Today's post is overnight,l so I'm taking two days. Got up this morning and went to water aerobics. The new girl, Roxanne, is kinda ditzy and not as focused as Nicole. Still she's there, she has her own game plan, and just because she does her aerobics differently, doesn't mean they're any less valid. The classes are certainly worth getting up for on Saturday mornings.

Thought I'd hook up with Pam and run some errands, but she never answered her phone. I went up to Target and found three bras (see tomorrow's post), none of which fitted the way I wanted them to when I got home. Then I went down to Whole Foods to get some Indian, then went back to the church because I felt bad that only a few little old ladies were there. Yeah, they were there, but to me it looked like they were helping themselves to the food. They were piling up boxes of food, eating rib dinners, packing up food to go, and steadily charging the matriarch of the church $0.75 for a soda, or telling her there were no more ribs and then putting them on the plate they were going to take home. While I understand people might want a little something something for working on that lot all day, they need to be clear whether they're working for God or for Ribs. They can't work for both. I think much of the congregation sees the hoarding of food (or the lack of accountability with the proceeeds) and that's why no one supports them any more.

It was very sad for me to see because every one of the ladies working the lot showed swelling of the ankles and other extremities. That indicates at least mild heart failure, yet they come out week after week, unhealthy in body (so who knows the status of their minds and spirits), endeavoring to do things they believe will upbuild the Kindgom --- except the Scriptures say Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and HIS Righteousness, and all else will be added unto you. I can't help but think that if we sought God's face IN OUR DECISION MAKING, that perhaps God would have some input into our decisions.

So anyway, I already took my Ambien and am half asleep. If you read this blog before I came back and edited it, you know that. But I made a slammin scramble with 3 slices of ham, EVOO, fried up the ham and threw in onions til they gave up their sweat. Blended some egg whites and some soymilk til it started to bubble, but not too much. Kept the fire hot, and poured the eggs into the meat mixture. Let set briefly, then scrambled so it didn't set completely. When they'd cooked, blended in cherry cheese. When this had blended in, garnished it with aaiago/parmesan blend. Added hot sauce and red pepper to taste. When done, heated up a small tortilla. Put chipotle mayo on it, and then put the egg mixture on it. Garnish it with hot sauce, rolled it up and ate it. Worked for me...
