New Hair Cut :)

Before

After
Wow I thought I was going to get 4 inches cut today but after I saw it I decided on 2 more inches. I really like it at the moment ... guess I'll really know when I go to pull it up. LOL Already tried my clip and it didn't work. While waiting on these pictures to upload I tried a ponytail and it works. :) So I'll still be able to pull my hair up when I work out. I really couldn't believe how long my hair had gotten. PS Forgot to take a picture of the back before the hair cut.

It's been a busy week. I think they just get faster and faster. I finished up reading "How to Forgive when You Can't Forget" last night, it was a pretty good book. I found myself having to reread some sentences to make sure I understood what I was reading, but took lots of great notes. Debated starting back to read Joyce Meyer "The Confident Woman" but after the morning I had I decided on "Safe People ... How to Find Relationships That Are Good For You & Avoid Those That Aren't" by Dr Henry Cloud and Dr John Townsend. Hoping to learn a lot of great things from this book. It came highly recommended by a good friend of mine. I got me a handy dandy notebook instead of note cards this time ... I kept having to grab note cards so I figured a notebook would be a lot better. :)

Got most of the house cleaned up this morning then I got to go have lunch w/my son before his doctors appointment. Doctor said he was fine just to finish up the medicine he was taking. Now I just hope we don't have to go back for awhile. LOL Seems like everytime I turn around since the day before school let out I've been taking him to the ER or the doctor. I asked them today if I could trade him in. Now I really wouldn't do that because even though he knows how to push my buttons he always makes me laugh.

Great memory verse for today is "Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil. 1:6

Remember ... GOD IS GOOD ... HE IS STILL IN CONTROL & HE IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED AND HONORED!!!

If you're ever going to love me,

A Poem from the book I'm reading "How to Forgive When You Can't Forget" Charles Klein



If you're ever going to love me,

Love me now,

While I can know,

The sweet and tender feelings,

Which from true affection flow,

Love me now,

While I am living,

Do not wait until I'm gone,

And then have it chiseled in marble,

Sweet words on ice stone.

If you ever have tender thoughts of me,

Please tell me now.

If you wait until I am sleeping,

Never to awaken,

There will be death between us,

And I won't hear you then.

So if you love me,

Even a little bit,

Let me know it while I am living,

So I can treasure it.

~Anonymous~


I thought that was just awesome!!!

There's nothing like ....

There's nothing like ....

 

Well I got started in "How to Forgive When you Can't Forget" by Charles Klein ... it's sort of hard to read. I find myself having to read sentences just to figure out what I'm reading ... so I guess I'm saying I wish it was an easier read, but I have getting some great notes from the book. I got out my concordance this morning searching for stuff I picked up out of the book. :) Soon as I'm finished here going to get back at it. My time was cut short I had to take my son to the ER but that was fine.

So we started our morning at the ER ... I thought the spot on my sons ankle was where he had been bitten by a tick. It still could be a bite from a tick, spider, or just an open wound that got infected ... the infection spread up his leg and caused the lymph node in his groin area to enlarge. So after getting instructions from the doctor and prescriptions we headed off to the drug store and a quick trip home. Then we left again right before 12 to go to pick up his medicine and then to meet up w/Meagan to go eat lunch. That's when I thought I had a brilliant idea to get my toes and nails done. :) Meagan had a gift certificate so we went and got it then headed to VyVy nails for pampering ... then Meagan had been talking about getting her hair cut so we waited 45 minutes to get her hair cut I'm going back next Saturday .... doing to get my cut in a stack in the back and long in the front :) I can't wait to see what it's going to look like. I'll try to remember to take a before picture and an after picture. I meant to do that before I started working out but forgot so maybe I'll be better this time. :) Well my son wasn't a happy camper with me so I took him out for ice cream and that seemed to work at settling him down from being mad at me. :) Now he's gone to play golf and I'm enjoying the quiet time. :)

Well I'm on a roll ... maybe I can keep it up ... 2 days in a row now

Well I keep saying ...

