Honestly?

  • I still haven't lost any significant amount of weight since last summer, despite the fact that I am always trying. I gain one and I lose one. Lather, rinse, repeat.
  • I have anxiety when my family goes on trips. My brother and my parents are all traveling this weekend I am terrified something bad will happen to them. I pray constantly when they travel. I just need to have faith that God will look over them, but I still worry. Sorry Lord...
  • I started reading 50 Shades of Gray. My friend asked me to text her where I was in the book. So I texted her back and told her....VERY explicitly where I was. But instead I sent that text to my father...yeah...
  • My high school senior class is having a reunion this summer and I don't want to go. There were only 11 of us, and there are a few I'd like to see (and have seen). But a few I REALLY don't want to see because honestly? I still hold a few grudges towards a few that were mean to me. But guess what my devotional was about this morning? Holding grudges and forgiveness...
  • I'm still loving the new church and I've been every Sunday except one. I love the Pastor, the music, the people and just the overall good feeling I have when I leave.
  • I'm ashamed that I blogged about and remembered David Beckham's birthday yesterday and didn't remember until later in the day that it was my beloved grandmother's birthday, who passed away 4 years ago. She would have been 96. 
  • My car engine light came on last week right as my car rolled over 78,000 miles on the nose. I find that suspicious and have not taken it in to the garage yet. Of course, it'll probably break down any minute now.  I also had new car itch a while back. That has passed because you know why? NOT HAVING A CAR PAYMENT ROCKS.
  • I want to buy a juicer but I'm afraid that it'll just be another trendy thing I want and I won't use it enough. Any of you have one and use it regularly?
  • Lately I've been having the occasional urge to smoke a cigarette. Not enough of an urge to make me actually do it but I'll see someone smoking and I'll remember how much I used to enjoy it occasionally on the back porch with a glass of wine. And then I remember HOW DANG HARD (seriously people..quitting is brutal) it was to quit and the urge passes quickly.
  • I have had thoughts of picking up and moving somewhere else lately. But I won't because I'm too attached to my family. But sometimes I just wish I could make a change. My life feels like it's in a rut lately and I can't seem to shake it.
  • However, having lunch with your bestie who moved away recently makes it all better....

I totally busted out LOUD about the 50 Shades of Grey text to your dad... OOPS!!!! :) haha!!!!

I LOVE my juicer... no regrets at all... I look forward to my juicing when I get to - it makes you feel so healthy!!!!! Just find one that doesnt have LOTS of parts to clean - that's when you'll stop using it.

...you sound bored. Like you are doing things you "think you are supposed to be doing" but would rather be doing something else..even if you don't know what the something else is.

Dee Stephens said...

I agree with Jane. You sound bored.
Maybe start a new hobby and join a group to meet new people?
One of my best friend's is around our age and still single and she's finally biting the bullet and moving out of New Orleans.
She's been talking about it for years and year but b/c of her family she's been like you.
Well, this Summer she's doing it.
Moving to Chicago by her lonesome!
Can't wait to see where life takes her!!

I have a juicer and I use it everyday! It has helped me so much to get my health back on track. I crave fresh juice all the time now and some days I only have juice. The only thing is that it can add extra calories to your diet so it takes some time to figure out the balance of what to take out of what your eating to account for the fresh juice. But I say, go buy one! It has changed my life.

And I totally have been in that stuck place as well. I call it the inbetween time. When one phase starts to end but the next stage has not started. At this stage I have to spend extra effort to get myself to try new things or at least start planning for the next phase. I found the book Your Hearts Desire by Sonia Choquette to be very helpful when this phase is happening.

Bullet Point #3 made me laugh out loud - in a very quiet office! Thanks for that chuckle!!!

This post....describes my life to a tee right now. Glad I have company! Especially when it comes to worrying about my family when they travel (or just drive to work). :)

The text you accidentally sent to your dad made me LOL!!

And this is why we're soul sisters! I've also contemplated moving to the southern half of my state. The trip I took to Burbank in March sort of reaffirmed that my dream to move there will always be there. I'm also very close to my family & my parents are getting to the age where they're going to need assistance.

Oh, and I feel you regarding your high school reunion. I'm likely going to mine this summer, but mine is a year late--again. Some things never change!

The urge to move and not doing it is so something I Have been thinking about for over a year. I am hoping working on finding a new job and going back to school will keep my mind busy and make some changes that get that out of my mind.
