And So It Begins...

O how long I have needed to begin one of these. I tend to talk a lot, because, like most people, I have a lot to say and I conjure up a lot of things that most people don't- only- I thoroughly enjoy voicing any and all of my opinions, and most importantly- my thoughts...as ridiculous as they may be.

Speaking of ridiculous. I was on our local newspaper's website, only to find two gentlemen [with the mindset of young children, mind you] arguing over the spelling of ridiculous. Bizarre, I know. One guys spelled it "rediculous", and the other insisted on correcting him. It didn't help they were already fighting about something completely unrelative to grammar- so it was just fuel to the fire for the other guy. Kinda funny, I thought. Sometimes you gotta stop and think about the silly things we fight about, and how pointless it really is. My Grandma always told me when I was a little girl and I wanted something really bad, but kept changing my mind, she asked me if I would regret not getting it the next day I woke up. In most cases, I would wake up with regret knowing I'd missed out. But we could always go back to the store and buy it the next day. Sometimes, I find myself repeating that phrase in my head when it comes to the words that come out of my mouth- and whether or not I'd regret speaking them the next morning. God inspired my Grandma and my Grandma inspired me.

Anywho. The office is quiet- everyone's off to lunch now. I am just sitting here...typing away, drinking my coffee, which, by now, has gotten a tad cold, and I am thinking of popping it into the microwave for a few. Then again, my portable heater is warm, and I'm afraid if I get up now, I'll get cold again. There's a big board meeting going on with some of the hot shots. Ugh. Meetings stress me out. But, I am almost ready for lunch- and I will be long gone...for an hour anyways.

This weekend is bound to be bitter-sweet. As soon as I get amped about one aspect of it, I am saddened by the latter. We're going four-wheeling with a bunch of good friends, which will be a good last sha-bang before we all go back to college- or in some of their cases- new families. Zach leaves Sunday evening for school, and my heart goes with him! Though he reminds me almost every day, that he only has six months left.

O how God blesses me...and in so many ways. Sometimes I have to dig to find them. I recently discovered a really good song. A few actually. But the one that stands out most to me is "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath, a Christian composer. My iTunes count must be something of 100 over the period of three days. True story! My suggestion to you is: listen to it; every word. Never seems to get old.

I have several blogs from my MySpace I will be transferring over soon enough- since I am ever so behind on my blogging etiquette. I will need to get back into the swing of things- but until then, I'll post some of my aged work. Oldies, yet goodies. Thanks for reading. Till tomorrow...
