Hi! So what is happening with you? My poor blog is feeling neglected these days. Well let me share what is going on with me, I will make a list because that seems to be the way my brain is functioning these days.
1. Life has been busy, busy, busy here for me and I wish I could blame it all on sports, but that would not be the truth. Let’s see:
2. I have helped design or redesign two blogs. One being Laced With Grace...the other still to come.
3. I helped compile photos and information for another blog. So three websites all together.
4. These are all things I really, really enjoy. I am amazed how God brought these opportunities to me.
5. I have a son about ready to turn 16 in a week…but we won’t discuss that because this Mom is not facing that fact. NO MAM…not thinking about it.
6. I have two sons who are trying out for their middle school basketball teams (they go to different middle schools), one will most likely make it, one possibly not (just because he is young). Not ready to handle a broken-hearted son. BUT I could be wrong, that would be awesome if I am.
7. I had two nephews birthdays that I have yet to send something, I am worst Auntie of the year officially.
8. I am busy helping Noelle with Christian Women Affiliate (did you know it is free??). Another task I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Seriously you need to listen to some of these ladies on our CWA BlogTalkRadio. What a ministry. I often turn them on each day and listen while I am at work.
9. I am turning 40 this year. (oh wait did I say that outloud). Hmm not dealing with it and it is not even until Oct.
10. I LOVE, LOVE my book reviewing and have reviewed some awesome “must read” books. I have a stack of great books to share with you, my problem is getting them all read!! Just today I received a stack of 5 books–in ONE day! I need to learn to speed read, ha!! I usually turn off the computer by 10pm, but I stay up reading and if it is a good book then I am blurry eyed the next morning. ha. But reading is like breathing for me…a necessity.
11. Do you see why I have not blogged, not much going on that is interesting to share.
12. I had one person ask me, “Lori is there anything you can’t do?” They meant this as a sincere compliment, but let me tell you there are tons I can’t do. I suck at girl-friendships, I can not drive away after getting gas w/out a receipt because of the fear of not having proof I paid, I am a mediocre cook, I fear large crowds–would rather sit with you one on one, I like to avoid conflict at all costs (to my determent), and finally (as my sisters will assets to) I need to learn to stand up for myself. I don’t EVER want to give anyone the impression I have it all together. I DON’T. Any good you see is GOD, and I mean that in the most humble sense. Without him I would fall apart at the seams.
Thanks Mom for reading all the way down, I say that because you may be the only one that did not get bored with my list. But I wanted to say I am still alive and kicking, just busy behind the scense. Be sure to join my book review site because many times I post more over there.
No worries I will be back soon to complain that my oldest son is 16.
So what have you been up to????
