Sunny Saturday Mornings

Yesterday morning I was secretly hoping someone would send me something in the mail. Getting a package that you didn't get is always the best. 

I knew it wouldn't happen; people don't send me boxes "because they are thinking of me" and I am really bad at sending things to people because "I was thinking of them."

The mail came in, and my box from target was there, more dry shampoo for me! I didn't even bother looking at the rest of the boxes. Ten minutes later on of my office mate asked if I wanted my mail, I, of course, took it and there was a box! A non-target box! I opened it, and an Ipad mini was in this box, brand-new iPod mini. With a sticky that said, "you won our drawing! Sorry it took me so long to get this to you." 

WHAT?!!?!?? 

This makes me so happy!! I know that I didn't enter this drawing. I am pretty sure I got entered when my co-worker told this company, "Call Becky! She will want this product!" when he was at a conference. --Don't worry, he was right, I readily did want their product, this iPad feels like a double-win!

I feel so special. I won a prize! A good prize! An iPod mini 3! Brand new! That is worth over $300.00! The day that I was wishing someone would send me something special as a surprise in the mail. 

I downloaded a new game on it last night. I played in until 2:00 am. I found a good (hopefully) case for it and bought it eBay today. (ps yesterday my boss was saying that buying things on eBay is like having a myspace account--who does that anymore?---I LOVE eBay, I buy things from there often, I feel old fashion, but who doesn't like cheap stuff? And then I don't have to use Amazon!) 

For about a month now I knew that I had to re-set-up my auto tithe payment, but I just couldn't remember my log-in and just didn't do it and didn't do it.

 Finally today, I took the time and figured out how. I feel so accomplished in doing things like that. I didn't really take me that much effort. I sat on my bed, with my computer in front of me the whole time. But I am so good at putting those things off that when I actually take the time to do what I need to do, it feels like a big deal. And I am so thankful that I am officially tithing again. I didn't like that I wasn't giving my money to God's ministry simply due to laziness, it was eating away at me a little bit. 

I feel like I have been doing good these last couple of days. We have had a few people over at our house, and I think it is good for me to have people over every once in a while. I have been in thinking and writing mode (hence all the blog post this week) and sitting and writing is so good for me. It makes me feel alive, heard and gives me more confidence in the day-to-day. 

I have been sitting in my back patio and the sun has been really really bright, and I think all that vitamin E is also good for me. 

I hope that you are having a good Saturday, I hope that you get to sit in the sun and drink coffee. That has really made my today special for me!
