Some days everything just works out so well.

I went to the school to pick up Alyson. Aimee had to stay late for cheerleading and Alyson and I needed to find something to do for an hour. We decided to go to the local thrift store. I needed to get some glasses..... I don't know where the ones went we've been using, but one by one they've disappeared.

We got there and I told Alyson she could get one thing. She found a little guitar she liked, and I started picking up the glasses... 50 cents a peice... I got about 10. From there I went to look at the blankets. I love fleece. I love to get fleece for my girls too. They are soft, easy to wash, cheap, and very warm. I hit the jackpot. They had 2, one for Alyson and one for Aimee.

All the while I'm shopping I''m thinking to myself I really need to go look at the books. In each aisle I was looking, I thought this several times, so finally, I went to check out the books.

And there it was......

I was at the bookstore the other day looking at The Message. It's a Bible in everyday english language, more like a paraphrase. But at the bookstore I read some of it and I really wanted it. I thought to myself that I would pick it up next pay day. And here we are, at the thrift shop, and there is a copy of The Message for 1.50! A few books down, there is a hard copy of The Purpose Driven Life for 1.50... and that was so funny too because I had thought I really needed to get Alyson her own copy. Then I looked at the shelf above and there was a book called In His Steps, What would Jesus Do? Perfect for Aimee.

12 new glasses, 3 new books, a set of pyrex bowls, 2 fleece blankets, and a guitar...... all in less than 30 minutes.

We finished just in time to pick Aimee back up, and came home and the girls ate the hashbrown casserole and chicken, and it's just really been a very good day today.

I also found out today that I have another client, which means 12 additional hours for me. Hooray!
