Reading the latest post makes this view # 263.

I love me. Let's see how many of you do too.

This is lame

Ok so I'm checking out my blog and I see that I am "Visitor" # 245 or 6
I'm blogging that fact because I want to check it out again next time to see if has incresed

Man I need a girlfriend

New Opportunities

I went to a job fair today. It was for SC Federal Credit Union.

I'm hoping to get a job in their contact center. That's close to what I've been doing for 9 years now.

Pray for me y'all.

Sleepless In Seat

Ok I'm on the other side of the country from Seattle, so I'm not sleepless there, but I am sleepless in my seat in front of my computer.

Just two quick notes. For those that read this before January 29 at 5:00 PM or so, I'm going to a job fair then so please be in prayer for me.

Next note, Duncan Hunter had been my early first choice for the Republican primary. He wasn't doing well usually getting less than 5%. I changed over to Mike Huckabee [I guess you could tell that looking at my sidebar]

Hunter had to drop out due to low polling. He has however thrown his support over to Mike Huckabee.

I'm glad to hear that. Now, I just need to quit playing on my Blog and go to bed.

God has a wonderful sense of humor. Right after I posted a link [see post below] to a video about a wonderful Godly woman at my church, I found this on You Tube which I am still laughing about

Click, it's funny.

Oh What a Lady

I am so single that I'm dating myself.
I have been turned down by women I never asked out.
I can't get a date from a calander

That said, I submit this video to you. A video of a lady from my church She is the wife of our Associate Pastor Billy Hornsby

She has cancer. I want you to think of this word for a moment. She has CANcer, not CANTcer. Forgive the pun, but there's something about this gracious lady's attitude that makes it true.

I couldnt' find a way to save it to post it here, so please click the link below.

Please watch.

Too Good

I got this from Reader's Digest

A pharmacist enters his drug store to see a man leaning against the wall inside looking very stessed. He asks his clerk "What's up with him?"

"Him? Oh, he came in with a bad cough. We're out of cough remedy so I gave him a laxative."

"A laxative? How dare you give him a laxative? Laxatives don't cure a cough!!"

"I know, but now he's afraid to cough."

Just one thought

Before I go to bed, I'll leave anyone who reads this just one thought:

If the Former First Broad gets elected...I'm gonna scream!

This woman makes me ill. She is a pandering buffoon [buffoonette??] that thinks she needs to play Auntie Hillary to all the little drooling idiots that can't or won't try to add 2 + 2 to come up with 4

In other words, she thinks that somehow everyone in the world needs for her to do things for them.

WELL I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP WOMAN! Just get out of my way and let me do it!

This airhead can't tell the difference between the Constituion and Constipation.

Random Thoughts

Ok after the rant below about Hollywood, here's some totally random thoughts to end the night before I start headin' for my bedin'

New Maxim To Live By:

With Friends Like You, Who Needs Enemas?

I think that MUSC should start a brand new field of medicine.

Proctyatry: It's half Proctology and half Psychiatry. Most of you know someone who needs this.

So What???

Heath Ledger died this week. So big bleeping deal what?

I know that's mean. Our local paper carried that story where it belongs, on page 2.
On the front page was a story about a 7 year old girl that was murdered.

To me, that is sadder than any Hollyweird idiot.

You see, this girl was murdered in September. She was left home alone by her 22 year old mother [do that math on that 22-7=15]This child/mother left the house late at night with a man that she knew because the poor baby had one serious nicotine fit and had to get some fresh cancer sticks. They left this kid alone.

ALONE??? Who does something like that?????

When they got back, there were mysterious bloody handprints on the wall, and the kid was dead and had been wrapped up in a blanket.

Now, I'm not going to use this forum to speculate on the obvious whoduntit aspects of this situation

I'll say this though. Why is our culture so fixated like a dog looking at its dinner plate before it's put in front him, with Hollywood?

I know, I know actors are bright and shiney but forget those screwed up idiots.
In your community, no matter where you read this from, there are children being killed.

I am reminded of what Pastor Greg Surratt once taught about prayer.

There are three types of prayer he said:
"Oh God, oh God, oh God"
"Help!"
and
"OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD HEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!"

I suggest that with a 7 year old being murdered by an "unknown" suspect while her child/mother was out with a "friend" getting help with her cancer goals, it's time we lean towards the 3rd type.

My Place????

