I don’t have a clue

where the time goes.  I can’t believe how long it has been since I have been here to  post.  Days just get away from me.  I feel bad when I don’t post, but sometimes  I fear no one wants to hear the same old stuff.  My life is quite ordinary and not alot to write about.  But lately my days have been super duper busy and with the our weather  being so gorgeous I am trying to spend more time in the yard. This is outside my family room door and really is one of our favorite little hangouts.  My yard is so green right now and all the Bradford pear trees are in full bloom.  Love them!!!  My lilacs are starting to bloom as well, and when they do, as soon as you open the door and get outside, you get the best aroma in the world.  I feel like it is really spring then.  Although the past several days we have been experiencing some exceptionally gorgeous weather with temps in the 80’s and 90…yeah, 90 yesterday.  I actually laid outside in my lawn chair.  Woo Hoo!  Today the temps are going to be around the mid 80 with rain in the forecast for tonight.  Cooler temps of the mid 60’s tomorrow and the weekend.  So going to enjoy this while it last.

This week has been a week of getting some more things done around this house.  We are suppose to have a couple come by and look at the house sometime this week.  Haven’t gotten a time yet…so I have been trying to keep up on things so it is “show ready” when they get here. 

This weekend, hubby and I will be working some more around here, mainly in the yard and our garage, still have some decluttering to do and more things moved to our storage unit.  Selling a house is hard work…..I would much rather be doing something else.

Things are coming together nicely for my sons wedding.  Which is going to be here before I know it.  I think the only think I have left to buy is my shoes.  Was hoping to get out this weekend to do that too…but that might not happen. 

I know this isn’t much of a post, but just wanted to let you know what I have been up too.  Got some great pictures of the George Strait concert I went to over the weekend…will have to get those off my camera and share them with you.  Awesome time was had by all.

Have a blessed day!!!!

Finally

I'm back. I can't believe its been almost a week since my last post, but it has. I have wanted to jump on here and post but just haven't had enough time to do so. This is going to be a boring post to look at, because I am using my son's laptop and I don't have graphics downloaded to his computer. So I just might have to come back at a later time and add some in. :)

Well my weekend didn't go quite as I had planned...if you read in my last post you know that I was going to Baltimore to the George Strait concert...we it was postponed until April. Can you say bummed? Apparently George had to cancel his Thursday, Friday, Saturday night concert due to larengitis. Just my luck, I guess I shouldn't have been looking so forward to it. Oh well, we get to go in April when he has been rescheduled. It wasn't a totally wash though, because we still went down and spent the night, we had a lovely hotel room, although we weren't there much. We strolled the streets of the city and then had a lovely dinner at a seafood place called Mo's Seafood in the Inner Harbor. It was cold, but it was such a clear night. We had such a good time with our friends and just hanging out. Darting in here and there and grabbing coffee, to keep warm. We headed back to the hotel around 10ish and I was pretty beat. I was asleep before my head hit the pillow. And then the strangest thing happened, I slept till 6:30 or so.....I know that doesn't seem like anything exciting to anyone, but for me, the girl that gets up at 4, it's a big deal. Because on the days I don't work, I still wake up. So that was a sweet treat. Actually was up for just a little bit and then dozed off again, and didn't get up for good until 8:30 or so. Michael and I didn't leave the hotel until around 10:30. That is very unusual for us.

On Sunday we headed to the big Barnes and Noble store in the Inner Harbor and I spent 2 hours browsing books. I actually got three things. I will share more about them in another post.

This is a busy week for me, between work and Tori's activites I am hopping. She has Drivers Ed every night for two weeks. She has to be there at 6:30 until 9:45. So it makes a long day for both of us. Anyway, I wanted to post a little blurb, but I am heading out the door in a few, and really need to go and do my hair. I grabbed a shower when I got home from work so that my hair would dry before I had to go out.

Again, I know this isn't much of a post, but wanted to let you all know that I am still around. Just buisy. Hope your having a lovely night.

God Bless!

Weekend Plans

Bringing blessings to other is in essence a habit, a daily way of life. - Thomas Kinkade


The end of the week is almost upon us again. Sometimes I don't know where the time goes. Even though this has been a short work week for me, it feels longer than most for some odd reason. I know that seems like a contradiction since I just stated that the time is flying by....but it is what it is. I am eagerly awaiting this weekend though. Our friends and Michael and I are going to see George Strait on Saturday night, he is coming to Baltimore and we got tickets. Actually I bought tickets the day they went on sale. I have seen him in concert two other times and he is simply awesome. One of my all time favorites. I must have all his music to date. (Well what do you expect from a country girl that grew up right outside of Nashville?)

Saturday morning we will leave early to head down to Baltimore to just explore, go where ever the road leads. We decided to make a nice weekend out of it, we got a hotel room and are going to stay in the city that evening. There is this terrific seafood place we enjoying eating at when we are at Inner Harbor, so we will have seafood before we head to the concert. Should be good. I imagine Sunday I will stop in at the Barnes and Noble (it's huge) and try to spend my gift card from Christmas, as well as catch brunch at The Cheesecake Factory. Another favorite of ours.

Last night I spent a little time working on my (new) home site. It will take me a bit of time to get it ready, but will work on it as time allows. I am very excited about creating these two additional sites, as my home and cooking are passions of mine. I have felt for a while God prompting me to share with others more openly in these areas. I've prayed about these sites, because I truly would want them to bless other women with the same likes and passions. But I feared not having the time to do it or doing it well. But I have felt that instead of feeling like a burden, God has given me such joy. As of late my home has been more of a passion than cooking, (mainly because of time allowances) but I love both. I have always appreciated good cooks and sharing recipes and cookbooks, and stories involving the kitchen . Families passing down recipes and traditions that are made around food. The wonderful memories of my youth that are centered around my grandmothers kitchen table.

The above blurb was to say that we all go through season's in our lives, and guess this is my season and believe me I am enjoying it. In the book "Hand Over the Chocolate and No One Gets Hurt" , Karen shares " there is something satisfying, rejuvenating, comforting about the seasons of the year. Seasons remind me that there is a time and a season for everything, and that "this too shall pass".They remind me that there is a pulse, a sequence, a journey set into motion by the hand of God himself. The seasons remind me daily of God's timing, of nature, of the ebb and flow of life."

I plan to enjoy this season of my life, and whichever season your in at the moment, I hope you are enjoying it to the fullest. Until next time,

God Bless!
