Phillies Tonight!

Tonight my friend Angel and I are going to a Phillies game. This will be my first game for the season (that started at the end of March) and I am super excited about it!

I even woke up at 5:30 this morning and could not get back to sleep because I was so excited about it. I never even did that on Christmas morning as a kid, but here I am 29 and about to go to a Phillies game later that evening and I can't sleep because of the excitement!

That could account for me feeling very very tired and sluggish today. I don't know though because I spoke with several other people are feeling that way too, so it is not just me waking up 30 minutes before my alarm!

Anyway, I am going to wear my blue Chase Utley shirt and my shell toed Adidas to the game tonight. I was going to wear my red and white Nikes, but for some reason I changed my mind this morning. I think it was because my Adidas have some pink on them and I just love pink.

Oh! That reminds me of something completely off topic! This past weekend, I went to New Jersey and bought a new pink purse while I was on the boardwalk. It's nice. I like it.

Oh yeah...

Yeah, I think I forgot to say that my sister had her baby. It was a boy names Tealson Lukas born on February 22, 2008

9 lbs 3 oz
21 inches long
(BIG baby)

He was born with TONS of black hair.

Can't Remember

I really had something to write about when I decided to post something new, but now I can't think of what I wanted to post. So, instead, you are getting some pictures of my adorable nephew, Tealson Lukas. He is 2 months old and just getting cuter and cuter with age!

New Hair!

I can't believe I forgot to mention this!

I got my hair cut... SHORT. It's above my chin and really really cute. Actually, I modeled my haircut after Katie Holmes's hairstyle, so look her up to get an idea of what my hair looks like now. You'll just have to imagine her blonde until I am able to post a picture.

Ice Cream and the Bible

I had a rough morning at work.

I was extremely distracted by a situation and was unable to concentrate on my work, so I went to Friendly's at lunch to get ice cream and to read my Bible.

Galations is a really good and interesting book.

The ice cream I got was good too. I ended up getting Vienna Mocha Chunk, Chocolate Chip and PB Chunky Fudge with Marshmallow and Peanut Butter toppings. Trista would be so proud of me because it was not Vanilla with hot fudge or strawberry sauce.

Cooking

As my life is at the moment, the only time I am home to actually cook anything for dinner is Monday night. I don't know if it is the novelty of having a home cooked meal for those nights or what, but I've realized that I am one good cook. Seriously.

Two weeks ago, I make some rice, beans and an assortment of fresh vegetables sauteed with some olive oil and garlc. That meal was so good that I ended up eating everything and did not have leftovers. Not a good thing because I made enough to cover two meals.

Then this week I made a simple stir fry with vegetables and tofu and I can tell you that it was the best tofu I have had in a very long time! Actually, I don't know when I had better tofu. It was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. It was just really really good. I was able to make that meal last for 2 meals because I took the leftovers to work with me the next day.

I just wish I had more time to cook because I enjoy it so much!

The Relapse Is Over!

Okay. I think it is over. I finally have energy to do things! It's crazy. For the last couple months I was so tired that even talking to people and being friendly was more than I could handle. Keep in mind that I head up the welcome team for Epic and with that am in charge of making people feel welcome. Well, talking to people and being friendly actually scared me! Isn't that nuts?

Well, all of this to tell you that I think my relapse was over on Sunday because when I got to Epic, I started talking to EVERYONE I saw and identified new people and started conversations with them and introduced them to people. Then when the greeters didn't show up, I even went to the doors to take over. It was pretty crazy for me to see and experience the difference.

Honestly, I think another part that made me so willing to talk to people was that I was in a really good mood. I met someone new! It's nothing official yet, but we talk everynight for several hours. He is just great. His name is Jon and he is a teacher and best of all, he loves Jesus and it is so evident in the way he approaches life. Like I said, it's nothing official yet because we are taking it slow, but things are off to a good start.

Wow. I didn't really intend to write that.

Anyway, I am still limping around, but not so badly that I need to have my cane with me. The big part is that I have energy to walk around everywhere I go. It's nice to be able to move without restrictions. Praise God! I am just really feeling great right now.

Well, I better get back to work.
