What A Day!

It's amazing that I got anything accomplished today. My work was interrupted this morning and then my mind wandered all day long and I still got work done.

I start work today and at 9:30, I find out that my boss' dad had passed away. His dad had throat cancer but seemed to be doing well. And Wayne is so private that no one even knew that his dad was back in the hospital Thursday. I immediately go online to find out funeral information and find out the calling was Sunday. And today from 8a.m. until 10:30 when the funeral services start. It was 9:45! I left immediately calling the sales reps. Got to the funeral home at 10:05. After I talked with Wayne a while, I then fussed at him on how he really should have called. I could have brought food to feed people or helped them in any way. But that is Wayne, private, wants no fuss...he'll always be that way.

I am glad I was able to go. And one good thing, I finally met his wife Rachel. We share the same birthday, except I am younger. Couldn't tell it though, she is beautiful!! The coolest thing ever, she was introducing me to all of the grandkids. She had taken a tie from Wayne's dad, cut the skinny part on the back and made her 3 month old grandson a tie for today. How cool was that!! I told her the stories Wayne tells about her, and with us having the same birthday, we are so much alike. Can't wait to have lunch with her!

How Funny Is This?!!!

Had to laugh this morning. I just recently shut down my facebook account. And to be honest, I really don't miss it. I miss a handful of girls and one of the guys. But have so much more time. It really is a distraction. I've been emailing the girls, so life is good!!

About 3 months ago, I joined this new church. Went to a new members dinner and got connected with a connect group for single moms. They only meet once a month for dinner, a speaker and then small groups. Well, seems like this weekend they placed me in a small group. I get this email this morning from my single mom over 40's leader to join in on their discussion group. I click onto it and it takes me to the facebook sign in page!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! I wonder how many moms spend alot of their time on that one!! Well, been there, done that....I won't be in on that discussion group!! Although, I would assume you probably don't get alot of men making inappropriate comments! :)

Powerful Prayers

I love to get lost in prayer. Sorry to say, it doesn't happen that often but today was one of those days. Usually, I'm praying short prayers throughout the day. Today, I was so caught up in the worship music and we stopped for prayer. I was so lost in my prayers, that I have no clue what the church was praying for. I was praying especially hard for 2 of my friends. Next thing I know, I've missed half of the music and tears rolling down my face. Yesterday, I was so sad and helpless....today, the power of prayer brought such peace. :)

Someone Needs to Pray for Patience!!

Jon and I were driving home from the movies this afternoon and got a little stuck in traffic. There was a truck ahead of us that got off of the interstate and missed the parking for Blue Bayou Water Park. He stopped our lane, with his blinker on, trying to get over....obviously not from this area. There was this truck behind me that just kept laying on his horn. Then we get going, he is right on my bumper until I turn about 5 miles down the road . He even layed on his horn another time. We were on a two lane road with a car in front of me, I couldn't go faster nor could I get over. When we stopped at a red light, I started cracking up laughing. In his windshield, right in front of him on his dashboard.....his Bible!!! I am going to think the best and not think that he was the most impatient driver and assume that he really, really had to pee!!

Every Girl wants Plump, Pouty Lips

I laughed off and on all day at my latest mishap. I get fever blisters at least 3 or 4 times a year. Stress, fever or sun will bring them out. A couple of years ago, Jon's hairdresser told me about L Lysine, it's a vitamin supplement that is for skin and lips. If I feel a fever blister coming on, I start taking 4 to 6 tablets a day and you never see the fever blisters. They just dry up or don't pop out. NOT this time!!

Monday, I start feeling a little feverish or like I got too much sun. I start feeling fever blisters coming out on my bottom lip. I start popping L Lysine tablets. Get home from work and spend two hours in the upper 90 degree weather mowing grass. Take three tablets when I go to bed. I'm thinking my lips will be fine but I wake up to this monster blister Tuesday. By Wednesday, I have this huge bottom lip even after taking 7 tablets a day!! Today it was a little better but not much. It really bothered me until I figured out where I went wrong.......

The older you get, the thinner your lips get. So, being single and starting to care a little about how I look, I had bought some lip plumping stuff. I've used it for a few months and have not had any problems. However, when you put it on, it burns your lips a little. Saturday, I'm in San Antonio, hotter than blazes! I put on my lip plumper and when it dries, put on my lip stick. Well my lip stick comes off through the day and I'm out in the sun for a few hours. I think the lip plumper and the sun combined just cooked my lips!!! I have to admit, my bottom lip was extremely plump.....not the way I wanted. Just swollen with a fever blister!!! I guess this will be one of those live and learn experiences!! :)

First Step to Ending an Addiction

Last night, I finished writing down the last of my friends' email addresses and birthdays. Then took the plunge and deactivated my facebook account. My psychologist hates facebook so he should be proud!! It was just such a cool way to laugh with my friends and just stay connected. It's just sad that the internet gives people such nerve to say and do anything. And I never want to hurt anyone's feelings so I don't block them. I think I need more backbone!!

Life without facebook.....I think it will be productive and give me a chance to communicate with my friends more personably. :)
