7 quick takes

1. This weekend has been so busy, which is why this is a day late!

2. I can't wait to spend tomorrow with my Mom (and Dad!) They are coming to town to go to church with me and then have lunch and presents at my apt!

3. I am so proud of myself that I made my mom's famous homemade icing Thurs night and it actually tasted like hers!! Not as good because she has that special Mom ingredient that she puts in but still it was danged good!!

4. Last night was our last Small Group before Summer break. I am happy and sad. Happy that I will have more free time but sad I won't see my kids every other week!

5. Speaking of the kids I let them play with my camera last night and they took some pretty hilarious pictures. You will see why I usually go to the chiropractor the morning after small group! HA!!

6. I discovered my new favorite store today, a bookstore very close to my apt. It has all kinds of used books, old books, its fabulous!!! They actually had newer books too. I was in book heaven! And I didn't even go to the mystery section, that would have done me in!!

7. It has been unnaturally cold and rainy today and WHOA windy. Kind of made me feel like it was fall. It was SO HOT yesterday that I had to take my cardigan off at lunch and today its in the 40's! Whats up with that?!

We've had a cool front come through here, too. It was so chilly last night and all day today. In fact, it's supposed to be only 63 here tomorrow. Then Tuesday it shoots back up to almost 90!! Ugh!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
