In conversation...

I heard something the other day that was very encouraging...

It started out by going to the Doctor with Rodney and waiting in the waiting room...we were sitting near the back and the nurse came out and told Rodney it was time to go back and they said for me to come along that there was another waiting room in the back that I could stay in...well we get back there and within two minutes Rodney is called back to actually see the doctor. So as I am sitting there acting busy in my magizine a lady walks in rather slowly...you could tell that she was in major pain, her body was just in trembles as she walked through the waiting area...she turned to me and asked if I was here to see the doctor...I told her no but my husband was back with the doctor now...she said, "o I really hope he is okay, because they have done everything possible for me and nothing seems to work...she told me what she had but I can't remember the name of it, but it was where the muscle start to deteriate and it is very painful...as she put it there is not an inch of my body that doesn't hurt and that is a constant hurt...never any relief...I sat there thinking I am so happy that I don't have to feel that way but for this lady it was just like I wanted to help her in some way just for a minute with no pain...But as she stood there she said just outta the blue (I think medication was part of it...) said, "you know I had a lady last week in here say that I must not love God..." I knida smiled and said, "well how would she know!" This lady then told me that the other lady that had told her this said that God gave her this disease and that she should just hate him for it...YES my mouth fell open...I just said, "WELL THAT ISN'T TRUE...God only gives a person what they can handle..."and that is when she stopped me and said, "yes I know and can you imagine what I would be like if I didn't believe that God is with me every step of the way...and she walked in another side room...

I just sat there thinking...I am so weak that I think my problems are so bad that sometimes I think God might have just left me...I can't believe those thoughts were actually in my head! I sat there and counted my blessings...I need to relize that I may not be prefect, but I don't have to be! I am me and I am going to be me for a long time, I hope...I sometime take life for granted, people for granted, looks, thoughts, smiles...this meeting w/ this lady made me relize that a short little conversation in passing may just be what someone needs to brighten there day...you don't know what is going on in everyone's mind but why make it worst with a sour look or bad comment...and I think I will forget about putting my nose in a magizine so noone talks to me next time, for sure! ; )

American Idol Comments

Last night was the 1st show of the 7th Season for American Idol...I was so excited about it being back on!

It was just terrible...there were some good ones, but my goodness at the bad ones....(SEXY FACE)

I feel so sorry for these people ever season. I just don't understand how a mom or dad can send their daughter or son out to the wolves like that! Why encourage them to be on this show they will just get made fun of or laughted at!

I don't understand how the people can actually think they are good? Now if you know you can't sing and you go just for the fun of it that is one thing...but to go and be encourged to go by co-workers, friends etc. - that is just MEAN! The guy that sang LET ME PEOPLE GO so deep...WHY did people tell him to audition???? JUST TO MAKE FUN OF HIM....there is no other explaination...and now he is heartbroken b/c he didn't make the cut!

Or what about the Girl that was 16 and a football player and was doing this for her MOM...that was so sad...but at least the judges didn't laugh out loud at her...they handle it well...but still WHY encourge that of your daughter...come on!

Anyway, MY FAVORITES, would be the blonde that trained horses and trained to fight in a cage, and then was the guy that lost the 204lbs...

Show the LOVE!

Haircut...

Well I did it! A Hair Cut...it has been 6 years since I have really had a true haircut...I have had trims and layers etc., but not a HAIRCUT...

As you can see the front it slightly longer than the back and in the back it is cut in layers...I love it b/c I can feel my neck...it isn't under a lot of messy hair!!!!

I have learned that long hair doesn't = pretty hair! I have a style now and can actually play with it a little! I may even go shorter next time who knows!

Just wanted to share my hair life with you!!!! See ya!
