About That Time ;)

Well, it's about time...I need to post. :)

As I type, Facing the Giants is playing in the background. I have been almost a month without cable...any sort of TV except for movies. I don't miss it as much as I thought I would, but I was all excited for Dateline the other night, yes dateline...only to realize I couldn't watch it. BOO. I was at my parents and thought, oh I'll head home so I can watch it, it sounds interesting...and it's been a long time since I sat down to watch Dateline. Then...as I was watering the horses (filling their stocktank, not watering them so they would grow like a plant..haha, I crack myself up)I was like..ah, I CAN'T watch dateline. I don't have TV. I have those converter boxes, but no antenna. So I either need to get an antenna, or do something. I miss the noise mainly, but some of the food network shows. And, as much of a nerd as I am, I miss the 24 hour news channel. :)

Dinner was good tonight, I made frozen pizza. YUM. It was the wal-mart brand,like Digornio. I actually thought it was better than digornio. YUM-O

Momma has been outa town visiting her friend in pocatello. They are professional thrift store shoppers. Even went out of state to go thrift store shopping. I hope she is having fun...but i am ready for her to come home. I miss my momma.

Well, tis all to report. Nightie night.

Tuesday Days

today i procrastinated in getting ready for work...again. then i got to work and my co worker brought me white chocolate mocha from starbucks, outa the blue. that was nice. :) I was excited...drank that thing in about five minutes.

Had choir practice tonight,then evening service,and now i sit at home just relaxing and reflecting.

Life is so full of choices, I want to make the right ones. So many things I would do different with my life. Chill out and realize in the grand scheme of things, I shouldn't sweat small stuff. laugh more, worry less. Be happy. ya know.

I can hardly believe fall is almost here. Christmas is only four months away. Time so flies. I guess that is all for tonight. I know, not to much that is interesting to read. But, have a great night :)

Alone

Is anyone out there anymore. Not many comments lately. I am trying to be better about commenting myself. I guess maybe my posts just aren't to thrilling.

I have been thinking alot about my husband lately. I obviously think about him, but even more so lately. I really miss him. He was so great to me. I know he is in heaven...and I know..I have said it all before, and I have said that I have said it all before...but I really miss him. I guess it's selfish, but I wish he was still here with me. I miss my nephews, my family in TN, the memories of our young married life...all the good times, the bad, the in between. I just miss life with him.

Mom and I are heading to my grandmas tomorrow. Albion, Idaho. Population 100 something. Its a reallllly small town. REALLY small. But, there is a ski resort up there...ha.

I am getting my hair cut tomorrow. Nothing extreme really, just about two inches off the bottom to make the layers closer.

Guess that is all. night.

Time

Time is such a funny thing. I remember a great piece of advice I got after Damon's passing. It came from one of the most encouraging, rock solid, dependable, Christian men that I know of, Brother Steve Fox. He told me that time never makes the pain go away, it just makes it less frequent. So right now, I sit here, missing my husband. And I know that this is normal, and I will always always love and miss him. On one hand it seems like just yesterday that he went home, but it also seems like ages since he was here. Damon was one of the few people in this world that "got" me. He loved me for me, and cherished me. It's amazing to know the feeling of being cherished. I miss him so very much. I love him still.

Prayer

I have a special unspoken prayer request. So for all you prayers out there :), if you could pray for me and this request (God knows) I would appreciate it greatly! love ya!

Boo

I guess...my love of blogging, or rather, my enjoyment of it- has grown cold. I am the bad blogger of the month it seems. Lots of things are going on. Just doesn't seem as though there is enough time to type it all out.

I cut my finger down to the tendon, but I didn't actually cut the tendon, thank the Lord. Having seven stitches in your index finger on your dominant hand, slows a body down a bit. I just got the stiches out Wednesday, and I am going to have a pretty gnarly scar on that hand. About an inch long smiley shape, just the smile part. I am back to typing, and have I would say about 95% movement again. Thank the Lord again. The doc wanted me to go the orthopedic doctor, but no insurance means that isn't an option for this chic. Anyway, I work with a nurse and she said if I can bend and move it, I should be good, and that the feeling I lost (apparently I cut a nerve cus part of my finger is numb) will most likely come back but could take up to two years.

The Lewiston trip was really fun. I need to post pics I know. The sole purpose of the trip was to encourage a smaller church of ours and I believe that the Lord helped us accomplish that. I took my band, the teenagers, and they definitely add spice to any occasion. haha. We had the worst ever moxie frappe's, such a waste of good coffee potential. Oh well, I shouldn't complain. Then we had a safe and uneventful five hour drive of 20 questions, fuzzy radio stations, and slow drivers in blue cars. We stopped for lunch next to a pretty lake, and then finished up our drive. We got settled in and went for ice cream, since Lewiston was 111 degrees that weekend. Yes, 111 DEGREES. Seriously hot. After that we rented the movie Australia. That is one LOOOOOOOOOOONG movie. The parts I saw were mostly good, I can't vouch for the whole thing since I fell asleep. Definitely a few things that weren't necessary, but it seems Hollywood must put something in each film. Then we went to take turns for the shower. One bathroom being shared by 11 people. You know, it's those times you remember, when you are out of your comfort zone...when you really bond with people, they are the special times. So I didn't mind the sharing! Next day we woke up to pancakes, fruit, and home made banana bread. YUM-O Then went to the Church Service. It was amazing. The Spirit of the Lord was there and I am so thankful. Afterwards they had a bbq for us, aww, so sweet. Then part of the crew drove home. New Meadows is seriously a beautiful area of Idaho. Happy Sigh. GREAT weekend.

Work has been busy, and I am thankful for my job. I got my yard mowed today, and some laundry done. Dad made homemade chille rellenos, or however you spell that, then homemade chili. It was all yummy. Now I am going to go read. Have a great night!
