the essence

The best things in life are free. But you can give them to the birds and bees, I want MONEY!

Last week I realized that my birthday is coming up soon. I realized this as I was thinking about all of the new clothes I "need" & was wishing that I had money to buy said clothes. When I remembered my birthday I called Ray & requested a shopping trip as my birthday gift. :)

Something about it came up with my boss yesterday & she told me to e-mail everyone at the office & let them know where I like to shop. I just can't see myself doing that though. Plus, I'm such a thrifty shopper that I usually just buy at places I can find the best deal.

Anyway, enough of that sob story. :p I've got my coffee right now so I'm happy. :) Plus, I worked out a lot yesterday & I'm feeling much better after our trip. I'm bound & determined to get some muscle tone back. Its been years since I've had any of that.

Oh, I just remembered a HUGE prayer request. We have two or three different houses we're considering & if we go with the one we'd need to make the decision today. I used to abhor the neighborhood this house is in but the longer we're looking & the farther away from the city we're looking the better this neighborhood seems. :) I actually kind of hope we get this house we looked at yesterday. Please pray!
