My life is a whirlwind these days, which explains why my poor little blog has been neglected the past couple of weeks. Between school, my clinical training, and all the time I spend on the road driving to clinical training, my days are a blur.
Last weekend, I slipped out of town to attend the Deeper Still conference in Orlando (and yes, I think I may have done rather poorly on an exam as a result...but it was worth it!). If you ever have a chance to attend Deeper Still, I highly encourage (no, I BEG) you to go. It was AMAZING. Two blissful days of Kay Aurthur, Priscilla Shirer, and Beth Moore. I went with a group of 12 girlfriends and each one of us was so blessed by the experience. I am still cherishing those moments when I felt the true presence of God right there with us.
- I bought our tickets to see Wicked in February.
- I am now hopelessly addicted to True Blood.
- Started a new Bible study with the girls.
- Indulged in a relaxation massage at the spa yesterday, thanks to hubby.
- Lazily roamed the library and was excited to discover the large selection of cookbooks. This may be common knowledge to most of you, but I have been so used to strictly buying books for so many years that I had forgotten how many wonderful books are free to borrow at the library!
- Treated myself to some retail therapy after a long week. I just might have bought another fur. I reasoned with myself that I only have a year and a half left in balmy Florida but I would love this fur coat for many more years.
- And on the shopping note, can I just say how shocked I was to see so many cute things at Charlotte Russe yesterday? I haven't shopped at Charlotte Russe since undergrad because the stuff is so cheaply made, but yesterday I went in just on a whim. After a bit of digging, I found quite a few treasures, including gorgeous bib necklaces, pretty lace tops, sequined tissue tanks, ruffled halters that are screaming to be worn under blazers, and dainty little lace trimmed cardigans. When hunting for pieces in shops like Charlotte Russe or Forever 21, I always carefully examine the garment's construction. A cheaply made piece that will fall apart after one wearing is not a bargain. But finding a well made piece in one of these shops is so rewarding!
{And please forgive me for being so far behind on your blogs...hoping to catch up tomorrow!}
5 confessions:
Sounds like from the library to the massage .... you had a nice day!
I used to love to listen to audio books when I had a long drive to work! They are great! hope you have a great rest of the weekend!!! = )
Your weekend sounds wonderful! Books on tape are really fun on trips. I like the mysteries.
I love audio books too!
I'm glad to hear that you've had a balance between school and getting to relax a little and doing some things that you enjoy. I often forget about the library too, when I have one that is in walking distance from my house.
That's great that you indulged in a little retail therapy :)
