mere musings

Sorry for the recent vacation from my blog. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately...and since I can't do too many deep activities at one time I must separate the deep thinking from the deep blogging.

Life sure has been fast lately hasn't it? Where did March and April go? I think I did a lot of wedding shower traveling and running but I can't really remember many specific dates or happenings...it's kind of just a blur. Add that to the fact that my room is OOC (yes Lisa that's for you) and I feel like my life is spinning and spinning farther from my grasp. Funny isn't it that something as small as having a clean and tidy room will make me feel like my life has regained some semblance of order. Add that to my list o' quirks.
OK, enough about cleaning, back to the deep thoughts. So it seems that I may be changing. Some may use the word maturing but I choose not to get ahead of myself. I'm changing in that I've been reorganizing my priorities and realizing how ridiculous I really am. For a million examples of why people like myself are ridiculous see either the "stuff white people like" or "stuff christians like" links to the right. Both blogs are hilarious but poignantly true. How can we ever take ourselves seriously when these are the legacies we are leaving? I've decided to quit taking myself so seriously. Of course I want to be about serious things and making serious changes and at the end of the day these are things that matter. The things that don't matter are the cluttery things of our culture. The trappings that I love and hate at the same time. So as I shed my seriousness and pursue my refreshed priorities I hope to make subtle changes. I'm almost 100% sure that this won't make sense to anyone else but it is exciting for me to talk about and mull over.

Other random life updates:

• I found a beautiful flattering dress for Kenzi's wedding in July.
  
• The weather is warming up and I'm working on my poolside body.
  
• I had a wonderful tea date with Angela M. last night after home group.
  
• I have a fun running/dinner date with Kim tonight.
  
• I am surrounded by amazing and encouraging friends.
  
• I'm very excited to assume the post of home group leader for our wonderful group in August.
  
• I hope to be volunteering to do something that I'm very passionate about very soon. (More info to come when it happens!)
  
• Plans are coming together for all of my upcoming summer trips.
  
• I have to participate in leading a portion of our client presentation in early June in front of the COO, CEO, and CFO of my client, my boss, and our VP of Marketing. Unlike other situations like this I feel confident of my understanding of the subject matter of my portion of the presentation and my ability to effectively communicate it. (Plus my boss will be there for me to punt the hard questions to!)
  
• I have a fun 5K coming up and a fun work event this weekend at the horse races!
  

Life is good. God is great!
