I'm at work...waiting for the last client to leave *yawn* and I'm feigning for a Sonic BLT. mmmm *yawn* Well this blog is about nothing, just so you know.

I started my day with a smile on my face. I mean after all, it was a day the Lord made, so shouldn't I be glad about that? I was. I finished a shirt I've been working on (I'll put up some pics of my recent creations soon), tried on a new skirt (thanks Cece's Closet) and headed out. I went to NES (the electric co.) because I needed to get my electricity turned on in my new apartment. Oh yea, I have a new apt folks. I'm thrilled. I LOVE it. It's yellow and pretty...and huge. So I'm down at NES and look around...if you wanna see some scary people and rude "customer service agents", apparently you can just stop by that place and have a seat. I was waiting for the lady to call me so she could have a copy of my license. I was sitting across from a lady who was YELLING at another lady.

"AREN'T YOU RUTH ANN'S GRANDMOTHER. YOU REMEMBER ME? I'M WILLIE JEAN'S NIECE, SARA'S SISTER?"

The woman replied "CAN'T HEAR YOU."

And so lady number one (Yup, Willie Jean's niece and Sara's sister) thought it necessary to talk louder.

Behind the RUDE YELLING LADY sat two men who were talking equally as loud in a language I couldn't identify. Next to them was a lady who was bent on giving NES a piece of her mind.

"My bill was 392 dollars and 87 cents. I bet I ain't payin it. Who is this callin me? Don't they know I'm busy. Who is these numbers callin me?!"

The lady continued on her pointless rant about how her bill was 392.87 and some unidentified caller just had to talk to her. Apparently that caller had no idea who he or she was calling, otherwise, he or she may have wanted to try a new form of communication. So anyway this lady then randomly asks a guy sitting nearby what his name was.

"Anthony" he replied.

"Ohhh I HATE Anthony's. They don't bring nothing but bad news."

$392.87 lady went on to tell the ENTIRE building about how she has had horrible experiences with Anthony's and Walters, and how she hates all of them. At this point I wanted to tell Sara's sister to shut the front door. I wanted to tell Anthony to stop entertaining $392.87 over here. And I wanted to tell $392.87 to stop using the f-word 10 times in each sentence, sit back, and figure out how she's gonna [pay that bill so she can see at night. You know what I did? I pulled out my bible and read a Proverb that I've never read before.

Proverb 2 is about wisdom. Check it out when you can. It tells us that we should seek understanding like silver.

A few of my fav verses:

Proverbs 2:6-10

For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up success for the upright; He is a shield for those who live with integrity so that He may guard the paths of justice and protect the way of His loyal followers.

A few more of my favs

Proverbs 2:20, 21

So follow the way of good people, and keep to the paths of the righteous. For the upright will inhabit the land, and those of integrity will remain in it

Won't the Lord put you in some situations that REQUIRE you to pull out your weapon?
