April's Birthday Decorations!

Whats going on in 2144 today? A party for our Apes of course!!! (writing this the night before and PRAYING that my thingies floating in the door are still there Friday morning!)

Its our Apes birthday this weekend and OF COURSE you know I had to decorate it!! Getting the crepe paper and the balloons into the office without her knowing was like a covert act!!

Here is her desk! And yes the Birthday Butterfly is a deflated balloon, whom matched the other one standing tall but you see it was highly windy here today and wrestling 4 balloons that kept attacking me and getting the strings caught in my hair (PAINFUL!) was just too much for that poor butterfly, she sprung a leak! Not to be deterred I OF COURSE found another use for her!

Apes Chair and her poem I wrote for her with alittle help from Fishy!

Please note the exception bow I made *cough Jessica Berger* cough* I found soem froofy stuff in our crepe paper box and fashioned a bow out of it. And then I took a sparkly bow meant to be attached to a present, took the sticky paper off, fashioned a little ring around it with a paper clip and then hooked it to the ribbon bow. Stuck the whole thing on her chair with packing tape. I know, ingenious. I was rather proud of myself. I may or may not have done and song and dance. :)

Anyways here is her birthday poem! Can't wait to walk into work Friday and see her response!

Ode to Apes

She’s sweet like sugar,
But sometimes a bit of a booger,
She’s pretty awesome,
But thankfully not as lazy as a possum,
You know she’s really great,
She pretty much takes the cake.
She’s smart as a whip,
Good thing since she’s stuck with a dip!
This might be a little silly,
But we really love our Ape-a-Dilly!

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

It's me, Charity
