So THAT"S Why They Have That Reputation

It's a 103 degrees today.  I don't have to tell you the misery that can bring.  So I did what any respectable grumpy person enduring weather equivalent to sitting under a car hood would do.  I went to the mall.  I've been trying to decide if a suit is necessary for the jobs I've been applying for.  I found a freakin' STEAL at Banana Republic and went ahead and bought it.  Just as I was swiping my card, the cashier said enough to convince me that my desired field more than likely does not require a personality-stifling suit.  Good work, girl.  I'll prob return it in a few.

Now, I'm sitting in my favorite the only Starbucks for miles, trying to ignore the guy next to me who is enjoying his asiago bagel with such vigor, I can hear his lip-smacking excitement from here.  GROSS, dude!

I don't know where this mood is coming from.  Well, I guess I have an idea.  But geeze-Marie!  I'm not sure I would want to be around me in my current state.  And, well, the bagel guy is lucky I don't know his name.

Ecclesiastes 7:9 says,  Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.  Ian is so lucky I found that verse while I wait to pick him up from school.  He probably would have seen the wrath that the bagel guy was spared.  But I don't want to look foolish.

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31.


I think today I will just rest under the shade of that wing...
