A late night list.
1. I got Round 2 of the stomach flu right before Christmas. I have no words to tell you how awful it was to basically miss Christmas. I plan to have a personal re-do sometime around July, even though it’ll be just me celebrating.
2. I received a gift card to Cracker Barrel as one of my Christmas gifts. Even better? It was from my grandmother’s boyfriend.
3. Oh yes. You read that correctly. My grandmother has a boyfriend.
4. For the last two days, I haven’t left my house. Nor have I changed out of my pajamas. If you know me in real life, you know that the last time this happened was basically… well, never.
5. I slept until 1 p.m. yesterday.
6. The Type A in me is mortified to admit that previous fact. HOWEVER, I must have needed the sleep. Obvs. Right? Someone?
7. I have the next week off from work (both jobs) which never, ever happens. I will be spending my time moving out of my house (more to come on this later) and helping Allie get ready for her wedding (less than two weeks away!).
8. I also plan to sleep in each day since I haven’t been getting enough sleep lately. HA.
9. I’m working on a little end ‘o the year bloggy round up post-y for you to re-cap our year here at MinSoFab. It should be up sometime Monday and will offer you the opportunity to dive into the archives to find gems such as the time I almost set the house on fire whilst making a microwave pizza. I’m sure you’ll be anxiously waiting for the post to go live. Please, don’t hurt yourself clicking “refresh.”
10. I wrote three blog posts earlier today that I deleted before I ever clicked “publish” mainly cause they were just me saying “Hello, my life is a mess” three different ways.
11. God has been known to make a message out of a mess, so I’ve heard.
#4 – My idea of heaven.
#5 – HALLELUJAH!
#6 – Yes. You did. And you need more. The mama in me has been saying this silently to myself as I’ve watched you wear yourself down in the last couple of months
#8 – Again, HALLELUJAH!
#10 – I can’t relate. Nope. Not at all.
#11 – If He doesn’t, then I’m screwed.
I will celebrate with you in July! I probably won’t have anyone to celebrate with in December so I can have Christmas early!
Embrace the pyjamas and extra sleep…they really aren’t that bad!
PS. Hello, my life is also a bit of a mess…hence my complete lack of blogging!
my grandma has a boyfriend too! awkward, huh? sorry you didn’t get to celebrate Christmas like you wanted. I hope God met you right where you were. and sleep is a glorious gift from above!!! I am excited for 2009 on your behalf… and praying that it brings you that message and some brand new blessings. and perhaps a little breather?
I want to celebrate with you in july!!! Relish the gift of sleep and wearing your pj’s all day everyday. I like to do that sometimes…<3
Although I am sorry to hear that you aren’t feeling well again…I am glad to hear that you are begining to take much need pajama time! There is nothing better for the soul! Sometimes God has a funny way of slowing us down exactly when we need it.
Take care of yourself!
I love a list
Hi Amy Beth. Hope you are feeling better soon. Rest!
If it makes you feel better…I’m on vacation this week too and I’m still in my PJs. LOVE IT.
“A message out of a mess.” I LOVE that!
Hang in there and get well soon, my bloggy friend!
The Christmas in July is an awesome idea for you! But you don’t have to celebrate alone! I’ll celebrate with you! I’ve always wanted to go that!!! I am sure there are other interlings that would celebrate too! We could even do a secret santa or something! I am so sorry you were so sick on Christmas. I wish we lived closer! I’ve got an apartment house with a apartment that is going to be getting done being completely renovated very soon- if you ever want to live in the country part of NY state it’s yours!

Let yourself get as much rest as possible this week. It’s the key to getting you feeling better!!!
Lots of prayers coming your way! XOXOXO
still praying… God is working all around you, accomplishing His purposes. I just know it!!!
“God has been known to make a message out of a mess, so I’ve heard.” Why do you think I leave you comments??
From a girl who was a mess.
Now I am a success!
The difference?? Messes fall down. Successes fall down…and get back up!
