Been a few days...

Wow it's been over a week since I updated! Well ya know how life tends to get ahead of you. There are so many things that have been keeping me busy. Here's a cool little note though - I called my ISP because of an increase in my monthly payment that I wasn't aware of and they increased my bandwidth. How cool is that? of course my computer is slower than molasses but at least the internet is moving faster! :)

Gosh lets see. I had my NSD (National Scrapbook day) crop on the 6th (last saturday). That was a ton of fun. I have to make thank you cards to send out to all the gals that attended. They were sweet ladies :) we had a ton of fun, and I actually got a bunch of stuff done - no journaling. Maybe I'll work on that tomorrow.

My friend Tracy asked me about my friend Jeff, and sort of let me know that she is 'interested' in him. Wow. Of course I must preface this by saying that last summer everyone was wondering if Jeff was interested in me, and vice versa so she was very nervous about approaching me. I gave her my blessing, happily about it and while I don't necessarily think she needed it, apparently SHE did think she needed it, sooo who am I to say otherwise? They spend a lot of time getting to know each other, and phone time and all that stuff. I am happy for them :) If it goes anywhere. Last night I was hanging out w/Jeff, Lisa, and John at Lisa's house and he sent MAJOR mixed signals if you get what I mean. Like we sat on one couch, John in the arm chair, and lisa laid out on the other couch. Jeff actually got a pillow, put it in my lap and then put his head in the pillow and proceeded to fall asleep there! Yeah. And here I am just a week ago insisting to Tracy that if he ever WAS interested, he surely isn't now.... and that I wasn't either. Gotta admit the attention was nice, but on the whole... I'm NOT interested! I think. Ugh. Sooo confusing. Even Lisa was confused cause I hung out after Jeff and John left, and we chatted about that, her 'guy' friend situation, and the situation w/"R". Life is so weird. The only thing that is simple is God. He's simple. He tells us exactly what we need to know, when we need to know it, and asks us to trust and obey him. How simple until our own brains get in there and muddle it all up you know?

This week has been unusual too. "R" and I are not spending nearly as much time anymore on the phone, but we still chat quite a bit. Wed was our phone call this week and it was 3hrs long. *sigh* I find that I am no longer really pining away for him, but definitely do look forward to our talks. Of course he gave me a huge lecture on Ty and how I'm too soft on him and need to give him stricter guidelines. He's probably right there! So I did lay down the law a bit on Thurs/Fri and poor kid had no idea where it came from. R is right though, I really don't enforce much around here with him. But still... Love that boy and I just want whats best for him!

I sorta went back to work. I got placed at a nice, small family owned company. They are really nice people and I like them, but I am just so leary of it all. After having the rug pulled out from under you, you wonder if people are really what they pretend to be you know? not that these people are pretending, but I admit that I'm a bit gun shy! So between that and the interview I had wednesday that went well, I'm excited - I'll be back to work before I know it. Hopefully I'll be able to take my vacation though in August. Thank God HE takes care of my needs for me.

of course the old job is fighting my unemployment. They do that to everyone, so I don't take it personal, but I'll be darned if they get away with it you know?? The 'investigation' process takes 4-6 weeks though so I won't see any $$$ for quite a while. And now that I'm semi-back to work, I won't be entitled for much of anything ANYWAY. But it's ok. God is good. HE takes care of me. And I'll have a paycheck next week so it's all good. Won't get TOO far behind on my bills. Just wish I'd had more in savings you know?
