Apes and Cherrybear Reunited Again!

Friday night Sherita and I met up with Apes in Champaign, IL for what is now our annual "date" at Olive Garden. I made the misfortune of drinking not a venti but the bigger sized drink at Starbucks before I hit the road for IL. Not my best choice. However I will say that the Very Berry Hibiscus is a very yummy drink!

Anywho, I was happy to arrive at Olive Garden and even Happier to see my Apes and if possible even happier than that to eat! I had a very light lunch that day in preparation of our date and I was STARVING, or so it felt like when we arrived.

I wish my top hadn't been moved to the side in these pics, it really was a cute top! Anywho I had the Portabello Di Ravioli or something like that and it was beyond yummy! For the first time I think I cleared my plate at OG. That never happens! But like I said, I was STARVING!

We had a great dinner there and then moved to Barnes and Noble where Apes and Sherita showed me that I am a Winter and a Cool color on the color wheel. I am still not entirely sure what that means as they book they were showing me was from the 1980's and none of the ladies in it look like real life people today, but I digress!!

We finally arrived back home after 12:30 am. I didn't hit bed until after 1 am. Needless to say I spent most of Saturday sleeping. This poor 30 year old body just can't handle the late nights like I once used to! It was well worth it though to spend some wonderful time with my April! I am very happy we discovered this half way point for both of us!

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
