Kimchi, not for me

to those who thought I had locked them out of my blog. I was tweaking the template, and having a considerably difficult time with it. I managed to screw it up so severely that it would require more time than I had at the time, so I temporarily locked down the blog so I had time to fix it without it looking all wonky.

There's that, and then I had a very sudden and very unpleasant bout of sickness this evening. I was actually on the phone with a friend, and it hit me suddenly. Besides being unpleasant, it was quite unexpected. I am fairly allergic to onions and garlic, but I had neither of those recently, so I don't know what the issue was.

In other news, thanks to MySpace, I've been reunited with an old friend from junior high school. We were best friends for two years, and then I turned all Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. I treated this poor girl horribly. I tried to track down her email a few times over the years, but never could find it. Then I thought I had it about half a year ago and emailed her, apologizing for how I had acted and asking her forgiveness. I heard nothing back, and then today got a friend request on myspace, and we've been exchanging email via myspace this afternoon. It is so refreshing to see how well she is doing, and refreshing as well to know that she has forgiven me. She's actually in Jacksonville, so I plan on meeting up with her sometime. It'll be exciting.

Today was really the first day of work for me. Between yesterday and today, I managed to sit down and figure out a workable plan to get the kids caught up and finished in their schooling by the end of the year. I felt pretty overwhelmed about mid-day, trying to keep all the different schooling schedules straight in my head, along with the chore assignments/schedules, who has youth group when, soccer practice, and whether or not there is a car available to take the children to their specific activity.

But...are you ready for some AMAZING news? Mrs. Debbi is buying a car for me. Like for real, for me...is going to put it in my name (eventually, will stay in hers for awhile to get an insurance discount). We're going to get it tomorrow. It's a 1999 Buick Regal with only 45,000 miles on it. It was a one-owner car - an old man, even - so supposedly everything is in awesome condition. It just astounds me. She told me that she has bought a car for all of her children, and it was really something God had placed on her heart to do for me. I'll be sure to post pictures!

Anyway, it's late, and I need to head to bed here shortly. Love you all! And sorry for the locked-out confusion!
