HMMM . . . what should the title be?

I can already tell that this will be my biggest challenge . . . what title to give the blog each day. LOL

I've added a couple of things/elements to the blog today. First a "counter" to see if anyone else comes to read this. The second is a daily Bible verse. It is a feed - so I never know what the verse will be. I was going to try and type a Bible verse in every day, but I decided that would be too much like work!

I had fun last night - left work a little early and went to a bar/restaurant with some of my co-workers. It was one of the guys last day and he really wanted me to go. Going to the bar is NOT something I usually do; but this was actually at a restaurant . . . we just happened to be sitting where they served alcoholic beverages.

There are seveal reasons that I do not go to bars . . . 1) I don't feel it is a good place for Christians to hang out. Just doesn't give the right impression. and; 2) I don't drink alcohol. Again, partly because of the Christian beliefs I was raised with but also because I am an insulin dependent diabetic. Now I know there are diabetics out there who drink - I just don't want to be bothered with trying to adjust my insulin to cover the metabolic effects of the alcohol. Besides, I also can't even stand the SMELL of beer and I don't like the flavor of wine; Why should I force myself to learn to like something that is not really good for me?

So anyway, my friend Jay offered (with some arm twisting) to drive me last night. We always have a good time together and we got back to the office around 7pm or so.

This morning, I went and had breakfast (as usual) with my neighbors and my brother. Today, though, Melissa and Steven came and joined us as well. Steven's face just lit up when he saw me walk in the restaurant (late, as usual). We tried and tried the other day to get him to call me Sasa - no go. But Melissa told me that as soon as I left to go back to work, he turned around and said, "Where'd Sasa go?" Figures, doesn't it?

After breakfast, I had to come home and round up Murphy. Have you ever tried to round up a cat? It can be quite an adventure. I am leaving to go to Camp Meeting and Murphy is staying with "Aunt" Gloria and "Uncle" Ron while I am gone. He actually loves it at their house, once I get him there! I think it is all the treats that Uncle Ron gives him. Murphy was pretty easy to catch, but getting him INTO the pet taxi was another story. He was grabbing the door frame of the car, trying his best to not get in that pet taxi! Then once I get him in there, I have to start praying that he won't throw up. He's not as bad as his "brother" used to be; Buster would lose control of ALL bodily functions. It was always bath time when we got to our final destination. I'll have to save some of those stories for another entry.

So while I was dropping off Murphy, Melissa and Steven came over. (Gloria is my ex-sister-in-law and Melissa's mom. She divorced my brother, but not me!) When Steven saw me in the kitchen, he came running over to me with a huge grin on his face and just grabbed me around the knees. It tickled all of us that he was so excited to see me. He still won't call me Sasa to my face though. LOL

Well, it's getting late. I'm not sure what kind, if any, internet connection I will have this coming week. They are supposed to have Wi-Fi throughout the campgrounds, but with several thousand people there for the week, I'm not really sure how well it will work. I can't imagine going a whole week without logging in, so I may have to search out another hot spot!

Take care and God Bless!!
