Today I am feeling sucky. I had forgotten to pull my curtain closed last night and woke up with a headache and the morning sun sharp on my face. On top of that, the curse of Eve is laying a heavy hand on my abdomen. I'm sitting at work with a can of coke, a Hershey's cookies'n'creme candy bar and a package of pretzel and cheese combos. Not to mention the two butterfinger crisps that are in my lunch back with my gingerbread scone....I'd say that I'm craving....cramping and probably a little crabby. Thankfully I'll get to go home to a quiet house for a while tonight.
I read the first four chapters of Esther last night. It was almost as though I had never read it before, because I am using an English Standard bible now. At this point, Mordecai just saved the king from the Eunich's who wanted to do him in, and Hamman has designed to kill all of the jews....the plot thickens...thank's for the recommendation Pam. I haven't been dilligent about reading my bible and it is a habit that I want to kick and rectify.
Oh yeah, and I'm starting to read "hinds' feet on high places" (partly because of your mention in your last post Pam)...
Last night I showed my dad the video clip of Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett singing the History of Musical Comedy at Carnegie Hall. He thoroughly enjoyed it. Then I showed him the clip of the 2 of them singing "You're so London" and it kinda reminded me of the differences between you and I Pam, which made me chuckle. Not that either of us is like those two amazingly funny ladies, but they were so different and yet such good friends. And the song is adorable.
So that's my 2 cents for now. I should really get back to work like I am supposed to be doing. Good luck with your job interview, Pam! I really hope you get it. I understand the need. I'll be getting my new car anyday now and am absolutely thrilled to change from the truck (Which maybe gets 14mpg) to my new little car (which is supposed to get 32mpg) oh what a relief to my gas bill...
This was a fun blog. But I'm biased - I got mentioned like 6x. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen you asked for a book suggestion, I prayed for a second and Esther was the first thing to pop in my head. After I'd sent you the text, I thought "Maybe I meant Ruth! Maybe I should retract my message and suggest Ruth instead" but I thought the Holy Spirit was telling me that it was the right one for you. Even if I was 'wrong' I hope you're still enjoying the book. :) Cant' hurt!
Also: I ADORE (underscore numerous times) Julie Andrews and I LOVE the friendship between her and Carol Burnett. I want that for myself more than I can say. I can see the similarity between our friendship and theirs. :) For the record, though, I think you'd be more Julie than me. She's a bit more proper than the nutcase Carol. lol
I didn't really want the job and the interview was the most awkward EVER ... so I'm going to keep shopping. Their conditions were ludicrous, too. Forget that. I'll just have to keep hunting.
Congrats on your new-ish mode of transportation! :D
Sorry you weren't feeling well when you wrote this - hope you're doing better now! :) Love ya.
