I

The "I" in me....

I Live: In the great state of Texas where people don't really get around on horses like they show in the movies....we have cars yall.

I Work: at a grocery store as a cashier even though I go by waitressangel.....I was a waitress....now I just sell them food they have to go home and cook themselves....unless of course they buy something from the deli.

I Talk: all day long and repeat myself often saying things I am sick of hearing myself say like....we have our roses on sale today for only $5.99 a dozen....I mean what's with the 99 cent thing anyway...why not just round it off to 6.00....oh I guess it wouldn't be as big a bargain if you charge that extra cent.....and we have our candy bars on sale 3 for guesss.......that's right 99 cents.... 

I Wish:  we could go on a vacation like we did when Eric was a little boy and we could stay a week and just relax and play in the ocean and eat sandy frenchfries and feed the birds that swoop down on us for those same fries.  Now we all have to work....to pay bills.....

I Enjoy:  having time to myself to do whatever I feel like doing....but after a while I start to bore myself....I also have a problem deciding if I should clean all day on my day off or just chill and paint, sing or read one of those library books I keep having to renew because I haven't finished them yet.

 

I Look: at lottery tickets I find on the ground to see if the person who threw it away might have been in a hurry and didn't realize they actually won......so far every one I have found this way have not been winning cards....but I never say never.....

I Find:  many friends and cool people here in Jland and hope they forgive me for being absent lately.  I still love and think about you all daily.

I Smell:  when I don't take a bath.....but I try to do that at least once a week

I Listen: to children when they say something because they are the best teachers....I also listen to older people because they have probably already been there and done that

I Hide:  out on my day off....i try not to go anywhere.....but sometimes I have to....

I Pray:  constantly

I Walk:  when I am not running or skipping.....sometimes I jump

I Write:  a list of things I need to do and then leave it on the kitchen table

I See:  seashells at the seashore

I Sing:  constantly

I Laugh:  to keep from crying

I Can:  do all things through Christ who strengthens me

I Watch: every second of Survivor and Big Brother....so check your tv guide and do not call me during these shows as I will not answer

I Yearn:  for a  maid

I Daydream: during the night

I Fall:  to pieces....not really   I fall for hey I don't want to fall

I Want:  a job where I can work with children and not have to put up with rude people who are grownups and act like spoiled brats

I Cry:  sometimes when I am alone and no one can see me.....ever looked at your face in the mirror when you cry?   not a pretty sight/

I Burn:  if I don't use sunscreen

I Read:  everything

I Love:  brownies

I Rode:  a cowboy to save a horse...

I Sometimes:  wonder what I would do if I didn't have to work

I Hurt:  when you hurt

I Fear:  nothing.....God will see me through and he knows how my life is suppose to be....I use to be afraid to drive and he took that fear away from me

I Hope:  today is a good day for all of you

I Break:  out when I worry.....and I hate that!

I Eat:  like a teenager

I Bathe: the cats..they hate it

I Drink:  coffee, tea and diet pepsi

I Stop:  children from crying in my line....I tell them it is a no cry zone....it works everytime...parents have invited me to come and live with them

I Save:  every chance I get/////do you know if you save 100.00 per week at the end of the year you will have $5200.00?

I know this but haven't been able to do it yet////

I Hug:  whoever needs one

I Meditate:  when I am not busy

I Play:  piano, organ, clarinet, harmonica, drums, fingers, bagpipes...many instruments////oh and violin

i Miss:  Christi, Eric

I Hold: until I get a break

I Forgive:  before you ask

I Drive:  Ford Explorer

I Learned:  that you gotta go with the flow and take each day at a time

I Dream:  about having a house on the beach

I Have:  so many great friends

I Don't:  get to see very often

I Made:  Chicken Alfredo

I Believe: in God

I Wait:  until it is my turn...am I next?

I Need:  you

I Owe:  like everyone else does

a FEW PICTURES

Hello everyone out there!  Happy 4th of July!  I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday.  God Bless America and all my friends near and far. 

Eric is still looking for a job.  He has a part time job next door to his apartment for now, but he isn't getting enough hours.

He has his application everywhere.  So keep praying!

Mom has had her second chemo treatment and has had her head shaved as all her hair was coming out.  She is trying to keep her spirits up and those of us around her.  Keep praying/

I got new contacts and glasses, so I can see!

One of the kids at work heard about my vision dilema and just handed me a check for 200.00,  I did not want to hurt his feelings so I used the money for my eyes.

He is getting married in December and I plan on giving him a check for 200.00 as a wedding present......

Rick has been working out of town alot.  He leaves on Monday and comes home on Friday.

I miss him

We celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary on June 27, but he was out of town, so we plan on going out this weekend.

I don't know what is wrong with me,. but my back is killing me.  I think I might have pulled a few muscles lifting dog food at work.

It was hurting so bad yesterday that I could hardly move.

I had to call in I was told I would be written up for missing even though I could not move physcally to do the job.....

I go in today at 1:45.  My back is still killing me, but I can not afford to miss another day of work.

I have sick leave, but you have to give two weeks notice.....

HMMMM how the heck do you know two weeks in advance that you are going to be ill?

Any who.

For the most part we are moving along.

Thanks for your continued prayers.  Keep on praying!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY
