Advents Corner

Whoever says you do not need makeup mirrors in the bathroom should be strung up.  Even if you do not put on makeup you need a good mirror in the bathroom.  I love mine.  I have one that sits on the counter so I can put it anywhere I want.  You have to make sure it has a magnifying side on it though.  Even guys need makeup mirrors, oh yes you do.  When you are up close to someone waiting to go in for that kiss don’t you want to know what she/he sees?  That is what you need the makeup mirror for; you can get right up on it without the counter blocking you.

This landed in my email box from my friend Darla.  I want to thank Darla for sharing this with everyone and I wanted to pass it on to you.  The song is by George Jones and the lyrics are beautiful.  I cried and I do not tear up easily with I get forwards in my email box.  My father-in-law, who I believe is my Dad, served in Vietnam and he is the greatest hero I know.  Not only was he a hero in a time of war but he is a hero to our family.  He is a kind, generous, smart and loving man.  I thank God everyday that he is such a good man and I am so thankful God gave me the priviledge of having him in my life.  Thank you Dad and to all of the men and women that served and still serve today.

I know we all have different opinions on the current war we are waging and the wars we have had in the past.  One thing we must always hold in our heart, is that no matter our feelings about war our feelings for our soilders should never waver.  They fight for us to be able to disagree but one thing we should always agree on is that if it were not for them we would not have the lives we live today.

Today is the moment of truth.  It is voting for the homecoming court at my daughter’s school.  I talked to her about it last night and she said I am not worried about it, if they see my name and they like me they will vote for me there is nothing else I can do at this point.  She said you know how it goes Mom, no matter how many posters or buttons I made it just all comes down to how many people like me.  The results will be announced on Monday and the game is Friday and the dance is Saturday.  I thought that was really all last minute if you ask me but I don’t know.  There are 8 spots on the court for seniors and about 23 girls are running.

I hope things turn out well for her, she is really looking forward to her Daddy escorting her to the game.  If she makes the court then the whole school votes for queen.  I hope she at least gets on the court she is a senior and I think it would be so special for her to make court her last year.  Keep your fingers crossed for her please.

UPDATE:  Voting has begun and Michaela’s name is spelled wrong on the ballot.  They reversed the ae.
