The Last Thing I...

Thank you so much for your kind words about the podcast! I was grateful to hear from those of you who missed it, but I/we also appreciate your grace and understanding as we seek the Lord for the best use of our time! (Also: last week wasn't our most fun week of our whole lives, so you probably really didn't miss anything.)

Today is our 56th monthiversary, so that calls for extra celebration, and I want to pause here to thank Ryan for another beautiful and fun month together! I asked him the other day how it's possible that the first 34 years of my life crawled by, but the almost five years we've been together have flown at speeds that defy all measurement!

I had another post planned for today, but I read Callie's post yesterday and that looked more fun, so I'm stealing her idea and using it today! (She said it was okay!!)

Last thing I ate: Raw almonds and semi-sweet chocolate chips. It's my emergency dessert when I have no dessert and need something sweet. Unfortunately that was almost five hours ago. I really don't like to go five hours without eating. Or five minutes. (But I do.)

Last thing I drank: Glass of water. I'm becoming quite the water guzzler these days. My favorite method is drinking from a glass jar with tons of ice inside.
Last text I sent: An hour ago, I texted Ryan, who was still at work, to tell him I planned to try for a quick nap. I had a tiny headache that I thought a nap might help. And perhaps it would have, but apparently I wasn't tired. That was disappointing.

Last book I read: I need to start my book for this week...today, preferably! The last book I read was Irene Hannon's almost-released Dangerous Illusions. It's the first in a new series and releases the first of October. Go ahead and put it on your list. You'll want it.
Last time I laughed. The answer to this question is ALWAYS with Ryan. Today it was when he came home from work and "walked like Mac." (He has this goofy old-man shuffle that is HILARIOUS to behold. We call it the Mac walk, and I don't remember now if it's because we actually knew an old man named Mac that walked that way or if it just reminded us of how someone named Mac might walk, but it is SO FUNNY. I can be in the worst mood ever, and 3 seconds of the Mac walk will cure me!)

Last thing I bought. I met my friend Olivia for coffee, so that means my last purchase was a latte and two cookies. I ate half of each cookie and brought the other halves home to Ryan. This proves my love for him, because we all know: Bekah doesn't share food!!

Last movie I saw. We often have movies on the TV that I don't actually watch. They're just background noise. But the last one we sat and watched was called Passengers. It was kind of an odd plot line for us, but it was set in the future, and a space ship full of passengers were being transported to another planet (galaxy?) to resume life there. It would take over 100 years to make the trip, so they were put in hibernation mode until they arrived, but one of the hibernation pods failed and a passenger awakened decades too soon. Intriguing movie!

Last TV show you watched. I'm "watching" a show on the DIY channel right now called Stone House Revival. It's a home rehab show, but I'm not really officially watching it to have any idea what's going on.

Last thing you Googled. I actually use Pinterest the way most people use Google, and I'm sorry to say my last search was for desserts. LOL!!! Someone has a sweet tooth today!

Hop in and play along if you'd like!! :)

I eat raw almonds and chocolate chips, too, for a quick snack. If I have dried cranberries, I add some of those too, to really (try to) convince myself that I've eaten something healthy :)

Yay, I'm glad you joined in! You made me laugh about being disappointed about not being able to nap, haha! Sounds like me. Passengers sounds really interesting!

Bekah, love that you copied Callie's list since it is the sincerest form of flattery...so I'll copy yours. Last thing I: ate - salmon with cucumber/roasted red pepper chutney; drank - water (it's right here with me now); texted - response to an invite to a retiree get together next weekend; book - Queen Elizabeth's Women/biography of the women influential in the life of Queen Elizabeth I; laughed - joke with Steve last evening; movie - War for Planet of the Apes (Steve's a series fan); TV show - reruns of Columbo; googled - how to make origami Christmas ornaments. Isn't life just too excited for a retiree?? Lois

Tamar - thank you!!! :)

Maria - CRANBERRIES!!! What a great idea! I hadn't thought of that!

Callie - I live for naps right now. We're doing these modified Crossfit workouts and they are KILLING ME!!

Lois - Retirement sounds GLORIOUS. You well deserve every moment, and I love seeing you thrive in it!
