Tis The Season

It is snowing today.  A lot.  And its not the nice snow of Minnesota.  Its the crappy windy snow of South Dakota.  ahh . . yes . . how quickly I forget.

It may be a tough day at the Shoppe.

Fortunately, I brought projects to do and I also decided it would be a good time to listen to some Greg Boyd sermons online since THE PLACE IS VACANT.  Sheesh.

During one of his sermons, he shows a clip from Conan O'Brien.  I love this clip.

It is amazing to me how impatient I can be.

Thanksgiving is next week (or in my case, Christmas with the in-laws) and I find myself being more in tune with all that I have to be thankful for.

Like windy crappy snow. :)

Today we are celebrating Thanksgiving with my family.  I am in charge of the green bean casserole.  Is it a problem that I work until 3pm today and dinner is at 5pm at the farm AND I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHEN I WILL GET THE CASSEROLE DONE?  Blasted holidays.  But how thankful I am to have family to celebrate with.

I am starting to like my little house better.  I think I finally found my groove somehow and started to "nest".  It feels nice.  I think moving 3 times in 6 months (and big moves at that) drained me more than I could have anticipated.  But, I am determined to make this house a home for however long we may stay there.  AND I love it so much more because of that.

My Jeep is broken down near my parent's place.  Lovely.  Boyd knew the brakes were going to fail soon but told me to keep driving it until it no longer allowed me to.  I personally don't care for this type of tactic and told him so.  I find it a small triumph that it failed 30 minutes away and we are now in a blizzard. Ha!  Fix it now in the WET COLD SNOW.  :) I am the best wife ever.  BUT . . how thankful I am that I have a vehicle.

I should go.  Not because there are shoppers to tend to but I have run out of things to say.

Have a nice weekend.

I have a hard time

I have a hard time writing posts when times are dark.  I know there is much to be thankful for. I do.  Trust me . .  I chant them to myself frequently.  I just don't like to post frustrations, disappointments, etc on the world wide web - - after all - - I try my best to make this blog as shallow and flakey as possible.  I MUST MARCH ONWARD WITH THIS LOFTY GOAL.

No. I have not posted in awhile.  I forgot all about Mr. Blog.

Our long-time family friends, the Taschners, had a terrible accident in their family a couple of weeks ago.  Their son, Tyler, was hit by a tree while hunting in a deer stand.  He has a serious spinal injury.  BLAH.  Such a lovely family.  Such a terrible tragedy.

Umm . . . . in other news . . . .

We finally got renters to sign a lease for our White Bear Lake home.  Which is good.  But then all I have heard is complaints from them . . . and they haven't even moved in yet.  Ugh.  I feel like burying my head in the sand.

And you know what?  I KNOW THIS IS A SILLY LITTLE PROBLEM!  For some reason, its not helping my attitude.  I think I take it too personally.  I lived in that house for 10 years and I LOVED that house.   If you don't like it . . . THEN DON'T MOVE IN IT!  Sheesh.

Now watch . . . somehow they will find this little blog.  Oh well.

Shannon hosted a memorial dinner in honor of Ryan this past weekend.  I think that made me sad too.

Too much hurt in the world.

See? I can't even think of something to make fun of!

Where is my pizza that I ordered?  I'm starving.  Godfathers is going to get some hate rays soon.  I'm completely irrational right now.

I promise I won't write again until I have "TURNED THAT FROWN UPSIDE DOWN!"

Adios -
