It's me, Charity

Greetings Earthlings! (one of my friends had a date that always said Greetings but for the life of me I can't remember who it was??) Anywho, I am coming to you from my bedroom in my new house!! YAY!! I am not all moved in, we moved the bed this afternoon so I could sleep here tonight and a few other items. It FINALLY rained here in Indiana, torrential rains while I was at work, just when my parents went to get my bed from my old place. Dad got to take a nice snooze on the couch while my Mom worked at my old place and I sat at work worrying that my bed wouldn't get moved. The rains did stop and we got my bed moved and set up.  I'm enjoying my super fast internet and the quietness and stillness of my new place. If I had half a brain in my body I would be going to bed early preparing for the huge task of moving my stuff from my third floor apt in 100+ heat.  As you can see I'm still typing. Oh well.  I really didn't think this day would come, and despite coun...

In the absence of interesting things to blog about here is a peek into my getting ready to move stressful life: I woke up early, again, so I finally got up and went to go get in the shower. I went to turn the water on and realized all of my shampoo, conditioner, ect was gone. (mom had been there packing that day) so I assume she has for some reason packed my stuff up. After all she’d already packed up my sneakers for the move which I have yet to find. She informed me she'd put them in a box somewhere. Do you know how many boxes I have in my apt?? So I go to my room and get my glasses so I can see and proceed to search around for 7 minutes for my stuff. NOTHING. Finally I find one lone shampoo under my sink, that I had swapped out because the pump didn’t work. it’s horrible when I don’t use conditioner but I figured I was just going to have to make do as I had wasted enough time allready. So I get in the shower and pull the curtain back that she had pushed all to the e...

I have voicemail anxiety. I get nervous when I see I have a voicemail on my cell phone, no matter WHO it's from, I will almost do anything to avoid listening to it. In the same vein as last week getting obsessed with food, I realized I also get obsessed with TV shows. This is only worsened by the fact that I got rid of cable at the beginning of this year and now watch Hulu Plus and Netflix from my Roku, which I LOVE btw. Since i'm not flipping thru channels, I tend to stick with watching all of the seasons of one paticular show. Earlier this year it was Greys Anatomy, then In Plain Sight, and now The Glades  Which is great, minus the part where Hulu Plus doesn't have all seasons, so I end up buying a season on Amazon. Sneaky, very sneaky. Sometimes I don't know what day it is unless I look at my clothing. Pink=Weds, Jeans=Friday. All other days i'm just here.  One of the rare things I will miss moving to the other side of town, (FRIDAY! EEPS!) is my McDonald...

I had one of the most embarrassing moments of this year last week, which I can't believe I'm going to admit here but here goes. I was at work on Tuesday impressed with my really cute Target dress I was wearing. I bent down to get my grapes out of the bottom crisper drawer and unbeknownst to me I had a static cling issue, and the liner of my dress bunched up and rode WAYYYYYYY up. It all happened so quickly I didn't realize it until someone came up behind me and told me the color of my unders. You'd better believe i grabbed the back of my skirt, RAN to the bathroom, and after making sure i was alone, contorted in all kinds of positions in front of the mirror to figure out what was shown and HOW I did it. I really try to be Modest, so this was beyond egregious to me. I was thankful to realize that my dress had not shrunk to hoochie level, and it was merely the static cling that made it ride up. Still though. Talk about EMBARRASSING! I'm not going to wear that d...

I have been a horrible blogger as of late. Which I'm sure you all have noticed. Life has been pretty busy with gearing up for my move in 11 days!!!! WHOO HOO!! My poor apt is covered with boxes, most of my stuff is packed up, minus my kitchen, which gets attacked by my Mom this week. I am very much looking forward to NOT living from boxes and having everything out and put away. I'm glad I started packing early, but I am ready to not be living out of boxes and not know where certain things are at that I'm searching for.  I did get to see my new place a few weeks ago and I am absolutely in love with it! It has TONS of space! 1,024 sq ft as opposed to my 785 of the moment. It's a two story townhouse so I even have an upstairs! The bedrooms are upstairs as well as more closet space than you can ever imagine. Seriously, It's crazy! I've been looking at design blogs online trying to figure out a system to organize my huge closets. In the spare bedroom/office an enti...

Father's Day is this weekend and I thought I would have a father's day edition of Flashback Friday Childhood pictures! I am so thankful to have a WONDERFUL father! Despite not having a great example himself he sought to follow God and be a loving father and husband and a great provider for his family. I know he has not had an easy life, but he has never complained and has always put his family first with God.  He is my Knight in Shining armor, my muscles to move stuff, the one that always fixes my truck when it's broken, he comes to my rescue when I call him crying, the one that fixes ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. My Dad is SO Smart. I think if he had went to college he would have been an engineer or something like that because that's just the way his brain works. He is great at looking at something and just knowing how it goes together. He built a huge part of our house and just did it himself! He is SO SMART! I envy that because my brain does not work that way at al...

My SIL put this on her blog and I couldn't resist sharing it with y'all. Snugglemuffin was none too pleased to be eating green beans. Oh I just laugh and laugh everytime I look at this picture!!!! That Face!! Those EYES!!! I love my little demon child looking nephew :)

 It's Flashback Friday here at the ole' blog and today we're featuring Little Cherrybear and her Mommy! The pic above is my first birthday!  Mom always dressed me in style! Here I am at age 2, ready for church! I love that I always looked a like a little girl.(minus my slightly scandalous for a baptist short skirt) Kids these days are in such a rush to grow up and dress inappropriately.   All you need is Mommy, your blankie and your thumb! Love this picture of her loving on me. Incidentally I quit sucking my thumb not to long after this. As the story goes we were at a friends house and I burnt my thumb on a kerosene lamp. That was the end of my thumb sucking days. And yes, I've always been accident prone apparently!  I rocked the Bonnet like no other. I think I'm going to get bonnets for my kids when I have them!  Mom and I at my first birthday party!! On a side note, I don't know who that lady is at the left of my picture....

Monday I used the electronic pencil sharpener in our office to sharpen my eye brow pencil (makeup) from home since I packed basically everything in my home. It worked so well I contemplated getting my own instead of a wussy makeup sharpener. Not gonna lie, later in the day I used a paper clip to get something out of my tooth. (Right now would be where My Mom would say that's the reason she carries floss with her at all times.. yeaaah..) I am completely in love with these shoes! Flip Flops, Bows, and Glitter. I am in HEAVEN!! Our suite holds around 30 offices. Two of those and held by people not in our division, because of space issues. The problem is, that one of the offices gets visited by an Adjunct who looks almost identical to one of our adjuncts. So whenever either of them walk into our office, to enter the suite, neither of us know which person it is. The Real Adjunct, or Not Adjunct. (adjunct substituted for real name)  EVERY....

 While I was home last weekend I went thru my Mom's big photo album and scanned about 50 of my favorite pictures of me as a child! I thought I would start a little series on the ol blog of Flashback Friday Childhood pictures!! So without further ado....  Here I am at age 2, blonde messy curls, and a messy face from eating chocolate ice cream. I am my Father's Daughter!  This picture makes me crack up at my smile, after showing this to my friends they all said the same thing... BOY have I seen that smile before!! ha!  Bless my heart. I was doomed from the get-go with my curls.. Bless my heart..  Love this picture of my big brother reading to me, and me taking it very.seriously.  Adore this picture of me playing the piano! I think i was about 1 1/2 here. Please ignore my unders showing. I'm blowing this picture up and hanging it in my Piano Studio! This picture says it all. A true Cherrybear face!  I found it hilarious tha...
