Today's Randomness

I can't believe that it's been two weeks since I've written a blog. I'm surprised some of you haven't said anything to me on MySpace! By the way, if you're not my MySpace friend and you'd like to be, you can find me at www.myspace.com/sparkles12780

So, first off....the election. As I sit here and watch the Oprah Show and see Will Smith and Oprah talk about how happy they are about Obama being the President-Elect, I wonder...what is happening to our country? I'll be the first one to admit that I don't like watching politics on TV or even talking about politics, but this is very disturbing to me. I feel that Obama is going to lead us in the wrong direction. My mom, who is all for Obama, was telling me that "Change is what we need." I guess we'll just have to wait and see......

I can't believe that I'm only 8 days away from being on a plane to CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!! How ironic is it that just last week at small group we were talking about things on our "Bucket List." This trip is going to be amazing. I wish every one of my friends could go with Missy and I. You know what they say....the more, the merrier. This trip includes so many things on my bucket list...like going to California. One of my life long dreams is to go to The Price is Right and see Hollywood. I'm still in shock that we are actually leaving next week!

Many of you, at church have been asking me how my job has been going. You may recall my very first blog was about feeling like there was a target over my head. Work is going better, but it still gets on my nerves. I'm just trying to be thankful for what I have, even though I can't get it done my way sometimes.

PLEASE join the Smith Small Group after the spaghetti luncheon on Sunday afternoon to watch the movie, Bucket List. This ties into our current series so well....30 days to Live. I've been thinking a lot lately about how I need to live my life differently and "live in the moment."

Lastly, I would like all your prayers and support during this next week. I know that most of you don't know the story behind my divorce, but my husband gets out of Prison on Tuesday, November 11th. I am very worried about this. He knows my address and I don't know if he will come here to contact me. The police tell me that I can't get a restraining order unless he threatens or harms me in any way...so I'm going to be worried about that. Also, on Wednesday, November 12th I have my divorce hearing. I tried to get this hearing taken care of while he was in prison, but things happened and all of it changed. I just hope and pray that everything goes smoothly and I do okay when I see my husband at the hearing on Wednesday.

I'm going to try to write blogs more often so that I don't have 50 different topics in one blog. I'm sure ya'll are just happy to hear from me.

Until Next Time......
