    My life looks a lot like yours, except minus the music portion and replace it with a kid portion! And replace coffee with diet dr. pepper! Viola, we live the same life!! :)

    Looks like you have a good life cousin Mandy.

    Can I tell you? I was getting ready for my womens leadership tea for this evening and I was messing around on Word trying to get a visual concept for how our strength is multiplied when I pour into them and they in turn pour their lives into other women. This tool is perfect! And so easy to use! Thank you Mandy!

    You play soft ball?

    um. you know that looks WAY too difficult for me to figure out. can you just do mine for me. please?

    Being a retired single guy my mind map is a lot simpler than yours.

    Meal Plan
    Exercise – Beach/Park
    Family/Friends/Date Night
    Entertainment – Internet/TV/DVD
    Work- Bookkeeping for shelter (4-6 hrs?)
    Health – Monitor blood/sugar & blood pressure

    The only things on the above list that I “have” to do everyday are the meal plan and monitoring my blood sugar level (diabetic). No calendar, clock or watch, don’t hate me :) , and I still don’t have enough time to do everything I “want” to do.

    brandi: i forgot “drinking margaritas with brandi” – what was i thinking???

    @: that just makes me happy!!

    becca: i’m sure, one day, yours will look as nuts.

    kristi: drew plays softball. drew plays softball.

    tam: if you went to the sight, you’d easily know how to do this. but, whatever, don’t worry about it. just keep blogging!!!

    Ed: didn’t you once say that my WW and Tam’s FIF helped you know when it was wednesday and friday, but those were the only days you were aware of during the week? haha!! ps: i wish i had “beach” on my list.

    If it were mine, add one kid, one husband with severe food issues, 3 businesses, 1 book getting published, and that’s probably about it. Hey chica…would you come join my contest??

  12. 2008 June 24

    coming right now! yay for contests!!!
    :)

  13. 2008 June 24

    sweetness, if we had this during our e/m conversation when I was trying to explain what I do…it would have been a heck-o-lotta easier!!!

    and right…”liesure” under the marriage category…sure.

  14. 2008 June 24

    oh. i wish you could see the smile on my face from that HYSTERICAL comment. you’re so right!!! paragraph after paragraph after resume after paragraph, and i STILL don’t know what you do. please. just make me a mind map of your life. i won’t bother you anymore.

  15. 2008 June 24

    So you in??

  16. 2008 June 24

    Oh and PS…love margaritas!

  17. 2008 June 24

    LOL where do you come up with these things?! You are so resourceful! I don’t know if I want to try mine; I may feel inadequate?! Love you!

  18. 2008 June 24

    blessed: i’m thinking about it. it was more involved than i thought… but i’m interested. am gonna slow down and think about it. :)

    gchyayles: love you!!! inadequate? no way. not at all. oh. and i found it via stumbleupon.com

  19. 2008 June 24

    pretty cool. i am actually scared at what mine would look like, so i’ll just stick to lists scribbled on the backs of envelopes. =)

  20. 2008 June 24

    sarah:how many envelopes have i written all over before heading to the grocery store??!!

  21. 2008 June 24

    workin on it now…we’ll see how far we go tonight on this mind map of mine…hope i don’t get lost

  22. 2008 June 24

    hehehe!!!
    you let me know if you get lost – i’ll come find you. that’s the kind of map that i can read!
    :)

    you doin’ mind maps. i’m doin’ scripture memory videos. oh the JOYS of bible study this summer!!!

  23. 2008 June 24

    just finished…but i don’t think it’ll help much. Let’s just pretend I’m a center ring circus ballerina!

  24. 2008 June 25

    scripture memory videos…sounds impressive!

  25. 2008 June 25

    ballerinaP:
    i hope beth moore thinks it’s impressive!

    but it’s not as impressive as your mind map thingy…

  26. 2008 June 25

    beth moore will take one look at mandy mac and throw out 5 years of old Oprah magazines just to put you on the best spot in the library!!!

  27. 2008 June 25

    i DID go to the site :(

  28. 2008 June 25

    TAMMY!!! do you even know how much you make me laugh? do you?? bless your heart. you make me a list and i’ll fix a map for you. that way you won’t get lost in life anymore…

    Cat: LOL!!! ah huh! we’ll see. if we win, we get a care package. oh yay!!!

  29. 2008 June 25

    ps: cathi, that was another one of those times where i’m not really sure of the meaning of your words, but i still like them.

  30. 2008 June 25

    Oh Crap! you said “bless you heart”

    that can’t be good

    :?

  31. 2008 June 25

    and “your” too

    sigh

  32. 2008 June 25

    tammy: was it past your bedtime? ;)

  33. 2008 June 25

    Hahaha, that’s clever. I like that double dates are in personal, but date night is in marriage. Is that because they are just more about having fun or is that because you have to drag your hubby along on them? Haha, mostly kidding! Some guys just don’t do the double date thing well, though.

    You’re on my Fab Friday 5. Thanks for this link! I love it!

  35. 2008 July 2

    i decided NOT to follow that link. not to even click on it. or hover over it. cause it would suck me in for a very long time. and i think i would feel even more overwhelmed by my life if i saw it all mapped out like that. yes, overwhelmed indeed.
