Hello to all of my FS Buddy's!

I have the funniest story for ya!

Yesterday as I was on my way to boot camp (btw boot camp freakin ROCKED; I LOVE YOU JENNIFER ALCORN!), I stopped at the gas station. While seated in the car with my windows rolled up, a woman on a bicycle knocked on my window (Now, mind you I knew that she was probably drunk) and said, "Hey you got a dollar?" I said, “No I am sorry I don't have a dollar." The women then knocked on my window again and said, "Hey you got a dollar?" By then the store manager came out and told her to get away from my car and off of his property. The woman and the store manager then got into a verbal confrontation. Again the woman turn to me my car window, knocked on it, and said, "Hey you got a dollar?" Now, I was like what the heck is going on here?" I must admit I had a dollar; however, I wanted a pack of gum. I can not go to boot camp without gum! I then opened my purse and reached into it and pulled out the $1.50 that I had to purchase that pack of gum. I looked at it for what seemed an eternity and then rolled down my window and gave it to the woman. To my amazement she was very grateful and then peddled away on her bike. As I sat there, I thought gee she must have really needed that dollar. Better yet, maybe it was about me giving and sacrificing? Who knows? LOL I was able to scrape up some change and get a pack of gum (no real harm done). However, I thought it was the funniest and most entertaining situation!

Later that evening, I took a friend to the grocery store. As we were exiting the parking lot, we were approached by two women who claimed to be stranded, form out of town and needed gas money. I then gave them three dollars. One of the ladies said, “God bless you.” When dropping off my friend at her apartment, the two ladies were walking in her apartment complex. My friend was so mad and said “They just took you for a ride.” I said, “Well it is not up to me to judge them, I will let God handle them.” My heart was in the right place! I don’t want to get to the place where I don’t want to help people because you can not trust them to do the “RIGHT” thing. It is so interesting what extremist we have in our world! I would have preferred the truth over a lie; however, I guess that sometimes disparate times cause for disparate measures? Don’t know...LOL

Okay now for boot camp. Mrs. Alcorn is one tough and motivating lady! She brought her dog yesterday to do some running with us. We did push-up, ran with sand bags, and squats, sit-ups and so much more. A lot of what we did required core strength (the plank). Even more, she announced that she is starting boxing training on Wednesday’s. I am going to order my boxing gloves this weekend. I am so excited about the boxing and feel that finally I get to do something that I enjoy as a workout! Float like a BUTTERFLY~ LOL

Well that is all for now...
