I am . . .

I am a Barista! Yep, this means that I operate an espresso machine at a coffeehouse. (I make a mean mocha if you're ever in Wisconsin!) I only work one day a week, after church Sundays, but I love it! Making drinks is my favorite thing to do on my shift! Yippee! that I get to do it for now! Now, I have known that there is a term for me for some time, but I was reminded of it in a memo I got on my email. Today, I must say that it provides a wonderful balance to all the other names I've been called! It was a wild and crazy day at work, with every one's screws seemingly coming loose all at once! I won't repeat those, or my blog would move up to a more restrictive rating! I had the idea today while one of my boys was screaming insults at the people around him that he should have to write a list of sincere positive comments to try to restore the relationships he damages in his anger and jealousy and to try to restore some balance. It's probably a little much for a third grader, but it makes me think that I should remind myself of the nice names and titles that I hold, just to balance it all out!

And so . . . daughter, aunt, sister, friend, daughter of the King(hence, Princess!), child of God, disciple, teacher, coworker, loved . . . .

Now, if any one has anything nice to hear, I'm blatantly fishing for compliments here! If you don't have anything nice to say? Say it on somebody else's blog!

Love,
Amanda
