Donation and Lia Spohia

     After I finished at the dentist with my mouth numbed for one of the cavities I went to the library to hunt up a new author.  I really should read my SIL's book blog.  I found the new Brandon Mull book before it went into circulation in the book mobile.  I am the first taker!  Wahoo!  So I showed it to Big T and he took it to work to read.  Yes, I am generous that way, contrary to popular opinion.  I came home and dealt with my motherly duties all day.



     When I made dinner I messed it up thinking that it wouldn't matter if I made a rue first.  It matters.  Baby was crying, A and Sweet boy were running in my small kitchen and fighting.  B was supposed to be doing his homework, but whining about it, and E was supposed to be doing her chores, but was getting "distracted" by the TV that nobody was supposed to be watching after I ordered it off.  Big T came home and immediately sat down at the computer to listen to the game, that they lost BTW.  I'd had it.  Without eating my ruined soup I packed up the Baby and left for a Lia Sophia party a little early.  I decided to go feed the Baby at the church in peace and quiet.  To my surprise, a blood donation drive was going on.  I fed the Baby quickly and asked if I could donate despite all my issues.  I was o.k.ed and began the process.  The ladies were so enamored with Baby that it took forever to get me going.  I finally sat in the donating cot and began my donation.  Six minutes and three seconds later I was eating a cookie and drinking orange juice.  That was a good cookie.  I felt better.  Giving to others helps you forget about yourself and calms the soul.  I showed up at the party twenty minutes late and was the first, and only, guest.  Too bad.  I loved the stuff and got carried away.  I bought this:

     I wear a lot of silver but my wedding ring is gold, so I got this bracelet to tie them together.

     This necklace was just too pretty on me to pass up.  Green is my favorite color and will match almost everything I wear to church.

Because I bought the other two, this one was 50% off.  Yahoo!  I can wear it several different ways.  I can wear it long, doubled up, or linked together to make a dangling charm necklace.  All three ways looked great with my fat neck and made it look slimmer.  Wow!  I had no idea jewelry could do that for me.  I guess I'll wear it more often.  Because I bought the other three I got this for a screaming deal:  83% off.  It works the same as the reflections necklace.  It is mother of pearl and should match everything I own (almost).  Now I have no excuse to look plain at church.

     After soothing my soul with giving and spending, I went home and smiled at my husband and enjoyed the rest of the evening.  I highly recommend such an evening for you.
