Last month I had the pleasure of seeing Johnnyswim in concert. Introducing what they refer to as their "YOLO song," Amanda pointed out that "you only live once" is used almost exclusively as justification for doing risky and usually ill-advised things. No one says, "Buckle your seatbelt. Take a nap. Take time out for the people you love. You only live once!"
I thought that was so wise.
My Year of Alive has motivated me to take chances before I had time to overthink them, make changes I've needed to make, and open my heart without regard to how it might end. I'm living more in the present instead of in constant preparation for a future that probably won't look like anything I've imagined anyway. I want to stay on this road and am happy about my progress.
But the roller coaster of YOLO has worn me out. I was having a blast at first. Then the ride accelerated past its posted speed, momentum carrying it forward and ever faster. Embracing Alive started to mean doing constantly bigger and better things to make my life worth something and myself worth knowing. I pursued the loud, bold, and exciting a little too hard, and lost my original intent, which was to be more Alive from my soul. I forgot that there's life in stillness too, that you need both and too much of either one can be unhealthy. I started to want off the ride, but I still don't quite know how to eject.
There's still more excitement to come in these last weeks of my Year of Alive – and of course, the frenzied holiday season is almost here. But I want to be more mindful about it, remembering what my priorities should be and what I really stand for, instead of charging ahead on autopilot. To the roots of my being, I feel simultaneously exhausted and jittery, like I'm surviving on Red Bull. Chasing a high will do that. It's gotten too loud in here to hear my own heart. Before I (metaphorically) jump out of any more planes, I need to make sure it's something positive I really want, not just a feat of derring-do for its own sake. That's fun and empowering in small doses, but I've had plenty. Being fully Alive isn't just about the moment. It's also about where you're headed. Because you only live once.
This post was written for the monthly One Word 365 linkup at The Messy Middle, but it looks like we're not having it this month. You can also check out my Alive Pinterest board.

In September 2012, my friend Alanna texted me that she was thinking of signing up for Christian Mingle. Despite the freshness of a terrible experience with eHarmony and my disdain for Christian Mingle specifically, I encouraged her to go for it if she felt good about it. Within 48 hours, she started talking to a guy named Jonathan. They went on their first date the following weekend. He proposed this past Fourth of July at Turner Field in Atlanta, and last Saturday, they got married.
Results not typical, indeed, but it couldn't have happened to better people. I didn't even need to have the semi-joking "If you ever hurt her, I will hunt you down" conversation with Jonathan, and that means a lot to me. I'm continually thankful that the married women closest to me are with good men who see their value and love them deeply. Even the best marriages go through rough times, of course, but it's a gift not to feel anxious about my friends' (or my sister's) marriages or whether they're being treated well.
Alanna worked with a seamstress to alter her mom's wedding dress, and I can't get over how gorgeous, classy, and perfect for her it was. Duchess Kate would have approved. Early in the process, Alanna texted me and Allie (one of the other bridesmaids) a picture of herself smiling in the dress in its original 1970s state with no commentary. Ever-tactful Allie finally replied, "How elegant!" Then she assured us this was the Before picture and we collapsed in relief. Hilarious.
The bridal party got to choose our own navy dresses. I loved that they all expressed our personalities but still looked great together and didn't cost a fortune. My dress was from The Limited. I had my eye on it last spring, but it sold out online before going on sale. So after the engagement, I ordered a dress from eShakti instead. In person, it was less flattering than I'd hoped, but I was still going to wear it in the wedding. Then, I popped into The Limited on my birthday and found My Dress on the clearance rack. Only one, my size, 70% off. I thought the lace and chevron might be too distracting for the wedding, but Alanna insisted. I love it and am excited that I can wear it regularly now!
It even looked good with a puffer coat. From the altar to the slopes!
We all received orange wraps to wear with our dresses. Guess where the groom went to college?? As he cut his Auburn cake at the reception, he shouted "War Eagle" and everyone responded like it was a liturgy in church. Oh, SEC.
Besides the actual marriage, the most exciting thing about the wedding was most of the SIPsters being together. In 2009, a bunch of us who knew each other on LiveJournal met up for a weekend in Knoxville. We went thrift shopping together, and I can't remember if we actually found a pair of jeans that fit several of us, but Bethany's husband started calling us the Sisterhood of the Traveling Secondhand Pants. Since several of us had had eyebrows raised at us about hanging out with people from the internet, we also called ourselves the Scary Internet People. Eventually that was abbreviated to SIP and merged to create SIPsters. I know it's cutesy (and efficient), and cliquey (our borders are flexible). Even though most of us live far apart, these women have become some of my favorite people in the world. We try to hang out as a group at least once a year, and get together in smaller groups whenever we can. It's never enough time, though. I was thrilled that Caroline, one of my local best friends, got to meet them at the wedding. She texted her husband that she'd just met the SIPsters, and he replied, "WTF is a SIPster?" So, there you go. Alanna's sister Katharine is another SIPster and the person who suggested Alanna and I should hang out. She was the matron of honor, and getting to share this experience with her was a happy bonus. I'm thankful to have her in my life, and I will always be thankful to her for bringing her sister into my life too.
I didn't make any speeches this weekend because I couldn't have gotten two words out without crying, but I don't know what I would have done these last few years without Alanna. She has been my defender, my rock, and my safe harbor. She's prayed for me, encouraged me, continued to hope for me when I can't anymore, internet-stalked guys on my behalf, and helped me decide which shoes more times than I can count. I can tell her anything at any time of day or night and never worry that I'm bothering her (even when I am) or sound crazy (even when I do). In short, she is everything a best friend should be. I wish her all the happiness in the world.
For the last several weeks, I've been unabashedly obsessed with Taylor Swift's 1989. Sometimes I stop and take a mental picture* the first time I hear a song, because I have a feeling the song is going to mean something to me for years to come. I had that experience with track 4, "Out of the Woods."
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet? Good.
On the surface, this repetitive chorus might seem like lazy songwriting. But the more I listen to it, the more I appreciate its brilliance. If we're quiet enough to hear it, who among us doesn't have a little voice inside asking those questions ad nauseam? I've asked them during all kinds of difficult situations and in every romantic relationship I've ever had. I've spent years, collectively, waiting for the other shoe to drop. I've waited for resolution, to be able to tie a bow on things and declare them finished. I'm still waiting.
The truth is, we are never out of the woods (and when I read that in Taylor's liner notes, I did a little fist pump of recognition). As soon as we make it into the open in one sense, we find ourselves in a whole new forest. If we experience meadow times when everything is clear, sunny, and sure, we need to soak them up because they're temporary. We spend so much energy pursuing the meadows (and beating ourselves up if we can't find our way there), but that's not where we were made to live. We were made for the woods. We were made to be a little lost, a little uncertain, with our only surety that God made the woods and is in them with us.
Sometimes that's really hard to swallow. But I want to see the woods as a place of adventure more than I see them as a threat. I want to make my peace with the shadows and the crunching leaves. I want to hug a tree.
* = I don't think the flash went off.

