Chocolate was not my Friend this Afternoon

I was so very hungry by the time lunch break came around this afternoon. I had to run an errand before I could grab something to eat, so I decided to eat a stick of the new 90 calorie crunch bar. Yum! But the sad news is that a piece of chocolate fell in the seat and I didn’t realize until I got out of the car and saw melted chocolate on my leather car seat. Yes, that meant that I had chocolate on my rear – the chocolate literally went straight to my butt. Fortunately I was wearing darker pants and I got most of it off, so you couldn’t even tell. Praise the Lord I didn’t go for light pants this morning! I think this is just confirmation that I need to lay off the sweets.

I'm Thankful

It’s become a tradition in our family to say what we’re thankful for after the Thanksgiving meal. God has blessed me more than I possibly deserve!

In no particular order…

• Bar-b-que instead of turkey for Thanksgiving
• Salvation
• Eric :)
• My wonderful family including my adorable nephew
• The best friends ever
• An awesome church family
• A new job
• Living in America
• God’s Provision
• And a whole bunch more
  

Thank-you Lord for Your blessings.

Happy Thanksgiving!

HaPpY bIrThDaY!!!

Today is my wonderful sister's birthday...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELANIE!!!

Nothing Difficult is Ever Easy*

Eric and I are trying to get his bathroom re-modeled before his parents come down to visit for Thanksgiving. We didn’t think it would take too long, but here’s what happened:

• Went to Home Depot and Lowes and Target to buy everything
• Took down fixtures to re-paint
• Found out the fixtures left huge holes in the walls
• Tape and Floated the walls
• Painted walls with two coats
• Put the new facet on the brand new granite counter top and sink
• Went to Home Depot to buy new hoses for the sink
• Went back to Home Depot to exchange the recently bought hoses and buy another size
• Put the sink on the counter top only to find it was too big for the counter
• Extended the counter top by using pieces from the medicine cabinet
• This time the sink fit on the top
• Found out the plumbing didn’t match up
• Next Day: Went to Home Depot to buy PVC pipe
• Went back to Home Depot to exchange recently bought pipe and buy another size
• Cut and matched up the PVC pipe
• Yay! It’s all done!
  

Whew! It’s finally finished. Our project took a lot longer than expected but it looks great. Now we just have to clean up. I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving – maybe we’ll get some rest.

Some One Must be Really Happy

I find it odd that I went to the restroom and some one was humming while taking care of business. Humm...

Blonde Moment

The other day I sat at a stop sign waiting for it to turn green... I blame it on being tired.
