two zingers in one day

J: Good grief, woman! You sound like a walrus!


Me: Today is not a special occasion, unless you're going to make it one.
J: I could ask you to marry me! Can I borrow that ring back for a minute?
Me: Old news, Joe.


The love of my life and all in regards to drinking a soda.  :)

friends

If a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do.  Think up something appropriate and do it.  ~Edgar Watson Howe

A true friend is one who thinks you are a good egg even if you are half-cracked.  ~Author Unknown

I kid you not

Today

12:05pm- Found out that I won't be getting a position at ACH anytime soon and in fact, I'll even have to resign (aka, lose my benefits and any chance of picking up where I left off on a different unit and I'll have to start from scratch)
12:15pm - Crying on phone to Joe when some crazy lady walks in and starts talking to me about her son's work schedule. Side note: I don't care, Crazy Lady! #1 Can't you see I'm crying and on the phone?! #2 Your son is 18 years old! He can figure out his schedule himself! Stop doing it for him, you enabler!
12:31pm- Back to work from break.
12:42pm- Lady in the pool asks me if I'm in college. I tell her I've graduated and I'm a nurse but I'm in between jobs right now. She looks me in the eyes and asks if I know the Good News of Jesus Christ and that He has a plan for me and is preparing me for a great position just for me as a nurse and all things will come together if I trust in Christ.
12:43pm- Crying again at God's great love for me.

me!

"This towel has more of a bite to it." That's why I get to marry him, because I know what that meant. Plush with a bite.

oh daddy

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to.

2 Corinthians 7:4

I have great confidence in you; I take great pride in you; I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds.

the one who knows me best

You must hand yourself and all your inward experiences, your temptations, your temperament, your frames and reelings, all over into the care and keeping of your God, and leave them there. He made you and therefore He understands you, and knows how to manage you, and you must trust Him to do it.
