The Not-So-Amazing-Recap Of My Uneventful Week

I had one of the most relaxing, non-stressful weeks this past week and it was glorious. Sometimes when that happens, the weekends following are crazy, but, the pattern continued this weekend and it was nothing short of relaxing as well, and very quiet I might add. Here are a few things I loved about the week, and a few things I am looking forward to this week...

1) I was only gone one night this week, which was the normal Wednesday evening. I honestly didn't know what to do with myself. Normally the only night you can find me at home is on Mondays, so it was especially nice this week.

2) Thursday on my day off, I really didn't have anything to do, so I did nothing of productiveness whatsoever. I felt a tad bit guilty, but as I reflected on that day, I realized how rejuvenating it was. Doing absolutely nothing. I get so caught up in business that I tend to never stop, and quite frankly, Satan loves that because it's a great excuse. I really need to find a balance.

3) I have found that when I have more down time, I don't blog as much. Not only blog, but I don't comment much, either. And when I don't blog/comment much, the traffic really slows down. Is that strange? I blog more when I'm busy. Either way, I really enjoyed some time away from the computer nonetheless.

4) The Biggest Loser was absolutely fabulous this past Tuesday. Y'all, the last four contestants ran a stinkin' marathon. I am just so all up in that shows business it's not even funny. I think it is becoming a very unhealthy obsession. But oh, to just give them all a hug and tell them how proud I am of them!

5) My parents went out of town this weekend, and this twenty-three year old girl put her big girl pants on and stayed home by herself. That is huge y'all, huge. Just ask anybody that knows me. I'd rather sleep in my car than sleep in a house by myself. (I know, it's awful.) I'm a chicken baby. But, I did it and I am so proud of myself! I actually enjoyed having the home to myself most of the weekend and the quietness that came along with it. Yet again, so relaxing and rejuvenating.

6) Saturday afternoon, after much productiveness Saturday morning, my big brother called me to see if I wanted to go with him to the Astros game that night. Of course I did not object and we had so much fun! Our seats were five rows up from third base which was awesome and Hunter Pence did not disappoint. And the Astros won! Holla! (The best part of the night was when someone hit a fowl ball and it came flying at our heads and landed literally on top of my purse. However, homedude in front of me was adamant on getting and keeping the ball, so I let him have it. And when I say it came flying at our heads, I'm not exaggerating, we all ducked. True story. It was on T.V.)

7) We had a very nice, low-key Mother's Day this afternoon. After lunch, I was excited to give my mom the new chandelier I bought her from IKEA that she had been eyeing for her dining room. And of course, all the crazy funny cards! I seriously love nothing more than picking out cards for people. I spend hours doing just that! I even took a nap this afternoon. Score! And mom relaxed too. So, Happy Mother's Day to all of you fabulous mothers out there. I hope your day was extra sweet!

Now onto my excitements for this coming week...

1) The Biggest Loser Finale. Seriously, y'all, I think it is the best, and most inspiring reality show out there. (Don't judge, I know a lot of you out there are arguing with me because I didn't say that American Idol was the best. But for me, Biggest Loser is my choice!) And really, who does not just love Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels. LOVE them to pieces. Even though Jillian kicks my butt in 30 Day Shred, I still love her. It's really a love/hate relationship. (The thing is, even if I am addicted to the awesomeness that is this show, confession is the first step to healing, right? Ha!)

2) This coming Wednesday night is our last Wednesday night service for the semester. At least until June when the summer schedule starts! As much as I love this service, I do enjoy getting a break from it. Wednesdays are really long days, so this gives us about a two week break before summer hits with full force and we go nutty. However, it will be weird just going home after work on Wednesdays. I'm not sure what I'll do with another free night. Any suggestions?

3) I love my bosses to pieces, however, both of them will be out of town for part of the week. When they are gone, I tend to be very productive on Girl's Ministry stuff and can really focus on it, which is so nice!

4) So, with that said, this coming Friday night I am having my first ever mother/daughter event called This One's for the Girls and I am so excited. A little nervous, but more excited. It's going to be a great night with worship, lots of chocolate, games, encouragement, and some extremely fun prizes that I would like to keep for myself, but unfortunately, have to give away. Since the boys will be gone this week, I will really be able to focus and be very proactive in getting everything done that needs to be done for it. Thankfully, I have some amazing ladies who are helping me and I am so grateful. Seriously, what would I do without them? If you are a mom or a daughter, what is something you would want to do at a mother/daughter event? What are some fun games you could play? And lastly, mothers, what is something you want your girl to know, and you feel like you've drilled it in her head time and time again and she still doesn't "hear" you? Something that someone else may have to say for her to believe it? I am very interested in this and would love your input.

5) Sweet Missy will be having her baby this week! I am so excited for her and know that little Miss Ellison will be just darling. I just know I'll be refreshing her blog all day tomorrow when they induce her. Go see her blog for more details, and also, I'm sure she would appreciate your prayers very much!

6) This may or may not happen, but, I may get to meet sweet Janelle this weekend. We shall see! It's definitely in the back of my head and I am hoping we can make it work. I just love her and sweet little Ella.

Well, I think that's all. If you're still reading, bless you. What I thought would be maybe four points turned into thirteen. I really need to learn how to simplify. But, that's just how I roll!
