Jinx

I called my dad at noonish today and announced that we had not had rain in Texas for two whole days. And then it proceeded to get dark and yucky and rain like crazy this afternoon.

Despite the rain we did get a lot done today. I was able to clean up my kitchen and I have decided that my stove and dishwasher need to go. I'm going to talk to housing about the appliance issues I've been having and see what I can do.

I also hired someone to cut the grass! He's going to do my neighbors yard too and he'll come every two weeks --- grass doesn't grow so much in the summer in Texas. :) We got him to cut a deal since we're neighbors and he only has to come out once to do two jobs.

And I ran some errands and had dinner with my neighbor Kristen tonight. She is really sweet and I'm hoping we can become friends. It was nice to have adult conversation!

No pictures today yet but I'm planning on organizing my closet after the pooh goes to bed so you may get a peek at my bedroom and closet but I make no promises.

And I instant messaged with our fav. soldier today and he reports nothing new which is good. Continue to pray for peace and resolution to this mess so all our soldiers can come home.

Speaking of soldiers I'm going to end with a cool quote that I saw yesterday:

There are only two people who agreed to give up their lives for you. The first is Jesus Christ who died for your sins and to give you eternal live and the second is the American Soldier who is willing to die for your freedom here on earth.
