First of all, I’m sorry blogging friends I have been really busy with school – 25 page papers, and such!  Also, I’ve been working on my book in my “spare” time -sometimes from 6am-6:30am- and for some reason I only have enough creative energy for book writing or blogging.  How sad for me.  I miss blogging.

Quick update: Last weekend I was a bridesmaid in one of my best friends wedding –Jamileh & Elie.  It was beautiful and so much fun.  Ransom was the underslept, cranky ring-bearer whom I had to decide not to be mad at for stressing me out during my friends special day.  A just-turned-3 yr. old really is too young for two longs days of wedding activities but what kid under 35 pounds doesn’t look adorable in a tuxedo?  You tell me that.   Here’s a few of my favorite shots…

Along with 23 other students & emerging leaders I was invited to Nashville, TN for a gathering hosted by the Reformed Church of America (the denomination of our church & my seminary) to discuss issues in the RCA including racial reconciliation, reaching the post-modern generation, etc.  Yada yada yada my plane broke, we took off late, I missed my connector & I here I am -of course :)- STUCK in the Detroit Airport…hence the blog! 😉

on to my love for red hot passion…

With all my papers & tests and junk I had no time to pack or think through my outfits for this trip (like I usually do) and when I went through security today I was AGHAST!  The security lady who saw my stuff going through said to me, “well, you must really like red.”

I looked down only to realize that I had on my red jumper dress, red lip gloss, my bright red fake, acrylic nails from Jamileh’s wedding, holding my red cell phone case, watching my red macbook case go through the belt, next to my red laptop bag, next to my red pashmina scarf (Jamileh bought me as a bridesmaid gift:), which was next to my red wool pea coat, which was next to my red flight pillow, which was next to my red purse!!!!!  OMG, I was soooooo embarrassed!  And worse yet, there is nothing to be done all day of my over-red catastrophe!

WHY MUST I ALWAYS GO OVERBOARD WITH THINGS THAT I LOVE?  One day I decide red is my favorite color the next, it’s taken over my life.

I am not lying or exaggerating when i tell you that the guy next to me on the plane mentioned it, “wow, you surely are color-coordinated,” AND the nice woman next to me at the on-line cafe (where I am now): “oh, i love your red macbook case…and cell phone case…and purse….and scarf… you must love red like I do,” she proclaimed with all of her red paraphernalia meanwhile we both look TACKY as all get out!

I am mortified today by my choices.