Romans 12:4-5 says:

Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

I like that. We're all different parts of the same body. What part do you want to be?
An ear? So you can hear the cries of others?
An eye? So you can see those in need?
A foot so you can kick the devil out of others? [OK sorry about that one]

I want to be...are you ready for this? I want to be an opposeable thumb!
That's right. I want to be an opposeable thumb. Partially because I'm kind of built like one anyway...short and um let's say squat.

Also, think about what the thumb does.

Thumbs Up: Means GOOD JOB
Thumbs Down: Means BAD JOB
Thumbs Out: GIVE ME A RIDE

Also, just try to button your shirt without a thumb. Thumbs are overlooked and underappreciated. But, they're their when you need them.

I want to be a THUMB!!!

Oh Well

So my boy The Huck Man lost today.
But, it wasn't by much.

So, John McCain. You may have won the SC State Title, but next time The Huck is coming after you and he will win THE U.S. REPUBLICAN NOMINATION!!! WHOOO!!!

Oh sorry. Ric Flair is fellow a Huck-A-Maniac so I got just a little carried away.

I'm still leaving the links for The Huck Man on my site because I want to. So there.
:-)

Quiet Day

I've been sick lately so I didn't do much for my 39th. Dad was going to be out of town so I was going to Steak Out around noon today, get a ribeye and a baked potato or fries and bring it back home, then maybe wings later tonight.

With the rain today, dad decided not to go out so he took me to Texas Roadhouse. I had a ribeye and a baked potato anyway.

On another note, I've tried to commit to being more respectful this year. When dad said grace he actualy thanked God for bringing me into his life.

I am so grateful. You see dear reader, I was adopted as a baby. I am chosen. I love the whole idea of adoption. The idea that a loving man and woman, chose to go get a child from someone that could not raise one. I know I'm oversimplfing the process, but I'm a blogger, not a lawyer.

Lord, thank You for the loving choice that my birth mother and/or father made to give me away. Thank You more that mom and dad picked me.

In Jesus Name,
Amen!

Done

I just voted.

GO HUCK!!!!

Wow. I Feel Like Jack Benny

For a brief time, I watched reruns of The Jack Benny Show on late night cable. One of his most popular jokes was that no matter how old he was, he'd claim
"I'm only 39".

Well today I am 39. I'm OK with that. Dad's gonna take me out to dinner later and then I'll decide what to do for later. I'm still a little sick so I won't make it to church tonight since I don't want to give this to the kids.

I'm trying to decide between Breck's [a local steakhouse] and Northtowne [Greek food]

I'll probably do the steak though.

Later tonight. WINGS!!!!!

A quick trip to B&N during their 3 for 2 DVD sale and get Alias Season 1, then I'll choose another couple. Possibly something with Jimmy Cagney.

Boring? Well maybe to you, but this is me. So there!

Oh Where Oh Where

Tomorrow's my birthday. Dad'll be out of town so I'm on my own [accept for friends after church maybe]

BUT I'M GONNA GO OUT!!!!

I just need to decide where:

Hmmm Breck's for a steak

Northtowne for some Lamb Kabobs

McDonalds [just kidding]

I'll decide later.

My Man for the Job

I Have Decided

On Saturday, January 19th 2008 I'll turn 39 AND I'll vote in the South Carolina Republican Primary. I have decided on voting for Mike Huckabee.

I like his Conservative values. I like his Christian background. I like his name [I call him Huck] I like those that have endorsed him:

Local councilman Tim Scott
Chuck "Total Gym" Norris
Adam Baldwin
and THE NATURE BOY RIC FLAIR!!!! WHOOO


On a separate note, I've added my picture to the blog. Yes single women everywhere that is me. Aren't I sexy? Aren't I MONDO-cute? Aren't I handsome?

All that and humble too.

Bossy Boots

I just read a my friend Lori's blog. She talks about her nieces and nephews and the fact that one more just got added to her brood.

I've one niece, her name is Sarah and she's 9. My sister and her husband have thus far not given me any others, but they're selfish like that. Anyway, Sarah---or as I call her Bossy Boots, is a wonderful child.

Two stories:

I used to enjoy playing a silly game with her. I'd tell her that I loved her more than something, and she'd tell me she loved me more than something else. For example, I might say "I love you more than ice cream" and she might reply "I love you more than cake."

Once she completely got me. I told her that I loved her more than ice cream [candy, cake, pizza whatever it was] and she said "I love you more than I love myself"

Oh man! She got me!. How do you respond to a 4 or 5 year old saying that?

