Desperately seeking structure...

I'm thinking it's time to get back to the world of the 3D people. I only say this because of the cartwheel I tried to perform when I realized a couple weeks ago that it was Wednesday...and that means one thing. Wednesdays = Dallas! And there's only one thing that could be better that might make me turn a cartwheel AND a roundoff...and well...that would be if they brought back Knots Landing. Oh yes...that...would be a good day. And the fact that I've given time and space on my blog to talk about this makes me KNOW that it's time for some structure in my life. Time to put things in proper perspective and deal with reality.

So...because I'm so badly needing structure, I will blog in list form today. It's tidy and orderly, don't you think?

1. The Olympics. I have loved watching the Olympics this year. Swimming, in particular, is my favorite mostly because two people I love very much are swimmers and I know some about the sport. But...Missy Franklin...OH MY WORD! She's a beast in the water and it has been a joy to watch her spank the rest of the world. And...of course...Michael Phelps...now the most decorated Olympian in history. Who doesn't love that? I cannot watch an event without crying. I'm a mess over the Olympics.

2. Garden Ridge. I love that place. I mean...you have to kinda dig through all the stuff...but they have some great inexpensive home decorations. And lots of other stuff, too. And best of all, I found some great decor to finish out my mantel. No...this is best of all: IT'S NEVER CROWDED!

3. I received the ultimate consequence for texting and walking the other day. Ok...maybe not ultimate. I didn't fall into a fountain or anything. But pretty dadgum embarrassing. I was in Walmart. And I had to go to the bathroom. But I also had to let the hubs know that I was there and needed to know if he needed me to get anything for him. So...lost in my texting...I looked up and found myself in the men's bathroom!

Crickets.

Horrified, I ran out.

And if you happen to know the guy who watches the surveillance videos in Walmart, please tell him not to send that to America's Dumbest People!

4. I woke up at 3:00 Wednesday morning with a stomach virus that took me down for two days. Yuck! It was not pleasant...for anyone...in our house. I laid still for 2 days...because...well...if I moved...I.tossed.cookies! And I have not been that sick since the year 2000 when I was so sick that I had to be taken to the ER because the nurse on the phone thought I had meningitis. I had two spinal taps done. Turns out I was just really dehydrated and my body sucked in 4 bags through an I.V. rather quickly. Oh...and then later that week, the spinal tap didn't close up and they had to go back in a do an epidural blood patch. Phew!!! I guess things could've been worse this week.

5. My nephew packed up his precious little family and moved them...today...to Louisville, KY. To start seminary. I'm SO excited to watch God's plan unfold in their lives.