For most of my life, I couldn't run without feeling like I was suffocating. National fitness tests, field days, and laps at practices were a nightmare for me. Even during my marching years, I walked most of our daily required running, envying those who could run easily, even joyfully. I figured it was an ability that you either had or you didn't, and I didn't.
Sometime after I moved to my current house, I started trying to run when I went for walks. At first I sprinted maybe fifty yards at a time. Slowly – like over a period of years – I increased to jogging a few minutes at a time. It seemed like such a laughable accomplishment, but I was thrilled. Running was just as difficult for me as before – I still struggled, cramped, and gasped for air. I wasn't sure why I even wanted to, because I honestly didn't expect it would ever get easier or better. There was no runner's high. It was pure work. But I could do it anyway, and somehow the satisfaction of that was enough motivation to put myself through regular torment.
The switch finally flipped about a year ago. I was on the treadmill in the weeks before the True Blue 5K, trying to increase my speed and maybe my running intervals – I figured I'd still be walking most of it. At the point when I normally stopped, I realized I could keep going. So I did. I ran for about fifteen minutes, and I didn't die. I did it again the next day, and the next week, and ended up running about 75% of the race. I marveled that in my mid-thirties, my body could suddenly and inexplicably do something it had never done before. My dad said it was simple: I was finally conditioned. All that time I'd pushed myself, with no hope that it would amount to anything, had made it possible for me to run the way I'd always wished I could.
This summer I trained to run a whole 5K, and I did it, on my birthday. I knew people who blew through that race in half my time as part of their marathon training. But to me, just running the entire 5K in any time was as good as a marathon. Just a couple of years before, it had seemed about as unlikely. And still, the best part of doing a hard thing was knowing that I could – having that precedent for the future.
I knew I would do the True Blue again this year because it's my favorite. It's a night race that winds through the University of Memphis campus. I didn't stress about it and only did a couple of prep runs. I was hoping for a better time than my birthday race, but I never doubted that I could run the whole thing, which would be a first at the True Blue and therefore still an accomplishment. When I crossed the line last Friday night, I knew right away that it was going to be a good race. I could feel in every step how much stronger I was than the last time I ran that course. I never felt like I was struggling. The further I went, the more joyful and thankful I felt. Thankful to be under a full moon, running confidently on familiar paths I walked during some of the best years of my life with some of my best friends. Thankful to have a strong, healthy body. Thankful in ways I can't explain. I think I was smiling most of the way.
When I ran through the tiger head at the end (the True Blue is worth doing for this alone), I saw that I'd finished five minutes faster than my birthday race. Later I confirmed I'd beaten my previous record 5K time by .02 seconds. .02 seconds is hardly worth mentioning. But to me, it was everything.

