Just a Day in the Life of Me
Can I first just say that I'm incredibly excited for tomorrow at 11:00 am? Because I am, it is the start of my week long vacation, the only one I've ever taken that's paid. It's a week long. That's a week's worth of sleeping and not wearing work clothes or sneakers and not being told two different things to do 50 times a day... and you get the picture. I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO WORK! And aside from picking up my check next Friday I'm not stepping foot in that building until my vacation's over. I may not even go into town. It's going to be a good week.
Speaking of work, we had a pot luck today to raise money for the Dempsey Walk, and I was making stuff to bring in and I picked out a piece of sausage and ate it and then licked my fingers off. Except I forgot that I had just, as in seconds before, painted my nails. Do you know how hard it is to get nail polish off your teeth and lips without nail polish remover? It's difficult. Trust me.
I've started couponing again, The Boy has set break times now so takes his own lunch and comes home for supper most nights so I actually have to have food around. I forgot how expensive that can be. There's something to be said for McDonald's dollar menu. Anyway, one of my friends gives me the coupons in the free newspapers that get thrown in her driveway because she doesn't use them and I also pick up the Sunday paper (I've really started doing this as an excuse to read the Sunday Comics ;) jk). This week alone I ended up with enough coupons for yogurt to last me a few months, which is nice because I like bringing them to work for breakfast, and they're usually on sale anyway. Almost Free yogurt here I come!
All this talk of food is making me hungry so I'm going to sign off and go eat, but before I go just a thought. God is a very ironic being. I'm a Christian, I may not talk about it as much as others do, but I'm very firm in what I believe. However, since I've moved back up to Maine I've learned to be much more accepting and loving. I've learned that just because somebody is doing something I believe is wrong doesn't make them a horrible person, and even if they profess to be a Christian it doesn't mean they're lying. The school I went to was like that, very judgemental, if you did anything wrong your salvation was automatically in question, and being there so long you tend to get that mindset as well. I always thought that was silly while I was there but it took me moving up here to realize that without knowing it I'd picked that up a little myself. Today, I'm glad I've learned that lesson, to not be judgemental and to really love people, not just say you do and then show by your actions that you really don't, no matter what they do. There's going to be some tough times ahead for some people I know and I'm glad that I can stand back and not be caught up in it.
FOOD! :) Later :)
