Its been awhile since I’ve “dressed up”. Most Sunday, I either wear slacks and a nice sweater or blouse, or when I do wear a dress, I don’t accessorize. But, within time, I would like to turn some of my lifestyle habits around, making them better, and get to a point […]

The elders at the church we attend (and also where I am secretary) are in the early stages of putting together a Shepherding program. I gave them an updated list of the members, and they split the families among them, giving them each a list of families to pray for, to send notes […]

This has been THE strangest winter. You watch the weather report. You stock up. You prepare. And then for us … its not been nearly as bad as they predicted. We’ve gotten some snow, some ice, and other yucky weather when they said we would, but it has always skirted around us. We breath a […]

It sounded like bacon sizzling outside. It was sleeting, and was just not a good deal outside. But, I ventured on into the church, and got my mission accomplished, for the most part. I have 50 directories run and bound, and ready for distribution. I will do the other 25 tomorrow. […]

The church directory is ready to run and distribute. That is my project for tomorrow. And its only Thursday, so at the trucking company, […]

Somedays, I feel like I am juggling one ball too many. And I’m going to drop it, and the rest of them will come tumbling down as well. I did make a list over at my Life Simplified blog, and that has helped quite a bit … calming the anxiety of knowing I am probably […]

When I was at the grocery store today, I ran into someone who used to go to our church. She didn’t leave on good terms, but she hasn’t let her feelings about “the church” reflect on me. She is always really friendly, and for that, I am grateful. I had seen […]

Fill in the blank: My favorite food is Mexcian but I like Italian too.

I keep thinking about we will do for Ethan when he graduates next year. Since he has a passion for drama and theatre, I know that he would be estatic if we would book a trip to New York and take him to a Broadway show. But, if we were to do this […]

David never ceased to amaze me. He is not someone to go out and spend money foolishly, or extravagantly. And he hates going into debt. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel … in just a couple of years, we will be debt free. Our house will […]

After I got an iPod Touch for Christmas, and Ethan used his money to buy a regular iPod, our MP3 players seem to have gathered dust since then. But I hate to get rid of them — when Ethan goes on a trip or out of town, I really don’t want him taking his […]

Mother Nature was such a tease earlier this week. I think it was Tuesday, it was won-der-ful. I stepped out of the church at noon, and locked the door, and it was so warm and spring like. I just automatically felt so much better. Had a spring in my step, and […]

We are on a cleaning spree this afternoon. Ethan is home for a change, and I’m taking advantage of the extra help. As I look around the living room, the thought just occurred to me that we have THE perfect wall for a tv wall mount system. It would totally switch things […]
