Reflections on my Hurricane Irene weekend.

Highlights of my weekend with Hurricane Irene:

Discovering that when news of disaster is looming, my impulse is to buy cheese. Specifically goat cheese. Do I ever eat goat cheese? Not really. But I was certain that this would comfort me if the power went out.
Considering bringing our beach noodle chairs inside… just in case. Perhaps we’d be floating in the cul de sac. You never know.
Being able to sleep in on Sunday morning as church was rescheduled for the evening. A girl could get used to that!
Being in our smaller church building on Sunday evening (as opposed to the middle school in which we meet on Sunday mornings). The acoustics are glorious! I just felt enveloped by the voices of the congregation praising the Lord. *sigh* And the sermon was just what my heart needed to hear at the time.
Getting to play more Settlers of Catan with Brian (with electricity AND goat cheese). I’m on a winning streak and he’s not pleased. Pray for us. 😉 (Get in on the story HERE.)
Fine tuning our guest bedrooms so that it finally looks like grownups live here. And discovering that when it comes to shopping for decor and bedding, I ALWAYS and ONLY gravitate to the same colors and patterns. Forcing myself outside of my comfort zone to establish a blue color scheme was mentally exhausting.
Recognizing yesterday that if the hardest problem in my life is not being able to find bedding for the third bed in our house… well… then I’ve got a pretty nice life.
Watching RSVP’s rack up for our backyard concert that’s in two weeks! If you’re reading this, consider yourself invited and contact me if you’d like more info.
Turning my chipped-mug-friend into a brunette. She’s never been a brunette! She was going to be my model for a photo shoot that was scheduled for Sunday, but the shoot was canceled. My intentions were to maintain the blonde and give her crazy, big, fuzzy, Victorian hair. Now, instead, she’s a rockin’ brunette. See? Change is good.
