Nerd Alert

I am a nerd on so many levels... and I am okay with it.

Exhibit A: I heart Twilight.

Yep. I am hosting a happy hour tonight with some fellow nerds and then going to see the movie.

Exhibit B: I am going a week after the opening so I don't have to fight the teens and the freaky Twi-Moms.

Yep. I am officially too old for midnight showings and squealing 16yr olds or 40 somethings.

I kinda feel better that I got that off my chest.

Besides watching my guiltiest pleasure tonight, I am so excited about making some tried but true recipes and experimenting with new recipes for these

lovely ladies.

 

The new recipes are...

Pomegranate Cosmos from my best imaginary girlfriend.

Beef Satay from my new favorite place for recipes.

Vanilla Lime Pineapple Skewers from my fellow nerd.

I am also looking forward to finishing a conversation without running to a little person after they had fallen, taking Wyatt to the bathroom right in the middle of a personal epiphany, or cutting up the kids' food and making sure they had eaten enough while mine gets cold.

Let's hear it for NERDY GIRL TIME!!!

UNCLE!!!

You know the feeling when God is tugging on your heart and you can't get away? If you don't, it's like the most persistent 3 year old wanting a glass of water and you are ingoring them doing something frivolous... You know what you should be doing... but you don't want to... which sounds crazy. To ignore a life nourishing need in order to pay attention to some silly thing... Well, I am listening to that tug.. I have cried "UNCLE" to the Lord and I am re-opening my mind to this whole blog thing.

I'm not saying that this forum will be "life nourishing", but who knows... maybe me searching for the authentic person that God wants me to be will be beneficial to my soul (earth to Amber).

And that is what I have been wrestling with. I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing on this "thing".

I have no idea how vulnerable I can be on here... I am freaked out...

Some people may say,,, "Just make it about your creativity", "Make it about Wyatt", or "Make it about your life".... the problem is is that all of those things are super important and deep to me... They all lead me back to my pursuit of who God wants me to be.

Also, I am an open book to a fault. Some people can keep it all bottled up and release in the comfort of their own home under their own conditions...I have no idea how to do that. I have never had that ability. I am the type of person that, if you care for me, and you ask me how I am doing... I tell you. Kind of a novelty, but it is who I am...

So, who ever reads this, pray for me. Pray that I have the courage to be vulnerable and seek the authentic person that God has created.

Love,
Amber

ps, I hate the name of my blog... Can you help a sister out and tell me what I should name it? Pretty please... with sugar on top?
