Copying Steph's (who's copying Heather's) Blog
So I dont really have anything to blog about today so I thought I would steal Steph's idea to copy Heather's blog:
1. What are the names of the kids you used to babysit?
In junior high school, I only babysat one family of kiddos for a couple of months, but got too busy with school activities after that. Unfortunately, I don't remember their names, but it was a family of 4 children with a 6-week old infant to a 5 year old, which was really tough for a junior high babysitter to handle!!
2. Do you prefer hot sandwiches or cold sandwiches? Cold
3. What was the highlight of your week? Having Jon come home from college and getting ready for a little family "get-together" tomorrow.
4. What color shirt are you wearing? Yellow
5. What was your favorite subject in school? Business classes
6. What do you like about Mondays? It's a new opportunity to tackle things that are still outstanding on my desk at work!
7. What are three of the most beautiful things you have ever seen? I am excluding people from this response... but the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen include: New Zealand's Remarkables Mountain Range at Queenstown, the Grand Canyon by airplane, a volcano by helicopter in Hawaii.
8. What are three things you do not like? People who are mean to store clerks/waiters/waitresses/etc., impatient drivers who yell at other cars, brussel sprouts.
9. 5 things you take with you when you leave the house: cell phone, keys, purse with drivers license and insurance,
10. What's the next important date on your calendar? Ryan's b-day!
11. Are you moody in the morning? Well, I hit my snooze alarm wayyyy too many times, so yes, you could probably say that!
12. When was the last time you were at a baseball game? And how many major league ball parks have you been in? Probably 5-6 years; 2, both in Arlington, TX (the old and new Ranger stadiums)
13. Fireworks: take them or leave them? Take them!!
14. What was your first thought when you woke up this morning? I need to let Max out.
15. Last thing you purchased? Groceries
16. What is irritating you now? Not knowing what the weather will be like tomorrow...
17. What is the last magazine you read? Texas Monthly
18. What is the latest you've stayed up in the past week? 2:30 am
19. Which TV shows have you seen pretty much every episode of? I DVR lots of shows and speed through them... particularly the boring parts of shows like ANTM, Project Runway, The Apprentice (not so much any more), The Bachelor/Bachelorette, and HGTV shows. I also love to watch Extreme Home Makeover and cry every time!
20. Do you feel guilty easily? Of course!
Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day weekend!

Dear God...
I thank You for this day,
I thank You for my being able to see
and to hear this morning.
I'm blessed because You are
a forgiving God and
an understanding God.
You have done so much for me
and You keep on blessing me.
Forgive me this day for everything
I have done, said or thought
that was not pleasing to you.
I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe
from all danger and harm.
Help me to start this day
with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.
Let me make the best of each and every day
to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Let me not whine and whimper
over things I have no control over.
And give me the best response
when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I know that when I can't pray,
You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be
a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak...
Keep me uplifted that I may have
words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those that are lost
and can't find their way.
I pray for those that are misjudged
and misunderstood.
I pray for those who
don't know You intimately.
I pray for those that don't believe.
But I thank You that I believe
that God changes people and
God changes things.
I pray for all my sisters and brothers..
For each and every family member
in their households.
I pray for peace, love and joy
in their homes; that they are out of debt
and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this
knows there is no problem, circumstance,
or situation greater than God.
Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight.
I pray that these words be received
into the hearts of every eye that sees it
in Jesus' name. Amen!

Mother's Day...
One of my favorite days of the year... I got a chance to spend almost all weekend with my precious daughter and her sweet mother-in-law and my friend, Gail. We spent the day eating a delicious lunch, laughing about potato chip crumbs, shopping at some delightful shops in downtown McKinney, dessert at The Pantry (YUMMY!), a little more shopping, and finally, coffee (a must-have treat) at Starbucks, On Sunday, we had fun bowling and then a great dinner at Carrabba's with the McCrady's and family. What an awesome weekend. It could only have been better if Jon had been home to join us... but we'll catch up and do something special when he gets home. (And, he's sort of on his way!) YAY!!!
Have a great week, everyone!
:)

Advice from Dove
As I was enjoying a delicious bite of Dove chocolate this afternoon, I read the "words of wisdom" from the inside of the wrapper... "Kick a bad habit just for today."
Oops, too late! I already ate the chocolate!! :)
(I like this wrapper better!)
