"Michael"

I don't have a picture for this one and I have a gazillion other things I need to be doing but I wanted to tell you guys about something I did this morning. I normally don't share stories like this one because I keep them for myself to enjoy between me and God. I don't need an audience like some people do when they do something good.
I had a lot of errands to do today and when I was finished I ran by Taco Bell. I was almost home and had just got off I-275 at my exit and saw a homeless guy with his sign. He was slummped up againist the fence and I looked in my wallet to see if I had any money. All I found was a one dollar bill. I didn't give it to him because I felt it was sort of a slap in the face now days when everything costs so much. I normally don't even give money and ignore them. Anyway, I drove thru the light and I was ALMOST home, but no, God would not get off my back this time
I could hear him tell me, " Robbin, how can you go home and eat Taco Bell when that guy doesn't have anything to eat?" I then considered giving him my Taco Bell, but then I came to my senses and told God I would go to Wendy's right up the street instead, but could he please let me hurry so my nacho's wouldn't get all soggy?! I went thru a green light that stayed green WAY to long (GOD) and then I went to a Wendy's that always has a LONNNGG line and there was NO ONE there (GOD). I got Michael (that's what I am calling him) 2 double-stacks, fries and I figured he could just drink some water somewhere. God told me NO! Get Him a frosty! So I did. I drove back to where I saw Michael and parked the car and waved for him to come over. Michael was about 18, 19 maybe? Very nice looking guy, surfer hair cut -GQ and all, but dirty. He wasn't drunk either. He said he was just having some bad luck because his dad had died and he had lost everything. He didn't seem to want pity, he just wanted me to know he wasn't a drug head. I told him God made me buy him lunch and he laughed and thanked me. I spent like 6 bucks on him and got SO HIGH, no drug could feel that good.
I read one time about a lady who did a good deed once a week with her children. One time they went to McDonald's and bought like ten lunches and went to all the stops where they normally saw homeless people at and handed out the bags and drove off quickly so as not to make the person even say thanks.
I haven't been very good lately about doing things like that. I feel guilty about that. I get so involved with my family and myself that I forget.
Glad God reminded me today at lunch... and by the way my Nacho's stayed crispy.

Excuses

Sorry you guys have missed out on "my SO interesting life" lately. I have just a MILLION reasons why I haven't blogged. I won't get into it because you will pretty much understand as I run my mouth on here anyway. Roger the children and I DROVE to Chicago on Oct 18th for Roger's daughter Nicole's 18th birthday. The drive up was great- but the drive home took drugs, naps, and 24 HOURS straight in the car. Nicole lives with her mom's first cousin, but I refer to her as her Aunt because that's the way it SEEMS. Like Roger's "Uncle" Papi is really his cousin, but it's always been Uncle to him. We stayed at their home and it was great, like we had always known them. I wish I had been blogging at the time because there was so much to tell... I will refer to it in later stories and you'll be like "WHAT?" They had a dog named MEATBALL who I kept calling PEANUT-BUTTER. He was SO COOL. He had an underbite that you could sit food on when his mouth is shut. The pictures don't even do it justice...
This year we went to my friend Robyn's for Halloween and her kids dressed up as a female pirate, Texas Chain-saw massacre dude and PINOCCIO (?) I still haven't figured out that one although I loved it. We didn't dress up this year... I thought it would be so cool to take the kids out to CHEESECAKE FACTORY instead... Next year we will be dressing up as this did not go over to well...
The dogs turned 1 year in October...
We are going on a Cruise in December...
I painted my living room apple green...
My "flickr" photo collection will not let me add any new photos untill I up-date to a paid pro account...
Christmas is around the corner...

I promise to increase my blogs! Keep on reading...!
