Well, the weekend update is here once again. First of all, Beth’s hair did not disappoint though I did notice that it was higher on Friday night than on Saturday. I like to think that she did that on purpose, basically using Friday night as an example of how high we should fix our hair and then giving all of us mere viewers the chance to attempt such great height the following day whilst she kept her hair height under control so those of us who weren’t able to get it so high didn’t feel bad.

But it’s just a hypothesis.

The conference was great and by “great” what I’m trying to say is I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO CONVICTED IN MY LIFE. The message was encouraging and yes, I was encouraged, but I was still more convicted than anything. Beth talked about how some of us repress and some of us rebel. Now, up until very recently in my life, I’ve been a “repress-er” but lately I’ve noticed a little streak of rebellion in me.

And not the good kind, either.

At one point Beth started talking about sin in our lives and said the following: “God didn’t say ‘do it less’ or ‘slow it down’ — He said ‘STOP IT.’” She paused and the the camera zoomed in on her face and she said it again, in the slowest southern drawl you have ever heard: “STOP IT.”

I just looked at the screen in front of me and, with the widest eyes you can imagine, whispered “yes, ma’am.”

I took a nap once I got home on Saturday and then woke up with all of 20 minutes left to spare before the oil change place closed. Have I ever told y’all how much I like to get my oil changed? I know it’s weird, but it makes me feel like such an adult. As a bonus, I went grocery shopping afterwards, another little errand that makes me feel like I’m finally an adult.

After coming home and fixing dinner, Clay came down and we put together a couple of pieces of furniture for my office and by “we put together” I mean Clay put it together whilst I handed him the correct tools upon his request. Whilst he was putting together my desk chair, I took advantage of the moment to ask him a few questions about the male mindset on various topics dating. We also discussed hot topics such as abortion, capital punishment, etc. but don’t worry, I always found a way to bring the conversation back around to BOYS, NOW WHAT ARE THEY THINKING, CLAY?

I woke up in the night on Sunday knowing I was catching whatever has been going around my office lately, so I decided to just turn off my alarm and sleep as long as possible which turned out to be 13 hours and yes, you read that correctly. Actually, it would have been longer than that if Katie, our former blushing bride, hadn’t texted me to see if she and Eric could stop by the house seeing as they were in town.

We had a great time catching up and it was almost like we were roommates again, other than the fact that her husband was sitting by me on the couch. We talked for a good hour before they had to hit the road. I lasted for about another half hour after they left and then fell back asleep for the next four hours and yes I’m embarrassed to tell you that. Even worse? I went to bed early last night and STILL had a hard time getting out of bed today. I don’t know what my problem is, but at least I’m not the only one feeling the need for extra sleep lately.

Here’s to an early bedtime again tonight.
