It's the Weekly Recap!

* Sunday morning I visited my friend Marie's church, and when I came home, I determined I needed one more day of emotional recovery (because apparently an entire Saturday in bed was not enough). So I did something I'd not done in probably ten years. I ordered a pizza. I couldn't even believe I did that. I sat in the fat chair, watched sappy Hallmark movies and savored pizza.
* Monday I was a guest on Mid-Morning. So strange to be a guest on my own show! Monday was also my WORST commute to date. We had nasty rain/thunderstorms/tornado warnings all day and the roads were HORRIBLE. I've never hydroplaned so much in my life. I finally had to say "better to be late to work than to be dead." I was neither late nor dead, in case you weren't sure. And then Monday night I went to a Mary Kay party, where I got a free dinner and won two rounds of Mary Kay bingo, resulting in a free bottle of purple nail polish and free lipstick. Bring that on!

* Tuesday was MUCH lovelier outside, which I appreciated. And there were some sweet moments in that day - including the chance to talk to a friend I thought I'd lost for good...I drank in every moment of that conversation. I hate losing friends, so the realization that I hadn't this time...was a gift.

* Wednesday was a FULL day. Started out with the fall book giveaway, which was SO much fun.

THEN - I got to have about 2 1/2 hours of hanging out with Lynne planning shows...and THEN I got to have dinner with Jenny...and THEN I got to see my friend Crystal for not only a hug - but a couple hours of talking. That was a good good day!

* Thursday Lynne and I did a tour de Ft. Wayne visiting some different places for show planning. We ended up with some of the work girls at the brand new Qdoba - for a free dinner! We had passes to eat during the training night. MAN that was some good food. (Everything tastes even better when it's free!) I am pretty sure that was my first time ever to eat at Qdoba!

* Friday was a fun day at work; we had in-studio guests, and I knew one of them, so that was a special treat. I wrapped up lots of paperwork details that had been just hanging out there, so I felt like I accomplished much. And then after work, 4 of us went to Smokey Bones for dinner. I'd never been there before (shocker) but I'll be back! YUM. We were there for a while, just laughing up a storm. I'm glad I enjoy hanging out with the work crowd OFF the clock as much as I do on the clock! This was my favorite part of dinner. Our waiter deposited this on the table:

And Diane said, "Bad cook tonight?" LOL!!! The garbage bag for the rib bones...but that's not what we all thought when we saw it!!

* Yesterday was a first for me! My first football game ever in my whole life. Phats and Cara took me to the Purdue/Iowa game. Clearly not the best weather in the history of the world, but we had such a fun time.

Books I'm Reading: Not much time to read this week. I did spend a small amount of time in Jesus Calling, Breaking Free, and One Thousand Gifts.

Favorite God Moment of the Whole Week: I loved Monday, during my interview with Lynne, when I was able to see how God brought my life full circle within this past year. I wrote about it earlier this week in more detail - but I did love that moment!

Update on Last Week's Goals: Fail again. Can you believe that? Two weeks in a row? :(

Goals for the Coming Week: Is it wrong to make a goal about making a goal? I need to think ahead to next year and how I need to revamp life. So much has changed and I need to catch up to the changes to make life more manageable. With the time off for the holiday, I'm hoping to have time to do that.
