$$$$$$$

That's right! I am getting so many more donations than I thought..it's so amazing!

I have added 2 sponsors THIS MORNING! That's right..saleswoman Rachel here ;o) haha.

I had just a productive morning today..it was so nice to sleep in until 8:42am and then got to work! I called around to a couple of different places to get my shirts made, and found an awesome deal..with a couple of guys that I went to high school with! It's just a great day!!

I don't even mind that I am scheduled to work 3pm-11pm today, mainly because it is SO SLOW at the H.I. that my ass will be out of here by 7:30 at the very latest! That's only 3 1/2 hours away!

I still can't decided on colors for the shirts and writing. I know I don't want to do a bright green with blue writing, not because that won't look good, because I know it does, but because JSC used that for the ALS walk we did in October! So I wanted to do something different!

What about orange with navy writing?
Or red with grey writing?
I feel like yellow washes me out, but I could go tanning and do something fun with bright yellow.

I need suggestions!


Ok, I am off to get my work done so I can get OUT OF HERE!

Have a nice day :)

Prayer Request?

I will try to blog more later on today, because I had a good weekend...

but for right now..
if you could pray for my family, today is the 1 year anniversary of my Grandfathers death..I keep thinking about where I was and who I was with and just replaying the whole day in my head and it's making me tear up..so if you could pray for us, I would sure appreciate it.

Work it Out...

ugh! My patience is gone for the day.

I hate when people do things that they know will backfire and yet I have to pay the consequences!

Whatever...moving on. I am going to work myself out of this mood.

Lets talk about what's going on tonight..I have a couple of options;
I could go hang out with my parents.
I could go out to dinner with J.
I could go out and do something (maybe a movie?) with J
I could go out to dinner with ML.
I could go to ML's birthday house party
I could stay home and clean and do laundry
I could call KC to see if she wants to do something

Maybe I'll do none of the above :) We'll see.

I am still loving my new job! More and More every time I work at my old job.. :)

I can't finish this now..I'll try later.

Visitor at Work today!


So darn cute! And baby K doesn't look too bad either! ;o)

Key Packets & Access Codes

I am working at my lovely Hampton Inn today :)



The weather is rainy and kind of dreary outside. We haven't had rain in quite some time, so it's kind of okay that it's raining..kind of.



So..to the big event! haha..Saturday Night..it was interesting to say the least. I am really glad that I went and experienced a Golden Gloves Boxing Tournament! Not sure if I'll ever go again..but we'll see. :) J, was a nice guy, like I said, no romance or anything, and Saturday just kind of confirmed that, even though we did hold hands on the way to his truck, but it was like holding hands with my best friend M, who is a girl. J, wants to hang out again on Thursday (tomorrow) but I'm not sure..I think I'd rather do laundry! I need to catch up on my housework!



Sunday was so much fun! I went out with my mom, my aunt & her daughter, and another one of my aunts & her daughter..it was a mother/daughter kind of day!



We went shopping in city called Howell (which..I was a bit nervous to go to..I have some pretty bad memories from there...failed alternator anyone?) and were there for almost 8 hours! I got some good deals (Fathers Day..check...2 friends birthday gifts...check...a little fun something for my brother and SIL..check..) It was nice to have a girls day :)



Monday I got to watch my lovely little perfect niece :) She had an upset tummy..but we had a good time..she's starting to coo and I absolutely adore her..I couldn't be more proud to be her auntie! ps..watching a 2 month old is a lot more work than I thought!

Last night I went out with ML, a guy that I actually dated for about a month, a couple years ago..it was nice to catch up with him and hang out. I guess we are going out next week for dinner. That should be fun. Last night was also wonderful because I got to talk to T. I was so dang excited that I couldn't fall asleep for almost 20 minutes after we got off the phone! Yes, I'm really only 16 haha. It was just really nice and I had a lot of fun talking to him. I won't go into too much detail, but I hope it happens again sometime :)

My Pastor is back today (okay..so obviously he is not mine, I do not own him..but he says good morning and asks how I am, and in my eyes that's pretty much the same thing). And he is in the corner of the lobby..just studying away :) I wonder if he knows how much of an inspiration he is?
Part of me feels pulled to go sit down and tell him that I'm glad he's here and that he is an inspiration to me, and ask him for prayers on some serious family issues that came up late last week...but today, I think I will just smile and say Bless You when he sneezes and offer a friendly smile when he looks up :)

ps...I have pretty big hair today, and I'm loving..feeling pretty sassy :)
pss..there is another guy in the lobby that keeps coughing and blowing his nose and it's making me feel alittle sick to my stomach..ugh.

Jesus is Working EveryWhere

It was about 12:30 when I changed the coffee around in the lobby.
And there is a guy who is a Pastor for the church that is across the street, and he comes in a couple times a week to use our Internet, and to kind of just get out of his normal surroundings. He is really nice and funny, you can just feel a calmness around him. It's awesome.
So, today when I was switching the coffee, I heard him chatting with a guest that was also in the lobby, and they talked about their kids, and how important Christ is, and teaching about Him to their children, and Christian Schooling and everything. They exchanged names and numbers so they could pray for each other.
It was amazing.

It helps me feel uplifted that two strangers can connect because of Him, and it helps me stay uplifted and in a great mood, even though there is negativeness around me.

Bottom Line here? God is good. :)

pss...

Please pray for my friend, M, as she makes the long drive to Pensacola, Fl today. Alone. She is a brave girl alright!


ALSO..if anyone wants to volunteer, or knows of anyone who wants to volunteer, the Arthritis Foundation is in some need of help! E-mail (rwustman@gmail.com) or comment me if your interested!

Thanks!
