Everyday Carrie

Okay. That title doesn’t make sense to many of you but it is from a story of a friend’s aunt. Anyway… it is what keeps popping into my head lately bc i have lost it! i mean lost it!

Last night as I was getting ready for today and I realized that my wallet is in Nashville. That is a problem since I am not in Nashville. That means all my $ and any id is there too. Hmmmm. Well, it is being FedExed to me so I am poor and driving illegally until it arrives.

This morning I get Nate and I all packed up and pull out of the driveway. Cruising along. Out of the neighborhood. I forgot my computer! When I go back to get it- Beasley (our boston terrier) greets me at the door. This is highly unusual since she is crated while we are gone. Good thing I went home.

So a friend meets me and takes me to work today (bless her) since we had meetings not at our usual office and not close to my house to where I felt comfortable driving illegally. She even drove through the Chick to get me a sweet tea and some minis! Well… I leave my keys in her car and don’t realize it until she is a lunch headed south and I am headed north.

Hello! Where is my brain?

Nate has an open door policy to meet with you at anytime but don’t be offended if he decides to eat his shoe while you are in a meeting. I assure you that he is still listening.

I hate making decisions. Most days I can’ t decide where to go to lunch. I could tell other people what to do all day long but when it comes to me I draw a blank or become frozen with the inability to make a decision. It helps to be married to someone that is more impulsive than me. That makes it interesting too though because we can counteract each other. Anyway, I think I am afraid to make the wrong decision or sometimes make one that will take me from the known to the unknown. I guess you could call that a lack of faith, huh?

When I started my first job I had the option to go to NY or to Boston and had one afternoon to decide. I then had one week before I had to move. I don’t know that I would have ever done it if I had been given weeks to think about it. It was one of the best experiences of my life and that is how I need all things to be decided. Black and white. Otherwise I will go on for awhile thinking back and forth.

Well, all that to say… I am trying to make some decisions.  Whew!
