For Those That Wondered, Here's SHARING 500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Heather]

As someone who grew up with a 6'5" dad, I have an uncommon sense of what 'tall' actually means. Mini - would be tall. Brandon who is around 5'10"ish = not tall. lol

3 weeks from classes starting and I'm still tweaking my schedule. Had an online Spanish 1 class but an opening popped up in a very well reviewed English 1020 class on Tues/Thurs. Just means I'll have to cut my vacation a day short. Oh no. [said sarcastically as I know I'll be ready to push my family over the 9th floor balcony].

I'm still feeling the effects of my sunburn. Sheesh.

With 22,000 people in the crowd, I'm sure I won't see you.  But if you see a 6' 4" bald yeti, that's probably me.

Well we could intentionally meet you know! lol

I thought you were taller. My brother is taller than you. He's 6' 6".

I can promise you, you might find a taller man- but you won't find an uglier one.

You have never met my brother...lol

Ah, the wonder years of the old Godplace chatroom. Those were the days! I was probably 16 or so when I started around those parts. Wish I could say I was going to NAYC but I don't even think anyone from my church's youth group is going :/

Things have been pretty hectic. My BF passed a test that'll hopefully help him get a job he wants. He'll probably take a month off then start applying to various places. Trying to get a decent job in the field he wants is disheartening sometimes. They only want certain types of people and certain ages

I love shopping for my school books online. Just found my sociological research book that rents for $102 in the bookstore for 10.99 [shipping included] on Amazon. Yay!!

I've been following the NAYC15 hashtag on IG. It makes me sad. I only was able to attend Charlotte in 2007. It was an awesome time indeed. [minus who my company was.]

[Roscoe]

 So not my day. Just got home and discovered that the a/c  fan motor we have been hoping would last through the summer- didn't. No telling what that will cost me...

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Yikes! Bad time for the air to be out.

[Lynx]

That's the upside of wall AC units. A new Frigidaire that is powerful enough to keep the whole attic tolerable in the dead of summer (15,000 BTU) was only $150 at Lowes. Repair alone on a central heat and air unit would be well over that.

[Roscoe]

Well. The diagnoses of the a/c unit confirmed what Robbie and I had both suspected. The moter was not long for this world. The a/c guys are gone to pick up the new motor- I'm praying they have it. If not, if they can get the proper size I can make mounting tabs for it.....
And last night coming back from church I hit the brakes on Lou's car which I never drive. I was rewarded by the sound of a machine shop coming from the right front brake- lots of grinding. Her response-"Oh yeah, I meant to tell you the brakes were making a funny noise".
Lord- yes, they were. Metal on metal. Fortunately it doesn't appear to have harmed the rotor badly. As much as I like southern Gospel music, the song that comes to mind is contemporary- Casting Crowns "Praise you in this Storm".
I am thanking God for His blessings and for giving me what we need.

[MelodyB]

You failed to mention the lives you took when you slammed on said brakes.

[Lynx]

That would be the storm in question.

[Roscoe]

 I didn't take any lives over it. Mainly 'cause Lou was closer to the family Glock in the console than I were...
Anyway- all is good. The brakes are repaired, the a/c is working and has dropped the temp in the house from 90 degrees to 88 in just 15 minutes, and the total damage for both catastrophic events was under $350, which the emergency fund covered. While I don't enjoy spending that money, it is there for that purpose, and I'm thankful to have had it. Been times in my life I'd have had to sweat under a fan and hope the Flintstone method of stopping worked. Thank God for His provision..

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Glad things are working again, Roscoe.

[Lynx]

The family Glock... what a concept. Now I'm suddenly wondering what the family ritual is when it comes time to pass it on to Chey. 

[Heather]

I've enjoyed keeping track of pictures from NAYC this year via Instagram.

Had lunch with my mom yesterday which didn't go as badly as I thought it would. She genuinely seems to kinda miss me.

Brandon goes back to work today after having 3 days off. Good thing too. He's ate almost all our food again. He's a bored eater. And this was not a paycheck week for us. It's going to be lots of spaghetti this weekend.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

It's hot here.

[Roscoe]

Here too. Like 102 hot. I need to mow the church yard and finish mowing my yard, but my lord...I wonder if it'll be a bit cooler in an hour or two?

[Heather]

It's raining here.

[mini]

What a youth congress!!!!

[Lynx]

This is what Bobby hears every day...

[Roscoe]

Just got up. Hungry. Don't know what to eat..

[MsJennJenn]

What a youth congress!!!!

Yes. There are no words.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

House full of company today. Tired.

[Heather]

Awesome service this morning.

Dinner is in the crockpot for when Brandon has 'lunch' tonight. He goes into work shortly. Was trying to decide whether to go to the pool or to hammock this afternoon. I think my hammock has won as the sky is looking like it may fallout soon. Laundry is going too.
