Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I hope you all can snuggle up to the one you love sometime today! I even wore pink today for the occasion! For some time now, every Valentine’s Day I usually act all like “oh Valentine’s Day is too commercialized and you should let the one you love know every day how much you love them, blah, blah, blah” BUT for some reason this year, even though you should let the one you love know every day how much you love them, I just don’t have the same feelings as other years. I’m really not sure why because I have yet to find that “someone special”. The optimist inside me says today is about love, the love I have for God, the love I have for my friends and family and the also the anticipation I have for the love to come. The pessimist inside me says that the optimist is just saying that so that I don’t feel bitter about the fact that I haven’t found that “someone” just yet. As of right now, I think the optimist will win today! I’ll just keeping looking around my cube all day at happy pictures of friends and family that I love (optimist) instead of all the roses in everyone else’s cubes (pessimist)!

I sold the iPhone! From my list the cons won! And plus Dave Ramsey told me to!

Why?

Last night at the Grammy's, Amy Winehouse cleaned up! I know she at least won 3 while I was watching. Now what I want to know is...Why? She had one song, right? This one song won all these awards? What's so great about this one song? I mean I guess it does stick in your head, that one little phrase of the song, but other than that, why? I just don't understand, she's like all you hear about lately. Someone please enlighten me!
Ironically, I heard she just got out of rehab...

What?

What? You forgot to get your ticket to Little Italy Part Due? Say it ain't so! Well you're in luck! We'll be selling at the door!
See you tomorrow! Starts @ 7:00 PM!

I'm a Dork

A coworker comes and sits down in my cube today. I notice that she has this black dirt mark on her forehead. I think, “What is that? Is that mascara? Dirt? I need to tell her! No I’m not telling her; I don’t know her that well. No I’ll tell her, I don’t want her to look in the mirror and wonder why I didn’t tell her!” So I tell her. She says “oh no it’s…” and then it hits me! I immediately say “Ashes! Oh I’m sorry! I so forgot it was Ash Wednesday!” She laughed, I laughed. She understood. I’m a dork!

Peace and Pictures

The Lord is good! I did not hear one tornado siren last night! It may have been because I was sound asleep in my bed when there were all going off! I am so thankful for peace!

This morning I went in late to work because I have to stay late so I decided I would go get tags and license renewed. Got the tags for the car then walked over to the court house to get my license renewed. I walk up to the counter, paid and the girl takes my picture and while I’m waiting she says “wow, you’re hair is much cuter now than your last picture!” uh, ok…Thanks? and here I thought my last license picture was pretty good! :D

Super Sunday Recap & Monday Morning woes

So yesterday was "super"! Not only did the NYG win the Super Bowl, church was even more awesome than that! I'm not actually a true blue Giants fan but I'm just glad to see the underdog win. For some reason I usually pull for the underdog.
Our newest member of our Pastoral Care Team, Pastor Craig ministered yesterday. I guess it was his inaugural message and I must say it was a very good one! As I was listening to his message, I kept thinking of 2 of my close friends and some people that I work with and just wished they were there to hear it! It seems funny to me that back in the day the COG was the first to tell you denomination mattered, but so many things have changed since then and now, we FINALLY mean it when we say "come as you are and let God do the rest"! I guess I'll just have to keep telling them that it doesn't matter what church you were raised in! But now I think I'll add to the end of that - "just give the man what he wants!"
So this morning I'm getting ready to leave for work and I think "I should check my other purse to make sure i get my desk keys." then quickly dismiss that thought because I KNOW I didn't take them home Friday. I leave, drive the 18.6 miles to work, get to my desk and notice that my desk keys are not where I THOUGHT I left them! Where could they be? Oh yeah, now I remember, I took them home Friday! so I walk back down to the car, leave, drive the 18.6 miles back home and find the keys in the purse that I had on Friday, that I thought about checking but didn't before I left this morning! Moral of the story: Not only is the Holy Spirit a comforter, he's a put a thought in your head that you should heed to, assistant!

Justice is served!

So I’m creeping along in traffic today as I normally do and the car in front of me, the car that is not an emergency vehicle of any kind, decides to move over to the left hand emergency lane and drive on up to avoid all the traffic and "cut line". I shake my head in disgust, but keep my composure. As traffic seems to give and we all just speed up a little, I notice that non emergency car that was in front of me still on the left hand side of the road, only he wasn’t alone! There behind him was a REAL emergency vehicle – that’s right folks, the Po-Po done pulled him over! HA!!! Sweet Justice!!!! Doesn’t he know that “Line jumping is not a spectators sport here on the Watterson in Looavul”?!
