Well Said

Whelp, I'm at work right now...on a Sat. yuck! But the good thing is I get paid not only weekend shift diff, but also evening shift diff! Talk about a big check! But I'm like Pazzo, change my name to Ficca any day and I'll be good to go!
Anyho, I went to the homeless thing today. I woke up really super late! All I remember is the phone ringing like 5 times, and then I finally heard Leigh Ann's voice, saying something like, "we're waiting on you." I was like Holy Friholies! So I jumped out of bed and got ready in a flash. I managed to make it in time to help cook some of the burgers. And let me just tell you, I smelled like not only homless, but like a smoking, homeless, nasy, yuck! UH! But it's all good. I went home and took a shower, but I can still smell it. =o/
M'kay, now to the meat of this blog. I have been talking about relationships all week long here at work. Just kinda opinions that I have and things like that. There are a couple girls up here that think I keep passing up good opportunities. They tell me I make excuses on why I'm not dating this or that person. I told them it just doesn't feel right, and I'm holding out for that ONE person God has for me. They think I'm full of crap! I keep telling them I'm not looking for Mr. Perfect...just Mr. Perfect FOR ME. (Of course I have to realize that these girls have dated umpteen million guys...and just becasue you have all this dating experience doesn't mean you have discernment.) Well anyway....I get to work today to find a secret message in my locker. Here is what the message said:

In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question, "What kind of man are you looking for?" She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking. "Do you really want to know?" Reluctantly, he said, "Yes." She began to expound...As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man...or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?" The man looked at her. Clearly he thought she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life." He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain. She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving foe perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man." I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked...believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster. I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden. I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking car of business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself. When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, "You're asking a lot." She replied, "I'm worth a lot."

Sounds like someone is trying to root me on...but anonymously? hum.....I am extremely appriciative though. =o)

Who ate the cheesecake?

My name is Melissa Griffin, and I am a cheescake theif! When me and Amal were at the luncheon the other day, we thought it would be nice to bring a couple slices of cheesecake back to the lab for everyone. Well it got to be kinda...later in the day...and there was still one slice left. As you all know I've been working really hard at my diet, but I fell into temptation, I ate the cheesecake. So I get to work yesterday and immediatly they rush over to me exlaiming that someone had eaten the last piece! I play dumb and say who? They don't know! The whole day I hear about how someone ate the slice! I can't confess now...it's too late! What do I do? They are accusing the housekeeper now and taunting her with other pieces of cake!! AHH!! This is almost as bad as my dead Grandma fiasco!!!

Say Heave Ho to Ho Hum!

I swear my life IS a Seinfield episode. Monday I went to mail everyone's checks for the Song of Solomon conference, and I was really excited about so many people wanting to go. I threw that envelope in the mailbox with confidence! Only to realize a split second later....I forgot the stamp!!!!!! AHH!! And this HAD to be postmarked today!! So what did I do you ask....I found out what time the postman usually picks up and waited...and waited.....aanndd waited. Luckily the mailbox was right outside my "office" area. So the postman came and he was SO nice! He looked through every piece of mail and of course mine was the last one he picked up! I slapped that stamp on, and breathed a sign of relief! WHEW!
On a different note, last week I volunteered to be co-captain for the 'Race for the Cure' team at my work, and we had a nice luncheon yesterday. Me and my co-worker, Amal made some great contacts. What a good way to meet people. Esp if your looking for a job. Slowly drop hints here and there and you have yourself a contact! But anyway I actually met a very nice lady who used to go to church at Village, in faact she was in my Dad's Sunday School Class. Right when I said my last name, she went crazy...good crazy. She said mt parents and he were the best of friends, which I thought was very neat. =o)
Anyho, I better get back to this weeks episode of Seinfield. Check back later for more adventures of Grandma G!! ;o)

Holy Hebrew

Well me and Amy T and Rich went walking today. It was fairly windy outside. Some dude jumped out from a bush and scared the living Hebrew out of me! Amy and Rich just laughed b/c it was really nothing. Then Rich came up and we chatted for a couple hours about the Sunday School class. Only good things of course, and how we can make things better.
Anyway I'll keep this short cuz I have to sceedaddle off to work. But I'll come back and write more later. =o)
