Busy.

I’ve wanted to post about a hundred times this weekend, but I’m on a strict priorities list for the next few days…and a good blog post just didn’t make the cut. Sorry. I have approximately ten more minutes before my to-do list says I have to go to sleep, so here are a few points of interest.

1. Why is it that every single time I go to Target/BedBath&Beyond/HomeGoods/etc I find approximately 1,482,391 things that would look so cute in my apartment, with my bedding, or in my bathroom…but when I go looking for something specific, they NEVER HAVE ANYTHING I NEED?????? Bummer. This is not just a furnishings/decorating phenomenon. It happens with shoes and clothes too.  I have a love-hate relationship with retail.

2. I’m moving this week. Finally. I’m completely dreading it…and absolutely looking forward to. A new place. New roommate. New neighbors. And boxes. Lots of boxes. Pictures to come.

3. After spending three hours tonight packing up books – Just Books – I’ve decided that my goal to own a vast personal library may need to be downplayed until I’m married, settled into a house with great built-in shelves, and can afford movers to move everything I own.

4.  I’m getting a hair cut this week. No big deal, right? I’m freaking out. Have you ever been to one of those cheesy women’s events where you end up going around a circle and saying something you like about yourself? I hate that question. But I always pick my hair. Not that I treat it well or fix it often…but I’m really attached. Really Attached. But that is another blog post for another day this week. Pictures of the new ‘do to come.

5. I still have a year left of school, but I actually meet with a client for the first time this week to counsel on my own. I would be a terrible liar if I told you that I wasn’t at least a little bit nervous about it.  I’m not sure there is anything that drives me to my knees more than the understanding that God has given me the privilege and responsibility to invest in others’ lives. I am both petrified at the thought of completely blowing it….and so grateful that a God so Holy would ever choose to use a wretch like me.

Busy-busy-busy week.  Bring it on.
