16/52


 Monday started off the week with Beautiful weather!!!!!!! I wore a cardigan over my sleeveless shirt but I could have went without it, it was that warm! Sidenote, I love figuring out different clothes combinations in my own closet. I wear this cardigan frequently but I've never worn it with this shirt before. I'm excited for a new outfit!!
 Any day that I get to teach with the window open is a great day for me!!!!
 In between lessons I spent some time taking pictures and videos of my hand positions for a student who needed help. Technology is fabulous!
 Mom brought me some of the super yummy mini sausages on easter so I made some on Monday evening. SO GOOD!!!


 Monday night after I was done teaching I ran to my second home, Dollar General. I'm pretty sure I was there THREE times this week. This was the first of the three trips. In my defense they are killing it with the coupons lately. Each week i've been getting a 2 off of 10 Monday/Tuesday coupon, and then if you take the survey on your receipt you get a 3 off of 15 and there is no limit on those coupons! Hence why I keep going back. Have to use a fresh coupon :)
 After I got back it was still light outside and I had been inside teaching all day, so I decided to sit outside on my porch swing for a little bit and soak up the glorious weather.

 My porch swing backs up to my house, but looks out across my big backyard. it is so peaceful! I lasted maybe 15 mins before the bugs started biting me.

 Tuesday I had to wait on my neighbor to quit mowing and the air to clear (Allergic to Grass) before I could go outside and plant all of my flower seeds. I planted I think 5 different kinds of flowers, and I'm excited and hopeful that they will grow.
 All of these have flowers planted, as well as a hanging basket, and flowers planted in my front yard that I didn't take a picture of.
 My look for outside work. Tank top, pigtails, and a hat to shield my face. Trust me, you don't want to see my makeup-less face!
 After I got done weeding and planting I had some relaxing time on my porch swing! It was awesome! I had to force myself to go inside.
 And I also read a little bit of this new book I received to review.
 Wednesday I was really feelin myself with my straight hair. Since I showered and washed my hair in the evening on Tuesday, I didn't feel like washing it again on Weds. #Lazy.  Thankfully I always put my hair up into a tight bun, or pigtails when I shower at night, so it wasn't full on curly.

 I felt Sassy!!!! Sassy and Tan according to Audra! :)


Wednesday evening something so sad happened! I was washing my face that evening and then tried to sync my fitness tracker to see where I was at for the day. Only it wouldn't sync or light up at all. Somehow water had gotten into the back of it, got the battery wet, and the insides of my tracker! ACK! I was beyond upset, and emailed amazon and the customer support of Misfit. Within 30 mins Misfit had emailed me back with questions about it, and when I got up the next morning, Misfit had sent me a form to fill out ( a super short, fast one) to get a replacement tracker! I was really impressed with their customer service! My tracker should be here soon, so I'm excited to get back to tracker every waking and sleeping movement :)

 Thursday the only picture I took was of my breakfast. Because it's rare for me to actually make a breakfast like this. Usually it's just toast, or a bagel.

 Friday I was up an hour earlier than normal, in order to meet a prospective student at the Igloo. I treated myself to a Vanilla Marshmallow Coke while I was there.  We met around lunch time and I was getting SO hungry by the time we left. I had to go home and teach a lesson, and as soon as I was done I ran out to McDonalds for some fries. It seemed like everyone at The Igloo was having fries and I wanted some SO bad! And yes, I washed my cardigan since I had worn it on Monday.

I got home and I had a package from Amazon. Please note the size of this box.

 And this was what I ordered.
 Had to take a picture of my arm candy. Sporting my bracelet that Auds gave me for my birthday! Even my prospective student that I met commented on it! :)

 After I got back from McD's my Mom had just pulled up at my house. She was stopping by while she was in town and brought me tons of Lilacs that she cut from home. She has the lilac bush that was my Grandmother's (replanted). I LOVE the smell of Lilacs! I put a vase in every room! Living room above.
 Piano Room, right behind my teaching chair! (I moved this to the living room after I was done with lessons for the week)
 And my kitchen, on my table.
 Where I'm currently sitting working on this post, and breathing in the fresh scent of lilacs! Ahh, happiness!!
 On one of my DG trips this week I picked up a new notebook for myself. I love that it has a magnetic thing in it that automatically closes.
How pretty are the sheets inside? I've been needing a notebook to take to church with me to take notes on. And then we got special booklets for our new series. But I will still use this for church after our month long series. I also take notes about students, lists, oh i love a good list!

I got colored pens to go along with it and was downright gleeful.

The rest of the weekend was spent on my couch relaxing. I started feeling crazy tired Friday night, and wasn't sure if I was fighting off something or getting sick, so I rested a lot. Thankful that it happened on the weekend when I could be lazy.

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

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...

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...
