wow, so that was quite a weekend. that's all i have to say.

i lied. so wednesday was cool, because i might actually have been diagnosed (finally) and maybe i can actually get better! big maybe, but "there's always the hope..." and i have no cavities, so my day got even better :-D thursday consisted of cooking and eating and a bit o' football and that's about it, which is just how it was supposed to be. friday... went to the outlet malls, found lots of really great deals, but all of the checkout lines were about three miles long, so i bought nothing. yes, that's right folks, i didn't buy jack squat. caught up with the girls for the rest of the day and had way more fun than i've had in a long time. seriously, i thought my chest was going to break, we were laughing so hard. good times ;-) my birthday consisted of sleeping in, no running, no eating good, presents, family, and no alcohol. so basically, it was just another very nice, enjoyable day in the life of erin :-)

i got lots of fun stuff like cool family heirloom stuff (military pins, old jewelry, etc.) and a dvd that is going to teach me how to do irish dance (ha! how fun is that!?)

so... my life plans have changed again. as in, i don't have any right now. ok, that's a lie. in one year, i'll be packing up to leave milly for good, looking for a real job and a home of my own. with a greyhound that i'll have adopted :-) lookin at grad school at georgia state or possibly ministry, so maybe moody bible institute or southeastern. trying not to think too hard about it, because then i just convince myself that that's what God wants, and thus far, it hasn't worked for me, so i just have to pray about it. kind of amazing how my "life plans" have changed so dramatically so many times over the course of this semester. i went from desparately wanting to leave milly and go to emory for grad school for nutrition to wanting to stay in milly and teach, and well, the first part of that plan got blown out of the water almost instantaneously (if i'm really honest with myself, which i hate...) and the second part fell through last week, and now i'm back to square one minus emory with the addition of being completely indecisive about what i want to do with my life. a little help here? feeling just a little bit like i'm stumbling through the dark, even though i'm not... i make no sense... i'm going to bed.
