Being Kind Does Bring Blessings

This has been on interesting day today. Colton leaves the house around 8:30 to attend class at PJC and calls at 9:20 to tell me that class has been canceled. He then asks if he can hang out with a friend of his for the rest of the day. Being who I am I suggested that Colton bring his friend Vincent over and they could just hang out at the house. It wasn't 30 mintues later when Colton and Vincent came through the door and began playing Rock Band. Carley and I continued to wade through all the school work we needed to get done. We went over predicate nominatives, predicate adjectives and other little grammar details. From there we reviewed the Stamp Act, Sugar Act, and many other great details of the beginning of America History. Reviewing American History really stirs up the idea of wanting to give each Congressman a test of his or her own knowledge of American History. If our forefathers could see what our country is like today, they may have stayed in England or let the France and Spain have the USA. We are not the same nation at all. After History, Carley and I found ourselves knee deep in Algebra and consecutive integers. During all this schooling I was thinking Vincent would be staying with us all day and eating dinner with us. Colton and Vincent went to the movies and by the time Colton came back, Carley and I were almost done with school. My brain was dead by that time and I needed a nap. After napping for awhile, I woke up to find Kelly, the minister of music, at the house working with Colton on a project. Instead of Vincent eating dinner with us, Kelly ate with. I tell you all this to say I NEVER know what each day brings, and sometimes what I think will take place, never does.

The purpose of this e-mail is to share what happen to me a few weeks ago. Like most women who are married, we are the ones who are responsible for most of the washing of clothes. I spent a good part of my day washing clothes in this washing machine.

As I pulled the clothes out of the dryer, most of them were quite wrinkle like this.

I felt really bad that all the clothes that I had washed for David were not just wrinkled, but really wrinkled. Most of the clothes looked like a topical geographical map that a grade school child would do for a school project. Are you getting the picture? Lately David has been putting a lot of thought into what he wears since he has lost the weight he needed to lose. I will say this as bluntly as I can, David is looking good, real good! I love the way David looks when his shirts look all crisp and not like a topical geographical map. I did what I had to do.....IRON. Did I just hear some gasping sounds?


David and I went out to dinner and then to Office Depot to pick up a few things. While we were there David showed me a netbook and asked what I thought of it and wanted to know if I would want one. I naturally fell in love with it and of course I would want one. I think I wanted one, I am not sure what I need when it comes to electronics. David is so patient with me and explains most of the ins and outs of what this netbook can and can't do. After my crash lesson I knew this is what I needed. What does the man of my dreams and my knight in shinning armor do when he comes home? He begins to research the internet about netbooks and the best price he can get for a netbook as I begin to iron and iron. I ironed many dress shirts and pants. I must have been in some really weird mood but really didn't mind ironing. About the time I am done ironing, David asks me what color would I like my netbook in? I could have chosen white, black, blue, or pink. Let's see here, I have two males that live in the house and a girl who hates the color of pink with a passion. You want to guess what color I chose?

Here it is.......


Here I am sitting here with my little pink Acer typing away. Thank you for humoring me with reading all the details. I can't wait to see what this weekend will bring. I know what I want to do, but lets see if I get to do it. It has something to do with unpacking boxes of books. Hope you get to blessed by being kind and you get to do at least one thing you have planned for the day.
