I swore I'd never do this...

Become a blogger. Because I assumed no one else would want to read the randomness that flows from my mind sometimes....well,most of the time. Yet here I sit typing away,the next five sentences already formed and ready to go.

Since this is my very first blog post, I thought I'd keep it light and cheery by keeping the subject on the holidays. Everyone loves the holidays right? Right?? All the shopping lists and traffic, packed stores, no parking, looooong lines and cantankerous (if you also love this word raise your hand) customers.

Wait...what? who said that?!

I meant to say, all the pretty decorations, good food, family time (which may or may not be a good thing,depending on your family) holiday specials, and the general warm fuzzy feeling that Christmas seems to bring. Some people get that from alcohol. I do not. Just saying.

You probably already know that I am currently pretty much out of a job. So Christmas has been a tad bit more stressful for me than usual. And by a tad bit,I mean a lot. Now here is where I'm going to point out something of substance, so if you don't want me to make you think about things, stop reading now.

I like my money. God likes my trust. Do you see where this is going? It's a tug-o'-war kind of deal. I have plenty of income to meet my needs and I tend to believe I'm pretty self  sufficient. This last month and a half or so has been interesting for me, watching God bring money from unexpected places. It has made me grateful to be who I am in the world.

Okay,thats enough with the deepness. Carry on with your day.

  2. I totally raised my hand about loving cantankerous (reminds me of Pollyanna btw).

    Ps. I thought that your "paragraph of substance" was gonna end with you saying that you're a Salvation Army bellringer's pot so for people to please donate money to you. :o)

  3. No job explains why you are blogging now. haha.

    Go on my blog and click on the "get my free bravenet counter" so you can get a hit counter (it's too great, major self esteem to see htat count go up, it's high school and superficial but I don't care). And why are you not following me? I'm giving you about 30 seconds to fix that...1, 2, 3...

  4. Also fix your comment thingy so that you don't have to enter a verification word. That's annoying and it keeps people from commenting as much.
