Blessing #66 - Wii, Wii, Wii....All the Way Home

Yesterday's blessing posted late......

Got home from work to discover that mom and dad bought a Wii today.  I'm amped cause I love the Wii.  Now I get to get all the fun of picking out games for us to play.

Then we all went to a bonfire at my friend Brenda's house.  I haven't seen dad this entertained and relaxed in a long time.  We all, genuinely, enjoyed ourselves.  :-)

Blessing #65 - Walkabout Wisdom 3

Blessing #64 - Surprise Family Time

Gregory was let go early from his job.  His last day was to be Saturday, but we ended up getting some extra family time today when they released him within an hour of reporting.  "How did we use this extra time together?" you ask.  FOOD!  Family dinner at Applebee's.  YUM!

Mom, Dad, and Greg had their first desert shooters... GOOD TIMES.

Blessing #63 - Wonky Days

First I tried to do the supply order at work and ran across this......

yes look at that more carefully...the description of the toner cartridge says....
 Grill sandwiches and waffles with your free 2 slice sandwich maker....
I guess some companies will do anything for a sale nowadays.

Then a woman came in to ask if we had an original will from the 1970's.  Initially that isn't weird but when you consider the person died in 1984, and they have never put the estate into probate.....that means that one cousin got away with living on the land for over 20 years while the other cousin paid for the taxes and now neither one of them actually has legal claim to the property....OUCH!

Blessing #62 - Sorry Ghost Rider Pattern is Full

Unmanned vehicle hit my parent's van today.  The BIGGEST blessing of the day was that nobody got hurt and there were no major damages.

Blessing #61 - Two Fingers of (Butter) Scotch and Some Sage (Words)

The one thing that I love about real friends is that they always tell you how it is even when it is going to hurt.  In the past 24 hours, two friends with very different experiences of me have both field checked me. 

First Joe was pretty blunt in addressing my reaction to the doctor wanting to burn out my uterus.  He very plainly explained that my fears about completely closing the door to the idea of risking another pregnancy, stating that any guy who really loved me would be able to look past my broken girlie bits....and he was completely right. (I'm still not going to rush into anything irreversible without a. a second opinion or b. insurance to pay for it.)  I can't fault his logic as he said everything I would have to any of my friends if they were in the same situation, but I guess I just needed to hear it from him.

Then today Hooch helped put in perspective another situation that has been bothering me lately.  Okay so maybe I got off the phone crying and then stayed in my bedroom bawling like a 5 year old for the rest of the night doubting my value as a person in the lives of those I love.  Maybe I ended up with bruised feelings in a overly tender heart, but having drowned my sorrows in a butterscotch milkshake I'm feeling reasonably optimistic that I'll have a better grasp on life very soon.

Love you both, but bartender keep it coming.

Blessing #60 - Blueberry Muffin Pudding

Just when I thought there was no way for junk food to tempt me further than the butterscotch cream pie that stares at me all day at work, I discovered blueberry muffin Snack Packs.  OMG....as long as they continue to produce this decadent treat I'm a full fledged devotee.
