Today was a good day. I walked around Wal-Mart until my hips hurt. I just looked and looked. I could have stayed longer but needed to get home!
It is amazing how people will leave plenty of room in between them and other vehicles once they drive past a 3 car rear-ending. I saw one today and that poor car in the middle got creamed on both ends! The SUV in front did pretty good............one time they come in handy!
Today I made something for a baby shower I have this week. I am super excited at how it turned out and actually have pictures to post but you'll have to wait. I don't know if she ever reads my blog...I doubt it, but better safe than sorry! It is something I would love to do on the side for a little extra cash. It was fun to do! I'd also like to try the different ways of making them. Okay, okay....since I can't say what it is I'll move on.
Move on to what though is the question. I do want to know one thing. I thought a baptism was a "Baptist" thing??? I have a great friend, Mrs. Becca, who is having her daughter baptized this weekend so I was wondering about that being that they are Catholic. I would like to have gone but I cause her enough grief by being her friend. I didn't want to be in the way just in case.
Another question I have. Aren't you supposed to be able to have more than one friend? I go to lunch with different co-workers all the time but does that mean I am "cheating" on the other friend? What the heck is that? I don't think that way. I want to know what you think? Seriously, do lots of people feel that way? I have several best friends but they are best friends in different ways. I have my best friend Tammy from Oklahoma. I can trust her with ANYTHING and she supports me no matter what. She is my go to girl. I have my best friends Leigh and Jen from high school. They are my get together, be myself no matter what because they love me no matter what. We do what we want and don't care about anything! I have my best friend Becca who is a TRUE friend, one who doesn't care what others think of our friendship and who is tough enough to let things fly by without flying off the handle. Mrs. Staci is a GREAT friend that I look forward to getting closer to. Wanda and Melesia are great Margarita Meeting girls! I miss my friend Renee. Don't know if I did something there or I'm just not friend material anymore. Of course there are a few other friends that I wish I saw more or talked to more but that's a two way street. I start to feel that if I am the only one making an effort that maybe it's not worth it to them, ya know? Plus, some people that I think could be great friends may not have the same thing in mind. I'm just glad they are a friend. And I don't mean acquaintances.........I'm talking FRIENDS. People you don't talk about behind their back, people that would do anything for you and you'd do the same, people that you spend time with and so on. There is a difference...........and I don't think some realize it. If I have to tolerate you, you must be an acquaintance. Again no harm meant, just being honest.
I don't know where that all came from but thanks for listening. If I offend you, you choose to come here. You can also choose not to!
In case you read this blog, I miss you mom and I love you!!!!
I LOVE the new layout girlie! So bright and cheery! Great pick for the first day of spring! We'll run throught the baptism thing later. I'm pretty sure it runs though all faiths but ours is one of only a few that practice INFANT baptism...I'll have to double check with J...
ReplyDeleteDitto to what Becca said about the layout. It made me smile when your page opened up!! :-)
ReplyDeleteHere's what little I know about Protestant Baptism...I was "Baptized" as an infant at a Presbyterian church. I was later baptized in a Southern Baptist church as a public profession of accepting Jesus Christ as my Savior. Baptists believe that only those who have professed faith in Christ should be baptised, and that this baptism is only to be done through immersion (dunking). Presbyterians baptize those that have professed faith in Christ and the infants born into a Christian family. At my Presby. baptism, my parents had to profess their faith and also profess that they would raise me according to the teachings of the Bible. Baptism is viewed as a replacement for circumcision. It identifies you with Christians, just as circumcision identified people as Jews in the Old Testament. Just as a Jewish child would be circumcised, and then when he was old enough, he made his own decisions about his beliefs, my parents had me baptized as an infant, knowing that when grew older, I was responsible for where I put my faith. I wish I knew about the Baptismal practices of other religions; I'll have to put that on my list of things to do on the Internet instead of wasting so much time on FB.
Maybe this will answer part of the question about baptism being a "Baptist" thing. :-)
As a horrible Catholic I can only say that I was baptized as an infant and I plan on baptizing Eli when we find a church here I like and will continue to go to.
ReplyDeleteYou skipped one type of friend "the sister in law" :D I miss and love you like crazy woman!!

I also like the layout. I need to change mine I think. I can't wait to see the baby shower gift pictures. I think Baptism is in all faiths as well but I do know Catholics are the ones who seem to take it the most seriously, I mean they have parties for baptism (I remember Leigh having a baptism party). I grew up Lutheran and we were baptized when we were born. I agree, you can have more than one friend and not cheat on the other friend. Sometimes the other friends aren't friend material for each other but that's not a bad thing. You don't have to like everyone, just don't be mean! Ah, Renee...I miss Ren too. We haven't had a Wally Girls Gutierrez's night in about 1 1/2 years. We need to do that again.
