The Dramatic Downlow: October 2006

Scriptures to Ponder

Do not let this book of the law depart from your mouth meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouth, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, so that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29 The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward apprearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:11

Sweetest Day

Last Saturday was Sweetest Day. To find out more about Sweetest Day, click here http://www.theromantic.com/sweetestday.htm

So anyway, The Suitor informed me that it was Sweetest Day the Thursday before. Which gave me time to get a card, get it in the mail, and he would get it ON Saturday. Well when he found out that evening that I got a card and he did not, he was rushed to try to figure something out. I also informed him that I would be in OKC at MrT's house on Saturday too.

He decided that he could get me a gift & a card and send it overnight for Saturday delivery. As to not let me out do him. He was so upset that he even told me about Sweetest Day. Then he could have gotten me a card & I would have not gotten him anything and then he would have something to hold over me, "Remember when YOU forgot about Sweetest Day?".

Well, Sat no delivery, Monday I was back home so FedEx, missed the Sat delivery portion of the Airbill. The Suitor had it re-routed to my house. But FedEx delivered it to Mr. T on Monday, picked it up and let it sit in there office until Wednesday. Well I was heading back out of town on Friday. So the Suitor called FedEx AGAIN, and had it re-re-routed to HIS house. So a week later, the package ends up full circle back to him and I opened up the semi dead flowers almost a week later at his place.

It was the thought that counted. What a great memory of our first Sweetest Day.

The joys of getting older

The boys & I are in OKC this weekend. We are going for a wedding and to visit some family & friends.

On the trip there, Cody wanted to pump gas, so I let him. Fun for him nice for me. So I will continue to take advantage of his services while he still enjoys doing them.

A Decade

WOW, a lot can happen in 10 years. I went to Tulsa for my 10 year high school reunion last weekend. It was ok. I saw 3 of my really close friends. Saw a lot of people that I had forgotten about and did not see some that I wanted to catch up with, oh well.

It was a little weird for The Suiter, who joined me. But he had a good time all in all. Minus the hotel room problems that we had.

Everyone kept saying how much I looked the same. Well they all looked the same too. Some had put on some weight, but I was amazed how 10 years had not changed most.

So here are 2 of my senior pictures - mind you I had my hair permed a week before pictures and then straightened again 3 weeks later before school started back up. So no one even saw me with permed hair.

Are you or did you go to your high school reunion? Who changed the most? You or someone else?
