorrow. I have a 7am flight, and then heading to mom's, then to try on bridesmaids dresses for Shae, and then to run errands and somehow get everything done I need to in like 6 hours.
I need a vacation.

Things...

Millie Hollomon photography. Absolutely amazing. Her blog is milliehollomonblog.com. My old roomate Rebecca is a photographer for her company now. Millie photographed Rebecca's wedding, that I was in - and her photography is just amazing. I feel like I should say this! Shelly Moore Band. Shelly was also my roomate in college also - with Rebecca. We had a house on Swift. It was an amazing house. We had acoustic sessions all the time, and shag parties on the deck covered with white lights, and lots and lots of singing. Shelly has a band, and it's pretty wonderful. She praises Jesus with her voice and Mike's guitar. www.shellymoore.com . You should buy her cd. Charlotte South Fellowship Where I hang out, praise Jesus, and learn more about Him.

Hooray for Chacos.

I'm buying Chacos. And I'm excited. There was a time in my life when I thought people who wore these were weird hippies or something. But then I'd be the one rafting with soggy tennis shoes that I couldn't wear ever again running with decent support. Then came Josh Hinton and Margaret Sanders and now...I am going to buy my very own. Haha. The older I get, the more I want to be outdoors doing stuff. I've always known I'm not a "corporate world super office type"...although I've held two of those jobs, and held my own might I say! But, I am growing more to love hiking and nature and water and well, all the things God made that we haven't ruined yet. So...Chacos here I come!

I think I offend people

Truth: I think I offend people. Some people just get on my nerves. While I realize this is not a "godly woman" kind of comment...sometimes that is how I react to people. I get annoyed when people speak condescendingly to me. I get annoyed when others question my word. I get annoyed when people lie. I get annoyed when people try to tell what they are learning from the Lord to others as though that is what THEY should be learning at that exact same season of life. These things...ugh. I get annoyed when people who have kids talk to people who don't have kids like they are stupid or ignorant. Same goes with married people and single people. I cannot be the only person that struggles with this. And I try really hard to filter what I say...so usually I'm only thinking that I'm annoyed but occasionally it pops right out of my mouth before I have time to catch it. I think as I've gotten older I've gotten more and more jaded towards certain things. I love people, I...
