An sfb for all...

My favorite Halloween candles

My own nail broke at bootcamp

I know, these pictures are kind of gross.  I've been trying to decorate for Fall/Halloween this week and I'm pulling out decorations from all throughout my house.  My favorite candles ended up with a broken nail...and I couldn't even find the broken piece to glue it!  It didn't really bother me though....I put them in candle holders and I'm using them anyway.  Witches aren't supposed to have nice manicures anyway.  Unfortunately, my brand new gel manicure itself was ruined this morning at Bootcamp!  My nail went in to a bar bell (I don't know how it happened...brain cramp or something) and YOWEE did that hurt.  My acrylic nail broke off with the natural nail underneath about halfway down my nail bed.  I quickly gained my composure, got a band aid, and continued with the class.  Honestly, not thinking much more of it.  Yes, my finger has a heartbeat...but life goes on.  I will be sporting a band aid on this finger for at least a week.

A couple of other things happened and were said today... that brought stress, disappointment and really surprising emotion and sadness.  I finally went to my room and prayed, giving my emotions of the day to my Savior, Jesus Christ,  to carry.  It's kind of silly.  There are so many folks out there with really big problems that mine are dwarfed in comparison.  Nonetheless, I can't deny how I feel. Today's sfb is prayer.  It's a Sweet Fringe Benefit available to everyone, no matter their age or stage of life.  Sometimes its one big problem, and other times its a lot of little ones.  It doesn't matter, He'll taken them all.  It's how I know that my Heavenly Father loves me.  

“There may be times when you feel detached—even isolated—from the Giver of every good gift. You worry that you walk alone. Fear replaces faith. When you find yourself in such circumstances, I plead with you to remember prayer.”—President Thomas S. Monson

A few weeks ago I posted about my Christmas scrapbooks that I was behind on.  Well, I finished the 2011 section of my scrapbook.  It is now complete.  So...I will say that even though my day kept getting worse as the time ticked away, I kept working.  I had noted in my blog that I thought I only had 2 hours of work left on 2011... that was a lie.  More like 6 or 7 hours.  But it's done now...

I'm back to a summer outfit.  I can't talk about it....sorry.  I really just want to wear my boots, a scarf and cute jacket.

It's going to be okay.  You can put stop payments on checks, nails will grow, consequences will be faced at school, and two years do fly by.  And you know what, my ghoul fingernail candles look pretty darn good...
