It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

I got all 3 of these dresses!

I did get another one as well, but they don't have a photo of that one.
But I LOVE each of them, a lot.

I was only going to shop for one. I wanted one
to bring with me on my trip with Sarah. Cause we're going to a fancy
place to eat. But Penny's {of course} ended up having
a great deal on dresses and the sales were too good to pass up!
I literally went in the dressing room with about 30 dresses! It was fun
trying them all on.
And in all that, I realized my "fix it" problem.
Dresses are big on me up top normally but if I go to a lower size they
don't fit me through the hips. Even though I am skinnier.
But I tried on a petite dress and it actually fit a lot better.
And I am wearing a size 8!
Not that I think I've shed any weight, I just think that
wearing a petite was my ticket to fitting me better
in the places where I really needed it too. It was a lot
of fun trying them on! So I took home 4.

Well my hours never seem to be set at work!
Here I was thinking that they would be set but it seems
that from after today that I'll be working the 5:30-10:30 shift.
Now mind you I cannot complain because in truth even before
we opened, I thought I'd be working that shift and it's the shift I really wanted
so that I could get off of work and then go workout cause it was
still in the morning and enough time to do that. Now with D home,
we can work out daily together and still have our day
before he's got to go to work.
So that's my schedule for now. I am not thinking that its going
to stay the same for very long since its changed so much.
But I do hope that this one starting tomorrow will stay that way,
I like that shift. We shall see.

Work is good. I love it there. And even though we've picked up some
we still aren't as busy as we all thought we were going to be.
So they are starting to cut hours and then they asked folks to go
and work at Charley's as well. Which of course I said I wouldn't do.
And I'm not. I made it really clear that I wouldn't do it.
So my supervisor knows this, and so far I won't have to go over
there. There are other peeps working with me, that need the hours
a whole heck of a lot more than I do and they are willing to go!
Thank goodness. I do find myself enjoying making coffee and getting
to know those who have become our regulars. It's a really fun job!
I feel blessed.

Dayv tests for master today.
For those non-military folk, it's another strip he's testing for.
Please say a prayer for him as he tests today.
While he was deployed, he studied hard and we'd really
like him to make it! Not only is it another strip it's more in
his pay. It's kind of like a promotion in the civilian world.

Well my day is calling me to start.
When I woke this AM I looked at my flowers and plants that we so
lovingly planted and thanked God for his creations.
Today, I hope that you give God thanks for what you see today too!
