Grassy Toes & A Little Bit of Greece

I just got in from mowing the lawn. YUCK! Now I am all covered in bits and pieces of grass. I hate it so much. Today is my day off though and Jonathan works an over night tonight, so someone has to cut the tall grass.
Anyways I always want to come on here with something interesting to say, but I don't have anything interesting to share. As for work I am still working for Merle Norman. I love it just as much as I said I did in the last post when I talked about it. There is this new girl named Evelyne who joined Merle Norman staff, she just moved here from Greece. Isn't that amazing? Considering I love greek good. She is going to bring some greek food to work for me someday. I am so excited to see what she makes for me. We get along great! She can make baklava! Which is one of my favorite treats!
I am craving baklava right now, but don't feel like going downtown to get some. I have been focusing more so on refraining from my sweet tooth cravings and also foods that aren't so healthy. I've yet to BBQ this summer which kind of sucks, because I love the smell of food being cooked on the BBQ.
As for my writing side of me I haven't really gotten down in front of my laptop or book and write anything. I just draw a blank.
Well I can't bare being on here any longer with all this grass between my toes. Because YES I mowed the lawn with my flip flops on. A big no no for next time I have to do it. Plus, I only came on here to see if my fellow blogger buddy Dave, whom I talk about sometimes has recently posted anything. Just waiting and waiting.
Well I am going to clean my grassy feet now. Have a good day everyone :)

Working At Merle Norman

I've been working at Merle Norman for about two and a half weeks now. It is very nice and a comfortable atmosphere. I am learning so much! I never did know how to wax at all now I take care of a plethora of the customers walking into Merle Norman. I did get taught on some make-up application, although being trained on that breezed by once they realized I did not need much training as make-up is my main thing that I've always known to do. I do not need to know to cleanse, tone, moisturize then prime your face before a daily make-up application like most newbee's do. I have made it my business to know everything there is to know about make-up and skin care. I am really happy that even though I did not get a first pay yet, I am still kept in money as we do get tips, $2 here $3 there or after the charge $10.50 and then giving 3 $5 bills or a $20 bill we're often times to keep the change. It is nice to have those tips, because half the time I do not feel like making lunch the night before or even in the morning, because I am spending time with my daughter for the most part in my evenings, as for trying to make a lunch in the morning, I just can't. I feel sick first thing in the morning when I smell food. I never did eat breakfast right away. I had to wait until it was at least 10 or 11 am, so trying to be around food in the morning just for the sake of myself having a lunch wouldn't be good for my weak stomach.
I must say I don't mind the perks of working there as well, we get 50% off in the store, and I was willing to pay, but I got my co-worker Hisie to wax my brows as they have grown a lot in two weeks and I was not charged, because we did not take away from any customers as it was a slow period of the day. Now had I been on a day off and came in for a waxing, I'd most likely have to pay, but with my 50% off it is a win win. I must say of all the jobs I've ever had, I love this one the most. I know I was good in sales for call centres, but it was not my thing and neither was working in dollar stores, restaurants etc. I hated it all, even though I did well at it. I never loved it, like I love my job now. I am surrounded by the stuff I've always loved, MAKE-UP & SKIN CARE PRODUCTS.

Say No To Sex Before Marriage (Wish I Had)

If only time machines really existed, then I would turn back time just to undo the day when I gave up my purity for the sake of my 'first love.'
Yes I know people say not to regret anything you do, but when it comes to myself and faith in Jesus, especially since fornicating is a sin, and it hurts him when we disobey the commandments, but, yet we do it willingly it hurts me as well. Because just giving it up at all leads into temptation, because once you drink the kool-aid, you always end up wanting more. Once my purity was gone and I was no longer with the person whom I gave it to of being with off and on dating of 5 years. It breaks you when you think giving it up will keep you bound together, but then when you gave into it all and have the lustful cravings then it leads into possibly being rushed into another relationship out of convenience for the sake of sexual reasons. I am not proud of my actions and just from giving it all up and the amount of people I have been with is unspeakable and I will not post it on here.
I am just sad that I even gave it up to begin with, because not only did I pretty much disrespect my creator, but it also shows to him that I did not trust in him to provide for me the right person to marry, so I took actions into my own hands, and handled my own desires, instead of relying on him.
I am sorry for my actions from way back then and am very repentant about it all, but nothing can ever take the 'act,' itself away. I am just so very thankful that I have a forgiving God who washed all my sins away and loves me regardless of my sins and accepts me with open arms.
I beg of all you younger generation girls, and guys to not give into your 'feelings,' as much as it may seems right at the time. It makes it a whole lots different and better when you wait for the one that you are to marry. It has burdened me from the very day I chose to give it away like it was of little value. No matter how much your friends razz you and bug you to do it, just don't care what they think, because not all friends are there in about 5 years from that point. Life changes and all you should worry about what anyone thinks is Jesus, family and yourself.
Please stay away from lust. I wish I had, then maybe I wouldn't be so emotional all the time feeling bad about the things I have done. All I can be happy about it that through Jesus' forgiveness that with him I can all things through him and he strengthens me daily.
