10 Things you might not know…

Tonight I caught up on some much needed blog reading… trying to get out of this funk I’ve been in… and came across Beth Moore’s Living Proof Ministries blog. I forgot how much I need the encouragement from Beth, Amanda & Melissa on a daily – or at least one or two times a week – basis… it just makes things right.


It makes me smile. It makes me feel better. And I think I need to find more blogs that can continue to encourage me.



So anyway – earlier this week, Beth chronicled 10 things that you might not know about herself. And now I’m feeling the blogging spirit awaken within me… so here is my 10. :) Enjoy!


1. I earned my certificate in Travel Planning in 2000. I’ve never used it but want to. Career change?

2. I don’t have a favorite color. It changes daily – and sometimes more than once a day. God created lots of pretty colors. I like most of them.

3. I hate (no… make that H.A.T.E.) vacuuming. I don’t know why.

4. I’ve always wanted a nickname that doesn’t relate back to my actual name.

5. I carry a book with me {almost} everywhere I go. I like to read on my lunch hour… while waiting for a train… anywhere.

6. Four things that make me feel like a special girl… a phone call from a friend just to chat, flowers, getting/giving a hug and a manicure.

7. I’ve never read the entire Bible. It’s still very high on my “want to do” list.

8. When I was growing up, my family discussed 4 sports around the dinner table often. We called them the four “B’s”. Conversations still revolve around Baseball, Basketball, Bicycling and Bowling.

9. I got my nose pierced a couple of years ago. I feel like I am judged for being a “rebel” now… instead of being overweight.

10. I feel so much better when I end the day and the dishes are done. I think I get this from my mom.


What are some things that people don’t know about you?




Thoughts on a Thursday…

I am finally feeling better.

Being sick sucks. Lots. I went through a whole box of Kleenex (or more) and it’s still not completely gone. But I am back at life. Just not back in the blog world yet. My apologies.

Be sure to come back on Monday though… I will be announcing my first giveaway!! :)

 

Here are some of my thoughts about my life — and where I am at in all of it…….

I am angry. And I don’t know why.

I know I need a change.  A desperate change… in more than one area of my life.

I just wish I knew how this change will come about… or how I can make more happen of it.

I need to stop feeling like I want to punch a hole in a wall… which I learned from a classmate in 7th grade when he stuck his hand through a cupboard door – this could be both painful and expensive.

I know I can do anything… but why do I feel like I am accomplishing nothing.

I want to be open to God’s leading, but right now I just feel like everything is so far away in my faith. I am trying to read the Bible more, I am trying to get back into my studies…

I want to get back to my weight watcher’s goal weight, but don’t want to give up what I have become accustomed to in the past few weeks. I need to start counting points again… and getting back to those good healthy guidelines.

It’s been a year since I’ve been on a date. Yeah. Let’s just not go there.

I really don’t want to leave you on such a sour note… but that’s where I’m at.

Hopefully this weekend I will re-gain some much needed ground in the world of my thoughts.

And I’ll get to watch some good high school basketball. Spend time with family. Spend time with friends.

So to the world of blogging… and twitter… I am sorry for the break, but it is much needed for my sanity. {i think}

Out sick…

I know that I haven’t written anything new all weekend. I have a pretty good excuse… or at least I think it’s pretty good. I’m not feeling so hot. :(

It’s been a weekend filled with March Madness (at it’s best I might add) basketball, a 5k run (more to come on that), and me laying around in bed – on the couch – and trying to figure out how to get better without wanting to go anywhere.

So I’m hoping to be back for Post It Note Tuesday tomorrow. Until then…

bring on the tissues.

Friday Follow: My first edition…

I’ve seen this friday follow thing on a few blogs I visit – but haven’t been able to participate very well {because it can take up A LOT of time if you are reading any number of the blogs} due to my work schedule. And today, while I am starting late, is much better because I am home watching basketball… trying to give my blog a makeover… and well, trying not to get sick. {But that’s a whole other blog post!}

Friday Follow


<Bea's Gift Baskets


So here I am trying to find some new bloggy friends to follow — trying to be inspired and to learn new things. :) Hopefully I can do all of that today… and maybe even get a nap in!
