Rainy Days & Mondays...

...It isn't raining, but it is Monday. And one of 2 isn't half bad :) I just feel like I've been awfully negative in my blogs lately...but I'm happy to report that this weekend was refreshing for me. I have been visiting a new church and it has been wonderful...God always looks out for us. The funniest thing is that I'm like one of 5 black people in the whole congregation so all of the older people go out of their way to welcome me...so funny. One guy said "we are so glad you came, we just want you to feel comfortable and know that there are all kinds of people here..."
"whew! good to know, because I have samepeoplephobia" He meant well! But seriously it has been a great experience.
Other than that things have been wonderful. No complaints. I'm about to eat some cheesecake and that is always good.

Word Bash-Part Deux :)

Oh my friends....living up here in Chipley gives me so much material for this section. There are two words I will be adressing today: Across and Ask. I know these don't seem like words that would challenge the average American, but lets look at the first one shall we...across. PLEASE someone tell me where I can find the word "acrossed" or "acrost" in the dictionary? For those of you who are about to google it, let me save you some trouble-its not a word.
And to all of my peoples livin up in da ghetto...please to not "aks" or "ax" for anything because that is impossible and ridiculous. The three letter word is ASK. I truly hope no one who reads this is offended. I wouldn't want you to throw an aks acrost my head :)

What goes around...

OK so who gets to coordinate a wedding for her X-boyfriend's cousin? I do! Pick me. You know I am seriously thinking about submitting my diary to Steven Speilberg as a potential movie script. My life is insanely ironic. Steph suggested that I name my first child "Irony" or "Ironi"! I don't know, maybe a middle name. :) He (the X) is now married and his wife is pregnant. I'm happy for him and sympathetic for her...! No thats not nice...I'm sure they are happy together in their happy little house in their happy little neighborhood with their happy little marriage and their happy little FETUS!!!!! Sorry... :) I'm not bitter I just don't know if I can handle any more marriages and babies (in that order preferrably). Its getting to the point where my girls who I thought would be the last to get married have suddenly found themselves in serious dating relationships. So I don't know if that puts me behind schedule or way ahead of it. I mean I'm happy where I am, and I KNOW I am way to OCD to have a male living with me and leaving the toilet seat up at the moment. I think its just the fact that everyone is expereincing things that I'm not. That is a little frustrating. Then its worse when the engaged girl says "Oh honey, just trust God. He'll bring you your husband." No offense, but that is like a millionare walking past a beggar and saying "Hey keep up the good work"! Its just not that encouraging. I'm totally happy for all of my married friends, I just wish their lives didn't put pressure on me to be where they are?!? Ya know? Would somebody notify the social police that there is nothing wrong with being almost 22 and single with a good house and job no debt and Jesus?!? Wow...random tangent. I wish I didn't sound so bitter...I'm not, I just wish I had been better prepared for this time in my life. But Jesus knows this and he's got me. I Just have to remind myself of that-every day! :)

Scrumtralescent...

...since this is my blog, I've decided to add an element called "word bash"! Most of you who know me, know that I love words. I like clever words and word games and such...but what I REALLY love is when people use and pronounce words correctly....I HATE when people do not use and pronounce words correctly. I understand that some do it out of ignorance (and I am sorry if I offend you ignorant people) but others do it out of pure laziness...my 2 current frustrations include the words "Alzheimer's" and "supposedly"! PEOPLE...there is NO such disease as OLD TIMERS or ALL TIMERS!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry to burst your bubble Dr. Stupid, but it has always been called Alzheimer's. And...maybe I use a dysfunctional dictionary, but the last time I checked there is no "b" in supposedly. There is no such word as "supposably"!!! That felt really good... :) If any of you fellow bloggers think of any other words, please pass them on. And if you see or hear me use a word incorrectly-please let me know! Supposedly people keep these blogs so they can stay in touch with friends, frankly I use it so that years from now I can remember how I felt...in case I develop Alzheimer's :)

I think I am going to explode...

With excitement! :) My mom and sister are coming in town this weekend for my jewelry party. I haven't seen my mom or Courtney since February so this is long overdue. It is amazing how much easier it is to love your mom from a dsitance lol I mean she is great, but when she turns the vacuum on at 5:45 in the morning because "its better to get chores done early"...but you don't have to be awake until 7:00?? You want to kill someone...namely MOM...and you want to break her accomplice known as the vacuum!!!! But other than that my mom is 4 feet and 11 inches of pure sugar. I love her dearly...my sister is ok! Just kidding! She a smaller version of me, I have to love her! Isn't family the best?

The things I do for you...

In case you haven't heard the story...Stephanie and I hung out on Saturday and went to she and Thad's new house to set up some things. Well Thad, God love him, left us the wrong key. Credit Card...bolt locks! Windows...anti-break-in screens! Chimney...they have no chimney! Drat! So what does Stephanie suggest? Crawling through the doggie- door. She went first and got stuck because her butt is blacker (meaning bigger-not actually black) than mine. So she looks at me like "your turn". She let me stay the night previously so I owed her one. In I crawled, feet first, and I made it through! Its a good thing I haven't had kids yet! :) Sorry I can't get a picture on here. Steph if you've got one, send it to me!

I still won't join myspace!!! :)

"I'm doin this for you" says Andie as she hands the keys to Michelle and proceeds to leave with Ben-not knowing where they are going....and that is what I say-I'm doin this for you Steph and L. We need a better way to keep up with each other and if this is it, then this is it!
