“Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans.”

Posted on by

The quote is by John Lennon (Beautiful Boy)

Normally I would have my Wordless Wednesday or Wordfilled Wednesday up but life has been busy.

1. I am working on some exciting stuff for CWO Book Buzz. The authors that I am coming into contact with are awesome. Be looking for some give a ways (on my blog and CWO) in the coming months, along with some awesome author interviews. I pray you are blessed by these women as much as I have been.

2. Nothing in the mouth department goes smoothly for me. Long time readers know I had jaw surgery about a year a half ago..it was a major ordeal. Back then I was tired of mouth stuff. Well because of my surgery and braces and all the shifting my teeth did, I needed a root canal on my right back tooth. Ok, simple enough. I went in Friday to have it done, but by Saturday the right side of my face was totally swollen. I ate Advil like it was a package of M&M’s. Monday I was able to get some strong prescription medicine and now the swelling is about 90% gone. But good grief…can’t anything go “as planned.”

3. My dish washer has been broken, and now my A/C broke. Now all you up North are wondering what in the world is she talking about her A/C so soon. Well remember, as FiddleDeeDee says we live in “arm pit” Florida and we ALWAYS have to be ready to flip the switch of A/C no matter what month it is. What is funny is that I finally got it fixed yesterday and had my dog shaved because his hair was so long….and today is the coldest day we have had in while!!! My poor doggie is running around naked shaking because he is so cold!

4. Also if you could can you keep my sister in your prayers. God will know what you are praying for. But she is having a lot coming at her at one time, and she is preg for the first time. Life has been hard. Her name is Jeni, and like I said God will know. Greatly appreciate it!!

Well I will be popping in when I can, or when life gets back to normal (whatever that is). Love ya! But God loves you so much more!!!

  2. We have snow, snow, and more snow. So A/C is a strange thought. :) Praying for your sister, and your mouth. Isn’t it funny how we each of one thing that keeps going horribly, horribly wrong, over and over. We have water issues, constant and persistent, no matter what we do, water issues.

  3. I’m sorry about your poor mouth — but glad the swelling is at last going down.

    Here in SC I’ve had the AC on a few times already, too. But now it is back to being cold again outside.

  4. Praying for your sis, and for all you have to deal with right now. Living in South Texas, I completely can feel your pain on the AC thing. Blessings!

  5. Stinky, stinky.

    Sorry about your mouth .. what a bummer. I hope it heals really fast.

    Praying for your sis, and for that darn a/c. At least it’s not July.

  6. My little dog is running around shivering too, but it’s because she was so matted my groomer had to practically shave her yesterday. I’m a bad doggie mama.

    Sorry about your mouth, Laurel. I know you’re probably a little weary of mouth problems but maybe this is the end of it?

    I’ll keep Jeni in my prayers. And by the way, Beautiful Boy is one of my favorite Lennon songs and that line from the song is a quote I use quite often myself. It’s so, so true.

  8. Laurel~
    Know that I’m praying for you and your sister. God’s grace is sufficent…..and I’m praying that his grace will be made real to your heart today.

    If you lived in MN like I do, you wouldn’t need A/C, you could simply open your window!! lol

  9. Oh Laurel… this sounds like a normal day, with bonus excitement. Sorry about your swollen face, but thank you God for medicine. And I’m saying a prayer for Jeni right now; I’ll just let the Holy Spirit intercede on what needs to be said.

  11. Sorry about the AC and your jaw!—and the DISHWASHER! Wow–what’s a woman to do??? for cryin’ out loud!
    I will be praying for Jeni–the Lord knows/sees/hears—has the whole picture in mind.
    Thanks for remembering us. I love you.
    Remember—normal is just a setting on your dryer….it’s not real life.

  14. I love the quote! That is so me – always busy making plans and forgetting to live in the moment!!! So sorry about your little root canal problem!!! I do remember your mouth problems of long ago, or last year, or whenever it was!! And, I will remember your sweet sister in my prayers!!

  15. I’m sorry about your mouth pain, broken appliances, etc. Life just keeps comin’ at ya, doesn’t it?

    I’ve been chewing on your new favorite quote for a while now. It’s a keeper!
