I havent blogged in a few days…

But it hasn’t been on purpose.

I’m still awake, however, I’d rather be in bed.

My body is going through some sort of insomnia phase where I crash at about 1 or 2 in the morning and then I’m awake at 6:30 / 7 in the morning. It’s like a biological alarm clock in the morning…always around the same time, and never past 7. It’s also made me just a tad bit moody lately…

I wake up on grouch mode and I’m just about the worst person to be around until I have my coffee.

I revamped the layout for August…

I’m still trying to decide what will go in the BIG WHITE BLANK SPACE at the top of the page…but I’ll figure something out, I guess.

Give me time.

I switched purses last night.

I was tempted to purchase a new bag on Nordstroms.com and after a while of searching, I realized that the bag that I really wanted was already in my closet in it’s little Coach bag protector.

That’ll teach me.

So far today, I’ve gotten two compliments on a bag that I thought I’d probably never use again. It almost feels brand new. Further verifying that I made a good choice in saving the money.

However, I did purchase The Wire Season 2 and 3 today from Best Buy. They were on sale for $34.99 each…I dig it.

Maybe I’ll shoot those in the AM.

Alright….Nite Nite.

One person that you always hear me mention is God.

As I rolled out of bed this morning, jumped into some clothes, conversed with Incog about the “color” of his shirt, grabbed my Coach purse, looked to Incog to point me in the direction of the keys to my Brand New Lexus, flew downstairs behind Incog, and got in the front seat of my brand new car, and answered the talking lady who now exists in my brand new car, I realized something…

Only by the grace of God was I able to do all of the things I did this morning. Only by the grace of God was I able to even WAKE UP this morning.

Now you all know I’m not the preachy type, but something has to be said for a God who HEARS when you pray and RESPONDS when you pray.

I have so many things that I’m thankful for this year, I dont even know where to begin. I guess I’ll just start by saying:

Thank you for waking me up this morning, God. Thank you for loving me, God. Thank you for my mom and family, God. Thank you for Incog, God. Thank you for my true friends, God. Thank you for my job, my car, and everything that I have been blessed with, God.

I probably wont post again before Thanksgiving. And you all know that I’ll probably come back with a bazillion photos, but…

what are YOU thankful for?

Have a blessed Tuesday and Wednesday ya’ll…

He was a gentleman in his early 30s and slightly larger…..he was on the elevator this morning…. After I had gotten my morning hot chocolate from the Cafe, I had boarded the elevator expecting to be alone for the ride up to the 14th floor. With hot chocolate, the day’s mail, my coach bag and morning grogginess, I boarded the elevator EXPECTING…….TO BE….ALONE.

But he smiled at me, and said hello….and NOT ONCE on the whole elevator ride up to the 14th floor did his smile fade. His smile made me want to wish him a good day….It was an immediate response from both parties as I exited on the 14th floor and he prepared himself for his exit on the 15th.

You know, God has a way of taking a BLAH morning and turning it into something nice…..There are a lot of nice people in the world, but a lot of time it’s forshadowed by all the NEGATIVE people in the world.

If everyone could have a smile on the elevator like I did, the world would be a better place.

Have a blessed day you guys,
