I feel a little scattered tonight – the desire to write, but a little too tired to focus and concentrate on saying anything super meaningful or that shows any amount of organized thought. So just a little of random me tonight. You might want a map cuz we will probably be all over the place…

Church was awesome today!  Way to go, Pat and Billy!  Not only was everything incredibly well done, but the response of the people was amazing.  They seemed to really GET IT today – both the talk and the music.  They really became interactive.  So great to see.  God’s got some incredible stuff on the horizon…:-)

Got two new books today – Breaking Dawn (4th in the Twilight series. Stop laughing.  Don’t knock it ’til you try it!) and The Time Traveler’s Wife.  Yay, yay, yay!!!! I’m so excited.  Can’t take the girl out of the girl…

Paid the price today for dabbling with strawberry shortcake and peanut butter pie last night.  UGH!  Gluten and dairy are definitely NOT my friends.  Learned my lesson and will start fresh again tomorrow.

Got a new phone today from my friend Terra.  Thanks, girl!  Way more buttons than my old phone and way cuter.  Hope I can figure it out.  Slowly, I am becoming friends with modern day technology.

It was a great weekend of incredible conversations.  Love it when words are not just needless sound, but carry deep meaning and purpose.  Love it when you can laugh and cry in the same conversation with the same person.  🙂 Real conversations that aren’t guarded or fearful or filtered.  Raw stuff.  MMMMMMmmmm that’s good!

Have had intense dreams for the past several nights.  So vivid and detailed and real.  And LONG!  I swear they go on for hours.  I feel, see, taste, hear, smell everything to an incredible degree.  So weird.  And they have carried very real emotions as well.  Some have been really comforting.  Some have made me ache a little.  And some have made me so very happy. But all very, very real – to the point of me having to stop the next day and wonder if it really happened or not.  And that’s the even stranger part.  They have been almost deja vu-ish.  I will have these dreams and then something related to the dream will happen the next day – those people, that situation, that emotion.  Freaky, huh?  Trying just to enjoy the ride and not be creeped out by it. 

Oh and here is an exciting piece of news – I think I’ve started having hot flashes.  Yippee!!!!  These are especially fun when you live in a place where triple digits are where the temperature lands for months on end…

I have discovered that there are things in life that defy explanation, definition, understanding.  The stuff that is “beyond words”.

Tomorrow is my day off, but is gonna be kinda crazy and busy all day.  It will start with a 4:00 am run so that I can take Mark to the airport at 5:00.  And the following 12 hours will be a lot of running around all over town.  Sigh…When will a day off really be a day off?

Well, I should probably head to bed so I can get a few hours sleep.  And go that crazy place where my bizarrely amazing dreams await me. 🙂  Goodnight!  See you tomorrow…
