Here is today's To-Do List, according to Zoe...

Actually, I'm pretty sure she isn't...but this video is great.

As part of my work-sponsored continuing education, I was extended an opportunity to take a trip to Greece on a 'Following the Footsteps of Paul' trip Jan. 21-28. We'll be visiting Thessalonica, Kavala (Neapolis in Acts 16), Berea, Kalambaka (home to the famous cliffside monastaries), Delphi, and Athens. Needless to say, I'm totally stoked.

So, anyone else been and have some recommendations for stuff I shouldn't miss? Most of the time will be planned tours, but I hope to get to do some exploring of my own.

I just couldn't resist posting a link to this post. The Art of Manliness is a blog I recently added to my feed reader. Posts like this are at least part of the reason why. I mean, come on, if you're a man and you have to land a 747 in an emergency, you'll be glad you read this!

Last night I attended my first ever "Clothing Swap" Party. Talk about a great idea.

We were all encouraged to bring a bag of clothes that we hadn't put on all summer, that no longer fit, or that we were just getting tired of. Additionally, you could bring accessories, household items, etc.

I walked in with a bag of clothes that sit, unworn, in my closet for one reason or another. And I walked out with 2 new pairs of pants, 5 shirts, a dress, a necklace and a bracelet.

At the end of the evening, we bagged up all of the leftover clothes and put them in the trunk of the hostess' car and she will be dropping them off at a clothing mission this week.

Ladies everywhere, you have got to try this idea. Why shop when you could trade? :) Click Here To Continue »
