8/52- The Start of my Birthday Week!!!!

Last week's weather can be summed up in two words. Wind and Rain. And my hair forecasted the weather QUITE well. it was huge and massively curly all week long.
Wednesday the countdown to my birthday got serious! Less than a week!
I posted this on IG, but I have to laugh when I see this picture. All I can see is my pianist fingers and the space between my pinky and ring fingers. # I like big chords and I cannot lie!

So Thursdays I don't teach until later in the afternoon. I Always think I will get a ton of work done at home and on the computer. And I usually end up running errands. That day I had a chiro apt, and then had to run to Aldi for groceries to make my special Sunday lunch for my birthday party with my parents.And I went somewhere else, but I can't remember where.......
I failed at taking pictures Friday and Saturday, but nothing exciting happened.

Sunday I was super excited for the day and really thankful to be feeling well. Last year my chronic illness flared up on the day my parents came and I was in pain and felt like hurling the entire time. I was really thankful that wasn't the case this year. Also, I'm sporting another new FREE Sears top!

TWO MORE DAYS!!

I got to church way early, even after stopping at McD's for a Coke for myself and a sweet tea for my Dad. I had purchased a new coffee creamer at Aldi. Italian Sweet Cream. I usually am a Mocha or Peppermint Mocha creamer but they were out, so I grabbed this. I did not see Coconut on the ingredients list but y'all. It was coconutty. And I DO NOT LIKE coconut. I couldn't even finish my coffee Sunday morning it was so bad. Luckily my Dad loves coconut so I sent it home with him!

I met my parents and stayed with them through the singing and then during the actual sermon I had to step out and attend a meeting for Team Leaders for the role I serve in at church. 

After church was over, and my meeting wrapped up I met my parents and we headed out!


So I got this ring light for my cell phone, so you don't have to walk around holding your phone up to find decent light. Mom said it blinded her. That is the price we pay for a good picture Mom!!!!
I made some crockpot chicken taco soup and it was delish! And my Parents brought a DQ Ice Cream cake! So yummy!!
I'm trying to pose with my cake since for the second year in a row people ignore me when it's cake time.........
And this is the face you make right after your Dad STICKS HIS FINGER IN THE ICING!!!!!

I told him he was cutting that piece and eating it since his finger had been in it.

# Turning into a Parent

# Frightening
It's really hard to get a picture with all three of us in it, lined up and looking good. Especially when the ring light is on and I can't see half of the screen. So I tried for a picture with just my Dad and this is the face I get.  At least he looks happy!!!!
My Mom made me the neatest pillow case! Its made out of one of our Northview shirts! I gave my Dad one that didn't fit me two Christmases ago. Apparently he never wore it, so my Mom fashioned it into a pillow care for me! It's perfect and matches my living room to a T!!

Happy Birthday week to me!!!!

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...

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...
