* Monday afternoon was SO gorgeous that I ran outside again. Who would have thought this would be my February life!?!? Then I hunkered down to watch The Voice...because I love that show! And my favorite thing...look what Picaboo delivered to my doorstep!! I've had this book done since last summer but I had to wait for a sale to order it. It did not disappoint.
* Tuesday morning, Lynne arrived at work and informed me we were going to have a full studio of guests. That had never happened since I started working at the station! So I learned to install the mics and we had assigned seating and I used every single slider on the board for the first time in my (granted very short) radio career. It went well but I was one nervous girl for the first half of the show!
* Wednesday morning I had one slickery commute. I'd heard rumor we might get some snow but it was nothing more than a heavy dusting...but the roads were SLICK. I was thankful to arrive in one piece! I helped Lynne host the Spots and Spotlights show (and did NOT add to my blooper reel) and that evening, spent some serious time working through some things with the Lord. Nothing bad...just much needed.* Thursday morning I walked in the door to my office and found an iced tea awaiting me. (Just as coffee is required to make me functional prior to lunch, tea is required to keep me activated until the commute home has ended.) What a fun surprise to find on my desk! Thanks, Amy! And speaking of my desk...it got a new adornment. Gary from my parents' church read my blog post about the impossibility of finding anything personalized with Rebekah, and he made this for my desk. Thank you, Gary!
* Friday evening, I sat down to write again. This chapter I'm trying to write...well...you want to know how long I've been working on it? TWO YEARS. I couldn't get through it. I believe God was/is trying to teach ME something through it and this lesson has been taking a while to unfold...but I also believe I'm on the brink of unearthing it. Once I got going on the writing, I wrote until 1:15 in the morning and had no idea it was that late!
* Saturday morning I had a hot date with the tire store to get a full set of new tires. Oh my word. There went my retirement!!! WOWZA those suckers are expensive. While they were taking care of that for me, I went next door for some coffee with my new (as in I met her for the first time that day) friend Claire. Her mom and I have gotten to know each other through the blog and email and she came to meet me for coffee! How fun!
One Thousand Gifts - One morning this week I awakened with some unrest in my heart and before I could even become coherent enough to pray, the song Peace Be Still came on the radio. I rolled over and smiled...how good of God to bring exactly what I need while I was yet too tired to pray!
Pinterest Inspiration - Well, my friends, it was a Pinterest FAIL this week. I wanted to make a cheesecake for my friend Cindy, so I found this one on Pinterest and thought it looked like a scrumptious winner:
When I got ready to make it, I realized the recipe was for a 10 inch pan and mine wasn't that big. Worried that it would be a disaster, I decided to use the "classic cheesecake" recipe included in the box with the pan. Then I planned to make the praline topping. So I did...and burned that bad boy to one reeking mess. So I took the classic cheesecake, sprinkled some chopped pecans on top and took it to work. So...Pinterest inspired me and from there...it had nothing to do with Pinterest.
Organization Confession: Well the house is being shown tomorrow, so I was more focused on massive cleaning than keeping up with organization. But I am still throwing stuff away at a rapid pace and am almost caught up on the calendar!
