change of plans...
I was going to get on here today and post all about our 3 day weekend, the fact that it was our 5th anniversary and how we didn't celebrate in style, but instead cleaned out not only our garage, but our living room, kitchen, both bathrooms, both bedrooms, about 5 closets and a shitload of drawers. This place is Spic'n-span... but instead all I'm gonna say is that today "I'm giving my paise to the lord"
A VERY dear friend of mine's mama is getting a new kidney today and in light of this blessing, nothing else seems even remotely as important. It's all about the prayers for Miss Shirley! How I love this woman. Miss Shirley will crack you up. And that daughter of hers is just about the most special woman I have ever called my friend. LaRonza is so much more than my "ex-supervisor," she is a true friend. She's someone who hired me in spite of the fact that during my first interview with her, I started crying when I told her a story about Oprah Winfrey. It's a wonder she didn't think I was "all kinds of crazy" and send me on my way, but just one week later she called me up to hire me. Little did I know then that my world was about to change for the better in so many different ways. I can honestly say that in the almost 2 years I worked for LaRonza, there was not ONE day that I dreaded going to work. I actually looked forward to being there and some days actually couldn't wait to get there. Who wouldn't want to go to work knowing that your day would be filled with nothing but laughter, laughter at the most silly of things. No matter what was going on in the world there wasn't a day that went by when she and I didn't crack ourselves up. I made her laugh, she made me laugh and we just clicked. Like the time she got that chain-email with photo attached, you know the one where the "aborigine" is lifting about 200lbs of concrete by his balls, yeah that one. Well, we had no idea what was coming our way, and when that picture popped up on her computer screen, I've never seen someone get up from their chair so fast and run out of the room screaming like that. I laughed so hard that I fell to the floor and pee'd my 41 year old self right there in our office. God, that was funny. She's a trooper too; I mean, listening to me "babble on" on day after day about nothing, that takes a special person. LaRonza has the greatest of work ethic of anyone I know, this girl is strong. She takes care of her business, and for that I respect the living crap outta her. I love this girl more than she'll ever know. LaRonza just has the most positive spirit, she builds people up, she's a motivater, an encourager and for that I just love her. I'm a better person for having known her and I miss her like crazy. There has been many times I wondered if the changes we made in our lives by moving away were worth it. I've regretted leaving that job so many times, but realize it didn't have anything to do with the job itself, it was the relationship I had with LaRonza and her family that makes me feel regretful. They all became like family to me and TL. And these two ladies deserve more than a new kidney for Shirley, they deserve the world in my eyes. So today all my energy is rooting for Shirley...
And, if you have it in your heart, please send your prayers towards Fort Worth, Texas today. It's all about Miss Shirely!!