I don't cook beef very often, but I got this roast beef recipe from my friend Melanie about ten years ago, and it's still my favorite! Now that fall is here and Winter is Coming, take five minutes to throw this into a Crock-Pot and you'll be very happy at the end of the day.
Crock-Pot Italian Roast Beef
1 five-pound rump roast
1 .7-ounce package dry Italian dressing mix
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon of each of the following: basil, garlic powder, onion salt, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper
1. Combine bay leaf, spices, and three cups of water in a saucepan. Stir well and bring to a boil.
2. Place the roast in the slow cooker and pour the dry Italian dressing over the meat. You can also add the spices directly to the meat if you don't have time for the boiling step. If your slow cooker is like either of the ones I've had, and you're going to be out of the house, you'll probably need to add more water to keep the meat from burning.
3. Cover and cook for the desired time. When done, remove the bay leaf and shred the meat with a fork.
Melanie's serving suggestion was to do French-dip roast beef sandwiches (with melted Swiss cheese). For second-night leftovers, thicken the au jus into a gravy and serve the roast beef with mashed potatoes. It also goes well with Balsamic Roasted Carrots, which is how I ate it last night!

General Highlights:
October was a month of brides and babies. I got a new niece, E, and a new "nephew" via Caroline, one of my best friends! My friend Esther got married (and our old adult ballet class had a little reunion at the wedding). I also helped throw a bridal shower and a lingerie shower for my best friend Alanna, who's getting married in two weeks.
After almost a year of anxiety about it, my house got a new roof, covered by my insurance and put on in one day. I'm still amazed by how the whole thing unfolded and God's provision. NOT having to spend $10K on a roof will change your life!
The monthly book list posted yesterday – all my flight time this month meant a lot of reading! My three favorites were Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth L. Cline; 5th Wave sequel The Infinite Sea; and Barbara Brown Taylor's memoir Leaving Church.
Thanks to my sister, I finally started watching Gilmore Girls this month. Friends have told me for years that I would love it, and they were right.
It just came out on Monday, but I'm obsessed with Taylor Swift's 1989. No shame. Favorite tracks: 2, 4, 5, and 13. You can listen to my ever-expanding 2014 playlist on Spotify.
I found out at the last minute that Johnnyswim was coming to town, and it was one of the best concerts I've been to in years. If you ever have a chance to see them live, GO. They're incredibly talented and seem like incredible people. I don't make proclamations like this often, but I knew they must be believers because the Holy Spirit was just radiating from them. Crazy-sounding but true… and something to aspire to.
I hadn't seen Sia's "Chandelier" video, but when my sister, BIL, and I started watching an SNL skit spoofing it, we stopped and watched the original first. I suggest you do the same – it's awesome in its own right!
At the beginning of the month, my mom and I went to Evansville for the premiere of a documentary my brother made for Uncharted International. It's called Ang (the Burmese word for home), and he filmed it in Myanmar last summer. I'm so proud of him!
Then I went to Orlando for work, but I was just in meetings all day for two days and then came home. No shenanigans! The following week, I flew to Dothan to meet my new niece.
Around Town:
I saw Once at the Orpheum this week with my friend Ashley. I didn't know much about it going in, but it was magical and the music was fantastic!
In my continuing spree through the restaurants of Cooper-Young and Overton Square, I tried out Greencork (awesome) and Schweinehaus this month. Good times.
I've missed Memphis Madness the last two years, so I was excited to go. It's basically a citywide pep rally for Tiger basketball. Sadly, it was a little meh this year – featured performer Rick Ross brought all the excitement. The Forum charging for tickets and not letting people move down to better empty seats didn't help the situation. Neither did the fact that we only have three or four returning players. I'm trying not to let this cast a shadow over the season for me!
I needed good white and gray cardigans, so I snatched these up at a Banana Republic outlet for 70% off. There's nothing revolutionary about them, but I cannot stop wearing them. I've already asked my brother to go back and pick up whatever other colors they have.
One of my brother's best friends just got silkscreening equipment, and one of his first projects was this family lobstering logo Kevin designed. We all LOVE these shirts, and word is my uncles are practically wearing them daily.
Oh, and I busted out last year's Starbucks cup costume for my Halloween concert last night with the community band! Tonight there's a costume contest at Tiger Lane before the Homecoming game, and I had started making a "bikini" from team logo fabric to go as a Tigers Sexy Sheet Ghost. But I would have had to sew it all together when I got home last night at 9:30, and I was just too tired. Maybe next year.

