Randomness

I find myself with a few minutes on my hand and a computer in front of me, but I can't think of anything to write. How is that possible?? I think of dozens of things to blog about all day every day but now, when I'm at the computer, I can't think of what to write about. So I thought I'd do random throughts.

- I sort of wished our power went out at home. I think it's fun to be without power for a while.

- Peanut M&Ms are calling my name right now. I tried to take it easy, with only a few at a time but that doesn't seem to satisfy.

- Speaking of eating, I've been battling a mild desire to "take it easy" on what I eat lately. Even so far as trying to come up with a "diet plan". I always comment that I don't diet and after trying to follow a lower calorie count last week, I remember why. So I'm not sure the solution but I guess moderation is my theme.

- My effort to take it easy on running is coming along quite effectively. In other words, I haven't run in several weeks. I sometimes feel bad about this but then remember my body was getting mad at me so spend my gym days on other activities, including a turbo kick-boxing class that rocks! Although I'm definitely not working as hard as I should be. But decided it's okay for right now... at least that's what I'm trying to tell myself.

- Mark and I are doing great!! His work continues to be challenging and our little life together continues to be wonderful! Recently we've been trying to come up with weekly meal plans, but don't have much of a system yet and are on our 3rd month of budgeting, which we're struggling through and starting to see a few benefits.

- We decorated what we're calling our "training wheel tree" - a borrowed fake decorative tree we got from Barb and put some lights on and then some of each of our ornaments. It was fun to talk about what all the decorations meant and where they came from. Neither of us had pulled out our ornaments in quite a few years. When we were in Montana my mom hooked me up with some fun starter Christmas decorations that helped around our place ;)

- As I've spent Starbucks dates with God, I've missed my role(s) in ministry. I think not being in ministry is good for me, but I sure the booster in your personal relationship with God as you can't really slack off as much when in ministry. I'm trying not to slack, but there just isn't as much going on right now. I'm trying to enjoy the break as I know it won't last!

- I think that's all I can come up with at the moment.

Happy Holidays!!
