I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Love it...

I made a purchase yesterday that I love.
I have been telling Anthony for a month or two that I want a netbook.
I have also looked them up and researched them but have found them to cost more than I was willing to spend.
Well anyway,
Anthony was at the store the other day and saw one for an AMAZING price, came home to research it and see what people think about it and then told me to go look at it and if I liked it, get it.
Loved it,
so.......
I bought it!

Also,
I have been wanting a new desk for over 4 years.
(since Anthony purchased our first one)
I found one on line for 389 and loved it but Anthony didn't.
So, we searched the Internet to see what we did agree on.
The only ones we agreed on were between 700 and 1000.
WAY TO MUCH.
So I figured that we were stuck with the one we have...
for now.

BUT,
While at walmart the other day,
I was browsing and found a desk that I loved,
so I took a picture of it with my phone and showed it to Anthony...
these were his words...
'Well, why didn't you get it?'
So,
we went and picked it up!

ALSO...
I went and got a membership at the gym.
I went Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
After a rigorous week I decided that I need to slow it down to Monday, Wednesday and Friday because...
I pulled my achilles tendon,
and am having a hard time walking.

I hope I am better by tomorrow so that I can go back.

All in all,
I'd have to say that I've been spoiled this last week.
It's been nice!

You deffinately deserve a little pampering. Good job with the gym, Three times a week is good for you. No need to try and go so much all at once.
