"You make it hard to smile because you make it hard to breathe"

My thoughts are all jumbly tonight. I'm going to share what that's like with you:

Secondhand Serenade songs keep getting stuck in my head,

Don't forget your bill,

Gotta fix my phone problem,

Plan movie night,
Dinner on the 30th at the Hartzell's,

Riding with Kimmy on Sunday,

Work at 5 tomorrow,

Talk to Alan,

Work on resume,

Get computer fixed,

Another Secondhand Serenade song,

Save money for gas,

Look into hotel prices for Virginia Beach,

Pay sister,

What did he mean when he said that!?,

Say your prayers before bed,

Why isn't he online?? I need to get this figured out,

Work at 9 on Thursday,

Ask Erica how dentist went,

Research carcinoid cancer,

Yet another Secondhand Serenade song,

What is he thinking!?,

Text Morgan,

FOOOOOOOOOOOD.

:) wasn't that fun!?

"You've got me standing in an awkward position with unwanted attention"

Today is a good day! :)
Ju wana know how come?
I'll tell you!
The sun is shining. It's so warm and sunny. It really puts me in a good mood! But that's not all...
I was talking to someone that I know from church who has an unfortunate illness. She's doing okay, but things are tough for her. She's a single mother of a twelve year old boy. For as long as I've known this woman I've had super respect for her. She's a power house! She's done very well in raising her son on her own, and just impresses me more each time I talk to her. Since she is very sick she's out of work, and I imagine her Dr. bills are astronomical. This presents a problem as it is baseball season and her son needs new equipment. She doesn't have tons of money and was worried about paying for it all. By some act of divine inspiration I jumped in my car and scooted over to Dick's Sporting Goods. I grabbed the store manager and asked him if there was anything we could do. To my great delight he told me that we could help her out! I returned home quickly to tell her the news. She was so grateful and so happy. My heart is SO full of joy today because I'm able to help this family out. I'm so excited to see her son's face when he gets his brand new baseball gear for free!!! What a wonderful blessing!
I'm really beginning to understand that "when you are in the service of your fellow being you are in the service of your God."
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!!!!
I got my car back today as well! It doesn't look like anything happened to it! What great work. Plus!!! I didn't have to pay for any of the repair. My dad found this wonderful guy that didn't charge US a penny (he only accepted the insurance company's money).
Man oh man! Things may be tough right now, but put your faith in the Lord and he ALWAYS comes through!!! :D

"Go on ahead and let it fade away."

I have some interesting thoughts tonight.

Excited? :)

I saw just about the most disturbing commercial on t.v. a few moments ago. I won't divulge too many details because I don't believe it deserves promotion of any kind. To put it simply it was an ad for a website where you can find people in your area to date. However, this isn't your every day e.harmony business....oh no. It's for married people who want to have an affair. How disgusting! Am I the only one that's appalled at how the world has become so disgraceful!? Upon further investigation I found that this website is endorsed not only by Dr. Phil, but also Tyra Banks and the all-powerful Oprah Winfrey. The slogan at the end of the commercial is, "when divorce isn't an option."

It definitely begs the question: "What is happening to the world?" Among other thoughts. What an awful shame.

My other locomotion of mind commotion tonight is a little lighter. I witnessed crime tonight. Oh yeah.

A group of friends and I had just frequented the local United Dairy Farmers for ice cream and other treats. Upon our loitering just outside the doors a man burst from inside the establishment with a couple cases of beer tucked under his arm. He quickly sprinted around us, and dove into a car parked around the corner. However, hot on his trail was a very large, angry employee of U.D.F. This dedicated counter clerk proceeded to jump on top of the "get-away car," and he remained on said car until it drove away subsequently knocking him off. The dejected man rose to his feet and head hanging, returned to his position.

Meanwhile, my group of friends and I are still staring, with mouths open in astonishment at the occurrence happening all around us. After the scene unfolded before our eyes we all took a moment to joke about what we could have done to help out the counter clerk, and how we could have possibly stopped the malfeasance.

It was definitely an entertaining situation, and we now all have a special admiration for a certain stalwart cashier.

Let my blog be posted with a note of warning though, kiddies.

Stealing is bad. It is not a joke and should never be taken lightly. As the Good Lord once said, "Thou shalt not steal." So while my comrades and I got a kick out of tonight's events...remember...Thou shalt not...

"What I've done cannot be repeated"

tres tres interesante
Do you ever get the feeling that sometimes you make your life more difficult than it needs to be? :) I definitely do that from time to time. I've decided that I'm wound pretty tight lately, and I'm going to use this month to just relax. Let the good times roll.

"The change you'd bring means nothing else will be the same"

HOOBOY! What an evening! Last night was one of the most interesting nights I've had in a good long while :). Went on an AMAZA-ZA-ZING date with an outstanding young man. Had a picnic, watched some movies....oh yeah and I hit a deer with my car. :( (that part was kinda stinky!)

But it's all okay. The deer lives to be hit another day, and my car...well my car is a little worse for wear, but we're all alive and doing just fine.

But man...what an interesting situation.

I won't go into detail, but I'm not giving up without a fight. It's too good to give up, and this time I want to make sure I do everything in my power to make it work. :)

What an evening.

"And I don't usually notice peoples' eyes...but"

First of all I would just like to point out that my opinion on donuts held up. Even through a rigorous, blind taste test. So way to go Timmy Ho's...your donuts reign supreme.

Anyway I'm leaving for Utah in about two weeks. That's just spectacular. I know a few of you are a little confused right now. You may be asking yourself, "...but Valerie, didn't you say in a previous blog that you aboslutely hate Utah?"

Yes. I did say that I hate Utah. The reason? I hate Utah. However, some of my best friends still live there, and even though they have poor taste in states I still miss them.

Which is why I'm sooooo stoked! :) Plus, we're going to Vegas for a few days, and that's just about the best thing ya ever heard; most excitin' anyway!! (name that movie).
