Celebrating Tuesday!

My friend Jon told me this morning that we should celebrate just because it’s Tuesday. So what am I celebrating this Tuesday? Well…

It’s payday! And not just any payday: it’s the payday where the raise I got 2 months ago FINALLY went into effect, including retro pay back to February 11.
Because of the extra money from the retro pay, I [...]

Fear

Inspired by Liz’s post on praying at IHOP.
