I’m having a hard time concentrating today, so this is what you’re getting. And you’re getting it about 5 hours later than I intended:

  1. There’s a lot of chatter in the office. It’s not helping today.
  2. Chips & salsa will fix almost any problem, except the thing about not being able to concentrate.
  3. Is there such a thing as a mental nap? And, if so, how can I take one?
  4. I like memoirs… have I mentioned that before? Last night I started reading “Lit” by mary karr while sipping some Moscato. Oh the irony.
  5. The weather will be in the high 80s tomorrow, and I’ll be cashing in my comp-time. Should I pull out that bikini & go to the beach?
  6. The vast majority of the time, I really enjoy working with my husband. Like this moment, where his voice suddenly contributes to the office chatter and it sounds soothing and comforting to my otherwise post-overwhelmination overwhelmed brain.
  7. In the past week, I’ve found out that two friends are expecting. And I’m genuinely happy for them. Excited, actually. I think this means my heart is in a good place with our infertility. In fact, I KNOW it.
  8. Hi mom and dad.

“We have fried worms”

It’s time for another FUN FRIDAYYYYYY!!!!!

This online game situation will only take SECONDS of your time, and it’s kinda fun. So I think it fits into the category of fun friday.

Imagine yourself standing in front of a refrigerator making words with all the magnetized letters. Only there’s 10 other people standing with you – and they keep stealing your letters while you’re trying to spell. Granted, someone’s probably going to be inappropriate, but you can steal there letters to stop them. muahahaha.

I managed to spell out “we have fried worms” before someone messed with my letters:

Anon’s Priorities

NOTE: Profbaugh is today’s “Everyday DOer!” Go check out her blog to hear about her ministry through blogging, then come back here for more.


Time management. Priorities. Responsibility. Nobody likes those words. When I asked “Anon” to hit on these topics – writing about how in the world she manages to DO all that she does – she reluctantly agreed. But, she did agree. Why? Her message is that important. The who behind the message is not so important. This month is not about showing off. It’s about showing up… And DOing something. Therefore, I give you ‘”Anon’s Priorities” anonymously:

There will never be enough time. It must be carved out of love. I do not have time to meet with my lunch buddy once a week at her school.  If I waited for available, I’d still be waiting.  I have to make her a priority in my heart.  We always serve our priorities.  (she blesses me so much more than I could ever bless her….thank you Jesus.)

When I volunteered at a homeless shelter for families, once per month for 3 years, it was not because it was convenient or fun.  My heart longed to serve those who were in fear for the next chapter of their lives.  Unsure how I escaped homelessness, I decided I needed to love on and encourage some struggling families.  I had to make them a priority.  We always serve our priorities.  (witnessing the strength and love of needy families was a ministry to me)

We’re broke everyday.  We are always robbing Peter to pay Paul.  Delivering meals to sick families, or to new parents is costly.  But my husband is a gifted chef and these families deserve a gift.  We have to make these meals and their ministry a priority, because we always find time to serve our priorities.  (God gave us gifts to use them for His glory….without this obedience, the gifts are a waste, or self-serving at best).

Three sons, a husband and a chaotic career could easily keep me home because they are the loves of my life.  But Jesus is the love of my breath and soul and heart and mind.  I so desire to please Him.  I desire to be authentic.  Next year I will embark on my first international missions trip.  I will miss my family and I might miss some earnings, but I love Jesus enough to let Him use me, for His glory.  He is my priority, and I just want to serve Him.  (He blessed me with salvation, peace & joy….serving others is the least I can do to say “thank you” and share His love.)

How do you approach your priorities? How do you make sure to make time?
