I started this post yesterday and decided I needed to leave my computer at work so I could focus on packing and getting ready for the conference. so within [[ ]] is my panic stricken "I've done nothing!" I have officially packed, but I'm not sure how well.
[[The Influence Conference is in three days, and to be honest I'm starting to freak out. I haven't started packing, unless you count mentally considering what the best outfits would be. I've considered buying all new clothes just in case any outfit I would wear has already been in a picture on my blog - before realizing most of the ladies there have never even seen my blog and it will be OK. I've looked at the sessions but haven't chosen any for sure yet except the ones taught by women who will probably leave me star-struck.]]
Ladies, I am so unlike myself right now. Usually I am a planner. I would be packed right now. I would have a game plan right now. I would have mapped out the way from the hotel to the airport even though I'll be taking a shuttle. I can't even believe my life. God is taking complete control and letting me rest in each moment of each day, even when I start to worry about what comes next.
Instead of continuing my downward spiral of nervousness, I will celebrate being in Indianapolis in three short days by joining Kimberly at {This Healthy Endeavor} for an ABC linkup. It's been years since I've done one of these so this feels like the right time. :)
A- Accent you wish you had
I would love either a southern belle or british accent. They just sound so classy!
B- Baking or Cooking?
I love to bake, but cooking is more useful. I don't usually eat whatever I bake. It is more of a therapeutic exercise.
C- Can't Get Enough.....
country music right now. It's out of control. haha
D- Drink you can't go without
coffee. I love coffee. Also, my go-to drink after I got braces my second year of law school has been sprite. There is something about it that is so refreshing!
E-Emotion you get when those Hallmark commercials come on
I am a crier through and through. There are several that make me tear up no matter how many times I see them. The commercial that gets me the most right now though is from Google.
F-Fictional Character you relate to
For some reason I have the urge to answer Lexie Grey. Which is probably kinda true, minus the photographic memory. I'd love a photographic memory!
G-Guilty Pleasure
Right now it is Dairy Queen Blizzards. When we aren't talking food, it is Nordstrom Rack. I love that store!
H- Hometown
Los Angeles, California.
I- Ice Cream Flavor
Mint 'n Chip, but only the green kind with the smaller chocolate chips. White Mint 'n Chip does not taste the same.
J- Jumpstart Go To (aka how you get your day started)
I start every day hitting the snooze. Then follow it up with pouring a cup of coffee while I brush my teeth.
K- Keepsake Item
During my grandpa's funeral my grandma gave my sister and I each a vintage handkerchief. I keep it in my jewelry box.
L- Life Verse(s)
Joshua 1:9
M-Memory that makes you smile
Any of our family vacations in Hermosa Beach.
N- Non-fiction writer you want to have dinner with
Beth Moore, absolutely.
O- Opulent Item You Want (something that is way out of your price range)
A downtown Seattle condo in a high rise. I am trying really hard to ignore that urge because they are outrageously priced.
P-Pattern You Love
I've been a polkadots girl since I was 5 :).
Q- Quirk You Have
I don't know, I try not to think about my quirks... haha I have noticed since "vloging" that I say "So, there's that..." a lot. Which I find annoying.
R- Relaxing Spot
Anywhere by the water. I am so peaceful and at home by the water.
Even when camping by a lake.
S- Snow or Sun?
Sun for sure. If I never saw snow a single day of my life, I'd be fine with that. :)
T- TV show you miss
The OC. I loved that show!
U- Unique Fact About You
I'm apparently really good at pretending I'm not terrified. Recently several people have commented on how inspiring it is that I'm so brave in new situations. I'm DYING in new situations and trying to pray-away a panic attack or keep from hyperventilating!
V- Valentine's Day ...big deal or not?
I think it is. Why not? A day you should make each other feel extra special sounds great to me.
W- What's Your Love Language?
This is funny. When I first took the test my love language was Quality Time, with physical touch at a zero. Now they're tied for first place :).
X- X-Factor Song You Would Sing (sidenote: I don't watch the show...)
I don't watch the show. How does it work? Do you pick a song like American Idol? (I don't want AI either so I'm assuming that's what happens.)
Y- Yoga or Not?
I LOVE Yoga. If I could afford a membership around here I would already be doing it in Seattle.
Z- Zealous Dream You Have
Hmm... I'd like to publish a book. I "won" National Novel Writer's Month last year, but then slacked on editing. I'd like to follow through on the entire process one day.
