the spider

so... funny story of the day:  I was driving home from work and saw a spider crawling across my windshield.  I thought it was on the outside, and quickly realized that it was INSIDE my car!!! As it neared the driver's side door frame I started to get nervous.  I remembered that I had some napkins in a bag from dinner and grabbed them.  (by the way, there was a cop next to me at this time) So, at the red light, I decide to try and kill the spider.  BAD IDEA!!  I knocked the spider off onto ME!! The light turned green and I was so freaked out that I peeled out onto 518 and whipped into the nearest parking lot.  I threw the car into park and got out, took off my jacket and started dusting off my self.  I had no clue where the spider went and I wanted to make sure that it was NOT on me!!! As I was looking like a fool, trying to get an imaginary spider off of me, I noticed that there was still one shop open... and the guys were all staring at me and laughing!  GREAT! Not only did I have a spider IN my car, hiding, waiting to bite me, BUT.....there were three guys thinking that I was some crazy woman.   One guy came out, asked if I was okay, and looked in my car for the spider (yes, I was that freaked out).  I got back in my car, only after he assured me there was no spider, and came home.  I am still itching and swiping at the spider that I can feel crawling on me . 

Hope you have a great day (or night)!!

Love and Be Loved!

Good words for good friends!

Words for every woman to live by...

1. Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.

2. If the shoe fits, buy them in every color.

3. Take life with a pinch of salt...A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.

4. In need of a support group? Cocktail hour with the girls!

5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).

6. When life gets you down, just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.

7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.

8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's OK. They know me here.

9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

10. Don't get your knickers in a knot…It solves nothing and makes you walk funny.

11. When life gives you lemons in 2009, turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka.

12. Remember where ever there is a good looking, sweet, single or married man there is some woman tired of his bullsh*t!!

13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest.

14. If it has Tires or Testicles it's gonna give you trouble.

15. By the time a women realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.

Good friends are like stars…You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live for today. Now smile and send to any girl wasting time at work, suffering from a hangover, or just suffering from life, that might need a reason to smile!

Seeing small blessings through a horrific tragedy

   This past week has been insane and unbelievably long.  From learning that my best friends fiancé passed away to trying to get back in to the swing of things, life has been anything but normal.  Through all of this, however, I have seen small blessings and tiny miracles.  I have seen people embrace a family that they have never met.  I have seen vendors have hearts of gold and give refunds back for a wedding spoiled by tragedy.  I have heard many voices lift up those hurting and talking time out of their day to let someone know they loved them.  I have truly seen the family of God this week.  It was a refreshing change from all the "bad" news displayed on the tv...

an educational quote

God "has not given you your children and the means to support them simply so that you may do with them as you please, or train them just to get ahead in the world. You have been earnestly commanded to raise them for God's service."

what do you think?

9/11

As one of the older members of the millenia generation, I was a freshman in college when 9/11 happened.  I didn’t feel the need to join the military or peace corp, but by heart changed that day.  I felt a compassion and sadness for those I had never met.  I felt a sense of unity and pride in my country that I had never felt.   I also became more conscious of political events and people that I had never really cared about before. For the first time in my 18 years I realized how big of a world there was and that bad things happened for no reason.  I am strong in my faith and never questioned why God let this happen, but I did feel a sense of fear.

  I voted in the 2000 election simply because  I had turned 18 the month before.  In the 2004 election, however I paid attention.  I came across this article the other day and wanted to know your thoughts on it.  Did your perspective on life change after 9/11? Did you become more aware of the world around you?
