Can't really put cohesive thoughts together tonight. O isn't feeling well (had to go to the doctor this morning for a breathing treatment). We were slightly misled by the people who owned this house and told their pet never went upstairs where my girls' rooms are. I specifically asked since O is very allergic (as am I). I'm really fighting the urge to be angry at them. I was especially fighting the urge as I was clearing out her room today so we can rip out the carpet tomorrow morning. I've watched her struggle to breathe enough and she won't be going back in there.
Good times ... good times.
Anyway, how about we focus on some happy things? Here are some things that make me happy at the moment....
**Diet Coke with Vanilla from Sonic. Yum! We don't have a Sonic near our home, but I find myself making the 20 minute (one way) trip more often to enjoy the goodness. Of course, also for the best.ice.ever.
**This mascara from Maybelline. It's brilliant, I tell ya. Love. It! I won't go into all my issues with mascara, but I'm really picky. I've been known to wear more than one at a time. This one is great! Check it out.
**Kari Jobe came out with a new CD as well. I bought her first one online a couple of years ago (it wasn't available in stores). She's included some of the same songs on this CD like My Beloved and Revelation Song ... however, I am really enjoying You are For Me! I've listened to it a million times in a week. I certainly need the reminder that indeed He is.
*Also, for some Travis Cottrell news (is this turning into a music post?). Travis is coming out with a new worship CD soon (I know some of you were able to attend the worship service in Woodstock, GA where it was taped and I heard it was wonderful ..... although I wasn't there ..... I couldn't go ..... I really wanted to ..... I may have cried ..... and, I may still be bitter ..... anyhoo ....), you can pre-order it here. You're welcome.
**I know some of you did this bible study by Kelly Minter last summer. I'm just now getting around to reading it and it's certainly God's timing for me to read it now. Wow, it's very convicting about all the things I place before the Lord and didn't realize. Great stuff and an easy read.
Which brings me to the subject of my next post. When I posted a picture of my nightstand the other day, I got some comments and emails about what I'm reading. Tomorrow, I'll post a list of books I'm currently reading and what I have on my nightstand waiting. I would love to hear about your lists....

Sorry to hear about O... poor thing!
And dang it - I've YET to ever make it to Sonic... I gotta try it!!!
I can't wait to see what all you are reading simply because I need some new ideas. I will tell you mine on your next post.
So sorry about the carpet fiasco. That's awful! I hope that takes care of all the allergy issues and y'all feel better soon.
That is some good music. I also love Mandisa, Kari Jobe and I think you know of my love for that cd from Travis. I CANNOT WAIT to get the copy I pre-ordered. It can't come soon enough!
Oh, I can't wait to hear what you are reading. I always love to hear ideas for books to read. Also, I can't wait to check out those CD's! Keep sharing!!! Also, I hope that O gets better. Poor thing...how miserable for her and you!
A couple of things....
praying for your and O's allergies....and for the carpet to be replaced quickly. I'm sorry that happened.
Second - you would never believe how picky I am about mascara (stems from having way too short eyelashes)....I will have to try that one.
And lastly, I really just can't believe that that town 20 minutes away has a sonic and your town doesn't -- that is odd. We do have a Sonic here and Vanilla Coke is my favorite! I just don't do diet.....so I rarely get one. I do however, try and convince one of the girls to get that drink so I may have a sip of heaven. =)
Here I am... a new reader to your blog. Thought I would comment on "No Other Gods". I did that last summer with LPM and enjoyed it! It taught me things about myself that I did not realize.
PS - You must live in GA. I just moved here last fall and the nearest Sonic to me is also +20 minutes one way. I am missing having it 5 minutes away!!!

Not sure if my first comment went through. I got an error.
Anyway...I just invited you to participate in the monthly carnival "What's on My Nightstand" at www.5minutesforbooks.com. We posted on the 24th. I'd love to see what you're reading.
Kelly Minter's book is awesome!
I am in need of new christian worship...love those links.
I hope you all get that allergy stuff taken care of and everyone starts to feeling better. That is awful!
I love me some Mandisa, too! And Sonic is DEFINITELY worth the trip!!! Hope the flooring and everything is all done and you are enjoying a great weekend!
