It's a Beautiful OOOOO(day)HHHHHHH!

Why do I always do this to myself?

I'm the type of person that thrives when a lot is going on. I'm mostly an extrovert, but I also tend to get stressed out when I don't have "me time." The past few weeks have been a bit out of control (as I say oh so often). I've been running from one activity to another and hardly have time to clean my room or just read or even just watch a few of my favorite TV shows! Last weekend, I dragged Eric to ACU homecoming. That is a whirlwind trip in itself. Since I'll be out of the country for Thanksgiving, last weekend was a time for me to spend with my family (needless to say, that was a bit much for Eric, but he survived!).

This weekend, though, has been a little different. I always enjoy staying in Dallas for the weekend because it typically means I can sleep in (a luxury I don't get during the week). Of course, I had errands to run, but I have carved a few precious moments out of my day to relax. As we all know, based on my last post (long, long ago), I cannot connect to the internet from home at the moment. I don't want my laptop to go to waste (thanks for the Christmas present last year, Mom and Dad), so I figured I should remedy the lack of use.

I assumed the business center at my apartment complex would have WIFI. I got everything set up today and got settled and comfy. I turned on my laptop and.....there was no connection!

Therefore, I took some much needed advice from Eric and tried to find a place around my complex to "borrow" the web from another unsuspecting neighbor. I found my place! I have been sitting next to the pool (in the shade) for the past hour or so. God has blessed me with perfect weather as well!

I am rejuvenated. I love spending time outside and I've been failing to find opportunities to do that in the city. But, alas, I need to rush off to my next activity.

This one's a fun one, though. In the spirit of tradition, I'm putting on a 42 Tournament with our Singles' class at church and the Hearts In Action class (older folks, but not too old). I hope it goes well and people have fun. My main purpose was to get to know some other folks in our church because oftentimes we singles can stick to ourselves. Goodness, there's enough new people to meet each week as it is.

So, I'll try to blog more. Like Kelly said last weekend, she keeps up with me from Africa through this boring blog, so I'd hate for her to think I've fallen off the face of the earth!

Until next time...
