Still take the cup!!

I sense that the cup isn't going anywhere soon! I don't know, I just sense that it isn't.

I had a good day today. My run was nice but not as long as yesterday... 4 miles! The weather was a bit more warm and I was a bit more tired. Not usually a great combination!
However, I didn't see any snakes today. Yesterday I saw two. I don't love snakes. In fact, I HATE them.

You know... the best way sometimes to avoid issues is just to ignore them. That might not be exactly the healthiest way, but it sure seems easier at times. I couldn't help but just laugh parts of my day off today.

O.k~ I have to make a list again!

Things that frustrate Janell:

~ a really full belly (I have one right now)
~ babies that are out way to late at wal-mart
~ when ppl are really mean
~ clothes that are too tight and weren't last year or two years ago
~ ppl who aren't thankful for what you give them (talking about mother's day present)
~ Temperatures below 40
~ Temperatures above 100

Things that make Janell happy: (This list could go on and on)
~ Nice ppl
~ genuinely happy ppl
~ Sleepovers in fancy hotels (not that I frequent many of them)
~ Birthdays ; )
~ Suprising someone with a gift
~ Pregnant bellies
~ Propel
~ Swimming pools on a hot summer day
~ the sound of a sleeping baby
~ MEXICO
~ Best Friends ; )
~ New love
~ Puppies (wiener dogs in particular ~ two boys under one roof~ one red and one black)
~ hot showers
~ perfect baths
O.k.... the list is pretty much endless!

Well...... goodnight!!!

Take this stinkin' cup

I have an old friend from elementary school who turns 30 tomorrow. We always called her "Downtown Julie Brown" b/c her name was Julie Brown. I don't know what happened to her b/c I didn't keep in touch. I think she has a child now but is not married. It seems like my mom told me that once. I am really not sure why I am writing about this and I am not sure why I remember her birthday. I know... it's strange!

Well... I ran today and that was nice! 5 miles to be exact and the weather was PERFECT!!!! There aren't that many PERFECT running days here in the great state of TX! No humidity today and little wind. The high was 80.

I am writing b/c I have a TON on my mind. For the first time in my life, I understand when Jesus said to God, "Lord, take this cup." That has been running around my mind for the last week! There is something in my life that I really just want to disappear. I realize that God didn't take it away for Jesus and I also realize that He may not take it from me. I sort of feel like He won't and that I will have to go through what I need to go through...... DANG IT!!!! As I say when I am around my school children and want to cuss but can't : STINK PANTS!

I realize that going through things....blah blah blah.... makes you a stronger person...blah blah blah! Fine....... I got that part! Oh well!

Tony B's birthday bash ~ Fandango to be exact is this weekend! It will be lots of fun! I am looking very forward to seeing lots of ppl that I haven't seen in a while! It is always great for your ol' brain to take you back.

I want to thank my very special friend for helping to make this past Sunday a nice day. THANK YOU FRIEND! I had a nice weekend and look forward to the 28th of May! I will be kickin' it up in MEXICO! Talk about fun! I will need the pictures to remind me of the fun I had. Can't forget the camera.....

Well..... looking back... it seems like I write more on Tuesday evenings b/c I am saying: Happy Hump Day! I guess tomorrow is already Wednesday! WOW!

Goodnight.
