Ol' Candace

Here is my sis, Candi.  I love this picture!  I picked her up for Easter, and, of course, she wanted to bring her hat.  My sister is quite the young lady.  She loves life.  It is rare when she is unhappy and is very funny.  She always cracks me up!  She calls me sweetheart and honey, and she has her own  vocabulary.  Here are some Candi "isms":



Hockay=okay
Pine=fine
Yummies=chips
Hom=ham
Olls=rolls
It's a box!=any present she gets
Cack=cake
Fra=bra (one of my faves--
I fell over the first time she said it!)
--as you can see, food is important!--

Some phrases she always says are:
"Good to see you back"  "Where ya been?" and "It's OK" (this is no in Candace speak)

She is way too cute.  I love her very much.  I am blessed to have her in my life to teach me simplicity, appreciation, and sheer unconditional love.

Complaining is not an option!!

OK.  I must admit today was not one of my better days.  My class was great, but other things contributed to it.  I feel like I've become a complainer.  I very much dislike complainers!  Don't get me wrong--there is a vast difference between venting to a friend and just complaining.  Venting is A-OK when you have a friend you can completely trust (and you know who you are, thanks girls!), but when you complain about stuff to more than one person, that is not cool.  I might have done that a smidge today.  I am really feeling bad about it.  But--I've made amends with myself, asked forgiveness, and made a vow--

NO MORE COMPLAINING!!

Now I've said my peace, go back to what you were doing.  Thank you.
