More Than 24

So, I've been MIA for the past several days, or so it seems. Generally, I just need more than 24 hours in the day. I would draft an email to God asking for just a couple more hours, but that would be pointless. Although, I read on a church sign in Fishers that "God answers knee mails." Maybe I should try that...I have a feeling that less sleep and more coffee will be a hell of a lot more productive, though. I guess I just need to learn to optimize the 24 that I have been given.

So for those who are wondering, I had a ladies' night at my home on Friday. I was surprised by several things with regard to this venture. For one, I have a LOT of friends! When the hell did that happen, and how did I not notice this? And for the amount of friends that I have, why aren't they ALL following my blog? Hmmm, guilt trips will ensue following this entry. Anyway, there were 10 of us, half a case of Mallow Run Wine (THANK YOU, KAT!),  and about 50 lbs of sugar divided amongst treats which included M&Ms, caramel apple Hershey kisses, Cupcakes (THANKS, ELESE!), apple crisp, turtle pumpkin cheese ball, chocolate-dipped Oreos, chocolate-covered popcorn, & of course the gourmet caramel apples that we all made. I mean does it get any better? Wine, women & chocolate...I'm pretty sure that we all had a GREAT time; at least I know I did. Due to the success of this ladies' night, I definitely plan to do another one, though I'm not exactly sure when, considering I'm having a baby in like 8 or 9 weeks...

I've lived here for nearly 4 years now, and I've never felt more at home anywhere. It is such an amazing feeling, especially when I think back to the first weekend trip I made here for my birthday in 2006. Upon reflection, I see how far I have come from the broken-hearted-yet-determined-to-find-happiness person of yesteryear to the Goddess I am today. I'm proud of myself. I went from having next to nothing to having everything and more that I could ever ask for in life. It has been an amazing journey, and I honestly can't wait to see what life has in store for me in the future.

Wow, this isn't all over the place at ALL! Anyway, 'til next time...
