Thanks and giving

Hello again blogworld :) I should put more of my student-inspired stories up here. I promise I will... hehe.

Anyway, I had a GREAT Thanksgiving day!! I spent it with 3 very cool people, 2 of them for the entire day and we had such a GOOD time!! know how some guests you're ready for them to leave long before they go away? Not these folks!! Nope!! Except that we were all falling asleep, I wouldn't have minded if they'd stayed even longer!! we coulda watched a Thanksgiving Friends episode :) (I watched it by myself instead - the one where Chandler's in the box)

In addition, I adopted a turkey!!! A real living one. Except he's on a sanctuary farm in CA and not in my yard. His name is Harley and he has an attitude. At least in the picture. Maybe next time I'm in CA I can visit Harley. I was very impressed with myself and my friends who joined me for the meal, that we had a very yummy, satisfying, not completely healthy, CRUELTY-FREE meal!! it CAN be done :)

So this year, I am thankful of course for employment and George and all the normal, but I am especially thankful for great friends who support and encourage my odd habits and love me for me :)

miss me?

i decided it'd been too long. not sure i have anything to say though. guess that's why it's been a while! nothing to complain about. nothing to cheer about. not that life isn't good!! i love my job, i love my George, i love my friends, i love my house. God is GOOD!!!

George is George

For some reason I am quite bothered when I tell someone that my female cat is named George and they say, "oh Georgette" or "Georgina". NO PEOPLE! Her name is GEORGE. Get over it. I bet you don't say that to people who have daughters named Ryan. OR sons named Carey.

odd spot

I'm not in a very good mood this evening. But, it has NOTHING to do with work!! This is really quite an interesting concept to me. I'm trying to enjoy it, even though I'm not happy!!

Sometimes God nudges us, or we think maybe He is, and it's not always where we want to go. So I'm mulling this concept at the moment. Which is why I'm not happy. Sort of. I like when God nudges, and I don't mind changing for Him. but the process of change can be no fun.

the things i have to say

today a young man was showing his underpants... his underpants had hotdogs and something else (i didn't stare!) on them... i said to him, "i can see your hotdogs"...

change of heart

A year ago, maybe two, I would've said that I didn't really like Christian music. Never listened to Christian radio. I guess it was a bout a year ago when I started trying to get into it. I LOVE it!!!

Yesterday, I even found myself switching off a country song that I like because the message behind it just wasn't what I wanted to hear. I turned it to the Christian station (94.9 KLTY) and sang my heart out to whatever was playing there.

On my way to work in the morning, especially, it's SO nice to hear refreshing lyrics with upbeat music. I'm so glad I made the change :)

Rain makes 'em CRAZY

Observation: Rain makes students absolutely nutty!! We also happen to have water issues (the city of Azle has a water main break AGAIN) so tomorrow should be FUN!!!
