I thought of you today...

Holy heavens above! My last few days have been CRAY CRAY! I've worked...I've been preparing to teach a lesson in church. My best friend decided to abandon me and go and live with a boy for time and all eternity! I've been fighting my strange addiction to go and buy a bunch of school supplies. (Failed...I do love the crayons I bought though!) My escape from reality is usually found in the crisp pages of my dearest book friends. But even they failed me. I have read a couple of books the past two days but I wouldn't recommend them to you because they were simple not ones that I would come up to you and beg you to read. I have very high standards for you all and wouldn't spoil/waste your time! I went and bought a bookshelf finally because mine is ridiculously full and sadly assembled it backwards! The whole time I was putting it together, hammer in hand, I was laughing on the inside thinking, "Who needs a man!? I can do this! All the single ladies...all the single ladies!" Then I flipped it upright and NOOOO!!! (I actually used a lot stronger language but I don't want you to think less of me so let's stick with NOOO!!) My girl instincts really kicked in when I tried to fix said mistake by painting the wrong sides with white nail polish...FAIL! Life is like a black diamond trail. Take off my skis and wait for my family in the lodge I'm done! I do have a few posts on reserve for you but I'm saving them to BAM blow your mind later! I had this moment of feeling like I failed you...and then I started thinking about all of the people who support me in this book addiction of mine! So today this post is for you...because instead of whining and being sad about my ability to assemble a bookshelf...I want to count my blessings! AND tomorrow I will post about books which I always love but TODAY I need gratitude. Today I'm grateful for...
