WEDNESDAY RECAP

Just felt like writing a bunch of randoms today....no specific topic.

Yesterday was Wednesday and it was really busy. Usually that's the day at work that we get a little peace a quiet....but not yesterday. I have mixed feelings about busy days. On one end, I love them because it makes the day fly by and I really enjoy our customers; however, on the other end...it can make me crazy because there is no time to finish anything...just start a bunch of things that will have to be followed up on later. I like to complete tasks ...not leave them hanging. Yesterday afternoon was so crazy that I thought...if my phone rings one more time ..I may just pull it out of the wall. (I wouldn't really...but the thought crossed my mind :)

I haven't been super hungry at all lately. I think it can be due to one of two things:
#1. STRESS
or
#2. God finally answered my prayer of "Please make me not hungry and not like food anymore. (haha)

Either way...NO APPETITE. That is until yesterday. Someone at the office brought in ribs that her husband smoked.....and OMGosh, they were amazing! Some of the best ribs I've ever eaten. Apparently he has a smoker trailer and does this a lot. I'm officailly getting on his list to get my Thanksgiving Turkey smoked...He does this as well...and when I found out about that...I wanted to get signed up immediatly. Thanksgiving Turkey's freak me out...becasue I'm always scared I'm going to mess it up. I joked yesterday with a friend and told her, "I'm not afraid of very many things in the kitchen…..but Thomas THE Turkey is one that I don’t like. I’m always scared to ruin the biggest part of the thanksgiving meal…and you know people talk about your turkey skills (it was too dry..it had no flavor…Heck I do…if I don’t’ like it.) Heaven forbid I not cook it all the way or it be frozen still and everyone break a tooth or die of food poisoning." A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I may never have to cook a thanksgiving turkey!

After work, I picked Yogi up from the groomer. Logan called and said he had to work late and couldn't get to him in time. I got Logan's truck because there is no way I'd attempt to put Yogi in my car. When I got him he looked so nice and clean. They shaved our Polar Bear for the summer and he looked more like a white lab than a white Golden Retreiver! I walked him out to the truck and all of a sudden remembered that Yogi won't jump in the back ...he will only jump down. Logan always has to lift him up there. I looked at Yogi and then glanced down at myself (wearing a strapless maxi dress, wedges)...and thought well I guess we will just have to do this anyways; despite my attire. So I put his giant feet up on the tailgate and began to try to lift him into the truck. Needless to say it didnt work .I couldnt even get his feet off the ground (HE IS THAT HEAVY..NO LIE) I used all my stength and couldnt do it. I really didn't have a solution except to just keep trying. Finally a lady in the parking lot said she'd help me. She was much more masculine and looked like she could snap me and Yogi in half. She got the job done...and I of course was quite grateful. I can only imagine what her thought was in her head looking at me baby talking this Moose of a dog into the back of the truck. Oh well....at least I'm not still standing there.

We ended the day by going to our friends house for dinner. I was exhausted and it was perfect to just sit a relax. I love going to Mary and James'. Mary won't let you lift a finger and you'll lose an arm if you try to help clean up. She is the sweetest hostess and a wonderful cook. She made the perfect summer meal and we stayed over way to late talking (as always!) I love the sweet friends we have made in NWA. It is such a blessing!
