My current guilty pleasure is 100 ounces of Diet Pepsi. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) my closest Sheetz Store doesn't have the Fizz City where I can add vanilla or lemon to my Diet Pepsi, but I take a few of the True Lemon packets and fill it up. First time I took this to RCIA, I asked the lady beside me if she could see the priest around the mug. The smaller mug is only 52 ounces. To fill up the larger one, it costs between 94 cents and $1.16 depending on where you go. My boyfriend bought me this mug at Christmas for $9.99 (first fill free) in Alabama. They aren't sold in my area and people are always commenting on my huge mug when I fill it up.

I was in Wal-Mart looking at a shirt that said "Lucky" on Saturday. Not only is that the name of my guinea pig, but I enjoy entering contests and giveaways and have won several times. It seemed like a good "uniform" for next time I go to the national sweepstakes convention. As I was looking at it, a lady came up to my boyfriend and me and offered to give us the shirt we were looking at. It was only $5, and she didn't want to bother returning it! How cool is that?

I am gathering supplies to start on a cross stitch project of Micah 6:8. It only says "Do Justice. Love Mercy. Walk Humbly." But it's beautiful. I figured I needed something to keep me busy after losing my mother. Things have been crazy. I wonder if life will ever get back to normal, and I learned there were a lot of lies told about me to my mother. I wish I could talk to my mother one more time.

Twice this week my boyfriend have eaten dinner at the Catholic Church 10 miles away. The churches in that town rotate a free meal for anyone who wants to come every week. It ensures that everyone in the community has a hot meal once a week. There is a donation basket if you want to help with expenses and aren't needy, so it's a social time. Tonight we went and had their annual Lenten Fish dinner. For $8 we got a huge piece of fish on a sub roll, fries, stewed tomatoes, cole slaw, punch, and dessert. Well worth the $8. Plus it is even served to you -- no cafeteria style line, very much like a restaurant. And I saw my high school youth group choir leader there.

We had to buy a new stove/oven. The glass cooktop on ours broke. My mother won it in a contest a few years back. It had been overheating since it broke and I didn't feel it was safe. The delivery man was a distant cousin. I pulled out the copies of photos I made for my mother's funeral and in one of them was my mom with his dad when they were about 10 years old. I gave it to him as a tip since it was a copy and I had the original.

My boyfriend has taken to calling one of my fingernails "your gouger". I tell him it's a useful tool. He is threatening me with fingernail clippers. I told him it's only a matter of time until it tears.

Life has been extremely hard for my boyfriend and me since my mom passed. Please keep us in prayer. And since life has been hard, I don't have a lot to write about at the moment, so I'll leave you with asking you to stop by my blog giveaway where I'm giving away to two winners -- each winner receives 2 coupons for Dial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap.
