1. I'd really like to win the lottery right now.

2. YOUCH is the word you'd most often hear me say if I stubbed my toe.

3. Possession is 9/10 of the law.

4. I love Captain Jack Sparrow.

5. Marshmallows and fire go together like tasty and burnt.
6. Winter goes on and on.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having Troubles to cuddle with, tomorrow my plans include dog sitting and Sunday, I want to go to church!

Thursday, Thursday...........

Well, here it is......Thursday and I am still in a funk. I just have so many things on my mind.
The state of the world, the economy, the government....it all has me down. I need to keep reminding myself that GOD is in ultimate control. Also, things have been rough at home with stuff, I hate to blame it all on Ian's autism, but it sure puts a strain on the family. I am messed up with some woman issues and I have had a headache for about 4 days now. Man, I am a mess.
Prayers appreciated. Thank you!
GOD is GOOD ALL THE TIME.

Monday, Monday............

Sigh..............
I'm having one of those days......you know, the kind of day where you have so much going on in your heart and mind that there just aren't words for it.
I feel like I should share it, but just don't have the energy to try to sort it all out.
Does that make sense to any one? I hope I'm not just totally weird.
My Love You Much Valentine Workshop on Saturday went really well!!!! It was a hoot!
Thank you to everyone that registered and came which was NINE of you!!! It was a bit crowded and a bit hectic but I hope everyone had fun.
I should post pics of the projects we did.......later.
Right now I am going to watch Bonnie Hunt. She makes me laugh so hard.

This is a dark day in America

Psalm 127:3
"Behold, children are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward."

Give Me A Chance

Hey, Little Boy, what would you like to be someday?
Maybe an astronaut who zooms around in space?
No, I will be the one who finds a cure for cancer.
I will not rest until I've finally found the answer.
All I need is just a chance to live.

Hey, Little Girl, where in the world are you going?
It's hard to tell with one so small, no way of knowing.
I'm headed on an airplane for the Middle East.
I'll be the one to forge a treaty bringing peace.
All I need is just some time to grow.
Just give me a chance.

Hey, Mr. Politician, can you hear their voices?
Your deafness feigned to gain the vote of those with choices.
When I am home alone and shut off all the noise,
I hear the pleading of those little girls and boys.
All I need is just a chance to live.
All I need is just some time to grow.
Just give me a chance.

Getting excited..............

Yes, I am getting pumped up about my upcoming stampin' event here at my house!!!!
I went to Muskegon yesterday to get some supplies for the projects. I am planning some killer
cool projects. You won't want to miss it!
I am sending out invitations with more info tomorrow so you should have yours on Monday! In the meantime keep Saturday, January 24 from 11:00 til 1:00 or 2:00 p.m. (depends on how fast you work!)
This is my first BIG stamping event in a long time so I am so excited!!! It's gonna be AWESOME!!!
OH, and I want you to know that the group that attends this event will be the FIRST to get their hands on a brand NEW Spring/Summer catalog and idea book!!!!!

My mom...........

Wow, what a few days we have had!!
My mom was feeling unwell most of last week and finally admitted she needed to go to the ER on Saturday night. She is still in hospital! She ended up having her gall bladder removed on Monday. The surgeon wasn't able to do it through a laproscope so she has a huge incision across her belly. The doc said it was the worst gall bladder he has seen in his career and he has been a surgeon for many years. Mom has been our main focus (me and my 3 sisters) and so not much else has gotten done. Today I had to stay home and catch up my checkbook and pay bills. I also got some exercise in today.
I just want to give God all the glory for my Mom doing so well. Her heart and lungs are fine. She is walking the halls. Her pain is probably a bit worse today, but overall she is doing really well.
I am planning a special Stampin' Up! event and so am working on that today too. The house is a mess but I just don't see me getting much accomplished in that arena today. :(
Well, just wanted to post so you would know I am still here.
