7 quick takes

1. Sara sent me this from today's paper. It could have been written by me. I get freaked out when people touch me! I blame it on living alone for the past 6 years!!

DEAR ABBY: I am a young woman in my 20s who, while very friendly, is funny about being touched. I am extremely uncomfortable when people outside my immediate family hug me, rub my shoulders or place a hand on my back or arm. Yet somehow, people tend to do this with me.
How can I express my discomfort without sounding antisocial or mean? I'd appreciate your advice. -- TOUCHY SUBJECT
DEAR TOUCHY SUBJECT: Do it with humor. Say, "If you do that again, you'll have to marry me!" It should work with members of both sexes, depending upon the state you live in.

2. I had two candles going last night at my apt. It was sooo soothing, it was raining outside, thundering and dark, good smelling cinnamon candles, sigh.. I love fall!!

3. I am wearing my new work sweater today and am very upset that its alot shorter than i thought it was. I HATE short shirts! I like more of a tunic type of shirt. this is definately NOT!

4. I am getting homemade salsa from my Mom tonight. I can't wait to eat it! Better yet I can't wait to eat salsa ALONE at my apt without my BROTHER getting in the way and stealing it and not giving me any!

5. Tonight is my first night watching the kids in Small Group. I hope it goes well. tonight its just one girl and one boy. Surely I can handle this? Tomorrow night I'm excited to spend time with My Men as Mom calls them, Joey and Sammy. I am most looking forward to rocking Sammy to sleep. Best part EVER!!

6. I really should clean off the clothes on the glider rocker in my bedroom so I could sit there and read. Yeah I'll do that later!!

7. I think I am getting a cold and I am not happy about this:(

Girl! You are so crazy! I miss you! I had to laugh at your touch article. I think people in my church think I am so weird... cause I am not a hugger. :)

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

9/52

So I'm doing my best to get these weekly wrap up's done on Monday each week. Today has been a DOOZY. It's 9 pm and I am just now sitting down to check email and such. So if this post isn't the most well written, you'll understand once you read next week's wrap up about today!  In happier news we started off last week with my BIIIIRRRTTHHHDAAAYYYYY!!! And nothing says your Birthday like watching One Tree Hill and eating a piece of ice cream cake with lunch. Spoiler alert, I had a piece of Ice Cream cake every single day last week.  The chalkboard was updated, but sadly none of my pictures with said chalkboard looked decent.  I rocked my Be-You-Tiful shirt and a new necklace my Mom had given me.  And then I had a little photo session in the piano room with my balloons. Because, it was my birthday. and I was alone. So why not!  This is pretty much me in a nutshell... :)  Normally, I try to get work done before students arrive...
