Lots has happened since last we met. It's no longer a steamy 110 outside. Leaves are changing colors. In the season their supposed to and everything. TV went back to normal (although, I have to admit, it may never be the same without LOST). My life is still boring, but stuff did happen. And yet, no blog posts from me. It would take too many posts to try to relive the last two months sans blogging. So I thought, rather than bore you all, I'd just list them. In no order of importance. Except maybe the first. I'm pretty proud of that one.
1. Successfully pulled off my first women's retreat
2. Started teaching the Beth Moore Esther Bible Study
3. Was beyond excited that 17 women would want to come to anything I teach
4. Became underwhelmed with the new crop of shows on tv this season.
5. With the exception of New Girl and Up All Night. Oh, and it's a given I would love Once Upon a Time. Hello, anything from anyone who had anything to do with LOST is gonna grab my attention. (But this: Michael Emerson= Benjamin Linus. And sorry, Person of Interest, I can't see him any other way.)
6. Lost 30.4 lbs (technically that's the tally since June 14th)
7. Stepped down from the worship team.
8. Cheered my Oklahoma State Cowboys to a 7-0 season thus far
9. Tried to quell my cheer at OU losing their first game :)
10. Spent a gazillion hours and gazillion gallons of paint on the youth room at church.
11. Decided gray is most definitely the best paint color choice ever.
12. Contemplated painting bedroom gray.
13. Decide it's more work than I want after painting youth room.
14. Downloaded new albums from Needtobreathe, Switchfoot, Sara Groves and Katie Herzig.
15. Decided this is the best autumn for music. Ever. Ever, ever, ever.
16. Began a mission iPad for christmas plan against the parents that rivals Ralphie's for his Red Rider BB Gun. Results TBD. At least I know I won't shoot my eye out.
17. Disciplined myself to hold off listening to christmas music as a whole until October 25th.
18. Questioned whether two months is enough for christmas music listening enjoyment.
19. Redacted my 25th of October christmas music start date.
20. Enjoyed the bliss of seeing David Crowder*Band live-- for the last time :(
21. Enjoyed the bliss of seeing Gungor live-- hopefully for the first of many times :)
22. Picked up Tammie Head's bible study, Duty or Delight. It is awesome. The kind of awesome that is life changing.
23. Dominated at Hanging With Friends. Shelved Words with Friends, for the time being.
24. Contemplated getting another pug. Perhaps next spring.
25. Visited Austin to see my sister. And her new condo. Both were fantastic.
26. Tried foie gras, duck, and rabbit for the first time ever. For the record, not a fan of the first, surprised by sort of liking the second, and still don't want to admit I may have eaten a relative of Thumper.
27. Discovered a new love for goat cheese. Which now supercedes my love for feta and blue cheese. I know you were wondering.
28. Pinned a few pins at pinterest. Just a few. Or 1400.
29. Thought about blogging, but then just slept in. Rinse. Repeat.
30. Got Just Dance 3 for the Wii. Channeled Sarah Jessica Parker in Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (I love...to dance *insert blissful sigh*).
31. Attempted only 1 thing I've seen on Pinterest. Hasselback Potatoes. Delish. Try them. (Also, discovered Food Gawker thanks to Pinterest.)
32. Got a little giddy over the arrival of autumn.
33. Thought maybe I should blog again. For reals this time.

Aw, hello :) Love lists, ha! So much going on...seems full and happy.
We did the Esther study last fall, really liked it. I can't remember all the numbers for the rest, so my comment is limited to - happy :)
So nice to see you back on the blog! I am loving the new NTB music and knew you would be too : )
I have used many of my 'pins'...I just made two dishes last night that I'd seen on there. Both were keepers. I am a fan of pinterest.
Happy Autumn!
Loved the list! Pinterest has overtaken my life and the blog is a little more quiet. The only thing I've tried so far is vinyl decals on my washer/dryer. I thought it they looked better I might want to use them more. Silly me.
LOVED Beth Moore's Esther. That one was life-changing for me. Will have to check out the Duty or Delight.
Going to check out your hasselback potatoes.
