what not to do

Last week I was packing up an event for my job with KiddieCorp. I forgot I had scissors, so I went to tear the packing tape with my teeth and the tape got stuck on my lip. I tore the tape off my lip tearing the top layer of skin. My lip began to bleed and then began to heal itself over the next week. I looked like I had a cold sore and it hurt like heck. The next time I pack boxes the tape will not go anywhere near my lips.

**Moral of the story - Never tear packing tape with your teeth**

women's retreat

This weekend I went to the women's retreat with my church at the Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrieta Hot Springs. It was a wonderful experience. The theme was a weekend of praise. We learned to praise our Lord no matter what trials or tribulations we may be facing.

"I will praise you, o Lord, with all my heart, I will glorify your name forever." Psalm 86:12

leftovers

I love making tacos for dinner, because there are so many things you can make with the leftovers. My favorite is taco salad. What do you do with your leftovers?

I came home one night and look what Tommy had left me...the kernals. He knows this is my favorite part of a bowl of popcorn. :)

Union Tribune

On Thursday, July 31st I volunteered to build a KaBOOM! playground at an elementary school. My picture was in the local newspaper on Saturday, August 2 on page E6 (the article begins on the front page). I was on the team in charge of moving mulch...Fun times!
