updates on everything.....

Theres not a a whole lot new with me right now!!! Which can be good in a way.... I have been busy working and trying to make time to hang out with friends which at times can be hard. I am really trying to think of what is new.... I can't really think right now b/c I am tired and am starting to get a little headache. Speaking about headaches. I think I might still have lymes disease. I don't know for sure though. My muscles and joints have been achey. Thats all that I really can think of that is new.... until next time! I love you all my friends! Thanks for being my friend!

Prayer needed

Hey all!! As the title says my family needs prayer..... My uncle has not been feeling well for the last week or two. And this week he was admitted to the hospital. We are unsure of what actually has been going on, but we know he has some liver damage and will more than likely need a liver transplant. He has had a series of tests for the past few days he's been in the hospital. The good news about the liver transplant is that he has a semi-rare blood type, therefore, he will probably get a liver faster than most. It has been a little bit stressful on my family. Especially I think my step-dad b/c it is his brother. I will give updates as I get them! Thanks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECCA!!!!!

Happy Birthday Becca! Hope your day is awesome!!!! Also Happy Valentines Day Everyone!! Love ya all!!! Take care! It's just another day.... lol!

More updates....

Hey my lovely friends! I have been kinda busy and have not had a lot of time to post... I have been checking to see what is going on with all of you! I miss all of you!!!! I can't wait for summer so we can hang out more(hopefully).... I wish it had not snowed but hey I can't control the weather!!!! It makes me sad because I can't do everything that I want to do and need to do... but oh well.... it can wait.. My youth choir at my church(Sts. Peter and Paul) was suppose to sing tomorrow at 9 am and now b/c of the snow we are not singing.... so yeah... oh well.... shhtuff happens!! And then ya move on.. right? Work is going okk.... just been busy and a little pissed off.... The managers don't understand anything and it gets me upset.... I have to like split myself into like 10 different people(which by the way is impossible) to get all the things the ask me to do. I have to be putting stuff back which is like piled up to the wallazoo!!! I have to go on register for however long I need to be there and then a manager will ask "oh jen how's the recovery(close back on floor)?" I am finding out this job is a lose lose situation. I have to do so many things and nothing gets done especially when they tell me to go to another dept. and then bizitch at me for kids looking like crap! I am getting tired of it, but at the same time I like where I am and what I am doing for the most part...... Please just pray that managers won't be down my throat so much! I have cried once at work because I feel like it is not worth even doing anything b/c people will just mess it up right after you get done fixing it!!! And another time a manager yelled at me for not having gotten done alll the recovery! LIKE I AM SUPERWOMAN!!! I don't think so.... if you want it to get done YOU CAN'T KEEP ASKING PEOPLE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND EXPECT THE RECOVER TO GET DONE?!?! hELLO!! Ok sorry about that... Im frustrated with them.... well, I hope everyone is doing well!!! ttyl! Love ya!!!!!!

We'll be taking Blogger down on Wednesday the 25th at 4pm PST to fix a bit of a switch that's gone wonky on us. The outage should last about 15 minutes. Blogger.com and Blog*Spot blogs will be inaccessible during this time.This repair will fix the problem that caused the brief outage last Friday night. We're also using this down time as an opportunity to tune our databases for more efficient spam catching and deletion.

busy

Hey all! I have been a little busy. Sorry for not blogging much.. So yeah... things have been a little stressful at work. I think I have told some of you that this girl has been stealing from coworkers. Going into their lockers and taking money. Well, this happened to me twice! I was really pissed! Still am but what can I really do about it? I had told a manager both times. And the 2nd time it happened it was more money so one of the managers paged me and told me to come to the office and write a statement and so I did. This was on a Tuesday I think and then that Friday she tried to steal again from a co-worker. But someone came in and saw her and we now have a camera in the break room where all this was happening! So she got caught and got arrested and taken out of the store handcuffed. We eventually will get our money back. She has to pay us back(its her restitution) and if she doesn't then we individually have to take her to court. Also it has been stressful b/c of the managers keep getting down our throats about everything and they ask us to do things and then an hour later the page you and are like so hows your recovery(returns and crap) and they say oh what have you been doing the whole time?! So it's kind of a lose lose type of situation! Well, hope all of you are doing well!!

Happy New Years!!!!

Happy New Years to all of you!! Things have been really busy with work and doing family stuff!! I have been checking the blogs and all and now I am finally able to take a minute to write some stuff!! Well, Christmas did not feel like Christmas to me but it was and its gone till next year. I got to see a lot of family and friends.

