Rage!!!

Sooooo...I had this really nice, cool, inventive, awesome, creative, marvelous, etc. slide show to go with our Signs of Mercy song for Prayer and Bible Conference...now I cannot get to it. I get a message saying I need something, because something isn't compatible with my slide. I am a tiny bit upset, I'm sick and upset! I am going to make Sign of Mercy practice short, short, short!! I have no voice. Plus we've got this!!! We are going to do awesome! JESUS name! I'm going to veg a few before I have to get ready.

The "Yuk Yuks"

Ugh! Every time I swallow if feels as if my left tonsil is trying to pull my left ear into my brain!!! Ugh! Needless to say I have the energy of a sloth.

On a high note...GOD is good!

I need drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!

Death to Cupid.

Need I say more? I can...but I won't.

Ugh!

Has anyone realized (besides me) that self revelation is never good, or encouraging. For example, one usually never thinks along these lines..."Wow! I am such a great loyal friend, anyone would be grateful to have me as a friend" Usually its the opposite. "Why would anyone want to be my friend?!" We usually realize that we are not as "wonderful" as we think. For a few moments we see the beam in our own eye. I'm glad that I see. I know, I have tons of room to improve in areas of friendship, daughter ship, sisterhood, and the Christian walk etc. I have a lot of work to do!! Haha! Don't we all. I thought about this all day. Maybe it has to do with trying to be humble, we wouldn't be to humble if we thought ourselves great. God is great! We have the right to think well of ourselves, like in school or things along those lines. Things we have worked hard for. But even then we know there is more to be done. I'm rambling. I tend to do that, its hard to put into words what is rolling around in my head. Trying to be what the Lord wants us to be, it is not easy. I am thankful for all my family, Pastoral family, and friends who help me along that way. I am blessed.

Gelato!!!

One of the few times that Kevin and I were left unattended...

...let me start by saying this...even when Kev and I are with people we still get into trouble. You can imagine what sort of nuisance we made of our selves when we are left alone shopping! (Haha!) Hm mm...Before we even left for Roseville, I told Kevin not to tempt me. I had to be on my BEST behavior 'cause it was just Sis. Kim, myself, and Kevin. I couldn't risk getting "a stern talking to" by Sis. Kim. I would bawl and pass out!!! I have to take a praise break!!! Whoot Whoot!!! We didn't get into trouble by anyone! Thank you JESUS! We actually we were well behaved...sorta. Security was not called, nor were we thrown out on our coccyx's. I'm sure Pastor and Sis. K would be proud. I had such a great time! Buca's is now my favorite feeding trough. Those of you who know me well, I love Italy, but not pasta. (hypocritical?) I will go there every time I get a chance! Thank you Sis. Kim for inviting me, for letting me have my first Stein Mart experience. You are cherished! If not for ever thing else you do, for Stein Mart!!! Kev you rock as a shopping buddy!!! He carried my purchases etc. like a real gentleman! Thank you both!!!

Ode to Coffee

(I'm not sure why, but a cup of coffee reminds me of Bogart.)

"Life is too short for bad coffee" -Unknown

"Decaffeinated coffee is the devil's blend" -Unknown

"Nothing will make a father swear before the children quicker than a cup of poor coffee"
-K. Hubbard

"I judge a restaurant by the bread and by the coffee" -Burt Lancaster

"Coffee in England is just toasted milk" -Christopher Fry

"Actually, this seems to be the basic need of the human heart in nearly every great crisis...a good, hot cup of coffee" -Alexander King

"Once you wake up and smell the coffee, its hard to go back to sleep" -Fran Drescher

Day 2: of Whitney's Grouch-ness

Don't let anyone fool into thinking that being grouchy is easy...I am so exhausted! It takes a lot of energy to be a grump, its a common fact that it takes more muscles to frown than smile. So my face has been hurting for the last two days! Grouchy=Tired, I can't summon the will power to exercise, therefore no endorphins to make me un-Grinch like. I have come to the conclusion, (with no offense or disrespect to my wise elders who have written things such as..."The Power of Positive Thinking" etc.) that I will just weather the "Oscars". I can get happy in the same skirt I got grouchy in...except...I'm not going to try and trick myself into it by positive thinking. I doesn't work for me. I have tried...honestly. It works for some, I'd rather wait it out and treat it with other remedies,such as a mocha. The Cure All! Truly I have no logical reason to be a Scrooge, I lead a blessed life. (No, lecture and pictures necessary) I am not that naive. To those of you that have to put up with me, Signs of Mercy, Praise Team, Sis. Krantz, my Mookie. Let me apologize now, I promise to keep a tight reign on my tongue and micro emotions. I love you! Thank you for your long suffering in advance. Muah!!!! XoXo
