Just 18 more days till the cruise! Then, as Tom said, we can make plans. Yeah, we’ll make plans and then we’ll see where we really end up. Whatever it is we do plan, God will be standing by to see to it that just the opposite happens. If he could talk to us he’d no doubt say, “Oh, so that’s your new plan? okay, I’ll find someone else to carry them out for you.” That’s the way it always seems; that there’s always someone else destined to live out our dreams and plans, but never us. It really makes planning a bitch when I know that there’ll be what we plan, then there’ll be what He plans, and He’ll always win. What we want doesn’t mean shit to Him.

In other news, besides the usual piddly wins, I hit an instant tonight, winning a $150 Sonicare IntelliClean System. It’s an electric toothbrush with all kinds of fancy sidekicks. Hope they send it to me.

I called the Stickman yesterday, who I thought would never let me off the phone, and he said he gets some of his incense from Idaho. When I asked if it was from Incense Galore, he said it was, and sure enough, he’s been waiting forever on the rest of my order cuz of them. I recommended SOS to him. Meanwhile, he was all apologetic and is sending 2 of the 5 scents he still owes me.
