Random Thoughts (catchy title I'm stealing.....)

Well, I don't have any earth-shattering stuff to talk about this week. I have to admit, I'm not used to taking so much medicine. But if it helps me to feel better, I'm all for it. I just wish it would hurry up and work.....

We always have interesting conversations at Supper Club and Thursday night was no exception. Yeah, we talked bladder infections. And wouldn't you know, that is what was making me feel so bad! I went to the eye doctor Friday morning because I was seeing "flashes" of light in my right eye. Nothing wrong with my eye, but he suggested I talk to my doctor about migraines. Well, since I was going to the doctor (PA actually) anyway that afternoon....so now I have antibiotics for the infection (# way-too-many), old people medicine (anti inflammatory) for the headaches, and Imitrex (or something like that for migraines), plus the allergy medicine from last month. So after getting my prescriptions filled, I headed up to Petit Jean for a family week-end. I think it was the first time I had been to PJ and NOT hiked. The rest of the fam hiked but I just did not feel like it. I really didn't do much besides rest. We did go to the pool, but I just sat in the sun (with sunscreen on) and watched the kiddos. I came home Sunday (via Target in Conway), napped (missed church), and was ready to go to bed at 7pm. But I stayed up, and then couldn't go to sleep......oh well. I went home at lunch today, and managed a little nap.

By the way, a big thanks to Kami and Lara for a wonderful Supper Club!!! I wish I had felt better and could have enjoyed it more. They fixed such yummies - grilled chicken, grilled pineapple, grilled corn on the cob, rice, spinach salad, rolls. And a really yummy dessert - strawberry shortcake like the Bulldog. I think some of it was healthy......Lara?!?!?!

In other news, I felt like such a disappointment at Supper Club when I was asked about Scott. I hesitated, and heard a collective "awww Katie! not again...." But I told them it wasn't ALL me - I just mentioned the Australia thing. I haven't seen Scott since last Tuesday. We've text messaged a little, and emailed today. At this point, I don't have high hopes for anything more with him.

And, I'm getting out of the movie recommendation business. If someone doesn't like a movie I recommend, that is fine with me. I never recommend something that I think they'll hate. On the contrary, I only try to recommend things that I think they will enjoy. But when people are a bit rude and judgemental when telling me they didn't like a movie I recommended, well. And to add to my soap box today, God gave us TWO ears and ONE mouth for a reason. I think we'd all be better off if we tried to really listen instead of talking so much, instead of interrupting with 20 questions. Now that's off my chest for the time being.........

Katie, thanks for the compliments on Sup Club dinner. Grilling is healthy (strawberry shortcake....eh, not so much). But there was LOTS of fruit, so the scurvy should abate for a few days. Ha!

Katie, my heart is touched by your struggle. I'm so glad you feel comfortable to share and blog your journey. As for Scott, I don't know the details, but don't let fear stop you from saying what you want to say. Even if you call him up and just say, "I always meant to tell you that you smell great and are so kind. And that you might be afraid to really open up to him." There's nothing bad about honesty and making yourself vulnerable to another person. Dating and marriage are nothing if not scary and wonderful and all that is ironic and oxymoronic. If it bombs, God's got your back and will take care of you, and so would any of us who love you.

I wish I could re-do Thursday night and I would have found some time to spend with you one on one. I wish I'd been keeping up with everyone's blogs, but I was on vacay for a week or more and lost touch. I will pray for you tonight before I drift off to sleep with my new pup at my side.

Are you trying to tell me something or Mom? :) You can just tell me hush if I'm talking too much, you know. You just seemed to not feel like talking a whole lot (that's how I feel when I'm sick). I sent you an email earlier, but hadn't checked your blog at that time.
I hope you're feeling better. I wish I could've been at Supper Club. I had a good book club meeting Monday night. The pomegranate soup was actually pretty good - just different.
Yes, I know I need to update my blog. I just haven't taken the time to do it. I have been reading everyone else's, though.
