Things on my mind!

First off, may I recommend a blog to you?

Check it out for yourself, but I think Kristen Howard is my new hero, and she's totally inspiring me to bake and share pies with the world.  I love everything that she has to say.  That being said, I've decided to put that on my to do list- bake more pies and give them away!

Church is refreshing and the simple reminder that God is in control is ultimate peace, but a piece of pie wouldn't hurt.  :)

I contacted my old boss from Hickory Farms.  They have gone CORPORATE.  I don't have any feelings about this, but am excited to hear that the pay might be a little better.  Last year I am sure I gained 10 pounds with all the extra cheese, sausage and melt away mints that I sampled in between passing out samples.  I'm happy they are willing to take me back! I worked there last season and more than a decade ago when I was maybe 19 or 20.  So I applied again and have a good recommendation.  It's crazy to think about but October/November will be here before I know it, so I'm planning ahead.  Praying I have continued work and can work there for extra cash flow. 

I've decided that making my bed every day and taking the time to look a little nicer are well worth it.  And for the first time in my life I have an array of wonderful perfumes to wear and lotions.  The other day a young girl looked at me and complimented me- "You smell good."  Here's the thing- perfume has always been a luxury, but someone very kind gave me about two years worth of fantastic perfumes.  It felt like Christmas, and I am enjoying smelling good.  It feels wonderfully feminine and sweet. 

Lastly, the sun is making my hair grow! It's getting long and I don't have the money to cut or deal with it.  But my messy French braid is the easiest style for staying cool!

Happy August folks! Some of my favorite people in the world were born this month! Roar, Lions, Roar!
