TGIF.....I guess

I woke up this morning with the cats paw on my face, she literally turned my head toward her. "Hey, it's me, you know, your daughter, get up and give me some food will ya so I can take a bath and go back to sleep". Being the ever obedient person that I am, I got up and did as instructed. I tried to lay back down, didn't work.

It's another gray, cold day and I found myself asking God, 'what's next for me Lord'? I'm getting restless again. And I know from experience that when that happens, He is usually up to something.

I still have that incident with my 'former friend' on my mind. It's been nine months. I see her at church and sometimes my stomach still turns. No reason it had to be like this.

Oh what to do with my day. Days like this call for getting out of the house no matter how much you want to stay inside.

It's Thursday.....fave tv show on tonight

Did I say that this was the "almost daily" ramblings of .....Gotta skip a day now and then eh? It's a foggy day in this old town, gonna rain, possibly storm later on. I love thunderstorms. I hate the wind and having to go to the basement though when the sirens go off. Ever since the tornado hit South Pekin and Morton a few years ago I get nervous. Never used to be that way. Working today. Will get home after five. I think I will close the kitchen tonight. take the night off. I guess it's to early yet to really write anything of substance. Or maybe it's just that I'm not in the mood yet. I was going to go to Ernie's again this morning for a pancake. But if you saw my hair you would know why I decided to eat a bowl of cereal where no one could see me. Plus I really need to wash a load of my own clothes. Ok, so there are a few daily ramblings for ya. I'm sure I can come up with more later on! The suspense mounts!

It's Wednesday!

Well it's the middle of the week. How can I tell? I looked at the calendar. You can do that too! It's only 8:30 in the morning, I've been to Ernie's for breakfast, have a load of clothes in the wash, kitchen is clean, bathroom is presentable, what more can a girl ask for? I can ask for plenty! I believe I will go to the library this morning. I remember my dad would go to the library about once a week and he would always go right when they opened. My mom would say to him, why don't you wait till they get all the books put back on the shelf, you go so early and they wont be ready for you yet. I'm like my dad, I like getting out early. We'll see what the day brings.

Flat Tire Blues

I knew for a long time that one particular tire on the car was bad. I didn't tell anyone but when I got down to look at it once, I could see steel. Being a single woman I took matters into my own hands this morning when I went out to go away and saw that it was almost totally flat. I didn't panic. I got in, drove the car three blocks to the gas station and filled it up with air. Then I drove to the service station and told the guy, "I need a new tire". Thankfully he had the size I needed and said it would take ten minutes and $35. I walked to the cafe, got us both a cup of coffee and went back just as he finished up. Of course that $35 would have been more fun spent elsewhere but thank the good Lord we had the money in the first place. I didn't panic, I didn't call around to get the best price etc. I just got in my car and did what needed to be done. Didn't have to ask permission to buy a new tire from anyone! I am woman, hear me roar! What else needs to be done?!

Rambling number one

Maybe it's because I'm not fully awake yet or the fact that I'm not completely over my cold, but I'm feeling like the 'odd man out' again. Got Bible study this morning, don't really want to go. I like listening to the Beth Moore video, but then the actual 'study' part is usually....."well what do you think about this"? I need more. And since I'm just a visitor at this church and study, I probably wont proceed with more than that. The "odd man out" part comes though because once again I'm among married women who have children. They all sit and talk about their family issues and I still wonder why the Lord has me umong all of them. The one time I did mention the fact that I'm not married with children they all just sort of smiled and wondered back in their own worlds again. Granted, they are super nice women and I am glad I found a place that has an actual active ministry. Maybe God places me in these womens lives because one of them knows a single man that may stirke my fancy. LOL. Hey, nothing is impossible. Still wonder, what gives Lord? Should I stay or should I go?

It's Monday

Well as we all know, it's Monday. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, cats have been fed, and yet it's only 10 degrees outside! Soon enough spring will actually be here and the trees will be budding and the flowers will be poking their noses out of the ground and then some of us will be complaining about allergy season!

Sister stayed home from work today, not sure what I am doing today. It's a mystery yet. Think I'll have another cup of coffee and then maybe lay down again......ahhhh yes, it's Monday

My Second Post!

Ok, I promise that after this I will come up with a more original title! Stayed home from church today, just needed a morning off. The cold is getting better, but now the oldest sister has it and it's not pretty. I swear by hot or cold lemon water, it flushed it out of me quickly! I did however get the other sister and we went out for lunch, and did some shopping at Goodwill and Dollar Tree. You ever go to the grocery store to buy one or two things and end up spending almost $20? No, I'm sure you don't! I'm sure as the week progresses so will my blogging so bear with me!

My first post

Wow.....my first post, I'm so excited!
