Hey! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Here is yet another e-mail about my adventures so you can laugh and be kept up to date! I know some people from work and church aren't going to understand different parts but just skip over it and read on! :) I know I told you I got lost last week but let me tell you more! lol On top of being lost for an hour and in the process missing church, my window's began to fog up. So what do I do? Turn on my defrost right? No, that didn't work. So I rolled all my windows down thinking if the inside of the car was the same temperature as the outside it would get better and de-fog. NO! Well I started to panic when it just kept getting worse and worse so after people flashing their brights, honking at me and yelling profanity because I was driving so slow and swaggering all up in the lane, I just pulled over. I called my mom and bawled hysterically as if she was going to be able to do anything about it and asked why on earth I decided to move to this God forsaken humid, abnormally sized roach, frog, crazy kind of bugs never seen before infested state! lol When I gathered myself together because my other line was beeping I answered it and it was this girl that I met that goes to the same church calling me. She told me it was ok, and said turn your defrost on and turn it to heat instead of air. I was like IT'S 145 DEGREES OUTSIDE WITH 360% HUMIDITY...WHY THE HONK TURN THE HEAT ON?!?!? Well it worked none the less but I am still puzzled by this.
Oh well! The other day when I first got here I saw this bug when I was driving. It was two bugs and they were hooked together from their rear end's! I laughed and I pointed to it through the window telling my mom look at this freak bug! Well I learned differently the other day when I stepped out on my porch that there are more than just one....or two.....they are a "kind" of bug here! I asked about it and they are called "love bugs" because I guess they get stuck together. Well if you ask me it didn't look much like love because they try to crawl in two different directions when they land as I observed and if I learned ANYTHING from the message I heard SO many times growing up "Life's Second Greatest Decision" you can't marry someone and it be good if you are going in two different directions!!!! lol So it's past my comprehension why they call them "love bugs". lol :)
My allergies have just been beyond anything I can compare it to and have made me sicker than a dog. I went to bed Friday night after loading up on allergy and congestion meds at about 11 pm and didn't wake up until 6:40 pm on Saturday!!! I haven't slept much because I can't breathe and I am not used to my apartment. But at least I am not waking up wondering where in God's country I am anymore! lol In the allergy department I am adjusting and they are not so bad today as they have been and I can breathe! WHOO HOOO!!! I am more excited than you know! :) lol.
I miss my friends and church something TERRIBLE!!!! Sunday was "different" to say the least. It was odd waking up at 9 am to get ready for church and being at church at 10:30 am was crazy and so “off” for me but being there till 1pm for ONE MORNING SERVICE was just almost more than I could take! It was promotion Sunday for them and I missed Brother Tinsley being up there making us laugh and all our funny and sweet kids. I went home for lunch then shopping with Abel and then BACK to church. They asked me if I wanted to join choir and I said I would come to practice to see and I had to be there at 4:45. I wasn't comfortable enough to sing but it was fun and looks like something I will be getting involved in. They have cool choir robes! :) I was ok until alter call and then it hit me. I missed my church SOOOOOOO bad!!!!!!!!!! As I looked around I missed people hearing my pastor preach and pour himself and his heart out. Looking up on the platform to see praise singers I know and love. For example; I wanted a hug from Sis. Smalley SO bad, and I missed hearing her and seeing her pray for people and talking my girl smack lol with Jenn Huey and Teresa Morgans, The Ghodes family how sweet they are and how humble he is, Ginger Robinson and her crazy self and her hug and kiss, Sitting by and hugging, laughing and talking with my lil brothers Jonathon and Michael. Just things like that!! :) I was ok until the pastor’s wife told me how her oldest daughter just got married and how she is having a hard time adjusting and asked me if I needed anything! Then I got tears in my eyes and I was like “I'm ok! *sniff*” lol
Today was my first day of class and I had English/writing and math. I really liked my english/writing class we had to tell about ourselves like our names, major, and all that jazz in front of the class and so I told them all about how I missed my job and Midwest Nephrology and all the people there and how I loved the crazy place! lol :) I HATED math....I will just say this to sum up how I feel: AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! My teacher is a hippie, some kind of crazy religion and just out there!!!! He talked more about politics, his opinions and how he hates Texas rather than math, lol I dunno...he might wind up being ok though. Well, I am sure I have bored you enough for now if you see someone who's e-mail address I don't have please send it to them...I might not have it or have lost it or haven't gotten it in my e-mail address book yet. I will write more later and I am charging my camera to take pics this week!!!! I love and miss EVERYONE!!!!!
XOXO

P.S. Here is one funny story about the "Love Bugs" no offense to anyone, just thought it was funny! This was e-mailed to me and just made my day! "Just wanted you to know a little story about "love" bugs. My grandpa always called them "Baptist" bugs. He said that like Baptists, they always stick together, but they can't face each other. You know, like, "once saved always saved, but don't ask me what I did on Saturday night". It's corny but it helps give a bit of different perspective on bugs that make you need to wash your car every day."
