Today I will be going to a Pre Thanksgiving Dinner party. I am super excited, but also nervous as there will be 26 people there and I only know the person that invited me. You might be surprised when I say this (or maybe you won't depending on how well you know me) since I am very loud and mostly out there, but I don’t do well with new people. Making friends is kind of a painful experience for me. Most of my friends have been relationships that are at least 6 years old. I think I lost that communication skill when I was a slave at Arby’s for two years and I had no outside communication except for the people coming to my drive thru window. I don’t consider asking people what kind of sauce they need aiding in my communication skills. I just never know what to say. Also, I really don’t like small talk. That’s torture for me. I’m still really excited for tonight. Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite dinner of the whole year, and I get it twice this year. J
A VERY pregnant woman just came into the office and dropped off a very glittery purple basket full of pens, sticky pads (which are very cute and I will be taking home), hand sanitizer and most importantly CHOCOLATE. This is what I like most about working here. Yes, I have a great time laughing with my boss and I get free chiropractic care, but the best perk is all the free chocolate that I get because lawyers offices and x-ray centers drop off goodie baskets ALL THE TIME, seriously at least once a week, and Doc doesn’t have any use for the contents of all these baskets and won’t eat chocolate (we have dubbed him the food Nazi) so I gain from his loss.
My weekend’s going to be crazy, but I love being busy. Tomorrow I have to meet my sister at day care at to get the car seats. I have to be at work by and work until 1:45. Then I get to skype my best amigo Luke. There’s been so many great things happening at Bethel
My twin is taking me to see Bon Iver for my Christmas present. I am so stoked! I’ve been listening to Christmas music for the last 1.5 weeks now. That’s not that bad though, my coworker’s son has had his room set up like Santa’s Village for well over a month now. She says, “I gave birth to an elf.” I think it’s fantastic. This morning before work I stopped at Starbucks for my poison and saw a cop walking around the parking lot and inspecting tags on cars and he ended up writing a ticket for some lazy soul. I couldn’t help but chuckle; some people have all the luck? My boss’s wife has been driving on expired tags for well over a year now and has never been caught and this persons tag just expired last month. Hopefully I never get pulled over. I’m too broke to afford car insurance this month: “Rachyl Auto, driving illegal for free.” It’s my new slogan. I think I’m going to make up a business card and hand it to the police officer. Alyssa said I would probably get away with it because the cop would think I’m cute and funny. Let’s just hope it’s not a woman, they’re mean. J
Money has been tight this whole year since I’ve only been working one part time job, now I’m working two part time jobs, but I have the added expense of a car so there goes all the money from Charming Charlie. I’ve been wracking my brain trying to come up with ways to make more money and even trying to convince The Lord that he wanted me to have a full time job and more money. Yesterday during my quiet time He reminded me of a prayer that I prayed a few years back basically saying that I never wanted more then I needed and that I wanted to always have to rely on Him, not myself. Isn’t it nice how He answers our prayers? Yes. I realized that my mentality of always having to provide for myself equates to nothing more then I do not trust the only one who could truly provide for me. This was a tough pill to swallow. Even though I have made less then 10K this year, I have always had food to eat, a roof over my head and transportation to work. For this I am thankful. All I can do is trust; it’s the simplest, yet hardest thing to do.
