    I can tell people are praying for me, because today I've felt 100% better...and I've felt so happy all day, it's amazing what a change it is from yesterday...oh what wonders some sleep and prayers can do.

     

    I got to sleep in today and then I went with my mom and sister and got a massage at GMI's student massage clinic, where students training to be a massage therapist give you an hour massage for 20 bucks...but today it was freeee, cuz today was "client appreciation day"....a free one hour massage, how cool is that?!

     

    And...it gets even better!! The students teacher was asking us if we wanted to schedule another appointment for next saturday, and my mom and sister both said yes(cuz they go almost every week)but I said no(because it's not usually free and I can't afford to pay anything, even though it's only 20 bucks normally which is like reaaallly cheap for an hour massage)

     

    and the teacher was like "why aren't you re-scheduling" to me and I told him I was broke, and he was like, "well, come anyways, we'll give you another free one since you are broke". How awesome is that?!? I was absolutely thrilled...cuz after lugging my big massage table around giving different people massages during the week, I'm usually pretty sore on the weekends...so yeah I was really happy about that. YAY!

     

    And then after the massage the devil was probably mad that I was feeling so much happier today, and he tried to get me down, by letter a buggy run into my brand new spotless car that I got in January, and leaving two HUGE dents in the side of it....

     

    I do NOT have the money to repair that right now, and then I remembered that when I first got the car it had a tiny dint in the hood and the car place offered to fix it for free since it was new and all, but they have this guy that works for another company and comes and fixes dents for them, so I had to call him and set up an appointment and stuff...and I remember thinking I should keep his number incase I ever get any more dents. He was really fast too, he fixed that other dent in like 15 minutes.

     

    And I remember him asking me where I worked while I he was fixing my car, and I told him I was a professional massage therapist and he was like, wow that's awesome, I love massages...(EVERYONE says this to me when they find out my profession)

     

    SO ANYWAYS....A thought came to my mind as I saw the two new dents in my car, why not call him up and see if he'd do a trade, fix my car in exchange for a massage! So I called him up and asked him that and he said YES! So yay, now I get my car fixed and have to pay NOTHING. Sweeeeeeet.

     

    Of course my dad freaked out when I told him I was giving that guy a massage and was like, you better not go to his house or anything and I was like, OH MY GOSH, I would NEVER go to a guy's house to give him a massage, I only massage guys in professional business offices. I only do house calls for girls. haha

     

    So yeah I'll probably give that car fixer guy a massage at my friend Erica's dad's office, he's a chiropractor and said I could use his office whenever I needed to.

     

    After the massage I went by starbucks and got a mint mocha frappucinno with my starbucks gift card, which was totally yummmmyyy(And I am still feeling the effects of it as I am SUPER buzzed and typing 90 miles a minute)

     

    Although it was kinda freaky at starbucks cuz I went through the drive thru and what sounded like a huge black dude took my order and like hit on me over the intercom, and when I got up to the window, it wasn't a big black dude, but instead it was a big white lesbian!! AAAAAH!!!!

     

    I think she must've liked my kamo green and black tshirt or something, maybe she thought I was masculine and had been hunting or something? Of course if you look at the FRONT of the shirt it has a dove/flower and says "peace" which is definitely girly..but anyways...that kinda freaked me out and disturbed me alittle, because I'm just never expecting to be hit on my girls so when it happens i'm like...EEWWWW!!!!!!!! And then I wonder if I look like a lesbian or something and wonder if they thought that and why they hit on me and then I am even more disturbed.

     

    And don't get me wrong, I do not hate lesbians/gay people at all, two of my friends are gay guys and I love them, I just don't love their lifestyle...I consider it a sin, but in God's eyes all sins are equal so my sin in God's eyes is just as bad as their's, so I don't condem them at all...and I get so mad at christians that do....because they condem homosexuals and march with signs and stuff, but yet they are just as guilty because they knowingly sin by lying, gossiping, gluttony, etc, which is just as equal to homosexuality in God's eyes.

     

    I'll have to admit I get along with gay guys way more then lesbians though, nothing personal to any lesbians that might be reading this, but I guess since I've had multiple lesbians hit on me that I am a bit paranoid that I am going to be hit on by them. Nothing personal...it just makes me feel...awkward...cuz I am NOT a lesbian. I love boys...and feel very strange/disturbed and uncomfortable when girls hit on me.