We had our traditional Christmas dinners. On Christmas day we have Chinese Food and then we use to have Johns' Pizza for Christmas Eve dinner but now it is the day after Christmas because of all the kids in the family now who are in plays and what not. I sang at my church on Christmas Eve with the youth choir and we sounded pretty good! It was packed!!!! I have been in that choir for 8 years now! I am one of the "founding" members! The choir director is one of my family friends and I also work with her now at Kohls.

Kohls is starting to slow down but not for returns!!!! Returns are the craziest part at the moment! Things are going pretty well!! Sometimes I get sooo annoyed working there because of the managers. They don't know what they are doing and they screw everything up. And ya get yelled at for not doing something when they told you to do something else.... whatever!!

I got to see my grandmom and aunt on Christmas day and then I will get to see them again sometime soon because we have a family tradition of giving Barnes and Nobles(or for a while it was Borders in DE) gift cards and then we pick a day to go to DE and spend a while there and all. It is always fun and it is always great to see them! I also got to see my grandfather last Thursday. That is him up there!! He said he had to get me a drink for my birthday! so yeah! lol!

I miss hanging out with all of you and I hope to spend sometime with all of you! Love ya and can't wait to see ya! Have a happy New Year!

Making Pancakes

Making Pancakes
I got this from my friend Jessica, and decided to repost it because it's so good!Making PancakesSix -year-old Brandon decided one Saturday morning to fix his parentspancakes He found a big bowl and spoon, pulled a chair to the counter,opened the cupboard and pulled out the heavy flour canister, spilling iton the floor.He scooped some of the flour into the bowl with his hands, mixed inmost of a cup of milk and added some sugar, leaving a floury trail onthe floor which by now had a few tracks left by his kitten.Brandon was covered with flour and getting frustrated He wanted this tobe something very good for Mom and Dad, but it was getting very bad. Hedidn't know what to do next, whether to put it all into the oven or onthe stove and he didn't know how the stove worked!. Suddenly he saw hiskitten licking from the bowl of mix and reached to push her away,knocking the egg carton to the floor. Frantically he tried to clean upthis monumental mess but slipped on the eggs, getting his pajamas whiteand sticky.And just then he saw Dad standing at the door. Big crocodile tearswelled up in Brandon's eyes. All he'd wanted to do was something good,but he'd made a terrible mess. He was sure a scolding was coming, maybeeven a spanking. But his father just watched him.Then, walking through the mess, he picked up his crying son, hugged himand loved him, getting his own pajamas white and sticky in the process!That's how God deals with us. We try to do something good in life, butit turns into a mess. Our marriage gets all sticky or we insult afriend, or we can't stand our job, or our health goes sour.Sometimes we just stand there in tears because we can't think ofanything else to do. That's when God picks us up and loves us andforgives us, even though some of our mess gets all over Him.But just because we might mess up, we can't stop trying to "make pancakes" for God or for others. Sooner or later we'll get it right, andthen they'll be glad we tried...I was thinking. .. and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to behealed, friendships that need rekindling or three words needing to besaid. Sometimes, "I love you" can heal & bless! Remind every one of your friends that you love them. Even if you think they don't love back, you would be amazed at what those three little words, a smile, and a reminder like this can do.Just in case I haven't told you lately... I LOVE YOU!!!Please pass some of this love on to others....suppose one day youwere called to God; do all your friends know you love them?Send this to those you love. And never stop "making pancakes.""May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth." Psalm 115:15

Wow, I feel so bad not updating in such a long time!!!! I hope everyone is doing well!!!! I miss all of you!!! Things are going ok for me.. I got a BRAND NEW car!!!!!!!!! Thanks to my step-dad. It is a Honda Civic. The color is matellic greyish color... its pretty!! I love it!!! I really like working at Kohls.... I got hired at The Halloween Store but I am not going to work there for two reasons.... one being my step-brother knows the people who own the place and he found out that if you are under(doesn't matter how much) or over closing the drawer you get arrested..... I don't/can't have that happening to me... If anyone would like to know why just email me... Don't feel like getting into it.... And the other reason is also because my step-brother said he knows a lot of people that go into the hospital b/c of burn out once the store closes.... I need to be working but if I can endanger myself then I am not going to work there!!!! I don't really have that much else to say I hope you all are well! Love ya alls!!!

