It’s Tuesday night, and here’s what’s on my mind:
1. My alarm clock woke me up at 5:10 AM this morning, but I decided that the best thing to do was to turn it off and then go back to sleep. God then woke me up 12 minutes later at 5:22 AM and reminded me of how much I love to go to work. I concurred, and I ended up arriving at work just about 15 minutes late. I more than made up for it with a ‘working and eating Lunch’ right at my desk.
2. I attended 3 meetings in a row this morning at work from 9 AM until nearly 10:30 AM. They were all extremely productive and rather entertaining (lots of laughs). I never thought that I would adore attending meetings until I started working at my current workplace nearly 8 months ago.
3. The Wendy’s drive-thru on Biscayne Drive just down the road from the base specializes in ‘speed ordering’. If you pull up to their drive-thru speaker then you better know right then and there what you want immediately. They pretty much demand your order as soon as you reach the menu board. There is no hesitation allowed !
4. I don’t like windy days like today. My extra fine mop up top gets all tossed around like that of a circus clown. At one point I looked like Albert Einstein.
5. I’m allergic to most colognes and perfumes. Someone in my building apparently doused himself with cologne today because I let out a few monster sneezes during the course of the work day today that could have shattered normal non-hurricane-proof / non-bullet-proof windows.
6. Someone out there in cyberspace wanted to know what they eat in Costa Rica for Easter, and a search engine decided to send that person to my blog today. That made me laugh.
7. If you speed through my neighbourhood then you are disrepecting my neighbours. The closer I get to my parking space in front of my home the slower I drive – out of respect to my neighbours.
8. Homestead is starting to look and feel like a busy big city. I present to you the undeniable evidence – choking traffic jams everywhere I go. This city is alive and kicking ! This is not your parents’ Homestead.
9. I recently had a request to add a second weekly edition of the ‘Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’ on another night of the week. I must disapprove of that request because you can get too much of a good thing. My goal is to leave you wanting more – not overdose you with goodness.
10. Aside from Life Pointe Church on Sunday mornings there’s another place where you can literally rock out to the jams, and that place is none other than Publix ! This afternoon I was dancing in the aisles like it was 1971 to Three Dog Night‘s “Joy To The World”. I wasn’t the only one !
