My lack of camera has me resulting to craziness so that pictures will be present and your eyes will feel entertain as my words stimulate your mind. (tee hee)

That seems like a lot, kinda.
Then I went to First Watch – a “daytime cafe” and had a FREE breakfast! Seriously! If you sign up for their “Sun e Club” you get an email worth a free menu item! So, I ate my turkey omelet (egg whites, turkey, spinach, tomatoes, and feta) and read my book – so fun.
Next stop: StarbucksI took my calendar, notebook, and birthday gift card and planned for the week ahead (big week coming up!)
Next: haircut. I LOVE the lady who cuts my hair. She loves Jesus and it is FUN and ENCOURAGING to spend time in her chair. She has been cutting my hair since I was pregnant with Little (so, five years) and really helped us through seminary. Today she helped with the maniacal wave in my hair that appeared after giving birth and I CANNOT control. She used some Redken product, it worked, and so she gave me the bottle!!! WOW!!!
Now I am home and the tune of “There shall be showers of blessings” keeps floating through my head. So, maybe I am not cheap. Maybe I am frugal. Maybe I am wise. Maybe I am just plain blessed.
