Eyeroll

I enjoyed last night's Idol results show and was glad to see I was close on the bottom 3! That may be a first. But I do have to say that the guest group scared me. I appreciated their obvious musical talent, but the singer looked petrified. And his method of screaming at me that Jesus was on the main line did NOT make me want to call Him up and tell Him what I want. I do love that song though. I especially enjoy the GVB version where Mark Lowry sticks his shoe in Bill's face while they sing it. I prefer to be entertained rather than scared while listening to music.

But anyway, here's my Bekah moment for the day - to which I have no response OTHER than a giant eyeroll at myself. Monday I mailed a whole bunch of stuff, including a letter to a friend of mine. An encouragement letter. Never written to her before, hoped it would be a good thing...went on with my day.

Later, I decided to mail my Mary Kay payment check to my friend Marie who had so graciously allowed me to take the new mineral powder foundation and mail the check after payday. I distinctly remembered writing the check, tearing it out of the book, putting it on the desk, and I thought for SURE I'd packed it in my work bag to mail that day. I had the envelope but no check. So I thought perhaps I'd just forgotten it at home. I checked when I went home that evening....desk was empty. At that point I did the only logical thing I knew to do. I blamed Braeya. I figured she stole it and I'd have to turn over all the furniture to find it.

And then today I got an email from my letter friend. She thanked me for the kind words and inquired about the check enclosed in the envelope.

Way to go, Bekah.

Eyeroll.

I think one time when I was paying bills, I accidentally switched the checks around between two companies. So neither one got paid on time, and I had to pay penalties. After that I handled only one bill at a time: Look at the amount, write the check, put it in the envelope with the proper paperwork, and seal it up.

At least your friend won't charge you late fees!

On Idol, I thought Jason should have gone home. He was boring. I guess he must have a lot of girls who don't care about boring and just think he's cute.

And you're right about that guest band. They were creepy. Jesus doesn't need creepy guys singing for Him. OK, maybe He does, so He can reach the creepy people who need Him. Sigh!

And Dolly's voice is losing its former quality. She sounded flat last night.

Ugh! Now I sound like one of those grumpy people who's never happy with anything.

Skyepuppy - Did either of the companies cash the wrong check you sent? I only ask because one of my friends accidentally sent her tithe check to her credit card company one time and they actually cashed it! I didn't think they could do it, but they did!

And for the record, I don't think you're grumpy. Maybe Simon is just rubbing off on all of us?

Please let me know when you intend to do that again, and I'll request an encouraging letter from you. :)

LOL! I have never done that before, but that's something that you would see in a movie. The movie Atonement did that. The guy sent the wrong letter and it was disasterous!

Cara - I haven't tried it yet! (How bad am I?) I'm OCD enough that I have to finish what I"m using before I start something new, and I still have some liquid foundation left. I will tell you that i'm EXTREMELY nervous about it. I need ALL the help I can get and I'm nto sure this is going to be enough. But when I do try it, I'll let you know. are you a mary kay girl?

Kristin -Oh I can send you a letter. But i've learned my lesson on the check! so sorry. :D

Sarah - I'm sure it shocks you to know I've not seen Atonement. WOuld it scare me?

OK--I think you're referring to the Clark Brothers, right? They won the Next Great American Band, much to my dismay. I wanted Denver & the Mile High Orchestra to win. Anyway, I'm glad you think they're creepy. Makes me feel better about not liking them since I'm biased toward DMHO. I walked down the aisle with Denver at our best friends' wedding. The bride is my best friend, the groom is his. :)

oh THAT was the show they were on! I never got to see it - I think maybe it was on during Bible study night or something, but I remember reading on Kari's blog about voting for them. And my friend Jenny loves Denver's band's music. I hear that he once did the music at our church (before all of that) for a revival, and I know I was at that one....but I sure don't remember it. I feel bad about that!

See this is what I hate. He probably did an amazing job of the music during the services and I remember nothing. BUt had he screamed at me that Jesus was on the mainline, I'd never have forgotten. It's not right!

Yes, I love Mary Kay. My mom sells it and I get good deals =) But I'm waiting for the mineral foundation...they just have mineral powder right now. I hope it's like the baremineral stuff. I want to get their new highligting stuff since summer is coming up!
