Life cereal is pretty good. So is the pineapple angel cake (angel food cake mix and crushed pineapple), especially topped with whipped cream (light is great!). Not to mention fish tacos.
So things are still busy and I'm really glad I'm not married with kids while working full time and going to school. How did Mom do that?! I guess overall things are going well - I'm trying hard to stay caught up and not let the little things go (like my contacts spreadsheet, my office appearance, phone calls, etc.). But it's a constant struggle - put out the most pressing fires first, and maybe I'll get around to the small fires later!
I've been thinking a lot lately. About decisions - have I made the right ones? Should I have done that? Should I have said yes or no? Should I not have let my stress level decide for me? Should I have let those little things bother me so much? Should I have been more assertive? affectionate? Should I have tried harder?
Emily's birthday was fun - backwards is the way to go! Mom & I went to Jonesboro to the new mall and shopped some too. That was fun!! I'm glad Mom got to come up and hang out - party, shop, church, just hanging out at home drinking tea. Thanks for your visit Mom - come back soon!
I'm really looking forward to Elissa coming back next week - planning food, things to do, things to talk about (why is she out of the country when I'm dying to talk?!?!?). And of course, I can't wait to sigh over Michael Buble. sigh.
Hope you have a great week.

Hi Katie,
One of my favorite speakers is Mark Moore. I thought of you when I read one of his recent posts A Theology of (un)Valentine's Day
In part he said:
There is, however, another side of Valentine's Day that is usually muted, namely, the huge single population for whom this day is a tacit reminder that romantic love is not part of the current fabric of their lives. For them this day betrays the fact that they have no partner with whom to share this level of love—no whispered sweet nothings, no gentle kisses, no promises 'til death doth us part'. That can be a terribly lonely feeling and often society's implicit evaluation of such a state is negative.
However, the word of God speaks differently of singleness.
...
Christian singles were, and are, an indispensible part of the body of Christ; often they look more like Jesus, Paul, and Timothy than those who have a significant other.
To those of you who are single, please receive this commendation on this day: According to the Bible, you are not deficient, cursed, or broken (you don't need to be fixed or even 'fixed up'). We thank God for you as persons and for the example you offer of single-minded devotion to Christ.
Amen, Mark.
We love you, Katie! Single, or not, you are on my list of "favorite people".
