Happy Nevada Day!

What???  It’s Halloween, what in the heck is Nevada Day???  For those that have never lived in this state, Nevada Day is a state holiday celebrating the date we became a state on October 31, 1864. 
When I was in school, I thought it was cool that we had Halloween off.  Yeah, I know, I’m a [...]

What does “Slow Fade” mean to you?

I have an internal music system.  I woke up to this song, playing in my head, Slow Fade by Casting Crowns.  I love waking up with a song playing in my mind.  It’s usually a worship song, but then it can be a V8 slap song like this one.  What am I [...]

Ho Hum

Our monthly date with the doc went about like I thought it would.  Hubby’s doing well and he’s lost a pound, to which he sucks right now!  However, I really am glad he is doing better.  My blood sugar numbers are still out of control which sucks right now.  I’ve been avoiding going to church, [...]

Writing Challenge

I have heard about this site from a fellow blogger.  I am one of those people who says, “Someday I’ll write a book.”   I seem to say someday, quite often. 
Once I found this site and wandered around, I got excited about writing again.  So, I signed up for the 30 day challenge to write 50,000 or [...]

Comfort Foods

When the weather turns cold, why do we want food that we shouldn’t eat?  Last weekend I made biscuits with sasauge gravy.  The gravy was by scratch, however, the biscuits were frozen pillsbury biscuits – which turn out just like my late mother-in-law’s biscuits.  Quite yummy.  I also made a pot of chili, which became my [...]

Insomnia has returned

Here I sit at 4:40am.  I’ve been up for 2+ hours now and i am thankful it is a weekend and do not have to work in the morning.  So, instead, I’ve paid bills and now I’m broke … LOL … ain’t that the way!  Oh well, such is life.
I’ve watched the Flower Power infomercial.  [...]

Even my cat knows what “DQ” is.

I feel like a blob.  After quite a large dinner, I wanted DQ.  Unfortunately, it isn’t far from our house.  While I was talking about going to DQ, our cat quickly wanders over to me and starts lovin’ on me, as if saying, “Mom, I like DQ, bring me something also.”
So off hubby and I [...]

Be careful little mouths, what you say.

We were at the grocery store yesterday.  I was my usual tired and getting flustered because hubby was talking in his soft voice.  A tone which my ears cannot detect.  I had asked him if we had any black pepper at home.  After 3 times of not hearing his answer, I asked again, thoroughly frustrated.  [...]

Where are my gifts?

I’m going through a serving hiatus at church.  This weekend’s teaching was on our gifts we were given.  Around the auditorium were 14 tables with the different ministries at our church.  Seventy-five serving opportunities available.  I walked by each one and out the door.  I keep wondering why I did that and why I had [...]

Fireproof your Marriage

We drove to Reno to see “Fireproof”.  I definately recommend this movie for all - married, single, separated, on the verge of splitting.  It is really good.  It’s a 2 hour movie and hubby didn’t want to leave for a potty break until it was over.  Although he did rush out when it was over.  LOL [...]
