Kinda Crazy!

So in my silence...here's what's been happening in Bekahland

* We are O-ficially in our busy season at work. In fact, I'm taking a fast break from returning to the office tonight just to pop in and say hi. The phones have been ringing like crazy, I'm pretty sure lists now grow out of my actual person, and appointments abound. BUT - I'm so thankful to have a job!

* I did an UNHEARD OF thing on Monday and took half a sick day. I know! Sit down! Shut up! As most of you know, I do NOT believe in sick days. Much like Mark Lowry's mother, my philosophy is unless you're throwing up, you get to work. Unfortunately at noon on Monday, I had to halt my standing Monday lunch date about ten minutes into our meal. My sweet friend rushed me home because I thought I was going to have to do the dreaded V word. She really was so wonderful. We got in the car and she said, "Do you need air?" I said "NO...YES!" So she frantically switched air on and off as suited my need that second. She turned off the main road when I made wild gestures to move NOW! She even knew to just stop talking because I needed to focus on NOT throwing up in her car. I decided that was close enough even for Mark Lowry's mother, and stayed home the rest of the day.

* Fortunately I was much better by Tuesday and guess what, guess what, guess what!?!!?!? The Sonic is open again! It opened Monday but you know the rule...too sick for work...too sick for strawberry cream slushes! But yesterday was beautiful, so a couple friends from work went with me and we sat out at a picnic table and indulged in amazing Sonic-ness.

* Today I became the owner of a pack n play. I know! Sit down! Shut up! And no, I don't have an announcement. :) A friend of mine is having a baby soon and I wanted to have a bed for baby at Aunt Bekah's house, so I now own one.

* In keeping with the family sickness, my Dad spent the night in the hospital last night. He became ill while having the tires rotated yesterday (I can see how that could lead to illness) and my Mom had to go get him and take him to the emergency room. He had some tests, including a cat scan - which revealed he is, in fact, NOT having kittens - spent the night and came home today. And by came home, I mean drove himself home. Mark Lowry's mother would be proud.

* So that's a quick catch-up on life in Bekahland. It has been great here lately. God is GOOD. He always is...that's not new. But His blessings have overflowed extra lately and I want to be sure to thank Him out loud!
