So this morning I actually got up early and with ample time to get ready and get gas on the way to work. I made myself a delicious sandwich with turkey and ham and imported cheese and put it in a bag with dayquil to take to work.
I took a shower which was completely tepid. Freezing actually. Maybe it's because the dishwasher was running.
Can't find my purple hoodie. Left my hairbrush behind too. Had to leave with cold, wet hair.
Got to work and my lunch has mysteriously disappeared. I bet i get home to find the cats have devoured it. I am so hungry, but I don't feel like wasting my last bit of gas to get something. Vending machine lunch, anyone?
I look like crap. I don't feel great either. Ughhhhhh..................just a lot of little annoyances today. Gah.
Oh yeah, and the agitator on my washing machine went out and it took about five hours to dry my clothes because they were dripping wet. I guess I am going to have to wring each item out before putting it in the dryer now. Not sure how much it will cost to fix. I will probably be better off getting a new washer, which by the way, we cannot afford. Oh well... it was fun while it lasted.

Random thoughts
1. When will this day end? I am staring down the barrel of a fun and fabulous four day weekend and seventh anniversary with my hubbie.
2. I'm hungry.
3. When will I feel well? I've had a sinus infection for about a month, but I refuse to go on antibiotics, which is all a doc will do for me. My body's own defenses can fight this bugger off. It just may take a while. A long while.
4. Yay, we get paid tonight!!! Just in time.
5. I'm hungry still.
6. I really hope I can find a good home for my beloved Gilda. She deserves only the best.
7. My apartment is too drab. I wish we could paint some of the walls. I can't wait to own our own house and paint each room a unique color.
8. I have a bad feeling that we are going to get screwed at tax time. I can just feel it.
9. I am excited about Biloxi!!! I am going to lie down in the sand. I don't care how cold it is. I will feel it between my toes.
10. I hope Dav's truck isn't too terribly messed up. Thank you to his parents for helping us out so we can still go on our trip.
11. My thoughts and prayers are with the Haitian people. I can't imagine the magnitude of what they must be going through right now.
12. Things could be a lot, lot worse. I need to learn to quit taking things for granted so much. I am very blessed.

I thought this was profound
Genesis 8
The flood waters recede.
INSIGHT
Because the physical world reflects spiritual truth, the resurrection is pictured throughout nature. Man falls asleep at night but awakens in the morning. The earth "dies" each fall, sleeps throughout the winter, but awakens in the spring.
The earth died with the Great Flood, but Noah and his family emerged from the ark to enter a resurrected earth. Death is a fact of nature, but God abundantly pictures to us His promise: He will give us new life after death (John 3:16).
Noah's response and ours? Worship.

Has some good things in the works
My and Dav's seventh wedding anniversary is next Sunday, January 17th. We found a super deal on a room at the Imperial Palace for Thursday night. We are taking a four day weekend. Happy happy joy joy!!! I need a vacation after all the overtime we've worked over the holidays. I'm so excited about our anniversary trip, even if it is for only one night *insert naughty thoughts here*. I really want to go to the Walter Anderson Museum of Art and wander down the beach. I highly recommend Walter Anderson's art. He had a really interesting life, and once bicycled from MS to NY, and he would paddle a boat out to the little islands off the coast and paint, even during hurricanes. A true artist, he was. I love love love love love the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I'd like to visit my grandma Nanny's grave too (it's just outside of Pascagoula.) My heart is just really down in that place, and I'd love to move there one day.
Also, I am getting ready for a cruise to Cozumel this April with my mom. We are booking it on Monday. We are going to visit some Mayan ruins and go snorkeling and even get to go up into a light house. I am soooo excited. There's nothing quite like cutting through the vast ocean waters on the bow of a ship, stout drink in hand, drinking in the beauty of God's creation.
Another great thing: I recently paid off a collection, and I checked my credit score and it has jumped 100 points overnight. It is now in the "fair" category, instead of "poor." I'm not holding my breath on this one, though. The credit industry is so fickle, it will probably be back in the trenches again next week. A girl can dream though, right?
The other day I started doing Pilates again, and now every muscle (and I do mean, EVERY MUSCLE) in my body is crying out for mercy now. Dav got us a Pilates for Indie Rockers DVD to do together, and it is pretty intense. It's cool though, because it's set to music that actually motivates me to exercise, and not some lame elevator music.
So far, 2010 has exceeded my expectations. *knocks on wood again*

so far so good
So, 2010 is here. So far, so good. Spent a laid back evening at home with Dav and Dorothy, drinking champagne and karaokeing. We prayed at midnight as we usually do. It was a lot of fun. Dav made pork tacos and dorothy made her yummy pico de gallo.
Today, I have to work, but I am working a later shift. I went to my in laws' house prior to work and had lunch. I got to meet Brian's new girlfriend, Whitney. She is such a sweetheart and fits right in with the family. The kids really like her too. I hope they are very happy together.
New year=new vacation time at work. I have some scheduled for the weekend of the 16th and 17th of January. January 17th is my and Dav's 7th wedding anniversary :0) I hope we can do something fun, or at least relax and enjoy each other's company.
Happy New Year to all!!