Well I keep saying I'm going to get better at my blog but I haven't gotten there yet. LOL I've been busy reading and I bought a wii fit which is way fun. I didn't feel like I was getting the workout I wanted with it ... so I went in search for something else. I found the EA Sports Personal Trainer and I love it!!! I'm doing the 30 day challenge right now & have noticed that my clothes are starting to be big :) now that puts a smile on my face. So now I'm doing the Personal Trainer and only using the wii fit for keeping up w/my BMI and weight. (now it does make me angry w/the Wii age LOL)

Things have been hectic at work since I got back. I'm still playing catch up and not sure how much longer that is going to take me. It seems like every time I think I'm going to get some extra time my desk & in box gets slammed. I'm not complaining because I feel blessed to have the job that I have. In fact the first of July was my 7th anniversary of employment :).

I'm starting back the book "How to Forgive when You can't Forget" ... hoping to finish it this time ... then I plan on either finishing up Joyce Meyer's book "The Confident WOMAN" or starting "Safe People". That's the plan anyways then once I finish these 3 books I'll take a look and see if I want to read another Joyce Meyer or start back w/fiction books again. I need to go to the library to see if they have the Karen Kingsbury book I'm missing and I'm not wanting to have to order it and pay shipping. Yeah Yeah I know I'm a cheap, but still I'd rather plan a road trip to Anderson and find it at the book store. :)

Well this was short even though I haven't posted in while I'm wanting to get to my workout for today before it gets any later. :)

Oh My It's been awhile

Oh my can't believe how long it's been since I blogged :( will try to get better at this but got lots going on. :) Lets see where to begin. I've been a Grandma since March 3rd of this year. Then in April I had surgery and this month I've started counting calories (that isn't fun at all).

Sierra made her presence know March 3rd that was just awesome words can't describe that. I never want to forget that moment and I hope I get to experience it again but much later on. LOL Can't belive it's been over 3 months now but she is a cutie I call her SweetPea :)
My surgery went great ... still don't think my hormones are right yet ... been told it takes about six months :( but I'm at the stage where I just like being by myself. :( I know that's not good but I've been getting lots of reading done during this time. In fact I tell myself every Saturday night that I'm going to get up the next morning and head to church, but end up in my chair watching the New Spring Webcampus instead ... it can be found at the following link on Sundays at 11:15, 2 and 6 http://www.newspring.cc/webcampus . On a plus note instead of being out of work six weeks I was only out 4 weeks which was great.

Yes I started counting calories on Wednesday, June 17th, and discovered that I'm not eating enough but I was sick that day. So I've been writting down everything including breath mints LOL I'm averaging around 1500+ calories a day and according to the webmd web site I only 1200 calories. Now I did buy a Wii Fit for me and my son and so far I've stuck w/it for 10 straight days. :) I skipped today well except to show my son something so I think I got in 8 minutes but I guess that's better than skipping the whole day.

This weekend was a busy weekend for me ... well it started on Thursday night during the storm. I cleaned the carpet in my sons room, then on Friday I got home and worked on trying to clean the siding, then worked out on the wii for 30 minutes then cleaned the carpet in my living room/dinning room (don't use the dinning room as a dinning room use it for a computer / puzzle area instead. Then on Saturday I went and got groceries and came home was washed the siding out back and then out front ... I still got to clean the windows (but I hate cleaning windows!) I also found time to do the Wii and then I read until bedtime.

