Talent and Grace…

I usually sit at my desk and eat lunch and do some interweb type surfing. I try to always bring my lunch because it is cheaper and most of the time, healthier.

Today I had a frozen weight watchers meal of pasta – with red sauce. I heated it up and started to walk back to my desk while balancing it on top of my drink….because it’s hot dude! Can you see what’s coming? I rounded the corner to walk back to my desk and promptly dumped the entire red cheesy mess all over the carpet next to somebody’s desk…nice job!

I was thinking about renting out my services for all your food serving needs since I have such mad skillz in this department….any takers?

And This is Why People I Work With Think I’m a Bit Unbalanced…..

 Here is a little tip for you. If you want the people you work around NOT to think there is something wrong with you, do not buy a Chicken Soup for the Soul Daily Calendar for your desk.  

At least a couple of mornings a week I sit at my desk and cry because of the sad and/or heart tugging stories on my stupid desk calendar! Not just once or twice….on a regular basis.

 

So, if you hear regular sniffling coming from a co-worker’s cubicle or desk area in the mornings, take pity on them….and hide their daily calendar!

Easter Aftermath….

Um…..I think we have a problem here.

I need prayer guys…….lots and lots of prayer! This is more temptation than any mom should have to face. I view it as an obstacle to overcome. My kids, they view it a bit differently!

Who Knew?

Did you know that if you eat too many of these

You will get a stomachache? Who knew……..

I guess I better lay off the jellybeans for awhile!

Adventures in humility part 2….

It would seem that today just wasn’t my day! I was out sick yesterday so I had alot of stuff piled up on my desk when I got to work this morning. Then, about an hour into my day I decided to get a drink - I take 2-litres to drink because they are less expensive than cans. So I’m pouring my glass of diet cheer-wine (and before you get too excited, it’s not nearly as fun as it sounds…it’s some type of of diet cherry cola) and the entire 2-litre exploded all over the front of my sweater when I opened it. I was covered in reddish splotches. 

 Since I live 30 min. away and didn’t have time to go home and change, I drove to Walmart to try to find a shirt to wear. Normally I don’t enjoy Walmart AT ALL but did manage to find a cute shirt(and a cute pair of earrings, but who’s counting!) Then, coming out of Walmart and heading back to work I took a wrong turn not once, but twice. In my defense, I’ve never driven around that area before! I did finally make it back to work and had a relatively normal day….until having a fight over the phone with my husband while driving home (and yes I use a bluetooth….I don’t drive while talking on the cell phone)

All in all, it wasn’t the best day I’ve ever had. But, God is still in control, my husband and I still love each other, life is okay and this will all pass. And at the end of the day, I still ended up with a new shirt! Things usually aren’t as bad as they look at first.
