The 2-Letter Word

When will I learn that NO is a 2-letter word, and not a 4-letter word? The last few weeks have been crazy busy, but subconsciously I must like it. That's all I can figure, because I just keep doing it. I remember having dinner at a friends house toward the end of September. D and I were telling them about this restaurant we wanted them to try. So we pulled out our calendars to schedule a date. After about 30 seconds, I said "So, how does November look?" That pretty much sums up my October. But hey, it's the 22nd, so it's almost over, right?!

I had a Pink Party to celebrate the lives of those effected by Breast Cancer last night, which went awesome! I was the speaker, which I was totally nervous about, but I'd say it wasn't a complete failure. I'll even post my "speech" here for you to read.

Tonight is round 2 of volleyball playoffs for M. It's a big night. Though they are ranked number 3 in the state, because of how we drew in the brackets, we face number 2 (who happen to be the 2-time reigning state champions) tonight. But I know if the girls dig deep, they can move on to Elite 8 (for the 3rd year in a row), and take it all the way to State.

Granted, if they win tonight, I'll be out of town (again) for the next round of playoffs. Go figure! I'll be attending the Atlanta Women of Faith Conference. This will be my 3rd year, and I'm very excited. I look forward to this every year. And just last week, I got even more exciting news, when I found out that Missy Robertson and Mia Robertson (Duck Dynasty's Jase Robertson's wife and daughter) will be there!! Whoop Whoop!

Oh, not only will I miss the next round of playoffs, it's also M's homecoming dance. (bummed) But I'm trying to think positive, and focus on the awesome father-daughter bond that D & M will form over preparing for the dance together.

So...I'm going to do my best to make November my "NO" month. No volunteering, No extra events, No commitments, NO!!!