Project Sort of Complete

I finished the blanket today. ;) In between being sick ... I've got to block it then I'll get a picture of it so I can post. That will be later in the week because tomorrow I have practice and Wednesday I have counseling. Wednesday will be a very sad day due to having to tell my counselor good bye but I think I have decided not to continue with my counseling. If I see that I need to start back then I'll leave that option open.
Now I'm going to start reading ... I bought me 2 new books Saturday by Karen Kingsbury. I have a Robert Whitlow book and a Beth Moore book I'd like to read. Really I've got lots of books on my agenda to get read so I think now will be a good time to start. Going to start out w/the Shack ... I've heard mixed reviews on it. You can check out my bookshelf at the following link. http://www.shelfari.com/tina29646 This link is from a pastor that does not agree with someone reading the shack http://http://www.marshillchurch.org/search/results?q=the+shack This pastor tells you to read it and let it stretch you but not to let it replace your scripture reading it's a fiction book http://http://www.perrynoble.com/2009/01/27/how-do-you-feel-aboutthe-shack/.
Well it's time to watch Monday night TV ... House is the show for me :)

Hard Week & Sad Day

Man it's been one more week. If you follow me on twitter or facebook then you know how yesterday was. I'll recap here what's been going on. :) Let's see last week we had our year in Auditors at work and they were back this week well that is until Wednesday. Then we had another set of auditors come in Monday of this week and they were asking for stuff from 2005 and 2006 ... yep FUN FUN ... but it really hasn't been that bad. It's been lots of extra work but I haven't stressed as much as I thought I would. Wednesday I left work early but told the auditors I'd be back and ready to answer questions on Thursday morning. Well I had gotten off work early on Wednesday to go to my daughters ultra sound with her and she ended up being admitted to the hospital for fluids. Come to find out her amniotic fluid was low was why she was having to have the fluids run by IV. So I called my boss when I got home last night and explained to him that I wasn't sure if I'd be at work Thursday but would come in if things were ok with my daughter ... she was having another ultra sound to check the amniotic fluid and if it was up she would be able to go home if not we were told they would take the baby. Well her fluid was up to 14 this morning so she got to go home. I'm thankful for all my friends who sent up prayers for Meagan and Sierra yesterday and last night. :) So needless to say this has been a very interesting week for me.
Then tonight I had counseling and found out that next Wednesday evening will be my last session. :( My counselor is moving out of state ... so that was and is going to be very sad for me. She told me she would recommend me to another counselor that she felt like I would do well with but said that it was my decision. I about cried when she told me but I was able to control it. Guess I just know how far I've come since I've been seeing her. In fact I've thought several times that I was almost to the point of where I wouldn't be going much longer but it was such a blow tonight finding out that she is leaving. I thought about it on my way home and was reminded of an email I once received about how some people come into our lives for a season or two or three and sometimes forever. I know that if it weren't for my counselor I'd probably still be stuck in a rut somewhere and I've made great progress and I'm really going to miss her but will stay in touch with her. I'll be able to email her and still share things with her about my children and soon to be granddaughter. :) Still debating if I will see another counselor or not but I just feel like my counselor is not replaceable and that maybe it's just time for me to not really end that season but end that season if that makes sense. It does to me so I guess that's all that matters.
Oh yeah just found out today for sure that our practice is being moved from Sunday afternoons to Tuesday evenings and I think I'm EXCITED about that. I'll have to get use to going on Tuesdays after work but once I get the schedule change down pat I'll be adjusted to it. That's the only draw back to be a scheduled person is when you have a change in your schedule it really messes you up. LOL Knowing that you have OCD makes it a little easier to be able to tell why things are just driving you crazy. It's not that I don't like change because change can be a good thing some times it just takes me a little bit to adjust. Well since I am such a scheduled person even down to my bed time I've got to stop here so I can head toward the bed now. LOL

