First Foibles

I never thought of myself as one who believes in signs of any kind, but I think there's something working against this lil' plan of mine. The evidence:

1. I'm up at 11:54 pm posting to the blog, and I have to get up at 6:00 am ... and I really like sleep. (ok, this isn't really a sign, it's really just my fault!)

2. I set two alarms for tomorrow morning. Or at least I think I did ... when I checked my cell phone alarm, I had set the alarm to 6:00 PM! Good thing I'm anal and double checked. While I'm sure oversleeping my first morning would make for a funny story to look back at later, I'm sure it wouldn't be funny to all the girls dragging their butts out outta bed to meet up with me tomorrow!

3. I can't find my workout shoes! I've searched everywhere in the apartment, and I've found all of my lovely flats (in practical colors like metallic silver and pink), my flip flops, my wedge heels (seriously, like I need an extra 3.5 inches in height!) ... but NO WORKOUT SHOES TO BE FOUND. Thus, I'm forced to fall asleep not knowing what shoes I'll be wearing in the morning! THE HORROR.

4. So, The Dish area was on fire about a month ago. You know how they call California 'The Golden State'? Turns out all that 'gold' on the hills is a whole lotta dead grass. And dead grass + no rain + heat = fire. Christi reminded me that they had closed the area after the fire; so I double checked that the hike area was opened. Thankfully it is (check here if you don't believe me!)

Despite all of these little foibles, I'm determined that tomorrow will be awesome. And, like my good friend Xianne reminded me: "Starting positive is half the battle won. The other half you can't take care of, but God most certainly will :)"
