HAPPY MONDAY

The weekend flew by so fast. I was off early on Friday and was able to get SO much accomplished in my bedroom YAY! I've been looking forward to a clutter free room for months and months and months. Got rid of a LOT of garbage. Next on the list...

1. Clean/De Clutter the Office
2. Clear out Pantry
3. Clean out ALL Closets
4. Garage..nuff said
5. Finish bathroom
6. Wash our MoUnTaIn of clothes

In no specific order ha!


Still looking for my fancy Easter rags :) Hoping to find something inexpensive and white... Bought a black dress last week and it's beautiful, but don't want it for Easter. Shucks, I'll have to go out shopping again :-\ Woe is me ha ha!

Last, but not least... I will bless the Lord at all times and His praises shall continually be in my mouth. I had an awesome experience praising God on the way to work this. I truly thank the Lord for his manifold blessings in my life. I thank Him that I can truly see what's important now.

Life IS grand!

Dislike...

Death just STINKS! Went to a funeral yesterday for a second cousin's two (2) year old daughter who was killed in a car accident. She was riding with her Father and paternal Grandmother on the way to Mexico when the car had a blowout. Head injury is what is thought to have taken her out of here. So so very sad.

Since I truly understand what the family is feeling at this moment my heart aches for them. Death is so easy for the deceased. It's those who are left behind that truly suffer. Please pray for the Lawrence and Salas families.
In Additional DISLIKE NEWS...
I was ATTACKED by one of these....

YES! A Nasty BAT attacked me as I was leaving the office for a lunch time shopping trip...

EEEWWWWW!

We have bats which live in the concrete walls of our parking garage. In the creature's defense, I think he was trapped in the glass walkway and didn't know how to get out. Either way... it was quite disgusting and I actually had to end up running towards the parking garage and to my car.

Thoughtful Tuesday

Had a pretty good sized migraine this morning. Called in to work, but I started feeling better so I threw myself into a bath. threw my hair up into a pony... and went in to work.

I feel like such an ADULT!!

I can recall times past when I would have taken advantage of my "time away" but since I had meetings and stuff I went in (turns out they rescheduled)

Anyhoo.. I'm feeling better and that's a GREAT thing.

On another note. My little cousin was killed in a car accident last week. The funeral is tomorrow and my sisters and I are supposed to sing. I so don't want to because it will be sad, but I would want folks there for me so. We will sing. Still can't believe it. Death is just so SAD.

Health Care reform was passed and signed into law today. Still a long way to go, but so far I think it's a good thing. I'm so frustrated that people who have no IDEA what is in the bill are against it. What exactly is it that you don't like? The fact that senior citizens will be able to afford their medication? Is it that BIG Insurance will be forced to care for even the very ill? Or is it the fact that everyone will have the BENEFIT of health care? No I think it's that "this" President did it.

Oh Well....Happy Tuesday All!

SPEEDING

I absolutely HATE getting tickets and DETEST having to go to Defensive Driving. I have to take an online course due to the fact that I waited till the LAST Minute to take the course. Ugh!

I got a ticket on Dec 24, 2010, yes Christmas Eve by an EVIL police office. Actually that's two tickets; one for speeding and another for not having a licence plate in the front of the vehicle. Common! Give me a break. So anyhoo I got the tickets in December, totally ruined my day, but

It was my goal to take DD in January. I never got around to it...and so here we are. I need to take the online test... pass the course....and get the certificate to me in the next week or so.

Frustration! It's my own fault, but still frustrated none the less.

Suppose I'll take off a half a day to get on it... (sad face)

IN A NUTSHELL...




So I think we're back in business! I had an issue with my blog for several weeks, but it's all good now. SO much has happened since the last real post in August 2009.

  • We came into the new year! Praise God for 2010.


  • Went to Memphis for the Holy Convocation for the first time ever!


  • One of my friends found out she was preggers....and had the baby lol.


  • We left our old church and moved Back to our home church... DOMINION COGIC! YAY!!


  • I started selling Premiere Designs Jewelry..and then kinda let the whole thing fizzle. But I'm getting back on it :-)


  • Thanksgiving....it was at Moms and it was great!


  • Christmas.... it was a sweet time


  • Anthony and I celebrated 7 years of wedded bliss lol. I still can't believe it's been this long. Seems like just yesterday I was giving my home, cell, upstairs, and pager number to this young bald Engineering major from Corpus. 10 years later and we're sssttttiiiiiillllll together. Still love him so very much.


  • Still working on the Master bath renovation. UUGGGHHH. Partly finished. We can at least use it now, but still can't wait for it to be complete.


  • Anthony volunteered to do a bathroom renovation for a friends Mother. It's coming to a close today. It was a long journey, but well worth it!


  • My MIL (Mother In Law) started pharmacy tech school. Super proud of her.


  • Anthony crossed over 30 and into 31!


  • Anthony started school...again. He just can't stay away lol. He's in a ministry school this time. It runs a total of 2 years. I believe it will be quite beneficial.

It's been quite an interesting few months. We were going to add "start a new chapter in our lives" to the list, but I suppose it's not time yet. God said otherwise. Bummed a bit... but I am learning that Gods' plan is the best plan! His ways are not our ways and neither His thoughts our thoughts. I just want to do HIS will!
