* Last Sunday was, as you saw,
Savannah's baptism. Despite the frigid water (for them), it was a lovely, sunny beautiful day, and the perfect time for such an occasion! I missed being at my own church but was so glad to spend a Sunday hugging friends I don't normally see!
* Monday, I was
emotionally wiped out. Lots going on in my heart these days, and while that "lots" doesn't mean
bad, it does mean that sometimes I just need a night to sit and regroup. That was just such a night. I did watch the first part of the season premiere of
The Voice.
* Tuesday, of course, was September 11, and this scene struck me as I got in my car after work:
That evening
I obeyed the Spirit's promptings and went to a friend's house to do a foot-washing in an act of apology and as a symbol that I'm committed to changing the things I saw myself doing wrong. I cried all the way through it, but the sense of relief, forgiveness, and relief I felt at the end was completely worth it.
* Wednesday evening,
I made fajitas for the first time ever in my life. They're not really a pretty food, I've decided, especially when you're eating them and the juice is running down your hands and onto your plate, but MAN are they good?
* Thursday was
BLT show number two - also known as the day I cried on air because I read one of my journal excerpts and it got the best of me. Still love this show concept with Miss Lynne! And that night...I made a Better Than Sex cake. I don't name them. I just make them.
* Friday night I was invited to dinner at some friends' house, and I have a confession to make. Are you sitting down? No, really. You need to sit down
. I had seconds on the vegetables. I know. GASP. I'm not sure what is wrong with me unless I'm coming down with a rare illness. They were just so PRETTY and GOOD. (What am I saying???)
* Saturday
I worked the Apple Festival in Coldwater, Michigan. More on that later but in another rare what-is-happening-to-me turn of events, Miss Hot Flash actually FROZE the entire day. AAAAHHHHH!!!! Had so much fun, though!
Pinterest Inspiration. I didn't actually finish this one this week because I"m missing the stamper I want to use. But I have the cards, and I LOVE this idea. You make a card for every day of the year, and then you write the year on a line and a highlight from that day. After 10 years, you can see at a glance the highlight of that date on each year. Want to start this come January 1!!

Nice idea with the dates. I do think I would like to get a bound book and have a page for each day. What do you think?
Bekah the cake is also known as the next best thing to Robert Redford for future reference. :-)
Mark - Sure! That would work great too!!
Molly - I did not know that! I've also heard it called "better with sex" cake but I thought I'd go with the original title I heard. :)
I have started journals over the years and left them all weeks or months in. A couple of years ago Sue Hubbard told me about Journal10+ that she uses. It is the same principle as your cards...you write on the same page for the date..for 10 years. It's brief...4 lines...but has exra pages in the back if you really want to record more on some days. I'm in my second year. I wish I'd had one for the last 10 years...since I retired and traveled but I'm happy with this one. (www.journal10.com) This one would fit Mark Allman's need! Has lots of other things incorporated...like planning pages, recording medical, auto, etc.