Relativity by Cristin Bishara (3.5 stars)
After moving cross-country with her dad and in with a stepfamily she barely knows, Ruby is burdened by all the losses she can't change. Her mom died in a car accident when she was young, and now she's lost her best friend and secret love, George. When her scientific curiosity is piqued by a mysterious tree near her new house, she discovers it's a portal to nine alternate universes. As she finds surprises in each one, she feels more and more driven toward the perfect universe – one where her mom is alive and she and George are together. But she might lose them all in the process. This was a refreshing story, and I liked how unapologetically smart Ruby is. Get it, girl.
God's Creatures: A Biblical View of Animals by Susan Bulanda (4 stars)
I downloaded this book months ago when it was a Kindle daily deal, and now that I'm dealing with the sudden loss of my cat, I was interested enough to read it. This is a pleasant, well-researched summary of everything the Bible says and implies about animals. Bulanda has a lot of good insights that I hadn't heard before, and a lot of reassurance about God's care for and value of His creatures. I found it really comforting and will probably reference it again in the future.
Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth L. Cline (4 stars)
I read this for the Red Couch Book Club (but, as usual, too late for the discussion). I knew it would change my perceptions about the fashion industry in ways I might not like. Cline examines our society's growing addiction to fast fashion and ever-lower prices, and shows us how it's affecting the whole world. She illustrates the decline of quality clothing over the past hundred years and goes into Chinese sweatshops and Dominican fair-trade factories. Overdressed is a more engaging read than I expected, but it'll make you uncomfortable. I was already trying to be more mindful about my clothing purchases and this gave me a big push.
Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols (3.5 stars)
At fourteen, Leah decided flying was her ticket out of the trailer park. Now eighteen, she has her first pilot's license and is still working at the same small airport. The kind man who taught her to fly has died suddenly, leaving behind two grieving sons to keep his aviation business together. Grayson, the more rebellious of the two, has always intrigued Leah – but he threatens to fire her if she won't date his brother Alec, no questions asked. This novel is a (slightly disturbing) love story, but it's also an unflinching look at the realities of serious poverty, and how much ambition and luck you need to get out of it. I'm slowly reading all of Jennifer Echols' books and continue to be impressed by her range.
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart (4 stars)
Two years ago, on her family's private island, something terrible happened to Cady. Ever since, she's been crippled by severe migraines and has lost most of her memories of that summer. When she finally returns to the island, her two favorite cousins, and her true love, she's determined to piece the mystery together. That's all anyone should know about this going in. I've heard so much hype about it that it couldn't possibly have lived up to my expectations, but I was hooked and duly impressed.
The Shade of the Moon by Susan Beth Pfeffer (2 stars)
It pains me to say so, but with each Moon book, I'm wishing I'd stopped at Life As We Knew It (which is still amazing). This fourth volume is the bleakest yet. Little brother Jon, now seventeen, lives in a safe enclave with his stepmother and half-brother, while the rest of the family lives as slave laborers in a neighboring town. The entire story is a Lord of the Flies-esque downward spiral of class warfare, inhumane treatment, and horrific deaths. I do think we need occasional reminders that we could all turn savage under the right conditions (so we won't), but this was so awful that I almost gave up on it. There are glimmers of hope, but in their world, they wouldn't be enough to keep me going. (Apparently Goodreads agrees.)
Leaving Church: A Memoir of Faith by Barbara Brown Taylor (4 stars)
When she was ordained in the Episcopal Church, Barbara Brown Taylor envisioned a long, fulfilling life of ministry. With fatigue setting in after about ten years in an urban congregation, she takes a church in rural Georgia. But even in a peaceful town, her soul becomes increasingly troubled and exhausted. This is the story of how a woman in love with God and His Church ends up with more questions than answers, and has to deconstruct her faith to find it again. I recommend it to anyone in professional ministry or any believer feeling disillusioned. If nothing else, you'll find reassurance that you are not alone.
Rare Bird: A Memoir of Loss and Love by Anna Whiston-Donaldson (4 stars)
I reviewed this here.
The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey (4.5 stars)
When we left Cassie at the end of The 5th Wave, her rebel alien boyfriend had blown up the aliens' military compound, allowing her to escape with her brother, her high school crush, and their platoon of child soldiers. The bulk of The Infinite Sea centers on Ringer, one of the platoon who goes on a scouting mission from their new "base" and ends up in one impossible situation after another. This sequel didn't grab me quite as much as the original, but it was compelling and ended with a twist I thought about for days. Well played, Yancey.

