the last few days....

Evenin folks...I'm going to see how much I can get update while I'm in class...I was late (because I got held up at work)...I didn't read for tonight (I'll get to why in a bit)....and I just don't wanna be here...so you get my attention instead...aren't you happy? :-)

Let's see...Work is well work - *sigh*....2 more days till the split...things had started slowing down...but then we'll get something in that has to be done yesterday....I'm ready for a future due date on something!!! That's what I was doing tonight instead of getting to class on time! Oh well! I didn't miss too much - I was about 30 min late (class is about 2.5 hrs)...

My favorite red head lost her grandfather this past weekend - I was heartbroken to hear about it (and I didn't hear about it till too late..). She was planning to go visit for one last full family visit (knowing he was in ill health)...but he passed before they made it down... Her birthday was friday...and her anniversary is this coming Sunday (if I remember correctly)...they've been married 7 years - WOW! time flies! I'm getting to keep her munchkins this weekend (well Friday night), so they can have a night alone! That'll be fun! :-) Her monkey (read daughter) has my sweet wonderful husband wrapped around her little finger!!!! It's cute!

This past weekend was "painting" weekend....we actually started applying paint to the walls....in theory - great idea...in reality - a WEEKEND LONG NIGHTMARE!!! but as of today they are blue!! (the reason I'm not prepared for class!) Friday we finished taping off the room, and I started painting...almost halfway around the room I my sweety needed me to go back and "touch up" something...when I did...the part that should have been "dry"...just peeled right off...*sigh*...I was not happy!!! The place we got the paint had told us that if the paint comes off with nail polish remover then it's latex, and so we bought latex, but the peeling of made it appear to be oil based...My sweety called one of his deer hunting buddies, who's a painter, who told us that we needed to get it off as quick as possible....he recommended 409 and lots of scrubbing...I'm sold on 409...it'll get anything off!!!! We got all but about 4 feet squared cleared off (by then it was 1AM)...Saturday we had to get the rest off - we were SO thankful we had done as much as we had on Friday night! THREE bottles of "Oops" later, and it was off...we got the primer and on Sunday got that on the walls....so for those keeping score at home - 3 days TONS of work - many sore joints and muscles - and we had the primer on! Last night we painted the blue...tonight my sweet wonderful husband said he was going to touch up the walls and the trim so it will be DONE tonight, and maybe by tomorrow night we can sleep in OUR room again!! :-)

Let's see...what else...

Oh - something that to me was awesome! Sunday night when I was saying my prayers at bed time, I asked God to show me his power on Monday...I asked him to show me something that I would know "that was God"...I do that periodically when my faith feels so weak...and Monday I got a call from my friends, that K had gotten a job! It was an answer to prayer for her...which was an answer of prayer for me...the way it all fell into place it HAD to be a God thing! They were needing some "uplifting" and to see God do something great in their lives...they had been dealt some tough things to deal with, and this was a turning point! Ain't God good! in answering their prayer...and them calling me to tell me...God answered my prayer...2 birds one stone! :-)

Ok - well I've updated, and still have 30 minutes of class...I can't think of anything else to write about though...I think I'm done...so better do spell check and get this posted...

Love y'all (if I know ya - if you're a lurker I don't know ya to love ya) LOL!
