slacking

Lots to share... you know the story. Been busy.

Stay tuned for some big news... big news for me at least :)

God is Good

To follow up on my last post... the longer I thought about things that night, which made me cry ever harder and longer, I realized that one individual is my friend. A friend who does care, but is being influenced by a group of people who are not friends. I then cried some more because I was upset with myself for doubting this person's friendship... but in the end I realized that Satan was testing me and God pulled through with me.

I realized during these hours of praying and thinking that this person never really has been my friend and that in my mind and in my heart I've tried over the last several months to "make" this person want to be my friend. It just isn't meant to be right now, and at the end of the day I am okay with that.

I woke up the next morning feeling 100% refreshed. 100% thankful to God for yet again getting me through that situation.


Other than that... yesterday was a very lazy, relaxing Saturday. I slept most of the day and today has been my productive day. I've done 2 loads of laundry (folded and put away even!), worked, went to Church, cleaned up and am now cooking dinner.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend and have a great week coming up... it's going to be a stressful start but will end in a relaxful way! Can't beat having all the sales executives and the director out of town for a full day!!

How?

How do I go years thinking these people are my friends. People who I thought cared about me. People who want the best for me. People who I could share my happiness with and see the joy in their face for me or to the other extreme people I could share my problems with and know its hurting them too.

I am disappointed in myself for... I guess in my mind for trying to make myself think they were friends. Tonight I realized that a handful of people in my life are not truly friends. They are people who use me and will in my mind always use me.

I am glad that I finally saw this and can adjust some things in my life. Their loss, not mine!

*****

On a good note, I asked Him to help me through a situation last night and not within 20 minutes was the situation resolved and I felt 100% better. God is good!

Happy 4th of July... almost

I got told the other day that I was slacking on blogging... busted! So, heres for you CM!

I guess not a lot has been going on for me to post...

It's July... seriously, can you believe Christmas is 5.5 mos away? Can you believe the kids start back to school next month?

Work was going pretty good (considering all that we have been through as an office) until the last week or so. Sadly, the one person who I thought was a good friend has proven otherwise and with just a few of us in the office its proving to be a challenge. I have a lot to focus on or do with all the stuff going on so I just need to focus on that and life will be good.

My parents will be here later today, for the weekend. Haven't made any plans or really thought about what we're going to do yet, probably should start working on that. I assume our weekend will consist of a trip to the Legends for my Dad and some shopping for Mom.

Told you I didn't have much to blog about. Just a few pics

The other day I decided I'd go home a different way and came across this beauty. It's my future house, how nice of these builders and people to look out for me like that, huh?

What my job consisted of one day this past week. Making address labels, printing 173 letters, stuffing envelopes, sealing envelopes and then b/c our company decided to get rid of my Pitney Bowes machine, putting 173 stamps on these envelopes. Good times.

And lastly, what I am currently on the hunt for. Its time for a change and I think one of these 'lil guys could just do the trick.

Have a Happy and Safe 4th everyone!

Happy Father's Day!

I can't speak for others, but I would like to think for those of us who can't physically be with our Dads on Father's Day, it tends to make our hearts ache, makes us home sick..... at least for me, it does.

I haven't seen my Dad in a little over a month. They were supposed to be down this past weekend, but he had surgery and is recovering currently. My next planned trip wasn't supposed to be until Thanksgiving, but that may change. I may find a long weekend to go back.

So...onto the purpose of this post.

Happy Father's Day to the best Daddy a girl could ask for! Who knows just what it takes to break the "ice" first thing in the morning... the best grandpa to my nephew and niece... to one of the most stubborn men I've ever met (hehe)! I love you and can not wait to see you again!

so glad this week is over!

To say its been a week from he double hockey sticks is an understatement. The good news story is that the boss and I have been getting along for 2 weeks straight... maybe 3. Either way, it's been a good run and I think we're only on the uphill.

The bad news is I've cleaned out 4 desks this week... this WEEK! 4 desks... 4 reps ... gone. Yesterday I had 5 trash cans full from 1 desk... today I filled at least 4... our cleaning people have to hate us. The bad part about that is I'm not even half way there. Insane.

Good news story... fresh people, fresh faces, people to train the way we want / need them to be...I guarantee its going to be a rough, interesting, challenging next month or so, but we will pull through.

Okay, so apparently I had a few more pics than the daisies... I think next time I will separate out events to make it easier ...

My other BFF

This pic was taken in '99. Three things:

1. Look at how full my hair was, what I wouldn't give to have that full hair again.
2. I have this pic on my fridge as a reminder of a size I once used to be.
3. This girl and I have been friends since 8th grade...that's 15 years!

And this little cutie is my neice, Samantha. My bff above step-daugther. Isn't she just adorable?!

I had to run to Lowe's a few weeks back and picked up this for $5... can't beat that. I need a shepards hook to hang it on... for now its just sitting on my patio.

here it is today

another plant of mine

this poor guy... I'm not sure how much longer its going to make it. I've had it since about 2002... it used to be so full and beautiful...

The Daisies
