Write about my morning routine.
What a boring topic. It generally goes like this lately:
4:10 a.m. alarm. Roll over and snooze.
4:19 a.m. alarm Hit snooze again, lie awake for a minute thinking about getting up to go workout.
4:28 a.m. alarm Change alarm to 6:10 because I've decided I'm too tired.
6:10 a.m. alarm Hit snooze. Listen for a minute to make sure Brooke is up and getting ready for band camp.
6:19 a.m. alarm Turn off alarm, get up, throw on some clothes and take Brooke to band camp.
7:00 a.m. Home from dropping Brooke off at band camp, make coffee, head upstairs to get ready for work.
7:45 a.m. Leave for work!
Now my routine SHOULD go like this--actually get my lazy self up and work out. Get home, read the Word, make coffee, take Brooke to band camp, get ready for work.
Maybe one day soon!

July blog challenge Day 28
Write about the last dream I remember having.
I'm actually uncomfortable writing about dreams, of all things. Sometimes they can be taken too literally. But I am a firm believer in that dreams DO mean something. Read the Bible. Joseph had very profound dreams and God brought them to pass. I believe that God can use our dreams to speak to us, guide us, warn us, protect us. But we have to be very in tune with the Holy Spirit.
I'm pretty good at interpreting others' dreams most of the time and I have had many of my own dreams come true in some way. Usually, I will dream about a person and it doesn't really matter what the person is doing in the dream or what is happening in the dream but I will know that something is DEFINITELY going on what that person and that I need to pray for them. God put them in my dream and on my mind for a reason.
I have dreamed about a guy I dated briefly many times. He is married now and I don't know why I keep dreaming about it. I have no romantic feelings for him and wish him well. Sometimes his new wife is in the dream and sometimes not and the dreams are never romantic or sexual in nature. I'm no longer close with him so I can't really reach out to find out what is going on but I do pray every time he appears in my dreams that all is well.
There have been a few times where I have been awaken in the middle of the night with someone or something in my dream and have had to immediately get to my knees. I have found that most people think I'm either lying or just silly so my dreams are not something I share with many people unless it's just something silly. I have those dreams, too and I'm so very grateful when I do.

July blog challenge Day 27
What was my most memorable vacation?
Wow! There have been so many! I have had the pleasure and good fortune to be able to go some places most people only dream about and for that I am very thankful.
I have been to London, Paris, a cruise to Key West and Cozumel and also to New York. All were great trips and memories that I will cherish forever.
But I think my two favorite trips have been to Orlando. And not because Orlando is any great city--it seems to constantly be under construction. But because they were family trips.
In 2002, we took the kids to Disney and Universal. We went to Magic Kingdom, took a day to rest, went to Universal Studios, took a day to rest and then went to Animal Kingdom. We had the most fabulous time. We just relaxed and took things day by day. We weren't stressed or hurried and the kids had a great time. We also got to see a Braves game while there and at the time Dylan was big into baseball.
Just this past March, 12 years later, we went back. Only this time we did Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure (Harry Potter) and Epcot. The kids are older/grown and appreciated the thrill rides and a bit more of the educational aspect of the trip. Once again, we had a great time. No hurry, no stress. Just laughter and fun.
I'm glad to have been able to give them some happy memories.

July blog challenge Day 25
What's in my purse?
I hate this question. It seems to be on every challenge like his and my answer is always the same:
Wallet, compact, lip gloss, eye drops, a pen, notebook, calender, checkbook, a hair clip and band, sunglasses, reading glasses, and a tampon.
I'm organized to a fault. I constantly clean out my purse.

Who was my childhood celebrity crush?
Hello!!! John Schneider!!! I was ALL about the Dukes of Hazard on Friday nights! I was head over heels, madly, desperately in love with Bo Duke!
Amazingly, he has aged well! I'd still take a ride in the General Lee with him!
I had one other crush that I held onto from childhood also.
Tony Geary aka Luke Spencer from General Hospital. I know he wasn't particularly good looking but his character...oh so intriguing. My mom checked me out of school so I could watch Luke and Laura's wedding. And when they left the show I stopped watching. Years later, after the invention of YouTube, I discovered they came back to the show and left many times so I stayed up many nights catching myself up on their story. While most of it is ridiculously unrealistic, the acting between those two and the chemistry is STILL so enchanting. And I think ol' Luke looks better as an old man!
Yep. I'd still run away with him to an island to find the Ice Princess! (whatever that is!)