One more:

About 2 years ago my sister and their family were robbed in their own home. Two guys knocked on the door, Gary--my brother in law answered, and a guy talked to him about the for sale sign in the front yard, while the other stayed in the yard.

Within a few moments, the one pulled a gun and shot Gary in the arm [he was going for the chest, but Gary reacted and hit the gun arm just in time thank God]

They proceeded to tie everyone up with tape and rob them.

That was October 2005. On Christmas Eve that same year, Sarah wanted me to help her track Santa on the web. When I found out that he was in Canada, I told her she had plenty of time.

She wanted to send Santa an email. I wrote it while she dictated. She asked for a toy or two, but then she asked Santa to pray for her family, especially her daddy who'd been hurt.

Unky Roggie, almost lost it. I still come to close to losing it when I think of it.

Election Commercials

If I hear The Former First Broad's annoying messages ONE MORE TIME!!! I'm gonna barf!!!

Ahh Vacation, Ahhh Chooo!!!

Dr. told me that I should take time off. I work in a call center so I'm talking on the phone all day to customers. I also have a mild case of bronchitis. So as I talk to customers, I start coughing and have to use my mute button.

So I'm taking some time off from work, heck they're going to lay me off in May anyway so I'm not feeling overly loyal.

I just hope I'm better by Saturday, that's my 39th birthday and I'd hate to be sick for that.

More Good News / Bad News

Bad News: I've bronchitus

Good News: I am taking time off from work

Bad News: I went to the North Charleston Barnes and Noble yesterday, and found that Audry [the hottie sales clerk I've been talking to] is married. I should have seen that doorknob sized ring on her finger earlier.

Good News: While there I bought the 2nd season of Prison Break and To Kill A Mockingbird both on DVD and the latest Batman comic boo...I mean graphic novel.

Bad News: I'm short

Good News: My birthday is Saturday

Bad News: I'm still girlfriendless

Good News: I have bronchitus so even if I had one, I couldn't kiss her anyway.

So it all balances out.

So Proud of Myself

I've been coughing a lot and had major sinus blockage as well as a sore throat.
So today, I went to the doctor's office and had a chest x-ray.

The good news is that my chest x-ray revealed that I have one.

The bad news is that I've bronchitis.

We'll see how I'm doing as time goes on Super Rog Fans

Snow White's 8thDwarf

Ok Snow White had:
Sneezy
Grumpy
Doc
Dopey
Happy
Basheful
and Sleepy

I've had a cold for about a week now. A lot of chest congestion, I feel like Snow's
8th dwarf: Coughy

Elections

We're one week away from January 19th. On Jan. 19th, I'll do two things:

I'll vote in the SC Republican Primary
and
I'll turn 39

As for the primary, I'm still torn between Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee. I lean towards Huck, because of his Christian values, I lean towards Paul, because he's pretty much a Libertarian.

I'll probably go for Huck, because polls show he's the better chance right now.

On being 39. I'll wait till it happens before I say anything.

Being Chosen

I just found out that some friends from church may be considering adopting. They've three great kids already [just click on the link].

As an adoptee I want to chime in on subject. I love adoption. I was chosen at three days old. Likewise God has chosen us. We can simply ask for His forgiveness of our sins through His Son who died for us.

Then we are adopted by God.

I know that's a bit of an oversimplification of the Gospel, but the Gospel is simple
We mess up, Jesus loves us anyway.

I'm a leader now. So where're we going?

At my church I became a table/small group leader in our singles ministry. I'm not a "natural leader" but, I also know that it's finally time that I get my butt out of my comfort zone, so I need to rely on God and not me.

Someone once said "God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called." I like that. I need Him to do that.

*************************************************************************************
On another note, I'm home sick today. I started getting a cold a week or so ago and I left work yesterday. I kept putting customers on hold so I could cough, so I arranged to leave after lunch, and to take today off. I hope I can make it back tomorrow.

Cough cough

I've a minor chest cold and it's causing me to cough so much my sides hurt.

Maybe it'll help me lose weight.

Call Center Humor

I work in a call center, that has outsourced to India. I thought this was great.

Mustaffa applied for a job at a call center for an Amercian company that had outsourced to New Delhi. After taking and passing the tests and the interviews he went into the office for one final interview and test.

"Mustaffa, in order to work here, you must pass one final test. Use the words yellow, pink and green in a sentence."

Mustaffa thought for a moment and said "When the phone goes 'green, green' I pink it up, and say 'Yellow, this is Mustaffa'"

Ha!!!

Thought for the day
