34/52


Last Monday I was super productive, and even started wrapping my Christmas presents. Yes, I know it's August. I typically start shopping here and there in the summer, so I am done with Christmas shopping by Thanksgiving. I already have three concerts lined up, three weeks in a row, the end of November into December. Along with planning the week long Christmas Party in your lesson week in the studio. I have to shop early and get stuff done to preserve my sanity.
Tuesday i was making my shopping list and for some reason decided to do it on payless' site, and saw that they had waived my click list fee! (Probably since I hadn't used it in about a year) so you'd better believe I hopped on that! I love being able to order my groceries online and pick them up without ever having to get out of my vehicle. But it irks me to have to pay a fee for it.


Wednesday I tried out a new maybelline foundation that all the youtuber's i watch have raved about. It was terrible. I ended up scrubbing off my foundation and powder mid day and putting concealer and powder back on for the second half of students. I looked like a cakey oompa loompa. Good news is that CVS had my Almary two in one foundation and self tanner back in stock so I am back to looking normal!!!!
I made a new crock pot meal and had to snap a picture of the carrots to send to Sarah #1. Her Dog Brady is OBSESSED with carrots.
Thursday it was SO pretty outside!! I love days when I can teach with the window open! And Thursdays are long days so it was great to have fresh air all day long!
Skype lessons resumed Thursday afternoon and I was determined to be comfortable. I moved my laptop into the piano room ( Years past I Skyped in the kitchen at my table) because I have in person students right before my Skype students so it's just easier to not have to change rooms.  I haven't figured out the perfect set up yet, but I'll get there!
Friday no sleeping in for me. *whimper* I was up and at em for two Dr's apts. First stop was my eye drs. Where i discovered that my favorite cheap glasses I got from zenni.com weren't fixable. Turns out you really shouldn't lay on your glasses in bed. Who knew? One side was waaayyyyyyy closer to my eye than the other. Good news is that I was eligible for a new pair of frames and lenses, so I picked out a new pair of glasses! And got a new pair of contacts to boot. I narrowed it down to three pairs of glasses and had to send selfie's to Audra to help me decide. I only smiled in the first picture because the lady said I looked super cheesey and it was distracting to the glasses. She was sitting right in front of me and it was awkward so I sent the next two pics non smiling. I felt like I looked like a convict in a booking photo! And then Auds asks me why I'm only smiling in the first pic! HA! #ThisISWhyWeAreFriends

Picture on Left is the first pair of glasses. Which spoiler alert, I did not pick!

Picture on left is my next stop- the Chiropractor! After being at the eye dr for hours and then having to go back after i realized I DROPPED MY NEW CONTACT IN ITS CONTAINER ON THE GROUND, I scooted over to my chiros. The adjustment was great but three days later I un did all the work he did. So there's that.
On my way back home after getting lost looking for a garage sale, I stopped at DG and they had my very favorite wax melt scent out!!! I will be stocking up on this since it's only available in the fall!!
Saturday my parents had Chiro apts and came by my house. Dad mowed, and mowed for my 85 yr old neighbor. So sweet. My parents are the epitimome of a Servants Heart.

After that Dad attempted to fix my water heater. It had been turned off on Weds, after I heard a noise that I couldn't figure out. And was trying to rule out things. (Turned out someone went into my backyard and turned on my outside water while i was home teaching! Still no clue who or why)  Well after i turned it off the pilot light wouldn't light. Sooooooo...
I had to boil water, and heat up water in crock pots to take showers for several days.
It was super fun.
This is my Sunday Morning boiled water in a bucket shower. I took the bucket to the shower, added cool water since it was super hot, and then would use a pitcher to get water out and pour over my head to wash my hair, rinse, ect. 

Again.

Super fun.

Dad wasn't able to fix it on Saturday but he sure tried!
Sunday I felt like I was lookin pretty good!
Especially for having taken a shower out of a five gallon bucket that morning.

I went to church, cried through the 10+ Baptisms, came home, boiled more water to do dishes, cleaned, and had just sat down to relax when my Mom texted Dad had an idea on how to fix it and they were going to Menards and then coming to my house.
He tried again.. Bless his heart. He replaced something and the stupid thing STILL wouldn't light!!!

And that was Sunday night. You'll have to wait until next week's recap to find out what happened.

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 ...

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...

The Bible Recap Day 45- Leviticus 5-7 (Year Three Podcast)

Welcome back to Leviticus Friends! Today we are in chapters 5-7 and I'll admit on the first pass through of it, while listening to it on my Bible app and reading along, I didn't make a ton of notes. But when I listened to the pod things made more sense, and I got a lot more from it. Which is why I highly reccomend listening to the pod after doing your reading. TL breaks it down and shares historical and meanings of things that those of us not steeped in our Hebrew, might not know.  Things I found interesting: She mentioned that God is the only one who has spoken so far in Leviticus. Tomorrow we get a switchup with Moses and Aaron but so far the first 7 chapters have all been God talking! We talk about blood some more, and she again makes the note that it is a reminder of the fall and that God is working on rebuilding Eden. She also notes that blood is given back to God because God is the giver and taker of life.  A question I had, when we were in 5:11, talking about the rich a...
