Got to see my Niece over the Christmas break

Yay!  And her husband.  I love them.  They're neat people.

Done

I'm done my Christmas shopping.  Still have to grocery shop though.  Hoping to claim some Christmas Spirit this week.

Christmas Shopping

I think I'm done!

Snow

The little birds are so cute all fluffed up and chubby looking in their feather coats.

Fun

This one is just plain true.  Had a ton of fun baking cookies with the girls from my Middle School Bible Study tonight.  And we filled the church kitchen with smoke because the oven needs to be cleaned.

Drama

Is something I do not pursue.  I try to keep from being sucked into drama.  I have enough real drama without borrowing any or inventing any.

Life

God has arranged my life so that almost all the activities of every day are for Him.  I think thats pretty awesome.

God

God does what He does and there is no use in worrying.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Opens today

Pumpkin

I love Pumpkin anything so today I am making Paula Deen's Pumpkin Bars.  Yum.

Autumn

Is a very beautiful time of the year in the mid-atlantic.

China

I have started using my china that I received as a wedding present to drink my morning coffee.  It makes me happy.

Sometimes

I feel like I want to tear my own skin off.  I think it's hormonal.  Bright side=an easy way to lose some weight.  Not sure how well the body would function without skin though.

My Sister Looks10 to 20 Years Younger Than Her Actual Age

I hope I've inhereted some of those genes.

What Does it Mean

when your eyeballs hurt?

On Leaky Basements

I will sleep well tonight.

On Being Sad

One day I will live in a place where there is no sadness, sickness, sin, pain, death, or evil. I will be happy there.

Oh it Was Hot, Hot, Hot Today at Soccer

I got a little September sun.

On Pain

For me, pain is a prompt to seek answers.

No sarcasm

The past 3 days have been absolutely beautiful. Blue skies, no humidity, and temps in the 70's. Perfect.

I've got nothing

I can't find the bright side of anything right now.

On A 65 Degree Day in August

I can open up the windows and air out the house.

OK

So, I guess you get the idea that this is sort of tongue in cheek. I am really a pessimist and have been trying to be more positive lately because no one likes a debbie downer. But really, when I have a negative thought, I try to think of the bright side and then I post it. Sometimes the positives will sound a bit sarcastic. That's who I am. I am a last born so it's really inevitable if you believe in that sort of thing. Anyway, posting the positives helps me to realign my thinking and actually be more positive. And it's funny. I think so anyway. If I don't think I'm funny who else will?? I crack myself up.

On Having Two Sick Kids on the First Day of School

We homeschool, so they won't get anyone else sick.

On My Kids Always Wanting to Play With Their Neighbor Friends

On Flooding Rain

Everyone's pools are full to the brim now.

On Wet Dog Smell

We have rain after a period of drought!

On Going to a New School

On the first day at a completely new school where you know noone, you can completely re-invent yourself and be whoever you want to be.

On Anne Rice Renouncing Christianity

Christians will step back and look at themselves and see if they are offending each other or the world by their actions or if they are living a life like Jesus.
