public speaking fears

I can't believe that I am back at work. Last week felt like one long continuous workday. My job requires me to be up in front of people everyday and I'm totally fine with that as long as I am working. The minute I have to stand up in front of a crowd without my flying fingers to hide behind, I succumb to stage fright. Ridiculous; I know. So Saturday, I had to speak to about 150 football players being held hostage by their coaches in a theater. They weren't there because they couldn't wait to hear what I had to say. It was out of obligation that they found themselves plunked in front of me. My heart was beating so fast I thought it would bust right out of me. I plunged through it with an expression that had fear written all over it.

After the stress of that, I went out and had coffee with the girls... it's been so long! Stef was the amazing coffee organizer and now that she's gone it's kind of gone by the wayside. With a sufficient amount of espresso down the hatch, I headed to John's house for some delectable dining. Once again, I have to say that I live a charmed life. Lisa & John, as a kitchen combo, beat out every restaurant in town.

Last night ended with a Sinful Sydney Sundae... Life doesn't get better than this.
