I NEED a new PURSE!!!

Let's start this story with an emphatic statement about something I HATE!!!!

I HATE SNAKES!!!!! I don't care if they are poisonous or little or big or wild or pet or well, I just hate snakes!!

Now for the story.......I went to work this morning and as our office has a lunch order arrangement whereas there is a place chosen every day for us to order lunch from and admin goes to get it and brings it back to us. So this morning I wrote down my order and got out my purse to find money to pay for it. Well, I had to dig for change to have enough. In the process of digging, something inside my purse MOVED!!!! About 3 screams later my co-workers knew there was a SNAKE in my purse!!! So my co-worker grabbed the trusty iphone and took pictures in case I might forget it! It crawled out a bit and pretended to be trim on my purse. When it decided to go back inside, another co-worker took my purse outside and dumped it!!!

So what's in YOUR purse?
Then the knife that we used to use for cutting birthday cake cut the snake! Guess we need a new cake knife too!YIKES!!!!!!

Not sure how well I'll sleep tonight since I keep my purse beside my bed at night....Guessing that he got in overnight!

December is here!!

What happened to this last year? God has sustained us through a very difficult year. You know how there are those defining days in your life...those really big events...marriage, death of loved ones, birth of kids or grands, significant surgeries, change in careers, buying houses, blah, blah!

Well, we've had a few of those this last year! One of the really big ones has an anniversary coming up within days---Hubby's heart bypass surgery was 1 year ago this coming Saturday.

Those kind of dates cause you to look back and say, "Wow, it's been a year!"

Let me just say, I'm ready for this year to be over! I'm so very thankful for God's sustaining, ever constant presence throughout.

I am anxious to dig into the Christmas spirit, but I have another 12 days of school with several more tests, papers, etc to complete before I can get too much into Christmas activities.
