Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the breath. Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important. Just lie down.
Last night’s dinner with the in-laws! Filet mignon, duck confit risotto, and shrimp n’ grits at one of my fave downtown restaurants… Yum!
So weary…
It has been such a crazy week. First, my dad came over the weekend and was sick/miserable the whole time with what ended up being strep throat. Then Chuck’s mom called Sunday night and said they were heading down to visit Monday-Thursday. I have two events after work Wednesday/Thursday, then another friend coming into town Friday night, for the weekend. I also am hosting a wives’ event on Saturday afternoon.
Work has been insane too, because the Wilmington “metropolitan statistical area” lost Brunswick County in the last census… so all hell has broken loose. The work in to figuring out why has largely fallen on my shoulders – so suddenly, I’m an economics/urban planning subject matter expert!
I’m exaggerating slightly, but it is definitely hijacking my days, so my regular work isn’t getting done quite as efficiently as I’d like. At least I am learning a lot…and getting some exposure to higher-ups in the process.
Somewhere thrown in there, I also need to write a letter to officials in Colorado about my mom’s legal/mental health situation, and get it in the mail before her court date… which is rapidly approaching. No time, no time, no time! (I guess maybe I should have done that instead of writing this blog entry? Lol!)
Anyways. Stretched thin much?? Sunday night should be relaxing 🙂
Needed a statement necklace. So of course I bought two!
In fact, I did a lot of damage in general last night. Some purchases were legit long time needs, while others were pure frivolity. But inshallah – spring fashion (my fave!) only comes once per year!
Beautiful spring blooms at work yesterday! Now if only the warm weather would show up to stay… (at Great Wilmington Chamber Of Commerce)
W&M Buys Hospitality House
Wow! I used to party at this place every Friday night for karaoke and crappy rap music with classmates and sketchy townies!! It will make a beautiful dorm, but what ever will I do when I go back to my alma mater to play??

Love my new lavender bow blouse. Yes, this is a shameless bathroom mirror shot… Excuse the toilet!
The Chamber of Commerce hosted a CEO Golf Tournament at Eagle Point – and this is the view from the golf cart Emily and I were driving. This was before we got lost, attacked by a sprinkler, and drove across the middle of the fairway. Thank goodness we are blonde and can get away with these things! (at Eagle Point Golf Club)
