The Penny Saver

Today I actually read the Penny Saver to see if there was anything interesting for sale. I am on the hunt for old pieces of furniture to perform makeover magic on.

I also wanted to see how popular it really was, I mean hello...Craigslist, Ebay, Amazon...

I found this ad:
"Four Books of Morman for sale". They were 30 dollars each.

Now I dont know about the Book of MormAn, but I know some guys who will give anyone interested a Book of MormOn (or four of them if you really want that many) for free. 

I think I am going to stick to online shopping. At the very least there is spell check.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow

there is a good chance I am profoundly and irreversibly screwed up.

And not in a Julia Roberts, bride hitching rides on a fed-ex truck sort of way. In a horribly awful way. 


I watched the news tonight. (Which I usually try to avoid on the days I am sleeping alone)


I saw the earthquake in Japan. I saw that awful giant wave wiping out buildings, and cars, and people. It was painful and my heart sank. And while I definitely feel for those people(especially since Japan will always have an odd special place with me), my heart mostly hurt because I quickly realized that Japan is in the Pacific, and my husband is on a ship that serves the Pacific. A ship that just got home, but could, at any moment, leave again. And now it is quite late and I cant sleep because I am worried that tomorrow may take my husband once again, and nobody understands how terribly difficult it is to live with that kind of stress all the time. 

And now comes the evaluation...how profoundly and irreversibly screwed up is this? how horrible of a person do you have to be to see people dying and mostly think about how your life will be affected? Think about it.

In the meantime, I will get on my knees and pray that the casualties will be few, and those who have been hurt and lost homes and loved ones will feel comfort through this extreme trial. And until I figure out how to not be so screwed up, I will pray to be able to accept whatever tomorrow brings for me as well.
