It's the Weekly Recap!

* Last Sunday I had lunch at church, which was much fun. I hardly ever get to see my church buddies anymore, because my new schedule keeps me from attending too many things that happen there. So it was great to sit around with them and laugh and have a great time! Then I came home and spent the rest of the day curled up on the fat chair watching all the Oscar hype. (I'm such a sucker for award shows.) And check out what showed up in my little yard!
* Monday I helped Lynne host the manners show...which was a lot of fun! The rest of the day was pretty normal...nothing huge happened. That night I curled up in front of the fireplace with my online house hunting extravaganza and tried to make some sense of what I'm looking for (in the event that I ever get to move in my lifetime).

* Tuesday evening I got to have dinner with the girls from work - which was SO much fun. Really enjoyed being included in their get-together! (And it was fun to eat someplace I don't get to go all that often.) And just in case you weren't sure how the ladies of Mid-Morning get everything done...this is how! (Well, the Peppermint Patty part is off limits for me now...but the iced tea...)
* Wednesday was the craziest day of the entire week. That was the day I was supposed to have lunch plans but my friend had an accident on the way to meet me! But then you already read about that. I had dinner at IHOP with Jenny and ate blueberry pancakes - which counts as fruit, right? :) And look at this really cool cloud/sun situation I saw driving home. Doesn't it look like an angel?

* Thursday night I went house hunting! I hadn't been out looking at houses in real life since before Christmas. My realtor gets 8000 gold stars for patience with me! We looked at four houses and I really loved two in particular. I know that the choice of a house in Fort Wayne is going to boil down to what's available when I'm able to move...and it might be none of these. But I'm getting a better grip on what part of town I want to live in...and what things are important in a house!

*Friday we experienced every possible weather condition (almost) in one day. Good grief, Indiana! I felt awful for the people in southern Indiana and on down further south...who had all the tornado devastation! About the worst we had was this hail...which I heard OVER the replay of Mid-Morning I was listening to through my headphones.

* Saturday was my first official work event of 2012...I took a shift at the Fort Wayne Home and Garden Show. I love home and garden shows, so I was really excited that we had a booth there! I worked the final shift, so I went up a little early to peruse the place (aka get ideas...) Had such a fun night. I'll post more about it this week!
One Thousand Gifts: I think my favorite gift this week was watching the 2 videos I made in conjunction with the 30 day journey...and being able to see change in myself. Maybe you could see it...maybe you couldn't, but I did. And since I've lived with myself for a number of years now and know how difficult it is for me to change...I know what a gift that is!

Pinterest Inspired Projects: I am going to (again) devote a whole blog post to this project so I can share more of it with you, but here is the intro. Found this idea a while ago...focused on teaching kids to pray:

Scrapping the part about the pictures on the end...I made "prayer sticks" to count laps on the track at the gym! (There are more than these, but some are sort of personal so I didn't want to take pictures of them.)
More to come on that this week!