The Yellow T-shirt

The Yellow shirt The baggy yellow shirt had long sleeves, four extra-large pockets trimmed in black thread and snaps up the front. It was faded from years of wear, but still in decent shape. I found it in 1963 when I was home from college on Christmas break, rummaging through bags of clothes Mom intended to give away. "You're not taking that old thing, are you?" Mom said when she saw me packing the yellow shirt. "I wore that when I was pregnant with your brother in 1954!" "It's just the thing to wear over my clothes during art class, Mom. Thanks!" I slipped it into my suitcase before she could object. The yellow shirt be came a part of my college wardrobe. I loved it. After graduation, I wore the shirt the day I moved into my new apartment and on Saturday mornings when I cleaned. The next year, I married. When I became pregnant, I wore the yellow shirt during big-belly days. I missed Mom and the rest of my family, since we were in Colorado and they were in Illinois. But that shirt helped. I smiled, remembering that Mother had worn it when she was pregnant, 15 years earlier. That Christmas, mindful of the warm feelings the shirt had given me, I patched one elbow, wrapped it in holiday paper and sent it to Mom. When Mom wrote to thank me for her "real" gifts, she said the yellow shirt was lovely. She never mentioned it again. The next year, my husband, daughter and I stopped at Mom and Dad's to pick up some furniture. Days later, when we uncrated the kitchen table, I noticed something yellow taped to its bottom. The shirt! And so the pattern was set. On our next visit home, I secretly placed the shirt under Mom and Dad's mattress. I don't know how long it took for her to find it, but almost two years passed before I discovered it under the base of our living-room floor lamp. The yellow shirt was just what I needed now while refinishing furniture. The walnut stains added character. In 1975 my husband and I divorced. With my three children, I prepared to move back to Illinois. As I packed, a deep depression overtook me. I wondered if I could make it on my own. I wondered if I would find a job. I paged through the Bible, looking for comfort. In Ephesians, I read, "So use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy whenever he attacks, and when it is all over, you will be standing up." I tried to picture myself wearing God's armor, but all I saw was the stained yellow shirt. Slowly, it dawned on me. Wasn't my mother's love a piece of God's armor? My courage was renewed. Unpacking in our new home, I knew I had to get the shirt back to Mother. The next time I visited her, I tucked it in her bottom dresser drawer. Meanwhile, I found a good job at a radio station. A year later I discovered the yellow shirt hidden in a rag bag in my cleaning closet. Something new had been added. Embroidered in bright green across the breast pocket were the words "I BELONG TO PAT." Not to be outdone, I got out my own embroidery materials and added an apostrophe and seven more letters. Now the shirt proudly proclaimed, "I BELONG TO PAT'S MOTHER." But I didn't stop there. I zig-zagged all the frayed seams, then had a friend mail the shirt in a fancy box to Mom from Arlington, VA. We enclosed an official looking letter from "The Institute for the Destitute," announcing that she was the recipient of an award for good deeds. I would have given anything to see Mom's face whe! n she opened the box. But, of course, she never mentioned it. Two years later, in 1978, I remarried. The day of our wedding, Harold and I put our car in a friend's garage to avoid practical jokers. After the wedding, while my husband drove us to our honeymoon suite, I reached for a pillow in the car to rest my head. It felt lumpy. I unzipped the case and found, wrapped in wedding paper, the yellow shirt. Inside a pocket was a note: "Read John 14:27-29. I love you both, Mother." That night I paged through the Bible in a hotel room and found the verses: "I am leaving you with a gift: peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn't fragile like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid. Remember what I told you: I am going away, but I will come back to you again. If you really love me, you will be very happy for me, for now I can go to the Father, who is greater than I am. I have told you these things before they happen so that when they do, you will believe in me." The shirt was Mother's final gift. She had known for three months that she had terminal Lou Gehrig's disease. Mother died the following year at age 57. I was tempted to send the yellow shirt with her to her grave. But I'm glad I didn't, because it is a vivid reminder of the love-filled game she and I played for 16 years. Besides, my older daughter is in college now, majoring in art. And every art student needs a baggy yellow shirt with big pockets. You have 6 minutes.... There's some mighty fine advice in these words, even if you're not superstitious.

Prayer

Hey all! I need you to be praying for me! My car died last Friday. I had lunch with my mentor(through CrossRoads) and then I drove home and got their fine, but it didn't sound like it was suppose to. I was really worried and I didn't want to drive to Kohls in fear of it not getting there and all. So I asked my mom if she could take me.. thankfully she did b/c my step-dad drove it and got some fluid and it died on him. So now it is at the shop and the guy is calling around(mostly to junk yards and all) to try and get a part for my poor car :( If he is able to get part it could be around $600 or if he has to get it from a regular shop it could be up to $1000!!! So, if anyone knows anyone who selling a car for pretty cheap(like 500-800) in good condition, low milage and all, please let me know!!! I am able to use my mom's car till Sunday.... they are away, but I can only use it for work and going to Christ Community and that's it. Hope everyone is doing well! Love ya all!!!
