Sunday Night

This weekend has gone by entirely too fast! Yesterday Alfred and Jeff worked on my truck but it still isn't fixed. Jeff found that what I need is a universal joint and KIA doesn't sell them separately! You have to buy the entire drive shaft and it costs $700! Jeff just couldn't accept that so he took one off and headed to the parts house to see if they could match it up. They weren't successful but he DID manage to get a part number and after calling every parts house in two counties, I looked it up and found it online. Hopefully we will have the right parts by mid week and I can get my truck back! Thank you for everything Jeff Yeager!

Jeremy is back home and I really do enjoy him being here. He works nights and sleeps days so, with our schedules, there isn't much time to visit. He's a bit down on his luck right now and has never asked us for help. It is extremely hard for him to be in this situation but we are more than happy to try and help him get back on his feet. He's just too independent and too proud! I am believing good things for Jer so please mention him in your prayers.

One of my cousins from Mississippi wrote me many years ago and she said, and I quote, "CHRISTMAS IS JUST THE CORNER!" My sisters and I laughed about that for years and that's how we always say it now....."Christmas is JUST THE CORNER!" HA! But really......IT IS just around the corner! Has anyone started/finished their shopping? I haven't even started! Every year I have the best intentions and I am GOING TO start early but I never do! I find myself doing this last minute rushing around and making myself crazy because I've waited too late....AGAIN! UGH! Why do I do this? Here is is, 2 1/2 weeks away and I have to start shopping! I even have to mail gifts to my sisters and their families on the East coast. WOW! I amaze myself! I always manage to pull it off but I lose a lot of sleep doing it. I did a lot of online shopping last year and loved it! Everything was delivered to my door and with the exception of clothing items, I didn't have to do much shopping at all! I didn't go to the mall a single time! I am a strange bird according to most ladies I talk to. I despise the mall! If I never had to go to a mall for the rest of my life, I would be happy! I haven't been shopping at a mall in 3 years now! If there are any other women out there that share my sentiment, can I get an AMEN SISTA?!?! I'm a WalMart, HEB, LOWES and Tractor Supply girl myself!

I hope everyone has a blessed week! I heard a pastor saying that if we want good things then we should expect good things. Get up and say out loud that you are going to have a great day! Speak it over your life! The tongue is a powerful weapon that we can use for our good or for our own self destruction. Choose to use it for good brothers and sisters! God bless you all!