On October 1, my second niece was born! Since my sister and I are very close, I'm thrilled and emotional about a second generation of hermanas. When Niecy was born, Debra and Lance lived much closer. But now that they're an eight-hour drive away, it was too complicated for me to be there for this baby's birth. Instead, I flew down to Dothan last weekend for a good visit with the whole gang.
Since Niecy is no longer alone in niecehood, from here on out her name on this blog will be what she happily calls herself: Fifoo. Fifoo is now maturely calling Debra "Mom" and pushing her baby doll in a swing. She seems excited to be a big sister (unlike her mother, who at almost the same age asked when our parents would be taking our little brother back to the hospital). I realized this trip that I have to start being careful with my influence, because she picks up whatever Mom and Aunt B do! She was quick to notice my new tattoo, prompting a discussion about how it was okay for me to "draw on myself" because I'm a grownup.
I didn't think any baby could possibly be chiller than Fifoo was, but Baby E has accomplished it in these four weeks of her life. She only cries when she's hungry, and is totally content to be held and look around for the rest of her conscious time. I spent several happy hours this weekend cuddling her while Debra and I watched Gilmore Girls.
First on the agenda for this visit was the church fall festival. Debra made these amazing Care Bear costumes out of felt and terrycloth jumpsuits! I just put together a felt tummy for myself that morning and put my hair up in "ears."
We took Fifoo to an event at the mall to get her picture taken with Disney princesses and other characters. In the end, she only consented to one photo with Doc McStuffins, but we had fun and counted 31 Elsas while we waited in line.
We also went to a church chili cook-off at someone's farm.
On my last day, we went to the Dothan Botanic Gardens to see an exhibit of creative scarecrows. My favorites were the Ice Bucket Challenge scarecrow, an impressive Shrek and Fiona with pumpkin heads, and an unintentionally hilarious "Dreams Do Come True" scene featuring a little girl looking into her future as a headless bride. I mean, I'm assuming it was unintentional… otherwise that's some dark stuff for a kids' scarecrow display!!
Spending a few days with these guys was good medicine. I've been overextended and a little depressed lately, but at Debra's I felt happy and relaxed, ate well, and slept better in a house with a newborn than I do alone with one hyper cat. I was sad to leave, but thankfully we'll see each other again at Christmas!