Got the Fever

WOW I got the Spring Fever!!! The past 2 nights so far I've come home from work and CLEANED up and out. Monday night I worked in my attic and my sons' room until I was too tired to do any more. So tonight when I got home we started back on his room, He's still got a few things left in his room to do but his closet has been cleaned out and put back in an orderly fashion. :) I've left him in charge of straightening out what's left and pointed out things I think he needs to work on. Then I moved on to the living room and laundry room. I cleaned the desk area but still got the filing to do. (Not one of my favorite things to do even when I'm in a cleaning mood.) Cleaned up the living room and then pulled everything that was movable out of the laundry room and cleaned up the swept the dust up. LOL The laundry room wouldn't have been that bad but I moved a flower into my laundry room the beginning of winter and it shed every where making the worst mess every had to wipe everything down and shake everything out. Now I've got the kitchen and my room left ... I think my room will be the hardest of all. :( I've got tons of stuff I need to figure out how to organize. Think I'll start in my closet, then the bathroom leaving the bedroom itself to last. :)
Well tomorrow is hump day and the last day at work on the good auditors (that's what my boss calls them) they are leaving sometime after lunch. The other auditors will be there until Friday ... well that is one will be working on Friday the other 5 or 6 are leaving Thursday afternoon headed back to Denver. :) It's really been ok with the auditors as far as I'm concerned and I'm just hoping that we get great news and that we've done a great job and that they didn't find very many errors. Time will tell.
PS Tomorrow I'm going to the doctor w/my daughter ... I'll get to see Sierra and I'm SO EXCITED!!! I can't wait until she gets here so I can hold her and spank her little butt!! LOL She's already rotten and she's not even here yet.

Project Update




Well I've finally taken a picture of the project so I could post an updated picture. I think I have 20 more rows to go (15 of those are the pattern rows then 5 just plain on knitting rows) then I have to pick up stitches on each side and do 4 rows to the sides. Never done anything like that w/my knitting so that will be a learning experience for me and I hope that I don't mess it up. Might have to just finish it up w/those 8 rows missing. We'll see and I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing. Did an up close shot so you could see the front and back side. :) Not to happy w/the lighting on the picture I took of the over all project.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Last night we (Meagan, Kyle and I) kept Dallas. He belongs to Meagan's aunts friend. It wasn't that bad ... we went to I-Hop and then Dallas went to sleep on the way home. :) Not sure what time he woke up but Kyle got up with him. I heard them in the kitchen so I got up at the same time Meagan was getting up. Decided on oatmeal for his breakfast and that was a site ... wish I could have gotten a video of that. I'm guessing he'd never had oatmeal before, he spit it out then wouldn't let me use the spoon to rake it off his face. LOL He did end up eating the oatmeal though. After his mom came to pick him up Meagan and Kyle left to go home and me and my son got ready to go.
Meagan and Kyle were going to Anderson as were me and my son. They went to the Jockey Lot while me and my son went to Hobby Lobby, Books a Million, and then we met up with them at the Anderson Mall. I did find another all EDGES puzzle, and we found a board we could use to put on the card table so we can work the New York City puzzle we bought a few weeks back. At the book store I found Sierra a book and I found a turtle that's a magnifier. :) (it will come in handy when we work the all EDGE puzzle wish we had of had one with the sports all EDGE puzzle we just finished) At the mall found the little knives I had been hunting for at Christmas but couldn't find so now I'll have them next time I need them. :) Got my son a very expensive hat ... not sure how I got suckered into that but I did tell him I'd buy him a hat guess I should have given him a price limit. (Lesson Learned) Left the mall and I wanted to go in the Lifeway Christian Bookstore and got me the WOW Hits 2009 (Great CD) So now I'm home relaxing watching tv and trying to stay awake. :)

WOW It's Finished!!!


Finished the puzzle last night right before 10 and it had a missing piece. Well I thought my son had hid some puzzle pieces because he had been kidding around about hiding them so he could be the one who finished it. :) Well I found 2 pieces that had fallen off under the table upside down they blended in with the carpet. So that left 1 piece and I was hunting for it ... I asked my son this morning if he would get the piece he hid and he was like I was picking on you. So I looked again for the one missing piece and I found it in the bag that the puzzle had came in. :) So now we've got it set up so we can glue it and I've got to measure it so I can get a frame for it.
Can't believe I'm going to say this but I think I wouldn't mind working another one of these crazy puzzles. My son on the other hand said "Can't you buy me a regular puzzle?" We picked out a puzzle a couple of weeks ago but got to figure out where we can work it because my card table isn't big enough. Wal-Mart has a table I started to buy when I got the one I got now may have to get it but got to justify buying a long table first. Guess it could be useful for taking outside to use for potting flowers.

