Blessed Sunday

I truly enjoy attending my new church, New Life Christian Fellowship. After every service, my spirit feels uplifted and I feel like I can tackle anything that comes my way because God is behind me. "God loves me for who I am, not who I should be." that was the most important message I received during my first visit there on January 1, 2012. I needed that message like I've never needed anything else in the entire world. After spending 2 years of my life in a relationship with someone where I felt worthless, disgusting, ugly, stupid and fat, I came to a place where I was loved just for being me. What an awesome place to begin the new year!
So , of course, I was overjoyed when I started bringing Gavin there and he enjoyed it. He tried out the kids Sunday School but found that he prefers staying in the regular service with me and the rest of the adults.
Today, my spirit was lifted once again. As we were worshipping through song, I heard this tiny little voice next to me singing along. It might not seem like a big deal to some people but Gavin can be extremely shy. I couldn't believe my ears. Tears were streaming down my face just from hearing his sweet voice sing the very same words that lift my heart every Sunday morning. What a lucky mother I am to have a very special son.

New Look?

I went out last night and did my makeup a little differently than I usually do. By different, I mean really heavy eye shadow and liner. Not sure what to think of it. I was going for a smokey eye but I don't think I quite got there! Oh, and you can't really tell from this picture but my boy, Carlos, colored and cut my hair.

Online Dating...Not So Much!

So, I have ventured into the world of online dating. So far, not so good.  I started messaging back and forth with this guy, Steve.  *The names have not been changed to protect the innocent because this guy is a terd.  We messaged for a while and then exchanged phone numbers.  We talked quite a few times over the phone and got along fairly well.  He mentioned a few things that made me question his lifestyle.  He apparently eats dinner at his parents' house several times a week.  Several times a week?  Yes, several times a week.  So I imagined he's a 44-year old virgin who brings his laundry over for his mom to do and then eats her food while his dad asks him what he is going to do with his life.  Anyway, I decide not to be too judgmental and give him a shot.  He waited forever to ask me out.  He finally asks if we can go out on Wednesday after I get out of work.  We agree that we will meet somewhere in Glastonbury.  I had to get off the phone so he said he would text me the next day to figure out where we would meet.  

I got a text from him alright.  He texted me and asked if we could meet at Whole Foods because he needed to "grab some stuff."  What the...?!  I told him I would rather meet at Max Fish or Plan B so we could sit and talk and get to know each other.  He insisted on Whole Foods and said he didn't have time to eat dinner with me because he was meeting his parents for dinner at 7:30pm.  Again, what the...?!  He wanted our first date to be grocery shopping?  This is why he is single.  I don't mean to sound like a snot but are you serious?  I think I am worth more than a stop at Whole Foods.  I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning but that was the last conversation the two of us had.

So Crazy

People often tell me that I have the craziest things happen to me.  So why not blog about it?!  I constantly have crazy, amazing, silly, odd, infuriating things happen to me.  If there is someone out there who can get a laugh from my life, I think that's great!  Hope you enjoy some of my stories.
