Discipline

Discipline is doing what you know needs to be DONE even if you don’t want to do it.

^ Amen to that. Last night I just starting pick up things and cleaning things and it felt good. Now every day Spencer and I are going to try to walk about 30 minutes. It gets you going and it’s good for you. Spencer does walk more than me but I didn’t want to walk alone.

Then this morning I got up and ready for the day. Dropped Spencer off at trax then went to Jessica’s to do laundry. I got almost all of it done but had to leave the jeans in the dryer.

It felt pretty nice out as I drove to work and hung some t-shirts up around the back of my car to dry a little more while I’m at work.

MAN what a start to my day at work. A gentleman walks in to get a sample of flooring but I had no idea everyone in that department was gone. And one because of a last minute emergency so I felt bad and tried to find someone that could get a sample for him. I called almost 8 more people and most were gone but FINALLY got a hold of someone that was here and could pull a sample. The guy seemed calm but upset, but things do come up so he needs to understand that I’m doing my best especially when it’s during lunch time.

Then he asked if I knew of any good Mexican places close by… and I said I don’t really like Mexican food but I know of a few places.

But then this lady was waiting for someone and chimed in to give him a place. Thank you to her but man it kind of made me feel stupid.

I am fine and not upset about anything but it was a rough first part of the work day for me. It’s Friday so there are no worries.

I do really wish I could get the Girl Scout cookies I ordered right away…. They look so yummy! I did find a recipe that’s close to a certain 4h cookie I used to love and sell when I was in 4h. It was described like this: they had a graham cracker like cookie, a dollop of raspberry jelly in the center surrounded by a ring of marshmallow all covered in chocolate with bits of coconut.  They don’t sell them anymore or I can’t find them. BUT I found a recipe that’s kind of close that I need to tweak a little but hopefully I can make something close to it =] I’ve been dreaming about them.

I CAN”T WAIT!!!

The office seems SO quite today… every either left early for lunch or most people left in general. Oh and let me correct myself it was a 33 cent raise not % I just wasn’t thinking it when I wrote it.

Tomorrow Channelle and I are going to a kinesiology thing. It’s kind of hard to explain what it does but in the end it helps me figure out myself a little more and feel better.

I will probably write to tell you what I learned… depending on what it is of course. =]

Then later off to have dinner with 4 old roommates… Keri, Lynnea, Cynthia, and Ashley. It will be interesting and exciting. We shall see =] It will just be fun to talk to girls since I don’t get to do that very often.

Not last night but the night before I had another weird dream about homeless people. I tell you what, they sure scare me and so does the dark, more than it ever has before sometimes. This may sound weird but I had this teddy bear I slept with that, Stephanie gave me when I was about 8 to take about bad dreams. Well I still have him, his name is pinky and lately I’ve been sleeping with him. Hugging something makes me feel more comfortable lately.

21 days closer to Christ

Day 8

Invitation- Listen

* Think about how you have learned to recognize the voice of the Shepherd. How has His “voice” come to you? Make a list of the moments when you have heard that voice and have heeded the call. Also fine one way to “hear” His voice today.

Well honestly I’m not sure how his voice has come to me. One possible way is through other people. Occasionally I will listen to someone and something they say will just hit me. I have gone to the temple and few times to ponder a situation and more than anything I will feel comforted. And of the course the wonderful talks we hear at General Conference have helped along with prayers.

Well I am excited for it to be Friday and on a side note I’ve decided each day should have one room I should focus on cleaning.

Monday- Bedroom

Tuesday- Living Room

Wednesday- Kitchen

Thursday- Bathroom

Friday- Backroom

I think it might be helpful to focus just on one thing at a time. But of course dishes are daily =]

Have a wonderful positively marvelous day! =p
