i'm not sure where the expression originated... but i know a lot of people who say... "i'm not bitter, i'm just sayin'" micah said that he heard it from dave edwards - who is a speaker for college student/singles... (pictured left)
but i don't know if that's where i heard it, but i say it sometimes... and i have a few "i'm not bitter, i'm just sayin'" issues in my life right now...
- i feel alone, disconnected from the world... i got a postcard from mary the other day, which was awesome, but other than that, i feel like people from my life who are friends that live far away don't care sometimes... there are exclusions... but seriously, there are people that i call all the time but never make the effort to call me or get in touch with me... i'm not bitter, i'm just sayin'...
- i just got an email from fuge... i was planning on working one week of camp - the first week of july... the numbers are down and now they don't need me to work... sad... i was so looking forward to working a week of camp... if the numbers come up, then maybe... but i was going to leave next week... i don't think the numbers are coming up... i'm not bitter, i'm just sayin'...
- no one ever comments on my blog... maybe no one reads it... i'm not bitter, i'm just sayin'...
- i won't even go there with the single thing... i'm not bitter, i'm just sayin'...
- i didn't get to go to the southern baptist convention and enjoy sites like this... i'm not bitter, i'm just sayin'... (sarcastically - seriously, fireworks at the sbc? and the balloons?)
okay, enough non-bitterness for the day... to flip it to the other side, i'll make a five things list... - because i'm not working camp, i don't have to use my vacation time all up for camp... so i'll use 3 days for camp in august and then i'll still have 7 left to use at a different time...
- it's friday and i love friday
- i got paid today, so i can play this weekend a little bit (including a trip to papa haydn's if it doesn't rain) - i want to sing the song... another saturday night and i ain't got nobody... i got some money 'cause i just got paid... how i wish i had someone to talk to, i'm in an awful way... (but i'm keepin' it positive)
- it's a beautiful day in vancouver
- we had our "bible study" last night - pretty much a single women's group... but it's good... and i feel encouraged about the group...
now that i've spent way too much time on this post, i'm going to go get a little bit of work done before lunch...

Hey Hey! Hope things are well with you! It stinks that you won't be working camp because the numbers are down. Hope to talk to you soon. We are having Plea For Revival services this week at church. My friend from Texas is preaching for me. Its great to have him and his family here, but I am exhausted - in a good way. VBS last week and now we visit with church members during the day and then service at night.
Its been a great 2 weeks and to top it off I get my boat back tomorrow :)
i'm hoping that i'm one of the exceptions you mentioned. i hate it that i don't have any time to talk. but seriously, there's no free time at all during the days. we're not getting back from site til 3:45 and by the time i get my stuff put away it's 4...then it's church group pics, hang out with campers, eat dinner, work store, shower, and be at a meeting at 6. it's absolutely insane. when midnight comes i'm just ready to hit the bed. i love you. and i think about you everyday when i open my envelope and pull out some love. thanks for being such an encouragement. you have no idea how awesome it's been to have a daily reminder. :) love you. and i hope because i don't get to tell you as often that you don't forget.
you are an exception, amy... it's mostly about my friends from college... i am sad that i don't get to talk to you as much as we did, but i know what camp is like... i know you love me... :) you don't really have a choice!!!
Love the picture of Dave Edwards! That's where I got the quote from as well. "I'm not bitter, I'm just saying." I feel like it is the perfect response to so much in life.
beckie ~ it is the perfect expression for so many situations... even though i'm not a huge dave edwards fan, kudos to him for a great phrase...
