Sorry to all my blog followers (all three of you), for the pause of my 10 day challenge. I guess you could say I failed, but not as miserably as my Skins last night... Good gracious. Back to the drawing board, minus the $40 Million that they just handed over to McNabb... I wonder if he had an issue looking himself in the mirror this morning? Probably not. Maybe I can get Danny boy to sign ME for a few mil. I mean, why not?! I'm perfectly capable of playing miserably and would look better doing it, I'm sure! But back to my blog... I may have failed in consistency but like the Redskins, I gotta get back on the horse and finish this thing out... hopefully with a little more excitement than their season seems to be headed (which btw, I am not attacking the players... it's a competition, sometimes you have games like last night, where nothing clicks... BUT Dan Snyder is quite possibly the worst thing that has ever happened to the Redskins).
Day 1: Ten things you want to say to ten people right now.
Day 2: Nine things about yourself that most people don't know.
Day 3: Eight things you couldn't live without.
Day 4: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day 5: Six things you wish you could change or wish you would have never done.
Day 6: Five people who mean a lot to you.
Day 7: Four turn offs.
Day 8: Three turn ons.
Day 9: Two words that describe your life right now.
Day 10: One confession.
Seven things that cross my mind:
1. Where I will be this time next year? For those of you that don't know... who am I kidding, if you're reading this blog, you already know that my job will be moving to San Antonio, TX next Sept and if I want to stay I have to move to TEXAS... I'm not convinced about this move, more over I'm not convinced of anything concerning my next step professionally. Look for a new job? go back to school? live in Amy and David's basement while I figure it out? Move to Texas? I don't know.. but it sure does cross my mind a lot these days.
2. Relationships. Do I need to clarify?? I'm 31 and dating... how fun does that sound?? You be the judge.
3. Family/Friends... since Christmas is around the corner when I think of my loved ones I've been trying to figure out what gifts I'm going to get them or if I'm going to get to see them over the Holidays!! yay!! Fun fun fun!
4. Am I in the right place and going in the direction I was called to be heading today (or just in general)...
5. Do I love the people in my life well and how can I love them better?
6. Food!! What's for dinner? :) I LOVE good conversation/company over a good meal... so dinner plans cross my mind almost daily!
7. Working out. I sure do THINK about it a lot :) Soon I hope to be thinking about how sore my body is because I've actually been ACTING on the thought!
There you have it... 7 thoughts that cross my mind. The list could go on for days... thank goodness (for your sake) the challenge put a number to it!

NINE THINGS THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT YOURS TRULY....
1. I sleep with ear plugs. yes ear plugs. in my ears. It's a long story how it started, but thanks to Megan, I can't sleep without them.... Although I have been trying to ween myself off of them lately. Wish me luck.
2. I'm not a huge fan of small talk on the phone. In person it's ok but via phone, I get distracted and would rather just text or get a text saying "hi, I've been thinking about you."
3. I did not read a single book all the way from start to finish until I was in college.... again, I think that had something to do with my attention span and the fact that I HAD to read them. But now I enjoy reading quite a bit when I get to pick what and when I read.
4. Someone asked me how old I was last week and I told them the wrong age. on accident. and didn't realize it until I was thinking about the conversation later. Great. My memory is already failing me.
5. I've had 6 surgeries in 12 years.
6. I am moderately psychotic when I'm on a plane that is flying through turbulent airspace. And by moderately I mean I might suddenly grab the armrest or your hand if you're sitting next to me and ask you "is this normal, should we be shaking like this??" so many times that you'll start to wonder, "I don't know... is THIS normal?" Ambien is my friend.
7. I'm thinking about getting my Masters in counseling. Possibly.
8. I just got my closets re-done and had to remove every. single. item. In doing that, I found 3 *new pairs of shoes. sweet.
9. I am the replay queen. When I hear a song that moves me (physically, spiritually or emotionally), I will listen to it over and over and over again for however long I feel like it.
*new = I bought them and forgot I had them.
Day 2. check.

Need. Motivation.
I have left my blog hanging high and dry for quite a few months.... sorry, blog. With all my travel and crazy work schedule, I just haven't had the time, energy it takes to be creative and quite honestly the motivation to write. So I found some motivation or challenge per say, that I saw up on Meggo's page. And here it is:
Day 1: Ten things you want to say to ten people right now.
Day 2: Nine things about yourself that most people don't know.
Day 3: Eight things you couldn't live without.
Day 4: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day 5: Six things you wish you could change or wish you would have never done.
Day 6: Five people who mean a lot to you.
Day 7: Four turn offs.
Day 8: Three turn ons.
Day 9: Two words that describe your life right now.
Day 10: One confession.
Let's see if I can blog for TEN days in a row.
Day 1: Ten things you want to say to ten people right now.
1- Happy Birthday Megan!! I am so proud of you. Truth is, I was a little worried when you said you were moving to China, not because you'd be far away and would miss you, and not because I didn't think you would be great at your job over there.... But more because you were going somewhere that was further than I could get to if you needed your big sis to come rescue you! ha. Sounds silly, I know... but you, my dear little sister have proven that you don't need your big sister to come rescue you, and you're probably thinking, "duh, Katie, I haven't needed your super-hero-rescuing-powers for years." But I guess sometimes I just like to worry (go figure). You are so strong and have grown so much over there. One of the most valuble things we have in this life is to know who we were made to be and I have seen the light bulb come on in you as far as knowing yourself. You are just shinning like the flood lights over a football stadim. It's awesome to see you walking with confidence in who God has made you to be :) I love you, Megan.
2-Melissa, please bring Siah to VA so we can go to Sweet Water Tavern ASAP! I miss you and need to meet your little man! :) Thank you for being there whenever I need you most. I love how we can go months without talking (yeah, I know... we need to get better at that part) and then pick up right where we left off the next time we talk!
3- Shayla, goodness I miss you. I can't think about our friendship and your crazy butt without smiling! lol...see what I mean? God crossed our paths at just the right time! My twin. I am sad you had to leave VA but am so excited for you and know that you are right where you need to be for the time being. Do it BIG and keep following your dreams, they were put inside your heart for a reson, my friend!
4-6 My older sibs, I know we all have different relationships and I am so thankful for each one of them. But what I want to say to you all is thank you. Thank you for being there for me at different times in my life and listening. and praying. and even when you thought I wasn't listening, thank you for sharing and advising. I was listening. I love you guys and pray that I will one day have a family that has a solid foundation and that loves each other just like all of yours. (4) Jules, you are so creative, so calm cool and collected, a FUN mom and one of the hardest workers I know... (5) Amy, I AM SO EXCITED for you and David! I love living so close and getting to be a part of your family and the support you and David give me. Matthew is lucky to have you guys as parents. (6) Adam, I miss you and am thankful you're coming to SC for Thanksgiving with your fam!
7-9 Janetta, (8) Hambone and (9)Summer, seems like we've been through it all as friends, huh?! I'm thankful for our history! It's been over 10 years that I've been able to call you guys my friends and my heart is filled when I think about the moments (UPS AND DOWNS) we've shared and memories we've made. I love you guys and can't wait to walk through another 10 years of friendship and sisterhood with you all! (J- YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!! SO. EXCITED.)
10- Mom and Dad, where do I start? Thank you, for always loving, always giving and always sacrificing. You done good, mom and dad :) All the soccer games, band concerts, awana nights, basketball games, calls from our teachers (oh, was that just me??), tears and laughter, game nights and tables full of good food, friends and family were worth it. You're leaving a legacy through which God's glory can be revealed. I can't tell you enough. I love you and thank you. thank you. thank you.