Once a year, Hollywood Housewife does a linkup where you document the minutiae of your daily life for one day. I participated last year and thought it would be fun to do so again! Although the action was ongoing on Instagram, I saved up my pictures for a blog post – mainly to keep people from unfollowing me en masse.
6:21 am: Stumble out of bed after snoozing four times. Yes, my alarm clock is ten minutes fast. I started that in high school, and now my sense of Morning Time is too messed up to go back.
7:00 am: Makeup drawer, unedited! I continue to dream of a real vanity.
7:15 am: Coffee and my current go-to breakfast smoothie: one frozen banana, coconut milk, almond milk, almond butter, flaxseed, honey, and a dash of chai spice. My dislike of eating the same things too often doesn't seem to extend to breakfast (or what passes for breakfast on a weekday). I've stuck with this smoothie for several months now. While drinking it, I enjoy my daily few minutes of the Today show. The Orange Room is usually my cue to get out the door.
7:30 am: As it happens, today is the day I'm getting a new roof! The workers arrive at 7:00, and by the time I leave, giant chunks of my roof are flying off. I feel sick watching this and am glad I don't have to be at home during the process.
Morning commute: time, temperature, and tunes.
8:00 am: Arrive at work. Constants: my bird of the day calendar, and the dry-erase board I live and die by. My work centers around the sale of hotels and I have to be able to reference deadlines easily.
10:30 am: On weekdays, I usually wear glasses until around lunchtime, then put my contacts in for the rest of the day. It's my compromise of my eye doctor's "four days a week" contacts recommendation, and so far everything is fine!
12:45 pm: Lunch: a very exciting Lean Cuisine and my current favorite drink mix. I don't eat in every day, thankfully.
1:00 pm: Hey look, it's a beautiful day outside!
1:50 pm: Almost done Putting In Work at the fitness room. Fall Out Boy's "The Phoenix" is rocking my running world this week.
Outfit of the Day! We had a jeans day today. This combo of skinny jeans and wedges, which I haven't tried before, makes me feel inexplicably perky and cute.
3:00 pm: After about a month of insanity, my inbox is pretty light at the moment.
5:00 pm: I wore my favorite jacket in to work last week, and have forgotten to take it home every day since because it's so much warmer when I leave. Today I finally remembered! No more shivering in the mornings!
5:45 pm: My yoga class (which recently switched to Wednesdays after seven years of Thursdays) got canceled, so I had time to go to Caroline and Matt's to meet their new baby boy! He's adorable, and I can't wait to be his cool Aunt B who lets him eat too much ice cream and stuff. ♥
6:30 pm: HEY THERE, NEW ROOF! I can't believe they did the whole thing in one day and didn't leave a trace. It looks fantastic!
7:00 pm: Dinnertime for Peach and me. I can't bear to have salad again, but I need something fast, so I throw together Edamame Rice Bowls (er, Bowl). From memory! I've gotten terrible about cooking real food for myself and want to get back on track soon.
Dinnertime reading: For some reason my Kindle won't download either the new library book or the Netgalley I've sent to it, so I flip through the new Elle that just arrived. Of the MANY magazines I never subscribed to that arrive at my house on their own, Elle is my favorite. I LOVE the gray-and-pink dress and the cutout top on this page. Keep dreaming, me.
7:45 pm: Real life: time for Peach's daily dose. She seems a little bummed today, but perks up later.
8:00 pm: How many vacuum cleaners does a one-human, one-cat household need? I splurged on the Dyson Animal two years ago when the Hoover started making a horrible noise, then ended up keeping the Hoover anyway because the Dyson wasn't cutting it on carpeted areas. Full disclosure: I have a THIRD, handheld vacuum for upholstery. This is me.
8:30 pm: Lately I've gotten accustomed to streaming Spotify in the shower. I just bought a converter to plug my phone into my iPod speaker, but my protective phone case is too thick on the bottom for the plug to work properly. Result: LIVING DANGEROUSLY.
9:00 pm: Crafty Hour in front of the Grizzlies preseason game! I had a craving for a hot cup of tea, so I'm enjoying some Earl Grey sent to me by Erin, and a cookie.
10:45 pm: Wrapping up my day in the usual way: stretching, my main man Jimmy Fallon, and what I've started referring to as "Peachy Adoration Time" (she pounces on me the moment I head for the bed).
Thanks for following along!

