Various....
I am currently sitting here sipping my Starbucks latte, and I haven't even left the house yet!
I have not figured out how to make them at home, which would make you wonder just how did I get this wonderful pick-me-up?
My dear husband!!!!
He went out this morning to get mice (dead frozen mice to feed to George and Wanda... his snakes), and asked if I needed anything (silly question, really... he already knew the answer...tee hee). So I (of course), said "COFFEE please". To which he replied that he is NOT going to Tim Hortons (the line ups are always RIDICULOUS here), but he would go to Starbucks and call me when he gets there so I could tell them my order over speaker phone (he doesn't even drink coffee, so the Starbucks lingo is all Greek to him).
So that is how I am able to sit here enjoying a Starbucks Latte, without even leaving my house!
OK... next topic....
I had ordered a few things from Stampin Up! (shocking, I know)... and it was arriving at Michelle's (my SU demonstrator) house on Wednesday. She lives in Selkirk, which means that I get my stuff the day after it arrives. To most people, this is no big deal, but to me (I always want my order the day before I ordered it) this is yet another way for God to help me learn patience (He still has LOADS of work in that department with me!). Anyway. Michelle's husband works in Winnipeg, so he often drops off my order first thing in the morning.
I was expecting him to arrive at 7:30am Thursday morning (same time as my first daycare child arrives).
So I got up at 6:30am, put my headphones on, turned on my IPOD, and started my workout on the Elliptical. Normally I try to do my workout during nap/quiet time, but I had a 9 month old baby start, and it hasn't worked out with the nap time thing and by evening... there is NO way I am exercising... all I want to do is sit on the couch (after Christian's football practice, of course).
So... I am rocking along to my IPOD and really looking forward to being done with the workout... I glance out the window to see a blue car backing out of my driveway...CRAAAPPPP... I think it is Michelle's husband!!!! I NEED my stuff... it is only 6:50am!!!!! I jum off the elliptical, and go racing down the stairs, throw open my front door and tear across the grass to the street in hopes of catching him. Alas... he is gone, and I realize how ridiculous I must look... let me help you out with the picture... my hair has been slept on all night then pulled up into a messy, not all the way pulled through pony tail, I can't see because I am not wearing my contacts or glasses, no make up (in fact I haven't even washed my face yet), I am wearing a tank top with no bra, and my red satin pajama pants! Needless to say I looked gorgeous running down my driveway :P UGH!!!!! As I walk back to the house, with my shoulders slumped, I see it!!! My stuff is in a SU bag, hanging off my mailbox!!!! YAHOOO!!!!!!!! Now the debate... open the bag and forget my workout (and shower)... or suck it up... restrain a little while longer... and finish my workout/ shower.
God was with me, as I was able to forgo the desire to go through the bag, and I finished my 11.5kms and jumped in the shower!!! LOL
