Today is just one of those days

  when you don't want to do anything, but at home.  I ask Michael last night if we could just stay home this morning instead of getting out.  So few Saturday mornings we stay home, because we normally get out to go to yard sales or such in the summer time.  But all week I have been thinking about staying home and getting caught up on getting some computer stuff done and just relaxing.  Actually going to read some more of my book in a little bit.

I have added a whole batch of new links to Home Simple Home, for weeks now I have been finding some new places that I just love.  Several are very inspirational for home decorating and I can just sit  and gaze at the pictures for what seems like hours. Kinda like I do my country magazines. Which I need to go through and dispose of some, and organize the others.  That has been on my to do list for awhile.  I might actually do it tonight while watching tv. 

While I sitting here this morning and cruising the net I found many things that I would love to do....but when I saw this I new I needed to do these things first, so that I will not forget what it is I would like to do.    First, I think I need to create myself a mood board.  Do you know what a mood board is?  It is a board that you simple put all your loves on.  There are several at Decor 8. As well as create myself a decorating binder.  See this is the kind of things I do when I have time.  I get creative and want to do things.  Guess I could carry this binder a little further and make it my "dream home binder".  How fun is that? 

Let's see what else is going on with me.  My eyes are doing great. I can't tell you the difference the enhancement done for me.  I highly recommend it if you aren't completely happy with your Lasik procedure.  Don't get me wrong I am so glad that I had the procedure done, but apparently my right eye was only doing about 70% of what it was suppose to be doing.  Even at that, that was much better than what I had seen my whole life.  So wasn't complaining, but still wanted to try for better.  So like I said...I am very happy with the outcome.

Last night Michael and I met up with some friends and went to play basket bingo.  And I didn't win a thing.  Actually no one at our table did.  Boo Hoo...but it was for a good cause so hopefully all the money I spent wasn't for waste. I wanted to give you a idea of what a basket bingo is like.  You usually pay to play 20 games with 20 baskets filled (like these in the picture) and if you win the game you get the basket.  They normally have special games where you have to buy extra cards to play which brings in lots more money.  The room is usually packed.... below kinda gives you a idea of how the game rooms are set up and how serious the women are that play.   Now these aren't from any bingo's I have actually gone too, but they are the same.  Basket bingo is taken seriously here.  Usually these are played as a type of fundraiser for a family in need, a school program that needs sponsored, etc.  It brings in lots of money at one time. Now you know the rest of the story.

Well, I have been working on this post for a while, but my phone keeps ringing so will close.  Hope you all have a great rest of the day.

Hugs!

Real quick post - Meet my Doctor

Just wanted to let you know that I had my eye surgery yesterday. Seems like all I have done since then is sleep.  I am off for my follow up this morning so have to make a mad dash to the shower and get this hair washed.  That is always a pleasure when you can't get you eye wet. NOT!   With the enhancement, the procedure is a bit different than the original process, they inserted a soft contact to lessen infection but I can honestly say I don't feel it.  I wouldn't have known unless Dr. Goel told me.  He is simply awesome.  Anyway they will be taking it out this morning.   Wish me luck. 

My car troubles are ongoing.  I have a rental car, its a little grey dodge avenger.  Not sure what is exactly wrong with my car, but guess when the mechanic gets done with it today I will have a better idea of what it is going to cost me to get it back on the road.

Well guess, my eyes are getting blurry so going to take that as  my que to get off here.  I will catch ya up later if there is anything to report.  Have a great and blessed Thursday.

Hugs!

What a day/morning

this has been already. It all started this morning when Michael brought me into work because today I am having my eye procedure again.(Please say a prayer) So he has to drive me home. Anyway, after dropping me off, he was hearing knocking noise in the car so he ended up sitting on the side of a busy roadway awaiting AAA to pick him up. Yeppers, so he is taking care of car troubles this morning and then picking me up around lunch for my appt. Is this a sign? He finally got the car over to a rental car establishment and got a rental car for me to drive the rest of the week, but we are going to have to come down and pick up the car and tow it to closer to home, and have a mechanic check it out. I pray it isn't anything major just a gasket or something. (Could you add that to your prayer list too?)

Makes me wish I could just be at home and take a hot shower/bath and cozy up and read. Speaking of bathing/showering, I found a product a few months back that I absolutely love. Have you tried this? Johnson and Johnson, Melt away Stress. If you haven't, try it. Smells wonderful and it is so smooth going on. I got it as a trial in something, and loved it so much that I use it daily.

Off to church I go

in just a few minutes, I wanted to drop a little note to say hi and wish you all a blessed Sunday. 

