Funny, VERY Republican Brother

My brother is so funny sometimes! Tonight he went on and on about the change, which we should hopefully see soon in America. He said he didn't think it would happen overnight but expected something to happen by Friday afternoon. On and on he went with his ideas and thoughts. I have to admit I am excited to see some new blood in the White House, even though I am not Democrat, (Liberation I am!)...but still looking forward to having good things to happen...even though I am very doubtful I still pray and hope for the best...anyway back to my brother. My SIL asked what others at his work did today and he said at 12:01 he and others ran up and down the halls waving American flags and sang God Bless America. With that...I blew my chili out of my mouth and into Maggie's hair!!! I couldn't believe I did that! It was like a fountain!! This day I will always remember the day history was made and then also remember blowing chili out my mouth and into Maggie's hair.

Short Hair = Bad Weed

I got my haircut yesterday by a new person. OMG it is short. Cute style but not on my face shape. I won't cry like I used to when I was young and it mattered so much to me. I will just be mature and know my hair grows like a weed in a manicured garden.

I am thankful for my job but I have to say, there are a few ladies who are so immature it makes it difficult for me to work with them. Two of them report directly to me and it is extremely difficult to ask them to do anything without them overreacting. They also enjoy talking about me and other people. Funny they seem to be best friends but yesterday one was talking about how the other was so lazy. Of course this is never to me but my manager who told me one of them told her this. I told my manager that having one say the other was lazy was calling the kettle black...or at least I think that is the old saying.

My friend Luci, in case everyone didn't know already, is pregarant. She found out yesterday she is having a boy and they are both now excited to know he is okay (all genetic testing came back good) and is a boy. They both wanted a boy so I am so very happy for them both. Luci is in her 40's and the pregreancy wasn't planned so we are thankful everything is okay!

Giving Thanks

It is a new year and with this, and prior to this I started looking for a devotional/journal of sorts to write down a few of my thoughts, note people I want to pray for, be uplifted with a saying and of course, give thanks daily. I have been looking for about a week or 2 for the perfect journal. I found several, which could have severed my purposes but something wasn't right with them all. I wanted to be able to read a positive reading every day and then each night, write a few sentences about my day then write my thanks. Something short and sweet...but it seem this type of journal is NOT out there...(maybe I should publish one...) Anyway my last ray of hope was at the Family Christian bookstore in Carmel. The other Christian bookstores didn't carry what I wanted but I kept hope and went there after work. They did have lots to choose from too but not exactly what I wanted. Of course, I wanted this book to fit into my pocketbook too...not exactly easy to find too! I was so pleased!!! On the last stand I looked at was the pocket sized book I wanted!! The only thing this purple little journal doesn't have is my inspirational quote/uplifting words...but I remembered when standing there, I have so MANY of those books. Couldn't I just read one of those to get my inspiration and use my perfect purple journal for everything else...all for the clearanced price of $2.50. Perfect! When I showed my friend Amanda (Who also has been on the hunt for me...) she was so excited about what I was going to do with it, she bought one for herself too! We both walked out of that store feeling pretty good about our purchase and the amount it cost us both!