     

    So yeah, after that I blasted my music/tried to clear what had just happened out of my mind, sang at the top of my lungs, sipped my fappucinno, and then I headed to the boonies of taylorsville to babysit the kids I used to be a nanny for.

     

    They are sooooooo sweet, I love babysitting them. They are hilarious and always crack me up, I laughed so much the seven year old asked me why I laugh all the time..I told him I just couldn't help it cuz he was so funny.

     

    Here are some pictures of them -

     

    Stephie, Sam and Evan


     

    Stephie and her great dane, Daisy Duke, asleep...Daisy's bigger than Stephie!!!


     

     

    It looks like Daisy's attacking the cat, but the cat's really attacking daisy..daisy was just laying down asleep and the cat ran up under her head, wrapped his arms around her and started kicking her face, see the white blur, that's his feet moving at the speed of lightning!


     

    We played phase 10 and watched Napoleon Dynamite, and I got 50 bucks. How cool is that, 50 bucks to play phase 10 and watch napoleon dynamite, if only I could do that every day...

     

    They dared me to call my sisters and quote napoleon dynamite and ask them to "bring me some chapstick cuz my lips hurt real bad" so first I called my sister Meghan, here is our conversation.

     

    Amy; Hey, Meghan, can you bring me some chapstick. *bursts out laughing*

     

    Meghan; *confused sounding* what?!

     

    Amy: *laughs* Can you bring me some chapstick, my lips hurt real bad...

     

    Meghan; *annoyed sounding* no I am NOT bringing you chapstick!!

     

    Amy;  *laughs hystarically* I don't really want you to bring me chapstick, I was quoting napoleon dynamite...

     

    Meghan: oh..I don't like napoleon dynamite and I didn't remember that part. But mom does and she is laughing really hard.

     

    And then I called my sister Amanda, who i know for a fact has seen napoleon dynamite and who's 5 year old son can quote the entire movie, word for word. I thought surely she would get it.

     

    Amy; Hey Amanda, can you bring me some chapstick, my lips hurt real bad

     

    Amanda: aww, poor thing, are they like really chapped or something, sure, I'll bring you some...

     

    Amy: *laughing* oh my gosh, you are so sweet, I can't believe you were actually going to bring me chapstick..I don't really want any, I was quoting napoleon dynamite...

     

    Amanda; oooooooh...*laughs* I should've gotten that, but I'm just really tired....

     

    Amy: *laughs* I still can't believe you were going to bring me some, you are too nice.

     

    How funny is that?! Me and the kids were laughing hystarically, it was awesome.

     

    Hope you're all having a good weekend so far, thanks again for the encouragement, and the prayers, I can definitely feel them.

     

    Love you all!

  • wow. that was about the longest thing i've read in a while...atleast, something that isn't harry potter.

  • Longest. post. ever.

    Just borrow some from the nurse, I know she's got like FIVE sticks in her drawer.

    Don't give up on the job hunt. It may still sound cliché, but maybe God is just filtering out the rest of these jobs cause he has a specific place for you to be.

    Again, I'm really inspired by your ability to turn around a time when it looks like you don't have much to be greatful for, and list so many positives about life in general. You've handled the whole deal waaay better than 99% of the rest of the world would've. Keep your chin up, we're praying for you!

  • I'm so glad that you are doing better!  That's awesome.

    The whole lesbian thing is kind of weird... I've never been hit on my a girl, but that would be so weird...

    I don't go to church with Josh anymore, but I saw him at Chic-Fil-A last weekend... it was so cool.  I wish we had of had a video camera when we were recording.  That would be hilarious!!!

    We should get together some time... it would be fun.  Bass and guitar... cool!

    well, I hope you have a great day and week!

    I LOVE YOU!!

  • Yeah Amy! I miss you too!!!!!!!! You should give me a call!

  • Glad you're feeling better! I'm still praying for you! have a great week!

  • I'm glad we could be an encouragment! :D !!! You're an awesome person, I mean that :) Don't forget! And by the way, that picture of Stephie and her great dane was blurry, and it looked at first like a newborn with it's ambilical cord still attached. I thought that was a new take on xanga pictures. I thought it was like THE oldest picture of Steph that existed lol
