I was going to go visit a friend of mine tomorrow. She just had a baby this weekend. But last night my throat started hurting.

I even have a meal made for her! Not fair!
Last night my paster got struck by lightening. And our associate paster has been struck 2 times in his life. So, if our church ever asks anyone you know to come Paster here, just say no.
He's okay though. He was standing outside, touching his car, so it grounded the lightening enough that it just threw him back and didn't kill him.
Very strange.
MP - Hope you get to feeling better. I'm sure your friend will appreciate the food whenever you are able to get it to her.
That is awful about your pastor. Although, I think I would stay away from them if a storm blows up. Just sayin'.
Allie - Oh, dear! We have had a broken garage door spring before. I called my hubby to deal with it

Whenever we have a power outage we have to put our garage door up and down by hand. What a pain! That has happened much more frequently than normal this past year
Hope your DD has a fun-filled birthday party!!!
We have that problem too when the power goes out. It's really bad when you are on the outside, and don't realize the power has gone out. Let's say you get REALLY wet.

Although, without the spring you CAN'T lift it at all, unless you are the HULK.
DD had a lovely birthday. We just had the cousins spend the night. Slumber parties are much better when it just involves family members.
We went bowling, they came home and played Wii (thanks to George Bush and the rebate check ), then we ordered pizza, and had birthday cake. Then they wanted to go swimming after dark. So I took them down to the neighborhood pool at 8:00 last night, and they swam until 9:30. I would highly recommend this action for anyone having sleepovers.

I had NO problems getting them into bed and asleep.
They woke up at 7:00 this morning, which isn't that bad. They have eaten powdered doughnuts, chocolate chip and blueberry muffins for breakfast. Then we are heading to the mall. I'm going to give them each some money and let them buy whatever they want. Overall I think it has been a successful birthday!

I have some muffins left over if you want to make a road trip to AL.
GOOD MORNING!
I start the new job today. I train for a half day then off to the beach. I start full time next Tuesday when we get back.
There was a nice lunch yesterday at the church office and they gave me a cute beach bag and beach towel and there was a $50 gas card and a $50 Cracker Barrel card in the pocket. And a nice card with things that made me cry written inside. I love those people.
Did I mention I got my car fixed....$500. Thank goodness for the tax refund check that came in the mail yesterday.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Good luck at training for the new job, and have fun at the beach.
Sounds like you did a goog job for the church.

Those are nice gifts that sound like they can get used real quick. Glad you got the car fixed for not SO much money. Sorry you had to spend your rebate check on it though.
