Yogurtland!!

I went to visit my sister Ivanna on Friday last week. We went to yogurtland. It was really tasty! She's loads of fun that sister of mine.

Super Tasty yummy.

Kiwi. Yummy!

I couldn't help but notice they are selling more than yogurt here. They're selling me I RULE!

Alison Visits

My best (non-sister) friend came to visit this weekend. She’s living in Arkansas right now – going to school. And her name is Alison. She’s wonderful. I got to see her Friday, Saturday and Sunday. A really nice weekend of fun. But I didn’t even take on SINGLE picture!

She did motivate me to get these really cool shoes.

You can’t see the heel but it’s 4 ½ inches! I’m super tall with them on.

And I didn’t read nearly as much in this book as I should have.

It’s not as fun as parties, roller-derby, lunch with folks and even shopping for shoes.

Wonderful Community

Today I had a really good (and important) conversation with Lynn. She's one of the people I live with. She's not like my mom (I've already got one that I like) but she's sort of that role in the home. After all, she is A mom. This morning we were talking in the early morning before anyone else was up. We were talking over general concerns and ideas. Then we started talking about how I hate conflict, and work really hard to prevent it from happening. It's not unusual for me to do something myself (even when it's not really my job) if I sense there will be a conflict from someone else doing it.

I'm being mentored by a wonderful Christian woman, and this is one of the things she's encouraged me to address. My desire for peace is not a problem - it's when I interfere with others duties and responsibilities to create that peace. I think I've had improvement!

Anyway, back to the point. I stepped on a nail on Saturday. It's not really that bad, but my foot hurts. (High heels work better than flats - just saying!) So feeding the animals, which requires a lot of walking around, has been difficult. This morning was my morning to chore. And I was able to do it. But Lynn said that she was trying to be more protective of my time and comfort. And, so she was going to get someone to help me out.

This started my day wonderfully. It was not just having someone come out and get a bunch of work done with me, even though that was really, really nice, it was also knowing someone was thinking about my needs.

So thanks Forest and Lynn!
