Our highlights this week begin with a 2 hour "Saved by the Bell" marathon. Being the ultra hip lady she is, Heather checked out a whole season of the show on Friday and we proceded with a hardcore 80's binge. Good times. Good stone-washed jeans.
Next up, the BIG one. The day we've been looking forward to for weeks, months. The Sex and City Movie premiere. What reason would Tiffany have to go out in public with a bear mid-driff and leopard print pants? Well, we decided that instead of just seeing the movie, we would become a part of the drama. So Tiffany (Samantha), Amanda (Carrie), Heather (Charlotte), along with our friend Rachel (Miranda) thoroughly enjoyed a night of drama, beauty and friendship.
Last was an evening of fun and friendship on Sunday. For young audlt Bible study, we had a game night in honor of our friend Joycelyn's last Bible study. Before she leaves St. Louis in search of wide open spaces, we decided to have a last evening of good times. Vigorous rounds of catch phrase were played and no small amount of food consumed. We like friends.Though the last few weeks have felt stressful for some of us, there's always something to remind us that we often take ourselves too seriously. Our panic, our stress, our general need to organize and fit all things into a neat little life. It's exhausting and, if we're honest, never really effective. So when you feel that tinge of worry, that pinch of distress because life is not ordering itself according to plan, find yourself some leopard-print pants and note the people's faces as you pass by. Watch some "Saved by the Bell" and think back to when getting your bangs high enough was a major concern. Remember that if you've loved someone, laughed with someone and found a moment to appreciate something mundane, you've lived a good day. And even though your problems will still be around, they'll probably be a lot more fun to deal with the voice of Screech in the back of your head.
