The best kinds of friends are the kinds you can go 15 years without talking to, but then the next time you get to talk to each other, you can just pick up where you left off... like that big chunk of time was a mere passing moment.

gum smakin' goodness
I am an obnoxious gum-chewer. Always have been. And this stick I am chewing today is a particularly good piece as I can make it snap like ten times in a row. I'm snappin' it like I got a regular corner to work.
*snap*
*snap*
*snap*
*snap*
Good thing I'm alone.
your total today is one fifty five forty nine
On Friday I went birthday shopping at Belk, a department store I had not been in since probably 1984. They were having a huge blowout sale and everything was marked down.
I got #2 a navy blazer.... which he needed.........and a tie.... oh, and several things for myself.
And, because if I opened up an account, I saved another 15% on top of the 20% they took off for using the card for my day's purchase, which was on top of the 40-50% discount of the blowout sale items...... I was on top of the world. A Really. Smart. Shopper.
So, as I joyfully walked back into the house, gobs of seratonin coursing through my veins, I announced to King, "Hey, check it out, I SAVED two hundred and fifty dollars!!!"
I guess he just doesn't understand logic. Poor guy. You get it, though, right?

she might need the prayer, she might need the prayer, she might need the prayer
Dear lady trying-to-be-sneaky who jumped in front of a line of about six people who had been patiently waiting their turn at the register this morning at Joann Fabrics,
I am really trying hard to not be mad at you despite the fact that it was extremely rude. I am overriding my instinct to hope you step in a muddy rain puddle all the way up to your knees so that your pants stay wet the rest of the day and instead am lifting you in prayer that you don't get cancer. I hope you can use my prayers because you are getting them whether you deserve them or not.
Besides, despite what you may be accustomed to think, that this isn't about you. It's about me.
Peace be with you,
:o) mg
ps- Next time, all you have to do is ask.

silly silly king
King is exactly two weeks older than I am. So, for those fourteen days, I always tease him about being SO MUCH OLDER than I am.
Cradle robber!
On Thursday night, the eve of my 43rd, I walk into the kitchen to find these flowers with a note:

best birfday
This has been one of my best birthdays in.... now.... 43 years.
The fact that God has blessed me with such wonderful friends. And a husband who puts me on a pedestal, despite the fact that I am afraid of heights. It is all very humbling. And beautiful.
Not only that, but that li'l buggah pulled off a surprise birthday dinner and invited friends who never uttered a peep about the plans. With roses. That smelled like roses are supposed to smell! And a card. With a certificate for a pedicure, even!
"Thank you" doesn't even begin to come close, but it's a start. Thank you!!
