…Of Laundry Piles and Swiss Chalets

So…Leigh Ann, Amanda and I celebrated Amanda’s birthday today by going to lunch together - of course, it was wonderful. Jackson was there too - we flirted through the entire meal…it was lovely!

Now I’m home doing…well, the “normal”: laundry, dishes, packing, etc…

The Travel Channel is on and Samantha Brown is in INTERLACHEN, SWITZERLAND!!! So, as I fold laundry, I get to dream that I am in a Swiss chalet…how lovely!The Alps

Interlachen is one of my parents’ favorite places to visit…I haven’t had the privilege yet…but maybe someday!! I especially would love to hike the Jungfrau or at least ride the train up and hike around…lovely!

Apparently, fondue is a very Swiss thing to do for dinner - I love fondue!!! So, it must be meant to be for me to take a trip to Switzerland: I love to wear sweaters and wool socks - I love the mountains - I love cuckoo clocks - AND I love fondue!! See, …meant to be!

All this talk of Switzerland is distracting me from my domestic duties, though.

I have “…miles to go before I sleep”, so I must go.

It is feeling cooler in here though…maybe it will snow tonight - I think I’ll have a fire either way…lovely!

Peace…and fondue to you all!

Happy Wednesday to You (to be hummed to the tune of Happy Birthday…please - preferably, just like Michael from The Office…with harmony!)

Okay, so that’s the longest title EVER! Actually, I think the title will be longer than the post.

Today I have to be OCD about cleaning my house and packing, so that when we leave on Friday I don’t have to worry about:

If I die in a car accident on the way, what will people think as they try to find something suitable to bury me in…as my closet and drawers are unsightly and disorganized. So, “they” will shake their heads and say things like, “I always suspected that her house was a disaster”, or “…her poor family - having to live with such a disorganized pantry…you can’t even find the canned corn!!!” - and when they see the linen closet…!

Anyway, these are the things I will worry about as I cross the TWENTY-THREE mile bridge in Louisiana - with scissors in my hands, just in case we go off the bridge and I have to cut off our seat-belts and break the glass to escape! (I’m like a walking 20/20 special!)

But, apparently, I’d much rather blog about all I need to do than…actually do it. It’s called responsibility! My blogging public demands to know my thoughts on these things. Sometimes the celebrity of this blog (HA!) can feel overwhelming (HA, HA) - but, I press on…If only I could just do my housework without feeling the pressure to be an “open book”. If only…

Oh no, I’m running out of things to say - and the dryer is finished! I think I feel a poem coming on…

Just kidding - I just need to focus and remember how I’ll feel when I’m crossing that bridge!

Maybe I just need to watch a little more HGTV…where’s that remote!

Have a very Happy Wednesday! Peace.

Cool Blogs of C3

Here are some particularly cool blogs I’ve read today that are…well, so C3!

Of course, there’s always The Real Staff Wives of Orange County (C3 wives)…the pastor’s wives of C3 - keepin’ it real.

Then, there’s the “Powerhouse Blog” that highlights our rockin’ ministry to the children of C3.

Also, Travis Conrad,  Barry Oser, Monica Hunt, and Josh Wilson had these things to say about what’s happening at C3.

Finally, Barry Leather’s sums it up in his post “Sunday Night Rewind,” and Darrell Loper had this to say in his post “Ramp It Up“.

It’s inspirational to me to get the insights of others that are a part of pursuing the Barbaric Grace of C3…

For more, make sure you click on my “C3 Rocks!” page (I’m adding more cool pics all the time), and check out Byron’s  blog for ongoing thoughts and highlights of the C3 way.

C3 does rock, and it’s awesome to see how God is working in people’s lives.

Love wins. Peace out.

Lost in Space

…So, I need to add DayQuil to the long list of medication that I can’t take anymore - unless I want to lose the better part of my day!

I woke up with some serious sinus junk, but needing to function - meetings, getting ready for a trip to Texas, etc…. - so, I took some DayQuil thinking that “Day” was the optimal part of that word. (It must be “Quil”, though, if “Quil” means a drunken-like stooper in which you lose entire blocks of time…)

By noon, I was beginning to feel…weird. I felt completely detached from myself, and needed to lie down (”for just ten minutes, or so”)…

…5 hours later, I’ve missed the day: the time that should’ve been spent organizing and packing, both car lines, kids getting home from school. I feel…lost in space.

Oh well, there’s always tomorrow…I guess.

Now I need to go figure out what’s for dinner, make sure homework is getting done…at least I don’t have band practice tonight since I would be weirder than normal (I still barely feel my arms…).

I probably missed hearing my cranes, too. But, now I’m starting to sound depressing again…so, I will stick to happy thoughts.

I know, I’ll just close my eyes and watch the pretty colors float by…

There are some advantages to being Lost in Space.

Peace out…man.
