My Middle Name

It has been a fun and relaxing weekend. More relaxing than fun. I’m just disappointed that tomorrow is Monday, which means back to my 8 to 4:30 5 day work week. More typing and processing records. More coaching my agents. More laughing at my fellow employees all day long. =) More wishing it was Saturday.

Besides it being another work week, I also have to be fully prepared for this coming Saturday for our Vacation Bible School Pre-Registration. How you may ask? I am THE clown for VBS, which means I have to make sure I have my act down, my face paint prepared, my costume finished, and my balloon act perfected. WOW, so much to do and so little time to do it in! WOWSERS! =)

Have you ever wished you could just get away? And I’m not talking about packing up the family and going on Vacation, or spending a night out away from your family hanging out with some friends. I’m talking just by yourself, all alone, somewhere doing nothing but enjoying the peace. I could use one of those right now. Away from the world, away from stress and responsibility. Yeah well that’s life I know! But still, If a person doesn’t renew themselves they are very apt to going insane! Monotony, is my middle name. But who’s isn’t it?! I spend every week at work, church, home, and the gas station. My work involves doing the same thing over and over again. My work doesn’t involve goals. In fact sometimes it can be so depressing when people who are doing so good, stop giving 100%. So when they stop, you have to make up for the percentage they lost. It is mentally exhausting and should be banned from society. =] But if they didn’t then I would be out of a job, so keep up the good work. Church is good always. No complaints about that of course, except for the fact that we didn’t have service today because of Convention, and I wasn’t able to go to convention so it felt like two Saturdays. So I’m looking forward to Wednesday nonetheless. Home, is busy. There is so much to be done that it is also mentally exhausting. I can name off a very long list of things that I personally need to accomplish! However, it is unfortunately my weakness. Had I not bought a new car, I was planning on going part time on my job after BTI 2011, so I could focus on becoming better at taking care of life. I spend the majority of my day at work, so when I get home I feel like doing nothing but relax. The gas station…. well I spend about 5 minutes there every 2 weeks filling up my tank so I can accomplish getting nowhere. EHHH see?!?!?!

Monotony. Life would be better off without it.

It is pretty bad when even when you finally get a reprieve from it all, it hardly cures the problem! It’s like an endless cycle.

This is exactly what my blog is NOT for. Complaining… ahh please forgive me. I’m just the type of person who holds it all in (part of avoiding confrontation) and when something sparks, I have to let it all go at once. Haha, it can’t be healthy.

Speaking of responsibility, I better go finish some things then get to bed so I can begin my week tomorrow.

Goodnight All.

Sleep is Over rated

2:30 in the morning, and i'm still going at it. =) Not really doing anything anymore, but thought I'd write on my blog before I headed to bed.

Went to look at makeup (face-paint) and balloons for VBS. I have to have everything ready for my clown costume, and hopefully not wait until the last minute. =\ I have so much to get together before next Saturday it's unreal!

This isn't going to be a long post obviously, because my dog won't stop whining, I think she wants in my room so she can go to sleep. What a silly girl.

So goodnight and sweet dreams to everyone. No comments yet?

Bio and such...

Friday evenings always give me a sense of relaxation, but there is always something that needs to be done. Now if I can just get in the right gear and do what needs to be done that would be amazing! =]

Currently I am just sitting here enjoying the fact that I don't have to work tomorrow, and with the chance of rain again tomorrow, I may not have to mow the back yard. =) That makes me very happy.

I have come to this point in life where I'm just not sure what God has for me next. That is mainly why I came up with the blog name "Blooming Daisy". Because first of all, I absolutely adore daisies, and I am blooming. God is working on me. And the more son I get, the more open I am to what he has in store for me. Ultimately that is what I strive for and look forward to the most.

I consider myself to be very optimistic about things. Once an individual gets to really know me, they will find out that I dislike confrontation. But you say, "who does?" Well... I go out of my way to avoid it at all costs. Even if that means letting you "win". I do acknowledge this isn't practical, but honestly, on a day to day basis I deal with people at work and as a coach, trying to instruct people to do things the right way, it can be very confrontational. So perhaps the Lord wants me to overcome this a little bit. But I have to say, it is a huge part of who I am and why I have grown into a slightly quiet person. I guess you could say, I'd rather observe then be the center of attention.

I'm not really sure why I said all of that... =) but I guess this blog gives the world the opportunity to get to know Denise Yvonne. Not the pastors daughter, the Branscums' daughter, Tammy and Eric's younger sister and so on. There is so much to me and my personality that I can't honestly say anybody fully knows me. I mean of course my parents and my close family... but when it comes to people that I have known all of my life, few of them actually know me.

Before my brother died, we really got to seriously talking about recording our own CD and going place to place to minister and sing. Well 9 or so years later we finally got to spend 3.5 hours in a recording studio. We worked with Chris, and he is doing such a fantastic job. It is quite the experience. Although all of my family is just getting over this summer cold we all had, the demo came out nice. =) The demo isn't for sale though. The demo will be a handout to ministries in the area for an opportunity to get booked to sing at different locations. We are all very excited about this and can't wait for the Lord to open the doors.

Well that's it for tonight I think. My poor puppy wants to go to bed, and I think my eyes are giving in as well. =\ Good night all, and for crying out loud leave a girl some comments alright!
