Going to Clermont Lounge for the first time.

So true. Best blog ever.

The exciting part of being in the Junior League of Atlanta is that I have all of these meeting credits that I have to fulfill each year. {not really}

I am usually pretty good at keeping up with them, but this year time slipped away and all of the sudden here we are with a month left to go and some obligations remain. 

I logged in to review what credits I need and the remaining ways to fulfill those credits. And wouldn’t you know I needed one “other” meeting credit and there was only 1 option left for getting that “other” meeting credit. Attend I must!

So I spent my Monday night the best way I could possible imagine…at an educational event on understanding my fertility. 

God has quite the sense of humor, no?

I was in a rush to leave town on Saturday morning and had to stop by my Mom’s before I left. Rush rush rush and before I knew it was speeding on those well worn and familiar roads. A man was walking his dog and drinking his coffee, and gave me that evil glare and a quick hand motion to slow down. My typical defensive response was an immediate “I am almost 30 years old and some douche just told me to slow down.” And before I knew it, I was back in high school wearing the uniform rushing home after school. Except it’s been what? 11 years since that I was that person? Talk about a total Roger Sterling LSD enduced mind trip…

I have been successful for getting up earlier in the mornings this week, so I’ve had more primping time. You’d think I’d use the time more wisely, but instead I seem to stand endlessly in front of the mirror analyzing this and that. I shifted ever so slightly, and bam….there it was. A single solitary grey hair. Highlighted by the fancy bathroom lighting. Glaring at me even. And then another one. The last time I got my hair cut, my hair dresser was all “I didn’t know you had grey hair?!”, but I didn’t believe her. I’m certainly genetically predisposed to this “condition”, but I’m not old enough to have grey hair am I? At almost 30? {Tell me no, regardless of what the answer is.}

It’s funny how those feelings can sneak up on you. I tend to oscillate between thinking time passes so slowly (mainly 9-5, Monday through Friday), to all the sudden holy crap has it been that long? Is that the way time passes for you too? Slowly and then too quickly all at once?

I had a conversation today about how important time is, especially since it’s one of the few things I can completely control. And it seems to race past, doesn’t it? The theme has been present this week, with the startling revelations of age, the latest episode of Mad Men, and a thought provoking article I read at the beginning of the week.  It’s important to note that the things that we do with our time reflect who we are, whether we intend them to or not. Does spending the entire Sunday afternoon watching tv really reflect who I am? {Don’t answer that.} Perhaps it’s time to be more intentional with my time? Maybe if I do, I’ll finally have a better answer to the question “What have you been up to” than my standard “not a whole lot.”

Only time will tell, I suppose.
