Not good!

I'm sure most of you have already heard about this, but wanted to share in case you haven't....

Menu Foods is recalling 60 million cans and pouches of certain "cuts and gravy" style dog and cat food products. At least 10 pet deaths have been linked to the recall, and the affected food may have contributed to kidney failure in many other cats and dogs. For a full list of recalled items you can visit their website http://www.menufoods.com/recall/.

Girl Time!

This past weekend I had the honor of attending the Women Of Faith National Conference in San Antonio with my sweet friend Mary. She was able to get us free tickets (which were supposed to be $150 each) to the conference. It was incredible! The conference was held at the AlamoDome (which is HUGE!) 15,000 women attended the conference. We were able to hear some incredible speakers and musicians at the conference. A few of the speakers were Robin McGraw (Dr. Phil's wife), Sherri Shepherd (actress), and Luci Swindoll (Chuck Swindoll's sister). Sandi Patty, Nicole C. Mullen, & Kathy Troccoli all provided fabulous music. There was also a Christian stand up comedian named Chonda Pierce.

The fun didn't stop there. We also received passes to go "backstage" to a meet & greet. We got to meet and visit with Sandi Patty. She has been one of my favorite artists since I was in elementary school, so it was quite an honor to meet her. She gave us a signed copy of her new CD which is coming out in April.

If you haven't attended a Women of Faith Conference before, I would highly recommend it.

Thanks again Mary!!

What's the deal?

I'm a bit confused recently with the USPostal Service. You see, every Saturday morning since June I have mailed off paperwork to my company in Dallas. I have always sent my paperwork First Class and have never had a problem. The company I work for has to receive my paperwork by Tuesday so they can bill for the therapy I did. My papework has always been received by Tuesday, sometimes even by Monday. Well, my paperwork hasn't arrived by Tuesday the last three weeks. It hasn't even arrived Wednesday or Thursday. It's arrived on Friday! Why oh why? Needless to say I was a bit confused and frustrated. So, yesterday morning I went up to our local post office to see if they could help me out. Unfortunately the ladies behind the counter had no answers for me. The interesting thing was that they both said they are receiving their paychecks 5-10 days later than usual and this has just started occurring over the last few weeks (and the paychecks are still mailed the same date they always are). So, I now have to pay $4.05 to mail off my paperwork (which used to cost me $.87). That's $165.36 more each year I have to pay!

Anyone else having issues like this?