My life has been a nonstop flurry of activity since I was a little girl. I honestly can't remember a time when I wasn't hustling from one thing to another, and don't know how to live any other way. I probably would have been content to read, draw, write stories, and ride my bike on my own every day of my childhood. Instead, I dreamed and contemplated in stolen moments between ballet, T-ball, Girl Scouts, and church involvement. When I started marching band at fourteen, I was allowed to drop most other things, but band was so all-consuming that it didn't make me any less busy. At home, my family ragged on me when I spent quiet time in my room, or wanted to be alone for a while. I was supposed to be outgoing, do and experience as much as I could, participate in family life. Quiet down time – or rest – equaled laziness and social awkwardness. Meanwhile, kids at school gave me a hard time for being more interested in books than talking most of the time. Because I didn't know any differently, I accepted that my introversion (though I didn't even know to call it that) was a flaw to be overcome. The price of the overcoming was constant mental and physical exhaustion. One memorable day, I came home from practice, went to bed at six PM, and slept straight through to the next morning. But it never occurred to me to question or change anything.
I don't share my story angrily or to cast blame. My parents had good intentions and succeeded in making me a more outward-facing and well-rounded person. But I was in my late 20s before I understood that the type of recharging I've always needed was not only legitimate, but also shared by about half of the population. That needing unstructured stillness to sort out my thoughts and feelings, needing not to be doing something and around people all the time, didn't mean I was a lazy weirdo. It meant I was an introvert. I read Quiet and other introvert-power manifestos and felt validated. I learned to listen to myself and to scale back… a little.
But too often, I'm still that girl who powers through until she involuntarily collapses into bed at six PM – and now I'm the one making myself do it. I love people and going out and being involved in as many things as possible, but sometimes it's not what's best for me. I struggle to see free time to myself as a valid choice instead of a lack of options. The harder I push myself, the more my mood, health, and creativity suffer. But I have an innate Fear Of Missing Out and can't seem to accept my own limits. After a lifetime of playing an extrovert, I don't always know how to turn it off. I'm unsure whether I'm acting out of my true self, or my conditioning, or how different they really are anymore. Being where the action is energizes me… for a while. Then I hit my limit and want to go home. Being at home by myself is relaxing… until loneliness takes over. I can flip from give me some space to no one loves me anymore in a second.
Introvert Shame, with its shoulds and oughts, is entrenched in my heart. It's powerful, and singleness makes it worse. Singleness means I honestly have to seek out and maintain community, because I won't find it in my home, and it usually won't come to me. However, I'm really thankful for my friends who stay friends even if they don't see me frequently, who can be happy hanging out without going out, who also think an occasional night on the back patio talking over a bottle of wine is a good time. Especially when they're willing to hike out to my house in the burbs to do so.
Singleness also means that if I'm not out there and on as much as possible, my singleness could be my own "fault." The dating scene is an extrovert's game, in which seeming boring is one of the worst fouls you can commit, and I'm only capable of sparkling effusively for so long. Eventually, I burn down to the metal wire of me. It's an ongoing battle to believe that that is enough, in general, even if it's not enough for some people. I am enough, and the right person will see me even if I'm not the go-to life of the party. And even if no one ever sees me, somehow that'll be enough too.
I'm still figuring out how to respect and honor my inner introvert. Every time I think I've got it under control, I have another little crash and burn that proves otherwise. It's a long road, and if you're walking it too, I salute you.

About Leila
Hi There,
I was born in London which is where I grew up, I always enjoyed holidays in Spain hence why I decided to buy this property.
This property is our home from home.
This house was bought for our family holidays, because we enjoy the Spanish culture as well as the quality of living and environment around our home, not forgetting the weather where most of the year it's hot and sunny.
We hope you are going to enjoy your stay in our home.
Leila purchased this house in 2001
Why Leila chose Villamartin
I chose to buy this property because me and family enjoy spending our summers in Spain, especially in this beautiful area of Villa Martin our property is close to everything we need for a perfect holiday, we don't need to drive long distances to get to attractions and beaches and local centres and my son simply loves going out to Spain where he loves to spend a lot of his time in the pool or on the beach he also likes go carting, crazy golf and the funfair in the evenings.
There is a great choice of restaurants/bars to choose from which we enjoy the selection as well as the evening walks in Torrevijca where you will find street markets, restaurants, bars,clubs and shops open on the coast, not forgetting swimming in the evenings on the beach where it is all lit up. There are many street markets local to the property on different days of the week. To name a few: Playa Flamenca street market which is open every Saturday this is one of the biggest markets on the coast, followed by San Miguel de Salinas street market open every Wednesday, both markets are local to the property. There is also a shopping centre called Zenia Boulevard one of the largest in Spain which is only a 7 minute drive.
We love the sun, sea and sand which makes us feel relaxed, the weather is really nice and perfect. There is so much to do and trips to go on we never get bored!
You will also experience a good quality of life, the local produce is so fresh and tasty and reasonably priced you will definitely want to eat to your hearts content. If you like seafood the range of fish available is endless our favourites are the large prawns and sea bass at the fraction of the price you pay in the UK.
What makes this house unique
We have made our house good enough to live in and not want to leave for us to enjoy, as we feel this is important for our experience in Spain away from it all in the Uk.
The view from the balconies are picturesque especially during the evenings you will definately enjoy the scenic views.
The pool is right outside the back door patio so if you feel too hot its just seconds away to enjoy!
If you like barbecues you are in the right place we usually barbecue every other day in the barbecue area positioned in the front garden. At the same time relaxing in the sun loungers.
The property is gated which provides that extra security during your stay. We also have an air conditioning system around the house to keep you cool on those hot days and should you spend winter in Spain we also have heating. As well as all the essentials we have freesat to provide you with those British & European channels so you don't miss your favourite programs. There is also a DVD player with an album of films to watch should you want a night in. If you want to listern to music we have a hi fi system and radio so just bring your favourite CD's.

