Life as I know it from a Southern girl's point of view.

Up to no good....again.

Well, it seems as if my mouth has gotten me in trouble once again. It has been brought to my attention by those closest to me, including my boss, that I have quite the sharp tongue. Which got me thinking, I wonder if those who know me best have been hurt by something I've said over the course of my life? My best friend has put up with me for 6 years now and has, I'm sure, experienced my razorblade of a tongue. But did she ever say anything about it? My parents, who have known me and all my faults, have I ever hurt my mother by saying something mean? I can think of many times when I have been on the phone with her and snapped at her. So this Christmas, I'm giving all of you a gift....I'm going to shut my mouth for once. I'm going to think before I speak, at least I'll try to. And I'll try not to speak out of emotions. Because that last one seems to get me in the most trouble. Speaking first when my emotions are still raw. I need to take a step back and relax and be slower to speak. After all, the good book says, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up others according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Ephesians 4:29.

Yes, I did it. I quoted the Bible. I think I need to get back in the word. It's been sometime since I have been. I think I need to carry that verse around with me at all times, so that I can make sure what I say benefits those who are listening. Not hurting them or angering them. Hm....definitely food for thought.

On another note, I had two really weird dreams this weekend. I don't know if it was all of the Nyquil that I've been doped up on or what, but I had one Saturday and Sunday that were kinda odd. The first one, I was walking along in a hay field with a guy friend and his mother. Now the strange thing is, I got caught in the hay somehow and couldn't move. My friend's mother is the one who helped me get unstuck. That's the crazy thing, I've never seen her before nor have I met her. Any takers on what that dream means?

And secondly, my other dream was involving a group of women. I was working for them doing some project and this older woman kept telling me what to do. Eventually, I got pissed at her and tackled her and proceeded to beat the living daylights out of her.....

I think I need therapy.....

I hope y'all enjoy my present this year....some of you may have already gotten one from me. If that's the case, Merry Christmas and I hope you like it.

I'm on my way home now.

Rack 'em....I'm out!
