Time to find some blessings and count them, FAST...

I will never complain about my buttergirl job again.
Or all the crap I went through to find a husband.

I will, however, complain that my cell phone battery just died again. It was fully charged yesterday, and I've made exactly no calls since then. Apparently, my phone is just tired and has given up.

I'll be shopping for a new phone this afternoon, so if you're a T-Mobile person and LOVE your phone, tell me all about it - I'm open to suggestions!

I'm very amused by the Muslim speed dating (or speed courting, whatever you want to call it). I think enough desperation exists in Christian circles for that to be popular in churches too.

I went to a Baptist college, and there was a professor there who taught a required freshman class and who had a side job of selling diamonds (very lucrative for a Christian college professor). On the first day of class, he would pick out a male student at random and give him $50 to take out a female student in the class in the hopes that an engagement ring might come of it a couple years later.

I do not miss that place or its bizarre focus on matrimony! :)

Stacy - omigosh, that is the most bizarre marketing strategy I've ever heard of! "Here's $50 - if it works out, buy your diamond from me!"

Bizarre focus on matrimony.

Well said Stacy.

My phone has been doing the same thing. It SUCKS!

I wish someone would pay ME 50 bucks to go on a date!

Yep - Meg caught on to my strategy...I wore out my phone battery fielding all those 1800 make-me-popular calls.

And I feel very, very special :)
