Ahhh

So today I am feeling crappy and can't get to the wit deep inside due to my stress. I had planned for a day like this and saved a post that I would then publish when I could think of nothing else. Seeing is how that day is today, I logged in pressed post and wait... the post showed up back on the day I wrote it. Not today. This would be fine, but I agreed to 29 days and now it looks like a double post from several days ago.
Fits in just perfectly with the rest of the day. I swear I hear my bed calling me back, shaking it's finger and whispering to the frame "I knew she should have never left today."

The post I am referring to is called Revealing.

The Third W

When? That is my question. When will I get to the age where I don't feel the extreme urge to push off and take a ride on the grocery cart through the parking lot?
I am just glad it hasn't happened yet, because last night after I finished my grocery shopping and loaded the car and was going to return my cart I got the urge. As I do most of the time, I went for it. It was a beautiful night, the wind was in my hair and for a brief moment I felt what Rose must have felt at the tip of the Titanic... ok maybe not, but it is FUN!

Lunch Time Woes

Do you ever have thoses days when you brought your lunch to work, but when lunch rolls around you are starving and the lame Healthy Choice you brought sounds like the worst possible option? That was me today. I could have gone for something good and filling like chicken fried steak, but instead I endured the torture that was my Healthy Choice. I just finished eating and swear I feel hunger pains already. No satisfaction with that lunch.
It is going to be a long afternoon...

Wow!

What a game! That pass that Eli made in the 4th quater was one of the most amazing plays I have ever seen. And boy am I glad that it happened because up until then that game was BORING.

By the way that is 2 posts for day 3 - Go Me!

Revealing

It was about 6 years ago when I heard Oprah say "When someone reveals themselves to you believe them." For some reason it has stuck with me. Perhaps it was the timing. At the time I was in a place where I needed to believe that quote due to the nature of the relationships in my life, but was in denial. When I did let go, I realized just how true it was.

Luckily, now when I am reminded of that quote I feel thankful because it is most often due to the kind and selfless nature of my friends and family.
Much Love to you ALL!

What a thrill!

Last night while watching the Mardi Gras parade I discovered a new rush... catching beads! It is so silly because really does anyone want these beads. It is not like they are coveted items. They are a 5 cent chain of beads. Even so, they were so much fun to catch. All of the floats were throwing them out and by the end of the parade we had accumulated quite a few strands, dodged a few elbows to the face, and had to work out a charlie horse from tiptoeing to see over people.

Highly Recommend

This morning I spent two hours in bed trying to read through the constant stream of tears in my eyes. MIght sound terrible, but it was quite the opposite.
A few weeks ago, Matt and I had the clever idea of trying to read a book together. If you knew the vast differences in our reading styles you would probably think this to be a senseless idea. I could read a book a day, where Matt is a good one book a year kind of guy. I admit I had doubts at first, but we couldn't have picked a better book. Same Kind of Different as Me, is a wonderful journey and one of the most inspiring stories I have read. It tells the stories of two very different men and it shows us that we are all more alike we often act or think. We were both glued to the pages and finished the book within two weeks. A new record for Matt!
Matt actually finished the book earlier this week and knew how I was going to react. So this morning while I read the last half of the book, Matt sat beside me in bed and supported me as at times I was sobbing. Aren't I just the luckiest girl with an amazing man, a fabulous book and a memorable morning!?
