The explosion of flavor also created an explosion on my lip! I woke up this morning with a gigantic cold sore! Ugh! I'm so glad the one day in years that I get a cold sore on my lip, I get to have my picture taken for work and then talk in front of a bunch of people. Yikes! Ok so it wasn't that bad. My friend Jess let me do several do-overs on my picture and gave me adequate time to pose. Which is saying a lot. Plus I got a new title, I am now a specialist instead of an assistant. Ben said I'm almost a seargent! ....more like a seargent major if you ask me.
New Beginnings was tonight and I had a nice time. I was impressed with how nice the program turned out. I had a small speaking part. I had to give an overview of the personal progress program, which is funny because I still kind of have a mental block on it. Good thing I have a life line that I can call for situations like that. I called my sister Marie from the church right before the program started. Thank goodness for life lines!
I missed Benjamin's skype call this morning, after waiting for 40 minutes I gave up and went to work feeling totally dejected. I hate when I miss his calls. I plan my whole morning routine around them. Get my hair perfect, make up on, cute outfit, perfume, the works! Gotta look good for my morning date!
So there was a microburst today and it blew out windows in different locations around town. It was really scary. Especially when they announced over the loud speaker at work that there was an external disaster. We were all a little frightened. I thought it was kind of ironic since I blogged about a tornado yesterday and last week. I have been stocking up on supplies since that time.
It was interesting watching the clouds moving so fast in such an ominous looking sky. It was frightening. I'm glad it's over and that the weather has turned calm again.
I'm also glad my speaking part is over. I used to enjoy speaking in public, but now I prefer to watch from the sidelines. I'm not as comfortable in front of a crowd as I used to be. Not too mention I feel a bit vulnerable when my husband isn't around to reassure me. I miss that man.
I'm sure you did great, glad I could help!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing...and beautiful! I love you and miss you too! You tell that cold sore to leave you alone or I will have to come home and take care of it :)
ReplyDeleteOOooh I hate cold sores! When we were in Montana I forget which sister it was, but she said when you feel it coming on if you take the vitamin ($4 at Wal Mart) L-Lysine it'll go away. Ihaven't had a cold sore since Montana! When you feel that lip tingle, you take no joke, about 15 of those suckers... take one... take another 10 minutes later.. take another, take another, take another.. and it's totally, totally made them go away or really, really tiny.
ReplyDeleteHow have I never heard the story of running through the Kimball building?!
First of all, cold sores Have been plaguing my life lately. I hate them. James said he doesn't care but I do. :). Second, I remember when you were so good at public speaking. Haha, it's funny to think of you not liking it.
