Thanks for reminding me to connect with a cashier.

I didn't do much today much today because I was stiff from painting the last couple days. I finished the bedroom closet yesterday (boy you really have to twist your body in weird positions to paint in the closet and not get paint in your hair, etc).

Since the weather was so nice, I was outside alot with the girls. We are trying to reintroduce Lulu, the lame runt back to them so she can possibly live with them again. The girls are not very accepting and we stay nearby so when she has had enough or if we feel they are getting too mean, we rescue her. It is time comsuming but you can tell she wants to be with them just not picked on by them. Hopefully, it will work out.

debiraymond - Hope you are feeling better tomorrow. Ever donation big or small is appreciated.

feathersnuggles - Good for you, isn't helping someone with the garden great. I'm sure your mom will enjoy those eggs. We had great weather here too.

sonew123 - Doesn't it feel good to give away those beauties that you are so proud of? I know I feel like that.

I completely forgot to come back in and post last night. Well, other than my gifts of words and time to others on the internet and phone I came up a little short yesterday. I spent some time talking with a young friend who is lonely on the internet. I don't know why, I like kids but I am finding it hard to do this. I feel a little bit drained after talking with her because everything requires an explaination.
I think it sounds like everyone is doing very well. Debi, even sharing that you had a day that you didn't give, helps all of us to be able to see some of the difficulties. You will do better today, I am sure.

OK... I have another giving quote to share:

“Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.” -Andre Gide

Have a great day everyone!

I didn't get home till very late last night, way past my bedtime. I'm still tired!

I decided to hook up with a friend, I had planned to blow off this weekend, for a late dinner last night. By the time I was done with work I was just burned out beat, but I put on a happy face and we had a nice evening.

Well, I think it is time to pull out the stops and give something that I find truly difficult to part with. I am not sure what it will be yet, but either today or tomorrow, I hope to do it soon. Time to walk a another couple of dozen eggs across the street also. And the rock pile is going down too.

Went to an anniversary party last night and paid for dinner for two older people instead of buying the shoes I wanted.

Ok I had to make up for my non-giving day, so today I let someone go in line in front of me at the store, and then I bought some Girl Scout cookies and let them keep the change.

I took a dozen eggs to the Moose Lodge to give away at the Super Bowl party.

Oh, that is great..... But as a former Girl Scout Leader and County Cookie Director and Chairperson, I have to tell you that officially, they are not supposed to do that

And now you know why I was such a good director..... Such a nag.

Is it girl scout cookie time already? Usually it isn't until the beginning of March. I can't wait to get me some of everything..... Yummmmmmmmmmmy!
