There's only grace...
I haven't written a "real entry" in 4 days. I realized this upon posting my fried rice... so here ya go.
Thursday is really the one noteworthy day... it was very long but worth every minute. Even worth forgetting to tape the AI results! (I am SO glad those 2 girls went home!) I went to work of course... but I actually got up early and showered and ironed. So then on my lunch break I went to the post office... I actually got back 5 minutes late, whoops. Nobody really cared though. I got Girl Scout cookies which I knew were coming, but my mom threw in a few other cool things as well. Thanks, mom!
After work I went home because I wanted to straighten my hair (yes, I realize that's lame) and I needed to change anyway since I was in business casual clothes. That took WAY longer than I had anticipated, and I got to Bible study 45 minutes late. But I hadn't really missed anything so that was good. I'm really glad I went because it was good times. OK I didn't elaborate very much on that, but oh well :)
After that I ran to Walmart to grab a couple birthday cards (I am MAD at Walmart! They no longer have the "21 things you should have done by the time you're 21" card that I get everyone for their 21st birthday! Unless it's at some other Walmart I haven't been to yet.) and went over to Applebee's in Tampa for Jenny's 21st birthday party! It was so much fun. Her sister went all out with the decorations and the cake and everything. And Jenny loved it so that is always good.
Yesterday after I got home from work, all of Thursday's activities finally caught up with me and I was tempted to go to bed at like 7:45pm! But of course I stayed up and goofed off on the internet instead :) Then today I got up and went to Target at 10am... I never do stuff like that, especially on a weekend! I usually just sit on my butt or don't go anywhere until the afternoon. But I needed a new pan for my fried rice adventure, and I wanted to make the stuff soon! I also ended up getting "The Never Ending Story 2" (Jonathan Brandis!!!!!!! ♥) and "Kindergarten Cop" (It's not a too-mah!) for $5.50 each... awesome.
It took me about 1.5 hrs for the whole fried rice process to be done but it was way worth it. It's not like the best fried rice in world history (that award goes to Taipei in Westport, CT), but I like it enough. Yay!
So anyway, a little tidbit I wanted to share with y'all... I was watching the episode of Celebrity Fit Club where that guy who had gone to rehab comes back. And something he said really stuck out to me. He said, "God spoke to me and told me I was worthy of being tested." That's such an awesome thing to hear! We all go through stuff (I know I have been tested lately... some of you have been victims to that, sorry!) but we are so worth it to God because He would not just sit back and let us go through total crap if He didn't think we were capable of overcoming it! So I've been reminding myself every day that God finds me worthy of the tests that I go through :)
I'm also addicted to these songs:
"Only Grace" by Matthew West (it's in my Myspace profile haha)
"I Shall Believe" by Matt Brouwer
"Praise You In The Storm" by Casting Crowns (they played it at the Bible study I was at on Thursday night... sooo good!)
Oh, OfficeTeam in Danbury called me for a job... wow so they never once called me in 10 months and I never "checked in" with them and they actually called me NOW? Idiots!!! And the Cold Stone I applied at 2 months ago finally called me... too bad I'm moving to the other side of town, sucka!
