{November 11, 2008}   GNO is the way to go!

So, I happened across a “Twitter party” tonight – GNO (Girls Night Out).  It utilizes Twitter to hold a mass conversation every Tuesday night about a weekly topic.  Tonight the topic was “Holiday Foods” and there were quite a few yummy recipes shared!  Thanks ladies for the wonderful conversation and the amazing recipes – I will definitely be back next week!!  :-)

 

P.S. Totally grateful for the global search tool on Tweetdeck!  There were so many posts to keep up with!

I just received an email from a friend/former boss from Alabama who wrote to invite me to the Heritage Sunday/Homecoming/Scholarship Student Reunion at the church where I used to work.  My experience in Alabama was not the best on the whole, but my time at Northport United Methodist Church was truly a blessing.  I want to go and see all of the sweet and lovely people I’ve missed over the years, but I’m still under the shadow of not wanting to see certain other people.  What should I do? 

I suppose that this situation is a micro-version of life.  We go through our various and sundry lives mixing the good with the bad.  We treasure those people who have made a difference for the better in our lives, but some of us are doomed to forever hide from those things that may be painful.  Isn’t it funny/sad?
