Seeking Guidance
I opened up some bad news. It put me in a worse mood, now I'm all teary eyed and what not here at work. I silently ask GOD to tell me what to do. I repeat it over and over in my head:
Tell me what to do GOD
Tell me what to do GOD
Tell me what to do GOD
Tell me what to do GOD
So while my request resonates in my head I decided pull out my book of "Daily Promises for Women of Color" to find something that might comfort me. I look through the table of contents for something to help me and I come across guidance. Cool, I think this is what I'm looking for. I turn to the pages listed and I go thru the different scriptures listed and then I find this:
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." -Isaiah 30:21
And so I'll wait patiently................

Wishing for – Thursday 13’s - 12th edition
Yeah, I’m late with it I know. But I didn’t have anything in mind to list so I wasn’t going to fore go this week’s T13’s.
At any rate I’m in a very somber mood today. I have a lot of things going on my mind. Here are 13 wishes I had at this very exact moment:
1. I wish I could provide the help I want to - My youngest brother needs me, I mean really needs me, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to help him this time and it hurts like HELL
2. I wish I had a spare car.
3. I wish I owned a bigger house.
4. I wish I had family support.
5. I wish my medical issues did not exist or the remedy was attainable.
6. I wish I was in Hawaii with my hubby lying on the beach sipping on a tropical drink.
7. I wish I had moved my 401k to my credit union two months ago.
8. I wish I had a job that is abit more challenging.
9. I wish I was an early morning person.
10. I wish I could think of a great anniversary gift for my hubby.
11. I wish I had a better relationship with my father’s side of the family.
12. I wish this was my last semester in school.
13. I wish I could make this year’s Christmas memorable for my father’s side of the family.

Today's Lunch
I didn't feel like bringing in the leftover pasta I had, nor did I feel up to leaving the office to go out and grab something. I have to be frank, chips and a soda more than twice a week just wont cut it for me. I had soup already this week so that was out and like wise for a slice of pizza.
So I look in my food drawer, yeah I know I'm corporate ghetto cause I have a food drawer at work, but the drawer had some minute rice I purchased 2 month or so ago. So I says to myself, self, why don't you have some rice.

It comes in a two pack and I paid about $3 for it. It heats up in about a minute. I actually purchased two packages, yellow rice and this one is long grain & wild rice mix. The yellow rice didn't make the cut and is probably the reason this one has sat in my drawer for so long. At any rate I'll let you know in a few how this one tastes.
Hope you have/had a tasty lunch!

No Homecoming for me……
I was all set to go to NSU’s homecoming the weekend of Oct 24. But a situation with my brother had me rethinking the road trip and then the friend who was supposed to take the 3 hour drive with me is experiencing a financial crisis of her own. There's goes that trip. Not that I was terribly upset, but it really has me thinking or rethinking my spending habits now.
Normally I’d make several trips to T.arget in one week. Well this week I haven’t been at all, or at least not yet. Let's see Monday after work I went to the grocery store, and then yesterday I went back to the grocery store. The total spent between those days amounted to less than $30 which is good considering the state of our economy.
And then to hear that the federal government bail out lead to AIG executives getting treated to a spa. Come on.........tax payers are continuously getting screwed by the government and this is just another example.
You see, I understand that times are hard and as a result I've cut back on some of the luxuries I was use to and yet I didn't get a bail out. And in contrast one company having received financial assistance from the federal government took that as a sign to mean it's back on easy street.
Am I the only one that sees the scale as off balance?

God mommie again.....
I got an interesting call last night. My cell rings and I look to see who's calling and it's coming from my aunt's house. My hearts starts to beat a little faster, cause I'm thinking something is wrong. My aunt doesn't usually call me......at any rate it's my cousin. She asks what I was doing and wanted to ask me a question. Me being me and in the spirit of being a resource to all I encounter, I tell her to fire away. And wouldn't you know she asked me to be her daughter's Godmother..........my response, "I'd be honored to be the godmother"
Then I go on to ask why she didn't choose a girlfriend, to which she responded she didn't have many girlfriends and that the one girl that was supposed to, she hadn't heard from her since before the baby shower. I ask about the god father and it's some male friend of hers.
At any rate the baptism is tentatively scheduled for December 14 and at the same church I got married at. First up is finding a cute dress for her and a t-shirt that reads:
Have a great day!

Keeping the number………
My very first cell phone was a Christmas gift from my mother back in 1995. I was so psyched……..the phone was with S.print and early on I had major issues with them. Seems like every month I was on the phone with customer service having them recalculate my bill because I was charged for dropped calls and during times when I free minutes had kicked in.
Five years later I made the switch to V.erizon wireless. And I settled into their service quite nicely. To date I’ve only had to call and have my bill re-worked on two separate occasions, both my fault because I went over on my allowed minutes majorly.
At any rate, all this time I’ve had the very same number. Yep, I said I wouldn’t change my number because I wanted it to be stability to and for me. No matter how many times I changed physical address (4 since I got the phone) at least my family and friends could count on reaching me via my cell phone because the number has and is a constant.
Well imagine a pleasant surprise when a long lost friend calls me out of the blue this morning. She and I worked together at my very first part time job as a cashier at K.mart. Her and I became fast friends as we often worked the same schedule; Friday nights, all day Saturday and Sunday. We worked there for about 4 years and when we finally left we tried to keep in contact.
Eventually we lost contact, but then I walked into my local grocery store and guess who was there…..yep she was, so of course we exchange numbers again and promised to keep in contact for sure this time. Well after that encounter we actually lost contact two more times and then today’s call. And all because she found my number from one of our many encounters while packing to move.
So I have her cell and home numbers programmed in my cell. And thanks to VW backup assistant, which maintains a list of all my contacts on my phone virtually. I have it programmed to up date daily, in case I have to delete some people.
My friend still works a part time job as well as a full time job so us meeting to catch up will definitely be tricky. But I suggested we plan for next Friday after work. We’ll probably go grab a bite to eat and shoot the breeze.
Welcome back friend!

Good Morning
I trust that God has provided you with another day, as he has done for me.
Hope you had a good weekend and are prepared for this work week.
My weekend was cool. Friday night Mister and I went to the movies to see Eagle Eye. It was really good, lots of action. I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll just say technology is something else. And with each passing day we become more and more dependent on it and that might not be a good thing.
Saturday I didn’t do much. I went to the movies. I wrote a review on the movie here. Then I went home for a minute or two then I had to get my crabcake fix. So my usual spot was my destination. After that I was back home for the evening. Mister went to a bachelor party, or as he would say “we just hung out at a lounge.” But the next morning I see he has a stack of single dollar bills in his party, so you know what that means……….
Sunday I had a family committee meeting. And as usual it took us all dang on day. We really need to streamline and keep our meetings to about 2 hours. The plans for our first quarterly dinner were finalized, since it’s in November we decided on a Thanksgiving theme. My aunt will pick up some themes decorations. We will meet again in two weeks to ensure the menu is set and we know what each family member is responsible for bringing.
And last night I had to do a rush job of completing and submitting homework, as I procrastinated all week and weekend. I didn’t get a chance to wash and style my hair, nor did I wash clothes. So I’ll be tending to those tasks this week.
Well that’s my weekend recap, hope you had a good one. Have a great day!

And while you definitely have a Type A personality, you are still fun to be around. You have a ton of charisma and a genuine interest in others. You are adored by many. |
