What's Up Wednesday! Last of 2016


So for the second month in a row the Bloggers I link up with are really trying to throw me off by doing What's Up Wednesday NOT on the last Wednesday of the month.  Anywho, I'm hopefully finishing this on the actual day and linking up with Shay at Mix and Match Mama!

What I'm Eating this week: We had Christmas with my Brother and his family this past weekend, so I"m still eating leftovers and turkey!

What I'm reminiscing about:

Today is Audra's Birthday! YAY! Happy Birthday Auds! I got to reminiscing about our friendship and our past celebrations every Dec. This is one of my favorite pictures of us, the first of the three of us after Addie was born! She looks like a doll!!

What I'm Loving: TOMORROW STARTS CHRISTMAS VACATION!!!!!!!!!! Two Glorious weeks of no alarm clocks (except for church) no work, and some rest and relaxation! And doing whatever I want and not having to watch the clock to see how much time I have!

What I've been up to:


 A Girls afternoon Christmas Shopping with my Mom.
Spending time with my cute lil tablet buddy Lovemuffin
And this character.... :)

What I'm dreading: Only thing I am dreading is when my vacation is over! HA!

What I'm Working On: Laundry! And that's IT!!!!!

What I'm Excited About: Did I mention I'm almost on Vacation? I really don't take a summer vacation or anything like that because when you're self employed vacation days are Non Paid days. But I take two glorious weeks off at Christmas to rest, relax and recharge. This time is very much needed!!

What I'm Watching/Reading: I am finishing up White Collar. Goodness, I love that show!! And Hoping that Netflix helps me out with a good binge show come January! As For reading I have two books I need to read and review so I really need to get on top of that! AND my SIL got me the Fixer Upper Book for Christmas! I can't wait to read it!!



What I'm Listening to: Right now the Glorious Sound of Silence! But in about 20 mins it will be my final Piano Student playing Christmas music!

What I'm Wearing:

Terrible picture of my slippers, but I"m too lazy to take another one! Mom gave me an early Christmas present of these ADORABLE Grey and Black Fair Aisle Slippers and they are sooooo comft and cushy!! I am loving them!! Also sporting jeans, a grey shirt and a dark blue grey cardigan. My Shirt has coffee on it, so I'll spare you that picture,

What I'm doing this Weekend: It's CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll be at my Church for our Christmas Eve Service, and then serving at the second Christmas eve service and then I have plans to spread some Christmas cheer around town. Stay Tuned :)

What I'm looking forward to next Month:

 I get to see this Goober...
And her Momma!!! They Moved two states away but will be in the state for Christmas so we are meeting up on their drive back to have lunch, exchange gifts and catch up!

What else is new:

 In *VERY* Exciting News, Lovemuffin has finally warmed up to his Auntie!! I was finally able to pick him up and hold him and interact with him and HUG him, without him screaming! Truth be told I haven't even tried touching him or anything as I knew what it would lead to. I haven't held and snuggled him since he was a few months old. *Tears* My Auntie heart was SO SO happy that he finally likes me, and when he hugged me goodnight for the first time I just about cried. We won't talk about when he held my hand at the dinner prayer and my other nephew was holding my other hand.  I think my heart exploded a bit!
Goodness I just love that little face!! He is such a sweetie!  He still hasn't quite figured out pictures, but he has the sweetest little smile!

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