WOW making Progress

The first picture you see was taken Wednesday night after I finished working on the puzzle and the second one was taken Thursday night. My son did help me put a few pieces together tonight. :) Then he went on to tell me how much of it he had done. LOL




Can't get any worse

I so wonder about people sometimes, I tell myself all the time I'm not going to let people get to me but some how I ended up letting them. I tell myself if they can live with themselves then so can I. I know they will have to answer for their actions one day not me. So anyways that is my venting for today ... debating working on my project or the puzzle one but the girls at work said not to work on the puzzle tonight since I was already flustered. I'll try to post a picture of the puzzle either tomorrow or Friday one and oh yeah the project too. :)

The Darn Puzzle




Oh my Goodness this crazy puzzle ... I was up until 11:30 last night. Not sure if we'll ever finish. Believe it or not we are moving right along with it. :) May not look like it by the picture but we are I promise.

Caught in the act :)


My son wanted to try out my new camera and I was working on my project that night ... so guess who he took pictures of? Guess we could have picked up some before snapping pictures. I'll have to take a picture and post again because the project is coming right along. I have 36 rows left and 2 of those I'm dreading, but once I get passed that it'll be ok. :)

Puzzle Update




I snapped a picture of my son working on his crazy puzzle. :) He's actually doing a great job on it to say it's as hard as it is. I also took a picture of of his biggest progress ... he was so excited. I think if I ever buy an all edges puzzle again he'll be very upset with me. I've told him it's very good for him to work his mind with this puzzle. I'll post some pictures later of his/our progress. :)

Is this not the most beautiful picture you ever seen???

Hearts

















Saw these laying out at my daughters' today and grabbed them so I could get a picture. :) This was what I made her for Christmas 2008. I did these pillowcases and then I did a his and hers set for some friends of mine. Then I did a table runner with snowmen on it for a friend at work.

33 weeks


I stole this picture off of my daughters blog. This is a picture of her belly (duh) at 33 weeks. Looks like to me she still got a long ways to go because she hasn't started dropping yet. Wonder if she could hold out for April???? I'm still sticking with the date I picked but going to get her to take another picture a week or so before then so I can make a final pick. LOL
The baby shower is Saturday and I've got to figure out what I'm going to take to it and what I'm just going to load in the car to take to her house ... I hate to wrap presents.

Belly picture of Sierra


This is a picture of Sierra before her arrival which is still over a month away. I have guessed that she will be here March 11th (her due date is the March 17) and weigh 6.7 pounds and have red hair and brown eyes like her Grandma (I'm going to have Sierra call me ma-ma). Meagan guessed 15 pounds blonde hair and blue eyes. Now she is saying blonde changing to red or red changing to blonde. Meagan's guess for tonight is I don't know. Kyle thinks bigger than 6.7 pounds. I'll post an update later on about this. =)

My Son's Puzzle
























This is what my son has been working on and I ended up helping him some tonight. The puzzle is an all edges. Fun Fun ... I had the attitude of him tonight, I quit like he did when he first opened it.

In Memory of Snuggie December 30, 2008















This little guy was my parents life and their baby. It's been very hard on them and my mom is still having a hard time you can't tell it with my dad but I'm sure he's still down under about it too. It was a very sad night is all I can say. My son was very upset about it as well, he had gotten attached to Snuggie when he was staying there after school. He use to be scared of Snuggie cause Snuggie would bite him and attack him when we'd go over there cause you see Snuggie didn't like sudden movements or the hyperness of my son. Snuggie was one of a kind and he will be missed greatly. I don't have anyone to give a treat to now when I go out to my parents house. (Snuggie would get a treat when I'd go in I guess cause I was a good girl. LOL)

