39/52





 Well this week is picture light because I slightly forgot to take pictures a few days. Whoopsie!

So I'll add in these two pictures even though they were last Sunday night. My neighbors finally got done moving and I say finally because it took them two long weeks to move all their stuff out. They left a bunch of trash out, and I had mentioned it to my Mom and said something about a lamp being out there. She was immediately interested as she was DIY'ing some lamps and she and Dad both know how to rewire a lamp so even a broken one would work for her. So I waited until it got dark outside and plundered their trash. The things I do..!


 I had spied something wooden, and I decided to take it as well because we all know I like taking things from trash and repurposing them!! This thing isn't in the best shape, so it's going to need a little work done on it before I can paint it, but I do like a challenge! And you can't beat free, Amen?!

 Monday afternoon despite it still being warm outside, I was in need of some comfort food. So I whipped up a small batch of Apple Bread. And cream cheese icing. You can see I went sparingly with the icing... not.
 I just felt heavy all day, I watched the news reports of Vegas, and cried several times for the families and friends, and for those who were hurt. It reminded me somewhat of 9/11. I felt like I was in a daze, but I had to pull myself together to teach. And when you teach kids, things like this aren't really appropriate. So I had to perk myself up, put on a happy face, and do my job. I decided that Monday of all days, needed some happy music. So I put on my Piano Guys Christmas Pandora Station on my tv. It didn't cover the sadness, but it was like a warm hug. And let's be real, I have been listening to Christmas music since the end of August. # The Christmas Recital is coming soon!



Thursday it was a bit cooler so I broke out one of my new long sleeved garage sale finds! Love having new to me clothes!
One of my students showed up to her lesson wearing a crown. Which was awesome. And then at the end she said she had an extra one for me!! SO sweet!!

 Sunday rolled around and it was my Team's week to serve. I busted out a maxi skirt and sandals to go along with my ugly orange serving shirt, and had to add a cardigan to that when i was at church. brrrr..... Part of the brrrr was because I was getting sick. I woke up Sunday morning and thought crud. I am getting sinus stuff. As the morning and day went on I wasn't just getting it, I had it. My throat hurt so bad.
 Thankfully Makeup covers a multitude of issues, and I didn't look as terrible as I felt! All of our volunteers showed up this month and we didn't have any special offerings so things were SO much smoother than last month! I was quite thankful for that! Last month was my first month as the Team Leader and it was stressful. 


We had an extra long sermon, so I hung out in the Info Desk area, in one of the comfy chairs for awhile. 

Sunday afternoon I ran some errands and then went home and tried to get some cleaning done quickly as I was really not feeling well by then, and I knew it was only going to get worse. Spoiler alert, it did. But that's for next week's recap!!

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
