Random Monday Musings

Well, another Monday morning is here. I have to admit, I'm not really feeling being at work today. But that's pretty typical for every Monday morning. I have a few random things to post about today. Nothing spectacular. So get ready for major randomness...

First off- I have been stalking this car at Publix. It is always there when I go. I really want to know where they got this sticker. Granted, it was ruined by the big ugly "G" on it, but still, I would like to see this sticker in a nice orange and blue ;-) Maybe one day I will run into the owner in the parking lot and ask where they got it. And I know I probably looked half crazy taking this picture, but I didn't really care. That's how I roll...speaking of which, my Gators did get rolled by Alabama this weekend. It sucked, but I was expecting it. I can't complain getting beat by a good program and I guess I have to give Bama props on that one, as much as I hate to.

And speaking of football, I find myself in quite a pickle. I am trying to decide what to do about an upcoming game.

Stacey and I have been planning on going to the AU vs UF game in Auburn for sometime. We have our rooms and tailgate situation all worked out. Unfortunately it is the same weekend as this:

The Historical Society's annual fundraising dinner is that same weekend. They were so generous to offer me and a guest to attend complimentary in consideration for all of my work at the Museum. As you can see, the dinner is at a very beautiful, historic home that was built in 1902. So I am really bummed that it is the same weekend as the big game. The board at the Historical Society have been so very generous and supportive towards me throughout my whole divorce ordeal. It was truly a blessing to have worked with such wonderful, caring people who took care of me at the lowest point in my life. I am still sad that I no longer work there and would love to get to see everyone and catch up with them. So... decisions, decisions. Guess I need to get to deciding what to do, since they need my RSVP!

I had a good laugh yesterday over this:

Potatoes are a major weakness of mine and I had a major craving yesterday for some french fries. When I pulled up to order, I noticed a few new desserts featuring a favorite of Stacey's---Bananas!! Ok, I admit it. Stacey HATES bananas. So I spent $2 on a prank hoping I could get her to take a big bite out of the pie thinking it was pineapple or something. However, my prank didn't go off as planned because before I even opened the bag to give Stacey her special "treat" she asked me "why do I smell bananas?" No fooling that girl or her nose. I did try to force feed her, but that proved a futile attempt. I did try it myself though. Yeah, not a big fan of a nasty banana pie. It would be good, I guess, if bananas were really your thing. I just couldn't get past the mushy banana filling in the middle. Gross.

Moving on along in my randomness...

I really need to work on my game face. I wear my emotions on my face and it gives me away every time. I don't know what it is about Sundays, but they really get to me. I guess its because Sunday was the one day that Joseph and I spent all day together. We would get up, cook breakfast together, go to church, grab lunch, and then hang out all day. I feel alone and divorced the other 6 days out of the week, but Sundays always bring it home. Our Sunday school class is a class devoted to newlyweds and working on the marriage relationship and sitting in a room full of couples next to an empty seat where your husband should be sitting isn't the best feeling in the world. Guess I should change classes, but I love my class, so I'm kinda stuck. And yesterday, just really had me bummed out by the time I got to church. It's a lonely feeling sitting on a pew all by yourself. (and I probably just bummed everyone out with all this, but welcome to divorce. Sorry!) A sweet lady that I had never met before approached me before service. I think she just wanted to sell me some Mary Kay crap at first, but we got to talking. She said when she passed by me that she could tell something was on my mind. So, she felt led to come talk to me. She gave me a few hugs and some encouragement. Later during the service she brings me this:

It truly warmed my heart with her outpouring of love to a complete stranger. It reminded me that is what a church family is all about. To lift each other up, encourage them, and just love them. So, I had a very nice rest of the service with a smile on my face. (it might also been due to the fact that she was amazed that I was 30! haha)

Okay, I told you this was a random post. Cotton stickers, banana pies, weekend plan dilemmas, and church family. Yeah, that's about as random as you can get.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
