Busy indeed!


I am so tired...still.
Saturday I didn't get any sleep until noon...and then it as only for a couple hours...while everyone else kept working...because I had to be back to work at 8. I ended up waking up before I wanted to though, but that was ok because Cliff was in for the day and he included me in the dinner plans...he was only planning on taking Mom, but since I was awake. And then...we were 3 hours late getting the Sunday paper done, which I had to stay for because for some reason, I'm normal mailroom personnel for the Sunday paper...so I didn't get home until almost 8am. But I did sleep pretty much all day Sunday after that, once I got to sleep [my feet hurt sooo bad]. I still haven't completely recovered. At least I have the rest of tonight before I have to be back to work Tuesday at 5.
I got to see five shooting starts last night...I missed a few, because Paige and Winnie and Roger saw some that I missed :( But it was so good to be able to lay on the ground and just watch for the stars...it's been a few years since I've been able to do that. Did anyone else get to see any? Already I am looking forward to next August's star shower :)
I just read an excellent book. "Deception" by Randy Alcorn. A murder mystery, which isn't usually my thing, but it was by this guy and I've read another of his books, "Safely Home" which is a book that I think ought to be read by every Christian. There is just a reality about his writing that I find refreshing...not to mention that it's riveting as well. I even talked Alfonse into ordering the first two books in the series for the library - which is another great thing about this book...it's so well written, that you can read it without having read the first two and don't get lost...but it does create a desire to read the first two...because you've like, gotten attached to the characters and you just want to know more about them.
Next on my list to read is "Skin" by Ted Dekker, another excellent Christian suspense writer. I'll let you know what I think about it as well.
Closing on that thought. :D

You're very occupied; it's always interesting to hear what some people think of books.

Types of Friends

The other night, the friend that I watch tv and movies with was sharing something she had learned from a MOPS meeting. About the two different types of friends. Since that discussion, I've realized that there are at least 2 more types of friends and goofball that I am, I thought I'd share it all with you! Don't you feel lucky and special? :) 1. Mushroom Friends : These friends spring up over night and are in our lives just for a season. Kind of like the friends I made in school. The season is way over as I didn't even get Christmas cards from them this year [yes, I sent them cards]. 2. Oak Tree Friends : These friendships develop slowly, starting out small and laying down deep root systems. They last forever no matter how far apart the friends grow; time, distance, oceans and death cannot break the bond of friendship. They are the kind that years after being out of communication, if they heard you were in trouble {death in family, illness, etc...} they would drop stuff

My Happy Face

There is something wrong in this world when they steal the magnetic smiley face off the back of your car. Which someone has done. But, I only rolled my eyes heavenward and said, "Whatever!" Must be the neighborhood kids were bored or something.

A Situation

Ok. I need to think out loud here for a bit while I wait on email. I have a situation going on that could become tough. A bit of background: About 2 years ago, a single man started coming to my church and showed an interest in me. It lasted about a month and a half, with him giving me mixed signals all the time...since I have been praying for a husband for a while now, at the time, it seemed like my prayers were being answered despite the confusion. It all came down one night about midnight in his parking lot and I haven't talked to him since. He only stayed around for another 7-8 months, and those were very hard months. He lied to me and mislead me, often. Like it was second nature for him. It was made even more traumatic by a discovery of mine on a website shortly after he left the area. In September 2005, I had a blind date that was far from fruitful. My singleness and desire to be married is known to all in church, and so... To the present: Yes, another single man has walked in
