42/52

10 Weeks until 2018! 

 Monday was cool and raining buckets, and I loved it! I love a good rainy day where I don't have to be anywhere! I was finally able to wear a new to me shirt that I got yard saleing this summer. I love the pale lavender! It's not a color that I really have much of anything in, but it's very pretty!

 I try to either make food ahead or put something in the crock pot on Mondays and Thursdays. Some cozy soup was perfect for the rainy coolness of monday.
 I also baked some cupcakes that afternoon. Funfetti with my new favorite from scratch chocolate icing. Soooooooooooo good!!
 Wednesday I was up two hours earlier than normal, for the first day of my fall Women's Bible Study! It was in the 40's and super chilly, so I dressed warm.
 I put my puffer vest on before leaving for church. It kept me nice and warm and I can't believe I have went this long in life without a puffer vest.
 I wore boots to church and when I got home I put my slipper boots on. If it's cold outside I am most likely wearing my slipper boots. 
 Thursday was a little bit warmer than Weds, but still chilly. So leggings, tunic, and my long cardigan were the outfit of the day.
 I had 5 students in a row. And I was prepared!!Two drinks, a snack if my blood sugar tanked, contact solution, contact case, and glasses in case my contacts got super dry. (Because my contacts are monthly contacts and I've been wearing them since August.. Contacts are expensive!)
 Annnnd the aftermath!! I kicked off my slippers, took off my cardigan because i was hot. Books strewn about the floor by my chair.
 To do pile on my chair, computer that I used for the last two Skype lessons..
 One drink empty, another drink half empty...
My next to last student came earlier in the day, hence the 5 lessons in a row. So I actually had some time for a decent dinner break and to get some things done before my last student of the day. So I put my NSYNC Holiday station on Pandora, and pulled up Finale Notepad to work on a song for a student.


 The weekend was spent huddled on the couch under a blanket, IT. WAS.COLD. I swear we skipped over fall and went right into winter. Anyways, I was bundled up and watched a lot of tv and read. It was nice! Saturday pm I wasn't feeling so great so I decided to stay home from church on Sunday.

Thankfully Sunday afternoon I was feeling better and working on my Halloween Costume. I had a great idea for a costume, but had the idea a little too late for it to be made. So I went with Plan B! And Plan B was free, so there's that!

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
