Coffee Break

...but today was definitely a Monday! To start...I knew that I was covering for Mandy's show today so that was not a big surprise. I had a last minute reschedule for a meeting so that freed up a bit of time. I wanted to have some egg nog coffee since watching Iron Chef America last night, but they did not have any at Joe Muggs Coffee, so I settled for a Pumpkin Latte instead. It was real good...and I enjoyed some quiet "me" time (for the record that happens only every so often). I did manage to get a bit of my "never gonna happen" book started today while I was sipping on my coffee and I managed to get some of the BNI work done that needed to get done today. OK...BNI...that is Business Networking International. I love to network & I love people, so it's a great marriage for me and business. I am part of a new chapter that was started a few months ago and I am so glad that we are growing fast! Ok...sidetracked...sorry. So my Monday continues as a path of ...

feels a bit strange this year. We had a real nice Thanksgiving, but I obsessed on not getting upset. I tend to get overwhelmed when everyone gets together. I am not real sure why, I just do. I think it stems from feeling disconnected. I have felt that way from most of my life. I wonder if that comes from growing up in the military. I'm not sure, and I don't know why I fell that I have to "diagnoise" all my "feelings". It should be ok to feel. As a matter of fact the Bible says a lot on feelings, and more importantly not to act upon those feelings. Feelings can be (not always)deseptive. I will try to keep that in mind. So to sum up...Thanksgiving was nice, real nice. Yesterday I heard that Mandi, our mid-day girl, has Swine Flu. I hope that she is feeling better. I have concerns with switching as the "sub" when a shift needs to be covered. I would rather do my regular then flow into the covering. I don't know if that would be better or not. It...

As I am at work this morning I am once again bombarded with multiple thoughts and I am beginning to wonder if I am going to make it through today with my sanity intaked. All week we (my co-worker and me) have been going on air and saying each day what we are thankful for - just one thing. It is more challenging than you'd think. I have to say that God has answered several prayers over the past 24 hours, and I am thankful for a faithful God as I try to stay faithful to Him. As I have said, I am at work right now. When Bart and I get off the air, I have to track for Sunday and we have to track Friday's show. Off I go on this overcast dreary day to turn in my leased Honda Pilot. I really love my Honda, but I really love not having a car payment more - so I am turning my car in and I am getting my Nissan Altima out of the shop. I have to pay a couple thousand to get it out, but then I'm done...it's paid for and it's mine, so I'm happy. But with that I still have to ...

Well hello! My first blog on Blogger.com. I have been blogging for a few years now, mostly random thoughts and things that strike me as funny. I will be transferring some of my favorite blogs over to this new site, but for the most part this is a brand new day. My goal is to blog about my work, my relationships, my children, and to give helpful tips when I see one that is worth sharing. Life is a journey and the best way to remember that journey is to journal it. Hmmm...Journey & Journal...same prefix. I'm sure that is not a coincidence. I suppose I should start with who I am and what I do. Let me introduce myself then... My name is Jennifer. I was born in New Jersey in 1972. I was the first of 2 children and before my sister was born my dad joined the United States Air Force. You'll learn more about my adventures in the military throughout my blogging. I am currently living in Georgia. I am married and I have 3 wonderful children. They are 10, 9 and 7...and yes they keep m...
