Also a non-April Fool's zone

So I get back from lunch, casually load my friends page, and see that Shana and Phillip are engaged!!! Congratulations, guys! It's about time! Though, Phillip, you could have chosen a day when everyone was less wary. :D Yes...one by one, the LJ girls I pray for weekly are finding great men. Prayer is powerful. Hang in there, girls. :)

So far, today is a better day. Yesterday got increasingly worse, work-wise. By 5:00 I was practically in tears of frustration. I went home and talked at length with Kathy, and then went to band practice. I'm so thankful that I can play, because there's nothing like a good music practice to calm and cleanse you inside. I felt much better. On the way home I called my dad for advice, and he assured me that things would be okay. So today's resolution is to do the best job I can, and leave it at that. Sometimes God reminds me that I can't do anything by my own strength. I think yesterday was one of those reminders..

It's official: I'm not tutoring Yolanda anymore. :( Her mother was displeased with her last report card and blamed Streets (not her or the school) for not teaching her well enough. So she's pulled her out of the program. Logic, anyone? I gave them the okay to match me with another kid. They do need tutors badly, and I can't just give up because things aren't working out. I'm applying my Ezra Principle.

Tonight one of my favorite Friends episodes is on! And the 10:30 one will be good, too. Last night's was the first episode of Season 2, when Rachel goes to get Ross at the airport and he gets off the plane with Julie. I discovered to my chagrin that I have almost the entire episode memorized. Anyway, I also get to be with Evan! I feel like I've hardly seen him at all, since we were apart all weekend and he's been busy this week. Yay for quality time.

I learned not long ago that my parents became engaged on April Fool's Day as well.;-) I think my dad gave my mom one of those plastic rings in a bubble from a vending machine. (She DID get a real one later.)

You're such a doll! ;)

You pray for me! You really pray for me!

Hee hee hee.... What would I do without friends like you? By the way, I workout most evenings to the CD you burnt for me!!! :) You're the best!

Of course I do! And as people start dating/get engaged, I add new people to the list. So I figure I'm praying myself right out of a list. :) It's great to see prayers answered. Not that I have anything to do with it, but it's nice to participate. :)

Yay, I'm glad you still like that CD!

Ahhhh.... you're just too good to be true. No wonder Evan wont let you go! ;)

Yes, I LOOOOVE the CD. :)

Maybe we should be praying for the lj BOYS, as well, Miss Brenda? Hmmmmm? ;o)

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

:) Yeah, I know. I should be praying for my real-life guy friends, too. I guess I'm more prone to pray for my girl friends since I understand their situation. Girls are in more of a hurry. Guys can get married any old time. :)

Balming everybody butoneself (or kids) is such a coppout and it's not solving the poor education we have in this country... this city even! I think ti's the attitudes of parents like that that is the whole trouble with the memphis school system. It's attitudes like that as to why I'm steadily employed.

As for friends, Walmart has in their $5.50 bin DVDs of the 5 best episodes of each season.

I agree.

Yeah, Kathy has them, so I've been watching them a little at a time. :)
