Voting day song

Here's a little song I was singing today

To no particular tune

I'm so glad I voted today...
Absentee ballots are the bomb.
no line and I still get my sticker,
Gotta get your sticker.

AND!!!

I got a free Starbucks cup of coffee
For wearing my sticker,
In my favorite red cup, love those red cups
Hey, they gave me two cups!!! score!!!

The only way this day could get better is if my guy and Prop 8 wins!

lalalalalalalalala

I love to vote!

God Bless America

Vote No On 8

Vote No on 8!!!

Our doggie Yogi's stature as a Basset Hound is rather low to the ground, this with the added fact that he is friendly but timid makes him the perfect target for other dogs at the doggie park to "dominate" him (ya know what I mean).

Well, Steve came home with a funny on Sunday. "You know what Troy? I would bet if Dogs could vote they would surely vote no on Prop 8"

I got a huge kick out of that one... Especially since we are such strong YES on 8 supporters, but If you need further explanation just write...

Happy Voting Day

Pray for our nation

Love, Troy

I'm just too cute

I have voiced my opinion about the one thing my Kitchen lady job does not allow and that is nails.

I guess someone served up an acrylic nail in some mashed potatoes and ruined it for all of us...

When I am on vacation I love to indulge my girly love for all things nail-y (Troy Word) I love to try new polishes cause like lip stick and gloss, I am always in search for the perfect nail color.

A couple of weeks ago when I was on ladies retreat one of my well manicured friends revealed the secret for her lovely nails. Broadway nail tips. I have seen full nails in the store before but never thought of going there. I mean come on, all I can think of is Lee Press On Nails and how they popped off right after you put them on. All the gals in my friends room got nails and were walking around all weekend with model hands. I have to admit I was intrigued, especially with the $5.00 price tag. But my being an out of practice manicurist remembered that because I have small nails I used to have trouble fitting myself with nail tips, But guess what? They have tons of sizes and I found just the right ones for me! Hee hee Hee.

I showed up to church wearing my new nails and feeling oh so cute when I noticed my pastors wife was also now well manicured.

We got a good laugh and the nails claim to have 10 day wear so we will see... I'm just too cute...

Sleep In Day

Today is officially our first Monday of vacation Ahhhhhhh.

Eric and I decided we will make no plans and this will be simply a lazy day.

Eric informed me not to wake him up because he will be sleeping until noon.

Enter Daylight Savings time...

I was up at 7:00 and he at 8:00am

Oh well... So much for sleep in day

maybe we will nap later

Showers

Our church is about to have a great growth spurt. I just know it!

It is a young church about to have it's 10th anniversary and all the young kids are getting older and starting to get married. We have five weddings planned for the next year so far and you what that means... Babies

I am hoping since the kids are mostly marrying young that babies are at least a couple of years away but you never know.

Went to a baby shower yesterday, wedding next weekend, another wedding on the 30th it is so much fun to see all the blessings God gives.

Life is a gift

First of November and also my first day of Vacation!!!

I love my school district job!

Seven and a half years ago my son was starting first grade and I decided to go back to work part time.

My prayer was for a part time job that paid more than $10.00 per hour and fit into my homemaker schedule.

I had several friends who loved their school district jobs so I decided to apply.

I went to the district office and pulled every application that interested me, teachers aide, kitchen lady, secretary I would try them all.

I took and passed the required tests and then came the waiting part.

The first to respond was the cafeteria, I had applied for three positions, one elementary, one high school and one floater. I was nervous but after I interviewed, the women made me feel so welcome I knew that was the place for me. They offered me all three positions so I chose the elementary because I wanted the little kids to be served with a smile.

Not only does this job fit into my lifestyle, but I can work extra if I want and I have been nothing but blessed by the schedule.

My son is in his last year of middle school and I treasure being on vacation with him, spending time with him and enjoying his company.

School district jobs... Works for me!
