I have made it out of bed the last two mornings, within the 5:00 hour of the morning. Thank Heaven! I mean it, I have a stickler for a guardian angel and if I ask him to get me out of bed, he sure does. It has paid off, even if it was just enough time for me to get ready for the day before O woke up. I'm gonna work my way up to journaling, reading and enjoying my coffee slowly. Coffee. Now there's an interesting facet of my trip to Target this morning. I had both a target and manufacturer coupon for coffee. I was super excited to reach this almost "trifecta" of an experience (it was not on sale but the coupons totaled $3 off!!). Walking around the coffee aisle, I did not come upon this particular bag 'o joe. I asked the smart man in the red shirt for assistance. He led me to the one and only bag left of that coffee. This is not a fairy tale ending . . . it was whole bean and not the right flavor. UNCLE!
Men, tires and free water. A majority of our morning. Bless my DH for losing sleep sacraficially over this. His research skills are impeccable. I have come to understand, in the years that I have dared to pay attention, that men and women are vastly different. Some frustrating ways but some complimenting ways.Thank you God. I'm sure in the van enough, driving mile after mile, walking by those larger than Oreo cookies, black rubber tires. I rarely think to check them for obnoxiously invasive items. Low on air tires seem to jump out at me, but not items in the tires. Screw in my rear tire. Stepson spotted it this weekend. My favorite tire place fixes them for free. Same tire place suggested when I was there in October that we purchase new tires all around. Today was the day. DH researched and found great tires for us - they even ate the cost on a fourth tire so we would have all new ones that were the same brand. Safety is important to them too. Olivia and I enjoyed a free bottle of water with her snack as we waited.
Questions. I have so many questions floating around in my head, a few have made it to my notebook for future reference. A few meetings this week where these questions will be needed. Preparation is all, excited preparation. I have a few questions of not-so-pertinent things: Why does my dog look like he has better "smokey eyes" make up on than I do when I take the time to do it? Seriously. I looked at him this morning and felt a pang of jealousy. Gorgeous eyes! Why do some/alot/most women on t.v think it's okay to flaunt/showoff/reveal their melons to the public? That is totally what they look like. I am boycotting DWS. Have had enough of seeing so many melons - the host's dress last night put me over the edge. Disgusting and sad that the purpose is so distorted.
I love seeing the Edible Arrangements. Such a beautiful array of color, taste, texture, creation. (insert cheezy statement here) Not that I want to put my friends on a stick for display - but I am so grateful for the friends I have that are a beautiful array of color in my life, personality, and blessing. Some friends of closeness, some of distance, some of returning after many years, some of different circles in my life, some from childhood. I am grateful.
