free time

why is it that no matter how many times you have heard something and agreed with it, that you always end up failing to do it? there are so many times that i either hear something or read something from the bible that is just screaming “listen bonnie!” and at the time i say “oh yeah” and then even days later i find myself continuing on with my way as if i hadn’t heard/seen it at all. then awhile down the road i’m reminded yet again and the cycle continues. i know i’m not the only one out there. doesn’t everyone yearn for someone to tell them exactly what they are supposed to be doing in life? so often someone does and we are too blinded by our own selfish desires to listen. and how many of us hear that little voice in our heads telling us to do or not do something and no matter how loud that voice gets we still choose to ignore it? how many of us take each and every second for granted as if we will have the next one and the next one only later to hear on the news of some freak accident that took the life of a little one or an unexpected illness claiming the life of someone’s loved one? i know you are thinking (as well as i am even typing this) that yeah yeah these are all great points but who cares. but really shouldn’t we all care? for in the next second i or you could die of a fluke accident whether it be a heart attack or a gun shot, both of which seem highly unlikely but don’t you think the people it happens to thought the same thing? and another thing….don’t you find it eerily funny that the people you find yourself judging at first sight often end up being your best friend or in some form a better friend to you than you ever thought possible? isn’t it funny how God works? how He can stick the very thing in your face that you try so hard to avoid? life is funny but God is even funnier. i’d like to spend a day with God and watch all the amazing things He can do…..but then again don’t I have that opportunity everyday? A friend to pop up just when you least expect it, a new born baby, a beautiful sunrise/sunset, hugs, kisses, that little tingle in your tummy when someone you love looks your way, the stars at night, dreams to follow, family and friends, a not so graceful moment just so you will take a moment to laugh at yourself, jelly donuts :), etc. thank you God!

noisy

ever have one of those mornings when you eat breakfast yet your tummy continues to make endless chatter wanting more?

hodge podge

wow, i must be slacking. a whole 10 days since my last entry hehe.

this past weekend was SOOO fun! i must say that atlanta is not my favorite place due to multiple roads named basically the same thing, but the braves game was awesome! my first live baseball game…hot dogs and all. after some of those cab rides i’m just happy to be alive. we ate at this awesome place called sambuca. i loved it! it was the perfect atmosphere. there was a live jazz band and candle lit tables. brandon, meagan, justin, and i really got a chance to sit and talk about anything and everything. it was fun! i cant wait til the next adventure.

tomorrow i get my kitty finally!!! i pick him up after work. i really hope apache will like having a brother around. saturday i will have to get up early to watch them while justin works. poor thing doesn’t have a name but i’m workin on it. any suggestions?

before i go ….i just wanted to mention, in case i haven’t said it before….i hate spreadsheets!!!
yeah….random i am tonight.

idea

just an idea….but maybe i should pick a weird topic and write what i think about it…..when there really isn’t anything else to write about. ok here’s one that matt thomas brought up the other day at work….he says that the only reason most guys will befriend a girl is if he has some kind of hidden intentions toward her….some attraction of some sort. is this true? i dont know. i know that in the past i could relate to that. but i must say not with all of my guy friends. i think there are some that you befriend that you develop a true relationship with as a brother figure of some sort and the others are just for fun/attraction. i think there is something inside almost everyone that another person could find “attractive” if you want to use that word….whether it be a feature or an attitude. all i can say is i’m glad i dont have to worry about all that mess anymore. ok….goodnight to all!

sleepy

i’ve come to the conclusion that i shouldnt be driving when i’m tired….especially at night. i dont know how many times tonight i drifted off into my own world and forgot where i was going or ended up somewhere i didn’t necessarily want to be. it was interesting to say the least. i think i also might have run over a snake tonight..mmmm! 😉 tabitha was at the apartment with the girls tonight. i haven’t seen her since graduationish time. she has been in africa for most of the summer. it was great to see her again.

i went home last night to see my uncle i haven’t seen in a few years……boy can he talk! but it wasn’t so bad and we got some work done on my sister’s daycare today. i hated the long trip back but i made it. well since i haven’t really found anything interesting to say and its after midnight, i suppose i should get off here and dry my hair and go to bed. church will come way too soon….and it’s gonna be a LONG….napless day tomorrow.

fun

Lunsford is here visiting this week and tonight for entertainment we are highlighting her hair. This should prove to be interesting. We just got back from CVS and we were the customers I hate because we went in 4 minutes before closing time. I just hope Erin and Jennifer are still on speaking terms once they are finished.
Other news….I think I might actually get my new computer at work tomorrow. It’s about time! I’ve been working crazy hours trying to get all my work done so info services can kidnap my Courseworks program for a few days to upgrade it. Justin was so sweet last night. He went back to work with me after church and helped me move my desks around and saved important documents and such on my computer. Wayne says we might actually get some help in the bookstore soon. I’ll try not to hold my breathe 😉 Well…I’m gonna go check on the girls and see if everyone is still breathing.

what a weekend!

where to start….how bout Friday. I got up at my usual time of 7:15 and went to work. After work I met Justin, Jennifer, Matt, and Brandy at Justin’s apartment. We all rode in Brandy’s NICE black passport to the Alabama concert in Charlotte. It poured off and on all the way there and stopped just as we pulled up to the Verizon Ampitheater. What a concert! So many great songs. Three hours worth. I’m not even a southern girl 😉 and I knew most of them. Then we headed to Waffle House where a waitress named Bonnie was being shouted at (drove me nuts!). Finally we headed home and I think I finally got in bed around 2am just to turn around and get up at 7:15. Yeah it was Saturday but I met my friend LeAnne at the bookstore to work on book returns all day. Then I drove to Brevard to my parents’ house for the night. Now my weekend is over and it’s time to start another week. Hope I survive! Justin and I are heading to the beach on Wednesday when I get off work to meet his family until Sunday. Someday this madness will end and I will definitely catch up on some much needed rest. Well I’m more or less testing this out. Sorry to bore you to death (not that anyone is reading this hehe) Time for bed! See ya!

Thank you Justin for setting this up for me. I love you!
