God Is Good

OMG! I have so much to tell you but since I have to be up early tomorrow, I'll have to give you the abridged version.

First- I got a car to drive while Sandy, my Jeep, is being worked on and it cost me all of $1. Yes, that's right, ONE DOLLAR! It belonged to my college roommate/friend who drove it up until a few months ago when she got married. It's in great shape and most importantly, it's paid for. God is good!

Second- I think I may have found a job! It's at a western ware clothing and boot boutique in Fredericksburg (I know - SO me, right?!). I've talked to the owner three times now and he seems very keen on hiring me, but he is admittedly hesitant to put me on the books because business is so slow. We talked this afternoon and I told him that I understood his situation and that he needed to do what was right for him, and that I would be appreciative of any hours that he could give me. Let's face it, something is better than nothing, and right now all I've got is nothing in the work department! Sooo, I'm going to work for him this Thursday just to "get my feet wet". Whew!

Third- Today I decided to apply as a substitute with Fredericksburg ISD. I'm thinking between Fredericksburg and Llano, surely I'll get some calls to sub. Even if this thing works out at the store, I know I won't be working there Monday-Friday, so there will be days that I can work elsewhere. That's where subbing comes in. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Fourth- I cooked supper tonight! You're probably like, "So, who cares? Everbody cooks." Well let me tell, not EVERYONE cooks. I never cooked until I moved to England. I never wanted to. For some reason I actually enjoyed it over there. I moved back two years ago and up until tonight, had not cooked a single thing since being back. For some reason I felt inspired to conjure up something yummy so I made this garlic and herb shrimp sautee with penne pasta. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but it was pretty much AMAZING!!! I think I'm going to cook more often. Not only did it taste good, but I really enjoyed cooking for my family. My mom and sister really seemed to like and I think they were impressed that "Sarah cooking supper" didn't translate into Hamburger Helper and canned greenbeans. Ha!

Well that's all for now. I've got an early start tomorrow. Take care and God bless. ♥
