GiST February 5th
1) Paid all the bills! Feeling of relief and accomplishment
2) Decided to take a trip "back home" tomorrow.
3) Today everyone was asked to wear something red in honor of American Heart Day (I think, I did not read the memo too closely) and while searching my sparse closet I found I had ironed my red shirt that week-end!
4) Nothing like a Friday night in a Military town.
5) Happy people at the liquor store.

Grace in small things
Number 68 of 365
1) Had meeting with a group of High School students who make up our "fashion board" and I honestly have to say, I was impressed with them! Several are home schooled, one is in the ROTC program, and one is a boy!! (smart bastard).
2) My lunch all week has been baloney sandwiches. I'll say no more.
3) Driving like a lunatic, passing the Mennonites driving their tractors and taking corners on two wheels I clocked in to work on time, with 30 seconds to spare.
4) Pay Day!
5) Joe walks into the office and my heart goes pitty pat, after all these years.

Grace in Small Things - February Edition
Number 65 of 365
February 1
1) Amazon account getting back in gear now that my competition has obviously run out of product. Where as I on the other hand have access to plenty of it!
2) Feeling more at home/ease at the Mall office.
3) Foot snuggies.
4) Another old friend emerges on Face book. This one sort of bitter sweet.
5) Dinner in a box - Jambalaya with polish sausage from the back of the refrigerator. Whipped it up in a matter of minutes (about 30) and it was delicious. Bowl licking delicious.

Last Day of January First Month of the New Year
gIst #64
1) Going into work at Biscuit Bucket (which I am working part time 15 or so hours per week b/c Mall job pays p-nuts) and knowing that Rita has been working that day because the stuffed animals are positioned in some compromising positions (her way of saying hello to me). (I'll get some pic's w/ phone if I can!!)
2) Learning that the little wheelie thing on the mouse makes the screen go up and down very fast (teaching an old dog new tricks)
3) Watching the segment on the play Our Town on CBS Sunday morning. At one point they took four young adults to the play. They got the message - even in this wired in age they/we live in - that you have to stop and look up and see the sky. To stay grounded. That all the tiny things in ones life make the masterpiece. Sort of like Grace in Small Things.
4) Dental floss.
5) Finding a bottle of Breck shampoo at the dollar store and remembering the Breck Girls of the 1960's - Didn't everyone use Breck at one time?

The Homecoming
Grace in Small Things for Friday Jan. 29th
62/365
1) Was given an office of my very own! For the past two weeks I have been sitting/sharing the reception area. Upon Boss from Ohio visit, I was given a larger than life room (no windows but what the hey!). I have not had my own space in a ling long time. Remember when I shared a 10 by 10 room with the Smart Alec's and the Hunk?
2)Text messaging.
3) "Me lady" (have not come up with a nick name for her yet) buying my lunch at the China King. (I love Chinese Buffets!)
4) It snowed this afternoon and is still snowing. It was a delicious anticipation all day long. I do not work at Biscuit Bucket tomorrow - can enjoy the weather.
5) The computer came home today. I have a new hard drive. It means I have lost everything, all my programs, all my documents, all my music, all my pictures. But - I backed up the pictures long ago! Yea! Bonus GiST - the stick (what do they call those things?) that I transferred six years of pic's to!

Tuesday and I am still Julia Childish
GiST's 60 of 365 January 26th
1) Walked the Mall and met half the tenets and chatted about "things".
2) While looking up Biker Shows I went onto Face Book and had a great chat with Coochie (from 'the good old days'.....we agreed on that).
3) Heather Be Thy name was a no show for my e-val. Thank God, my Julia Childish was wearing off by then.
4) Finished book number 7 of the year, "The Widow's Curse" by Phillip Depoy. It was a wonderful find! A new mystery personality, this one named Fever Develin. Great easy fun read.
5)Got home in time, after being forced to take some computer classes at Biscuit Bucket about being held up by robbers and how to suggestive sell - an odd combo,to watch the UK game. Dang it if they didn't get beat and it made me sad. I felt it coming with about three minutes left. But, better now and get it over with. Better to loose now than in March (if you know what I mean!).

Make me more like Julia Child
or GiST's Number 59 of 365 - January 25th
1) Hearing Flock of Seagulls on Muzak. A real trip down that old '80's memory lane.
2) The sky was so dramatic on the ride into town. Black and turquoise with a cold front pushing in.
3) I made a tuna sandwich (because I decided not to go into town the day before and buy peanut butter) and it reminded me of the tuna sandwiches I had to endure as a child that my Mother made. She loved butter on her sandwiches (all of them) and so whenever she made one for us kids.....oh jeez. But the memory of those tuna and butter sandwiches opened up a door in my mind that had been closed for awhile.
4) When I awoke that morning I prayed that I would be enthusiastic about my new job at the Marketing office of the mall. I asked God to help me be more like Julia Child, as portrayed by Merryl S. in Julie and Julia. Enthusiastic and full of energy! And he listened!
5) While at work at the Mall, L. said some very irritating things, but I must have had some left over grace from my "let me be more like Julia Child" prayer and I just was very kind to her thinking she was having a bad Monday morning. ("I am sooooooo holy" as my little Bridget use to say after going to church...lol).

January 24th - Sunday's GiST
1) Was planning a trip into town to buy things and then stopped myself. I really didn't need to buy anything! Cool.
2) Instead took a luxurious bubble bath.
3) Then made some butterscotch brownies (because someone who shall remained unnamed ate all my semi-sweet chocolate squares!).
4) Had a weird strange virus during the night that miraculously was gone by 4am. Yuck and Thank goodness.
5) Cleaned the bathroom and kitchen and they were sparkling clean. Beautiful.