Project


This is what I've been working on since after Christmas. This is the 1/2 point and I wanted to get a picture and post it on my blog. What better way to do it than with my new Camera. :) Been looking online at camera's and talking and asking questions and I finally just jumped in head first and bought on. I'll post a finished picture if I don't forget. ha-ha I did some projects at Christmas but forgot to take pictures so I could post them here. Let me tell you I was stressing because I didn't know if I'd finish in time but I did all except my sons and he's got a birthday coming up in March so I may have time to get his done then I can take a picture of it and post it. ;)

When a Friend Betrays (Purpose Driven Life)

Yep you guessed it I'm playing catch up on my emails and came across this one and couldn't help but post it to my blog to share with others. :)



When a Friend Betraysby When a Friend Betrays
He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman. Psalm 15:2-3 (NIV)
*** *** *** ***Here are three steps toward learning to trust again when a friend betrays:Reveal your hurt to God. Vent your frustrations to God. Tell him about the friend who betrayed your most intimate secret, the family member who broke a promise one too many times, or the co-worker who deliberately worked to make you look bad even while she pretended to be supporting you.God will never be surprised or upset by your anger, your hurt, or your sense of loss over betrayal. You can tell him exactly how you feel, and trust him to understand.Release those who’ve offended you. Forgiveness does not mean you instantly trust your friend again. God teaches us to forgive instantly and for as many times as it takes; however, trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust must be re-earned.Forgiveness doesn’t mean you have to resume the relationship immediately, and it also doesn’t mean you have to resume it without any change. Your friend, or family member, will only be able to rebuild your trust over time as he or she consistently and humbly shows that he or she is “one who lives honestly, practices righteousness, and acknowledges the truth in [his/her] heart – who does not slander with [his/her] tongue, who does not harm [his/her] friend or discredit [his/her] neighbor …” (Psalm 15:2-3 HCSB).Re-focus your life. Don’t let anyone, particularly someone who has betrayed your trust, maintain a grip on your emotions. No doubt you’re feeling angry and hurt, but rather than trying to resist those thoughts, re-direct them.For instance, try to see the situation from God’s perspective, and remember his ability to take things that are hurtful or mean-spirited in our lives and turn them into good. © 2008 Purpose Driven Life.

Love Is an Actionby Rick Warren
Dear children, let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions. 1 John 3:18 (NLT) *** *** *** ***Love is something you do. Do you really love someone? Let’s see how you act toward that person. You show love by what you do, not just by what you feel.Love is more than attraction and more than arousal. It’s also more than sentimentality, like so many of today’s songs suggest. By this standard, is love dead when the emotion is gone? No, not at all. Because love is an action; love is a behavior.Over and over again, in the Bible, God commands us to love each other. And you can’t command an emotion. If I told you “Be sad!” right now, you couldn’t be sad on cue. Just like an actor, you can fake it, but you’re not wired for your emotions to change on command. Have you ever told a little kid, “Be happy!” I’m trying, daddy! If love were just an emotion, then God couldn’t command it. But love is something you do. It can produce emotion, but love is an action. The Bible says, “Let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions” (1 John 3:18 NLT). We can talk a good act: “I love people.” But do we really love them? Do you really love them? Our love is revealed in how we act toward them. © 2008 Purpose Driven Life. All rights reserved.

Busy but who's not???

Man I've been so busy and I know that my blog is feeling very lonely. LOL I thought once Christmas was over I'd have some down time but I was so wrong. :) I'm working on a new project now and it's very time consuming :( but in the end I know it will be great. I hate that I didn't well forgot to take pictures of the projects I did at Christmas so I could post pictures. Maybe I can get my daughter to send me a picture of what I did for her. :)

Don't forget the Bible reading for this year.

Guess I'd better get busy here it is Sunday and I've been home since Wednesday evening in my PJ's and haven't done a thing except shower put PJ's back on and work on my project. So I'm washing clothes and working on my project today.
