I won’t be here next week. But instead of letting this place “go dark,” as they say, I’ll be posting articles I’ve written for other blogs.

• First – no, I don’t know who “they” are or what “go dark” really means.
• Second – yes, I will stop using the quotation marks like they grow on trees.
• Third – do you think it sounds too fancy if I call guest posts “articles”?

Oh, there I go again with the quotes. I don’t know what’s come over me.

As I mentioned last week, I’m on vacation and (mostly) out of commission. I hope you’ll still stop by, but if you need to take a vacation, I’ll understand.

{Hmm…what does it mean if you take a break from Giving Up on Perfect? Does that mean you automatically become perfect during that vacation? Interesting…}

A few more things while I’m at it:

• We will not have Bible study on Monday. We’ll resume next Monday (the 6th) at 8 p.m. CST to discuss the homework from Week 3. Just a reminder – our memory verse is Philippians 4:8.
• Do you read Simple Mom? Tsh wrote a great post last week that I’ve been dying to share. It spoke so much to me, to my life – and I just know it will bless you, too. Or make you think. Or both. Check it out: The Clutter You Can’t See.
• My new favorite blog is Diary of a Southern Drama Queen. Leslie Ruth writes about her life, and I don’t know what it is – the diary? the southern? the drama queen? – but she cracks me up. And we’ve already decided to be BFFs if and when I move to Tennessee. Totally.

All right, now. You all don’t have too much fun while I’m gone. I’ll catch up with you when I get home!
