10/21/2010 Rain in the Desert

Woke up early this morning, six thirty! What was I thinking? Actually it was the pitter patter of raindrops on the roof that woke me. That’s a sound we don’t hear often in the desert during the time we’re here. It cleared by mid-morning but the day was on the cool side, I don’t think it got out of the 70’s today.

Bob took advantage of the cool day and polished all the chrome on The Beast. He also spent quite a bit of time trying to get answers to the “sucking air” sound we have via the forums on the Internet. Usually those guys come through for him but today he got 300 different causes for that sound. He’s working at narrowing it down.

Since it was a cool day I baked a cake. And Google came to the rescue when I couldn’t get the darn thing out of the pan. I had never had that problem before and when I googled “can’t get cake out of pan” I found out that a whole lotta people have had this problem because there was site after site listed to give you suggestions on how to fix the problem. Seems I left mine cooling too long. It was an easy fix, I just had to put hot water in a bigger pan than my cake pan and set the cake in it. Five minutes later my cake was free! How did we ever live without Google????

Our Phillies won tonight! They HAD to win so it was a sit on the edge of our seat every time the Giants were up kind of game for us. Game six on Saturday.

30 Days of Truth - Day 4 - Something You Have to Forgive Someone Else For.

I have been thinking about this one and thinking about it. I have gone all the way back to my teen years trying to think of something that I have to forgive someone for. I can’t think of a darn thing.

To me, to forgive means much more than “gettin’ over it” If I was to have an argument with someone and they really crossed the line with their words but a few hours later everything was hunky-dory, well that is just gettin’ over it.

Now if you really screwed me over like telling a major lie about me or telling a major lie to me, making a pass at my husband, using me, or anything else of that magnitude then that would call for forgiveness. Of course if you did any of those things to me I would kick you to the curb so fast you wouldn’t know what hit you. I don’t mean I would literally kick you, it means that I would banish you from my life so fast your head would spin. I guess the term forgive and forget doesn’t apply to me. I don’t ever forget! Those who have crossed this line with me don’t get the time of day from me. I will be the best friend you’ve ever had but screw me over in a major way and you’re history and there is no chance of getting back into my good graces. There are four such people who used to be in my life. I choose not to forgive. Actually, there’s nothing to forgive, they are just gone,they don’t even exist for me. This is my truth.
