I was at my usual Wednesday happening , sifting through the racks of "fresh meat" new merchandise,the blabber mouth next to me is yacking a mile a minute .She is always yacking. You can hear her voice throughout the store. She is a regular, like me, here every Wednesday.
Only for the first time, I notice the overwhelming smell of smoke wafting off her person. I didn't even know she smoked. The smell was intoxicating and delicious, yet repulsive .
"Oh.... I smell cigarettes." I say with longing to no one impeticular. "this is my 8th day of trying to quit."
A stranger the next rack over hollers to me "What's your first name honey?"
I yell it over to her. She says " I'll pray for you."
"Thanks"
I spent the next 3 hours sitting on the floor next to another stranger sifting through jewelry which had been marked down to a dollar. A dollar!
She must have said 10 times "I'm gonna have to take a break and go smoke a cigarette."
She never did. But I was fine. I did not smell smoke on her. I did not feel like throwing myself on the floor in a fetal position and crying to smoke.
The rest of the day was the easiest one yet. I kept thinking "whatever you prayed lady, it is working!"
Matthew 18:19 ".....if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in Heaven."
All of you, please pray for me :)

A while back I jokingly told Floozie2 "I wonder if I should get Cavuto a fishbowl?"
He's soooo bored. Well, yesterday I happened to find a dang fishbowl for one dollar.
Next thing you know ,I'm over at Walmart telling some hick "I know nothing about fish."
Presenting Cavuto's new 28 cent pets.
I hope I don't kill them in less than a week.
He finds them fascinating. I do need some kind of cover for the top so he can't stick his head in there.
My hideous emergency cover made of pipe cleaners. :)
