9/52

Last week we kicked off the week with 1!! day until my birthday! It was also my Grandma's birthday, In heaven, and I spent the day thinking about her a lot.
I got several tops from my parents for my birthday so I wore one of them on Monday.
I got a special package in the mail from my former piano teacher, Dr. E. and I was so excited!!!! I love his care packages of piano books!!
I had to snap a picture and send to my friend Cindy. This was one of our favorite songs in college. (Definitely NOT PCC Approved!) She wanted to hear it so I happily obliged and played a little bit of it on a video for her.
 Nothing like sitting by some festive birthday balloons while one teaches!

 There are no pictures of me on my birthday because I did not shower or put makeup on. and it was kind of wonderful! It was really nice outside so I had the windows open all day long. I got to have a special birthday phone date with Audra and talk to Addie bear! It was wonderful!!

The next day I added a new countdown to my chalkboard.

HA!
 My selfie game as a 36 year old is strong.

 It was still somewhat warm outside, I ran errands and got my allergy shot in the morning and had to come back home and put on a lighter top and sandals. Love the warm burst of weather!

Wednesday also marked 4 years since my Grandma went to Heaven. I spent the day thinking about her, and thanking God that she is healed from the cancer. I played the song I played at her memorial service (It is well) several times that day.

 Sporting another new birthday top!

 One of my students brought me two cookies, unbaked. It was a genius idea. They put the info on how to bake them on the baggie and I could make them then, or put them in the freezer for later. Saturday afternoon I was needing some chocolate so I made them and SWEET MERCY THEY WERE DELICIOUS!! I am still dreaming about those cookies.
 Sunday I was looking like a pirate in another new top. It had really funky sleeves that I never got a great picture of. But it was cute! I also have funky eye liner because I was doing my makeup and my hand slipped and I did an accidental cat eye on one eye. Well. then I had to decide if i should wipe it off or try to do a matching one on the other eye. Y'all. I thought I was possibly going to be late to church fixing my stupid eye. I never fully got it and that's just fine. I was on time to church!
 Sunday afternoon I was getting stuff DONE!! I worked on painting my new shelf I got for my birthday. Its Wednesday night as i'm writing this post and I finally finished the last coat!
Painting is relaxing.

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