McLaren nose to the ground in search of more pace for Button and Magnussen
McLaren nose to the ground in search of more pace for Button and Magnussen 28 March, 2014 A new promising nose box failed to lift the concerns of McLaren's Jenson Button that his team could struggle to match the pace of the Mercedes at the notoriously quick Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday. The Briton was fourth fastest in Friday's opening session but was down in eighth in the second 90-minute run, with team mate Kevin Magnussen fifth and then 12th as first Lewis Hamilton and then Nico Rosberg set the pace for Mercedes. 'We're finding it tough out there today especially in the heat,' Button told reporters behind the McLaren garage where track temperatures peaked at more than 50 Celsius....

9ct white gold half carat diamond solitaire earrings 1 1
Very poor quality On-line orders come in a plastic bag - very difficult to assess them through the plastic. The earrings i was sent were different sized diamonds & the largest had a visible inclusion. Would expect much better quality diamonds for this price - they will be returned to store where hopefully they can supply a pair that match & have no visible inclusions! 12 April 2014

String.IsNullOrEmpty() appears to be an extremely well used method and I find myself wishing there were some shorthand for it. Something like
??? as it would be used in a similar context to the null coalesce operator but be extended to test for empty as well as null strings. I.e.
string text = something.SomeText ??? "Not provided";
What would be your opinions on this? Would it unnecessarily bloat the language? Would it open the floodgates for other mid-level operations to be granted such deep integration with the compiler? Or would it be a useful addition for the language.

For the most part, each copy of Vista comes in one distinct language. (Exceptions, however, do exist, such as in India where there are multiple dominant languages.) If you wish to change the language you must download a Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI). Unfortunately such is only supported by Vista Enterprise and Vista Ultimate, so as a Home Premium user there is nothing you can really do unless you are willing to either upgrade to Ultimate or purchase an English copy.

It's the news any right-thinking PS3 owner wanted to hear: Sony's Santa Monica Studio has revealed that God Of War 3 is "not the end" for the hugely popular franchise.
Despite saying that the end of GoW III won't leave fans with a "cliffhanger", producer Steve Caterson said the title was not a full stop for the series.
"Well, God of War III is the end of the trilogy," he told IndustryGamers. "We didn't leave you on a cliffhanger but I think it's not the end of the franchise. I'm looking forward to do something different if we can.
"It also might be nice to return to the franchise if we can and bring all that knowledge back from wherever we go. Anything's possible. It's premature to say what it might be, since I don't even know what I'll be doing next week."
The Official PlayStation Magazine's God Of War 3 review awarded the game 9/10.

OK here is the story. I traded for a 2009 Z28 last week and I love it. I was getting a little fletching contact with my qad so I went back to the shop to work on it. We were trying to paper tune it to get some idea of what was going on. It turns out the rest was hitting the shelf because the mounting holes are so low. Nothing we could really do....Tried the new TR Revolution, and several other rests and none would tune out far enough to the left. I finally just stuck a WB on it because it was the only rest that would tune out far enough to the left. ***? Am I the only person who has ever had this problem and if not what can I do. The WB is shooting bullet holes and I'll probably just stick with it for now. I really liked the Revolution though.

Thanks. Glad to be a member of the family. I was contacted by a guy earlier who said he had the EXACT same problem. He warned me it would sound strange before he told his story. Long and short of it he said he was told by Elite to swap the top and bottom limbs. Guy swears this instantly fixed everything and his bow tuned perfectly. Something about the deflection being different and some 2009's were shipped with the limbs wrong. Any thoughts? I don't know what to think about it.

Why modernize the US nuclear arsenal? The US government should instead fulfill its legal obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and end the nuclear weapons era through diplomacy and negotiations.

Taste of Jamaica Restaurant reviews from OpenTable diners
- Not for meMikeDined on 8/6/2014Service was quite poor, three of four orders were incorrect. Too many bone slivers in the chicken dishes. Portion size was good for the money, flavor was fair. Too many other really good places in this price range to spend my money here.
- Up & Coming GemISeafoodDined on 6/16/2014This is a fairly new restaurant so it has yet to get it's clientele off of the ground. But the food is amazing! The ambiance is much to be desired but if you're just looking for some great ethnic food, this is the place to go. I have been to Jamaica and have craved the authentic taste of their jerk chicken for years. So I was amazed to finally find a place that made authentic Jamaican cuisine, seeing as how the owner is from there. The curry chicken, jerk chicken and fried plantains were delicious. I will go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A neighborhood gemLaTanyaHWVIPDined on 4/14/2014Our first visit and we brought a Groupon. The jerk chicken and curry shrimp were so good that we paid cash to save our Groupon for our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