Today is full of errands after church.  Got to make a stop at Wally's world to exchange some things and then on to Kohl's for some shopping.  I need some shorts in the most desperate way.  Just when I was praising myself on losing 5 lbs, I think I have gain every bit of it back and then some.  Enough to get a girl down.  After that stop we need to drop some things off at Michael's office, then to pick up a car for Tori to look at, all this before we have to pick her up at the school from cheer camp at 3:00.  Afterwards, head home to help her get ready to go to her dads, as she is moving to his house for the summer because of her new job.  She got a new job in a salon there this summer and since gas is what it is, it is much closer for her to drive from there.  So I will not be see her everyday.  That is going to be too weird.

Anyhow, I will try to get by soon to visit.  Have a great day.

Hugs!

Happy Saturday!

I am getting there...don't you just love how summery this set is.  I just love Pam's graphics.  I have wanted to use this for a long time, and have others that I want to check out.

This is going to be a short post for now, as Michael and I are heading out this morning.  Have to take Tori to cheer camp.  She is a instructor again this year.  The camp is today and tomorrow. 

The weather here this morning is cool but nice but rains are suppose to come in later today...so want to get a few things done before it gets here.

Have a super Saturday.

Hugs!

Just a quick post

I finally got my blog moved over to the new address.  I hope you will stop back by over the next few days because I will change the look.  Hopefully will have the time to do that sometime this weekend, as we are suppose to get some rain so most likely will be housebound for a bit.

Please remember if you need to contact me, you can contact me via my new email address

cindybazzy@gmail.com

Hope you have a great evening.

P.S. Pam I got your email will try to respond soon.

A Bowlful of Cherries, or the pits

Hi everybody. Since I have a little time thought I would stop and do a little post. This morning the temps are so much cooler and more pleasant outside than it has been in the past week. We were in the high 90's most of the week, and today it is only suppose to be around 75 or so. We got a cold front come in last night with the rain storm we got. Cooled things greatly. Today it looks like rain, it is overcast and dreary...but occassionally I like days like that.Perfect day for sitting home, curled up watching some old movies or reading and taking catnaps. Alas, it is a work day so that isn't going to happen.

So much has been going on in my head and in real life that I don't know where to start.
Yesterday I had to go back to the eye doctor to have my eyes checked. It has been five months since I have had my lasik surgery and although my eyes did well, my right eye didn't do as well as it could have. Apparently it is seeing about 70% of the way it should, so they have scheduled me for a enhancement on that eye next monday. I knew upfront this was a possibility, but had to wait until my eyes were completely stable before they could go in and do another procedure. Basically I will be having the same procedure as the first time but they will be making a slight change. Please pray that it will go well and that when it is over, the procedure will have been successful. Thanks!

I mentioned in a earlier post that I am moving my blog to a new web address soon, actually will most likely be this weekend. For the same reason I am wanting to move it, I am thinking I will do away with my website, Cindy's Cozy Corner. It sits on a domain that was my former name and quite honestly don't want to keep using it. As well as my email addresses. Most likely will be changing that too. Although I loved having my website, I have neglected it alot in recent months, even years. I don't have the time to devote to it. Plus I pay for that service. The only sad thing is I have tons of wonderful graphics that I would love to use...but don't have the time. So do I or don't I?

I have added another little goal for myself...I am trying to lose some weight. When I went to the doctor a few weeks back that was the final straw. I tipped the scales weighing more than I have ever weighed without being pregnant. I know that it comes from eating out, and unhealthy eating habits...so decided I want to shed a few pounds so that I feel better about myself. Starting to dislike how I feel in my clothes. Since starting this I have lost about five pounds. I am packing my lunch and bringing that to work, drinking lots of water, and eating lots and lots of fruit and veggies. I try to have a sensible dinner and watching my serving sizes. Basically I am trying to make better choices. Now I need to add exercising, but having done so yet. I am sure that will come with time. One step at a time for me.

Is is me or what, this past weekend, actually maybe this last week, I have felt kind of out of sorts. I have felt really disconnected. I can't put my fingers on it exactly. I know that my routine at work has been different so not sure if that is what is throwing me off or what. But I hate this feeling. Seems like I was at such peace for awhile and now everything is in a chaotic state. It really isn't, just feels that way. I have to remind myself that feelings are just that. They aren't what is really happening. But why? I think for me it is spirital related. I have been saturating myself in reading my bible and other biblical readings and asking God to continue to work in me and help me grow, and I am thinking that these are 'growing pains'. Which if they are, I failed a test miserably last night with my daughter. I so desire to be the woman God created me to be. I do want to be the wife, mother and friend that I know he would want me to be....but have been feeling that I haven't really been doing those jobs that well either. I keep
wondering what God is trying to show/tell me. Sometimes I have to have neon sign that tells me. Please pray for me.

Should really scoot, want to try to make a post or two at my homemaking site and cooking site.

A place I found a while back and visited again the other day I am going to make as my featured site: Warm Pie Happy Home, RuthAnn has a wonderful way of telling a story. A california girl who moved to the Ozarks. Great read!

Hugs and Blessings,
Me
