Alert and Oriented (x4)

If you happen to be reading this and you happen to be the type of person who talks with God on a regular, or even a not-so-regular basis, I’d appreciate if you could say a prayer or three for me. There’s pretty much a ton of stuff going on in my life right now and while I am feeling so loved and cared for, I am also overwhelmed.  Kind of like as hard as I pull, nothing is moving the way it's supposed to. Like the mule in the photo up there, I just need to set my feet upon the rock again.... Psalm 40:12 Thanks! Love ya! More than my luggage!

I say that because Lidna over at 2nd Cup has her Random Dozen meme up and thinks shes' at post one million or so, but I couldn't figure out how to write 1,000,000 in Roman numerals, SO.... nth Power it will be.  There is Power in the Dozen!  Post your own, link up over at Lid's and play along! 1. Do you do garage sales? If so, tell me about one great find. If not, tell me why not. I do sale now…and have, but not as frequently as I have in the past. I bought a really pretty brass chandelier at one for $4 about 20 years ago…that chandelier still hangs over my dining table. Ted says he’ll pay me NOT to have them anymore. They are a pain to host, I must agree. Because I work for a poor church, every time I pass one with a vacuum cleaner that works, I buy it. 2. Name the last thing you fixed. Probably a vacuum. (see # 1) 3. Name your A) Favorite item of makeup OR B) Favorite tool A) Mary Kay Highlighting pen. Aka Miracle Worker. 4. Which room in your home need...

We were gone a mere 36 hours...it should've been much longer.... Three of my bestest girlfriends and I just got back from Pagosa Springs. We have, among us 10 children, ranging in age from 19 months to 21 years. School is back in session. Fall is a little crisp snap in the air. We laughed, cried, soaked, relaxed ate...and can't wait to do it again next year! Cost of spa/hotel, split 4 ways: $60 Gas for the Prius $20 Nutella and Ritz $7 Memories for a lifetime? PRICELESS! Cast of Characters: Laura;  the baby of the group.  I've been married longer than she's been alive.  She just finished her advanced degree as an architect and is well on her way to becoming licensed.  Passionate about her baby, her man (who happen to be two of my favorite people), and Jesus.  Literal and artistic.  Dreamy and sassy. Robin:  Take charge.  Owner of her own small business.  Loves her Jesus.  Mom to three.  Unintimidatable.  (I...

Lidna over at 2nd Cup has her Labor Day edition of the Random Dozen posted. Play along and link up, won’t you? 1 Describe the best sandwich in the world, according to you. I make an absolutely amazing grilled cheese . Don’t let the mundane name fool you. It will change your life. You’re welcome. 2. Which inspires you more: a good conversation, a song, a book or movie? Hard question! I think possibly conversation will inspire me to pray, and song will inspire me to worship, a book to write a blog and a movie (depending on the movie) to sleep…I am terrible. Ted says I am like the little baby dolls...once my head tips past a certain angle, my eyes slam shut. I have yet to see The Matrix in one sitting…I always fall asleep about the time the Oracle lights up her cigarette…. 3. What is your favorite board game? I LOVE games! Catchphrase, Apples to Apples, Phase 10...although none of them require “boards,” I think this is what Lidna meant. I also like cribbage, just bought Fa...
