So, for *Christmas* my nieces and I planned a photo shoot. They couldn't wait long enough so my sister and brother-in-law got the pictures early. which means I get to post them!

How to get a prime parking space at work
I have always coveted the reserved spots in our parking garage. they are spacier so ppl aren't banging their car doors into yours and they are right in the front, and you don't have to search for a spot in the morning.
well, i found a way to get my own.
i started by picking a few reserved spots that were empty.
as the weeks went on, i watched every day to see if any of them ever had a car parked in it's space.
finally, after about 2 months i decided it was safe.
i picked the reserved spot that i had never seen a car parked in.
and, now, it is mine!!! i am the owner of a prime parking spot!!!!
...at least until i get a note telling me to stop parking my car in someone elses spot.

z gallerie + me = bff4l
i'm currently home obsessed and it's all i can blog about. today was my favorite part in the shopping process so far....
so, as i was trying to figure out the dimensions of a z gallerie sectional (option c in my last post) i was on the phone with an employee and we had a very funny conversation, which i tweeted about.
mytweet: z gallerie: "it's 68" from the seat to the ground" me: it's almost 6 ft off the ground? Z: uhhh i think so? me: can i speak w someone else?
WELL, today, I guess z gallerie saw my tweet and followed me! so excited i tweeted:
mytweet: omg you guys! @zGallerie is following me!!! i knew the love was mutual
IT GETS BETTER...I got a direct message from z!!
@zgallerie: Did you get the correct dimensions on that furniture piece you needed? If not, let me know which piece. #mutuallove. You should share pics of it when you have the reggie set up at http://ow.ly/2IoU1 ;-)
so, i think it's safe to say me and z gallerie are best friends for life. no big deal.

Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say Rejoice!
I was just listening to Family Life Radio and EVERYONE who called was whining or complaining or crying about something. It was so annoying. We Christians sure love to be miserable.
I mean, obviously there are intances when we are down from time-to-time, but I'm not talking about that. I am referring to the people who seem to only talk about how horrible and hard their lives are. Those who only focus on the unhappy rather than the positive. I don't think it's the best example as Christians. It just seems so ungrateful. We should be the happiest because we have God, RIGHT?! Doesn't the Bible say we should rejoice BECAUSE of our hard times?
I need to work on this too. I try to be a positive person for the most part. (just don't go checking my twitter from last night because my AC broke and I was definitely not joyful in my description).
In spirit of this blog post, I'm going list the positive side of my AC unit breaking:
- I have a pool!
- My mom and Bob brought me a portable AC unit at 2am so that I could at least try to make it livable. Wasn't that so nice?
- I have the best sister ever and I will probably stay at her house until they repair it
- and the best part....drum roll please........LITERALLY my warranty is up in 4 days so it's still covered! NOT. EVEN. KIDDING. It was God. That never happens. Things always break right AFTER the warranty is up, never before.
- I have a pool. That gets double mention.
So, I challenge you to stop yourself the next time you go to complain about something and list the positives instead.
"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation." (Habakkuk 3, 17-18)

Hump Day
Whenever I get e-mails that start out with "Happy Hump Day!" all I can think is, "Ummmm, TMI!?"
I had a revelation today. Hump Day does not mean what I thought it meant. If you are clueless like me, let me fill you in on a secret. Hump Day means Wednesday.
