Julie and Julia. 

 

Saw it last night.

 

loved it.

I'm reading Humility, by CJ Mahaney.  Here's a quote:

 

"Begin your day by acknowledging your dependence upon God and your need for God.  Purpose by grace that your first thought of the day will be an expression of your dependence on God, your need for God, and your confidence in God."

Today, when I was in line at the grocery store, I remembered I needed more gum.  The girls dig in my purse daily for gum.  I go through about two packs a week, usually.  As I was standing there, looking for the "Orbit, Maui Melon Mint,"  the thought came to mind that I should buy both of the girls their own gum.  They both carry purses now, fairly regularly. 

 

My girls carry purses. Not the play purses that fill the dress up box, but they carry real purses, filled with birthday and babysitting money, lip gloss, and other purs-ey things.  Sarah has a few nine year old things in it, like a little stuffed animal, or various Hello Kitty items, but her billfold probably has more money in it than mine.

 

And now they will have gum. 

 

I got a little emotional over the gum. 

 

Imagine what kind of scene I will make when we shop for our first prom dress.
