Little Bits 10 on 10

10 little bits from my day and the beauty in the normal things life brings. 

29 years ago this morning, I was able to get a message to my husband, who was cruising along at 35000 feet, that I was in labor. I just thought he'd like to know. But he actually made it home in time for the arrival of this little cutie! 

It's a hysterical story!

So, of course the day starts with a happy birthday text!

Filling the soul a bit before heading out.

This is my 10 on 10 friend Jen. Isn't she cute??

Ok, so here's the story on the trash. I had a coupon for a free drink from Speedway, so I left a few minutes early to pick up a drink on the way to leaders council at CBS. Well, they only had this sized cup which is roughly equivalent to what a built in pool will hold. So I filled it up and went to give the cashier my "free drink" coupon, only to be told that it had expired. I went ahead and paid for it and left. 

While sitting in CBS leaders council, I picked the swimming pool sized cup up to take a drink only to have the lid break and pop off, the drink drop to the floor, and the contents to shoot up in the air, wash down  my friend Lori's leg, and then splatter all over the carpet. 

So,the good part about my "free drink"? At least it was diet, so no one was sticky. I'm sure it would have tasted good. 

I had actually packed my lunch. But being distracted by leaving early so that I could pick up the above mentioned "free drink" I forgot it sitting on the kitchen counter. Mickey D's was a pitiful substitute. 

Snap crackle poppin' always feels so good!

I love getting mail around the holidays. This is a gift I bought for myself!

And since Christmas is right around the corner, I need to get these gifts finished!!

Merry Christmas, my friends!

And Mary said:

"My soul exalts the Lord,

And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

For He has had regard for the humble state

of His bondslave;

For behold, from this time on

all generations will count me blessed.

For the Mighty One  has done great things for me;

And holy is His name.

And His mercy is upon generation after generation

toward those who fear Him.

He has done mighty deeds with His arm;

He has scattered those who were proud

in the thoughts of their heart.

He has brought down rulers from their thrones,

And has exalted those who were humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things;

And sent away the rich empty-handed.

He has given help to Israel His servant,

In remembrance of His mercy,

As He spoke to our fathers,

To Abraham and his descendants forever."

Luke 1:46-55
