Two Things I’m Terrible At…

If there is one thing I am horrible at, besides throwing a frisbee…

(Have I mentioned how bad I am at throwing a frisbee? I love sports and I’m decent at most of them. But when it comes to throwing a frisbee, I am a complete loser. The only person safe from getting beaned in the head is the person I’m *trying* to throw it to...and If I ever tried to play frisbee golf, I’d be lost in the woods for days and they’d have to send out search and rescue teams wearing helmets to protect them from my errant throws.)

Anyway, the *other* thing I’m really bad at is writing thank you notes. I know, that’s bad. Very bad.

I really am thankful and if you live near me or see me at the store, I’ll tell you how completely thankful I am, but when it comes to writing it out...I have some sort of deep seated issues that prevent me from sending timely notes… or just notes. Period.

It is the Kryptonite that keeps me from being the perfect Southern housewife. (Because obviously, that’s my goal in life.)

Um, yeah. So...thank you notes…

I’m overdue for a couple thank you notes here in the blog world:

Shawn W

Shawn took the old, boring 40 Day Fast logos and transformed them into awesome, spiffy, modern ones. Thanks Shawn!

Check out Shawn’s blog. Especially, this post when he showed a video of him drinking gross, dirty river water...for The 40 Day Fast.

Mark Lee

It is one of the highlights of my blogging career to have been featured in his 50 blogs in 50 days series. Seriously. That was cool. Thanks Mark! If you don’t already read Mark’s blog, you should. If you don’t have the latest cd from his band, you need to get it. Now. 

Crystal, Annie and Jeanine

These lovely women helped me edit my ebook.

I know, I know. I hear you say, “Ebook? What ebook?”

And I respond, “The one that’s still sitting in my documents folder. Untouched because the idea of trying to format something to look cool as a PDF was overwhelming to me and caused me to consistently procrastinate.”

My plan now is to use the content, which was so nicely edited by Crystal, Annie and Jeanine, as a series of blog posts.

You

Thank you for visiting this little corner of the blogosphere. Thanks for commenting, interacting, encouraging and challenging me. I really am so thankful for all of you....

...even if I never send a note.

Kat - Hi. Found ya from Brody’s blog. I liked this PPT of yours. Full of thanks and full of humor. Always a good combo. I enjoyed purusing your blog - nice. Hope you have a blessed week.

In Christ - Melody Milbrandt

Awww, thanks so much for the kind words!  I really do dig your blog!  And maybe it’s time to crank out the last 17 or so blogs in the series, don’t ya think?

As far as the ebook goes, say it ain’t so!  You were my inspiration for trying to put together one of my own… I totally understand.  Putting together something that big and that permanent feeling is a little daunting at every turn.  Which is why, um, I’m still hanging out at the beginning

your welcome for visiting… thank you for visiting me too!

love your blog too…
