Fill in the blanks Friday..A few days late.

1. The first thing I do in the morning to start my day is.....go to the potty.

2. Today I wish I was........sleeping in(well, sleeping in tomorrow).

3. If I had an extra $1000 in my bank account today.....I would buy the SLR digital camera I have my eye on.

4. Tomorrow ......I have to work, but really only a half day.

5. Two things that don't go together are.....me and pickles...I hate them!

6. Something I can never pass up at the grocery store is.......a cold 20 oz diet mountain dew.:)

7. The last time I tried something new was.....last Thursday when I started my new job.

Some Pictures From The Weekend.....

These are in no particular order and I have a lot more to share. My blog is being difficult so I will be back soon with more pictures and my post on how I managed to fall twice in one day. :)

Could this day go by ANY slower?

I don't think my views will quite be like this over the weekend, but I am sure they will be beautiful anyway. I can't wait to get out of this office. The weather is perfect. I am all packed, I just have to fill up the gas tank and pick up a few food items and then I will be on my way.

I am just going off call as the Supervisor this week so my sleep pattern has been all messed up. I am looking forward to some rest and relaxation with 15 other lovely ladies.

One of my oldest and dearest friends will be on this trip with me. Be ready for lots of pictures the next time I post!

Happy Weekend, Peeps!

Sorry to leave ya hanging.....

So, as you can see in the picture above I broke down and bought socks.

I realized that I had also forgotten my deodorant, tooth brush and toothpaste. (Good Grief).

Luckily, the convenient store next door to the hotel had all my needs including the 3 pair of socks above, and I only paid $2 for them! STEAL! :)

This week won't be quite so hectic, thank goodness. I am only working thru Thursday and then I am off to a cabin in the woods until Sunday with a great group of ladies for some relaxing, reading, hot tubing, sight seeing, and scrap booking. I am totally excited!

How is your week shaping up?

Oh My Goodness.

I am about to have to do something that I haven't had to do in probably 15 years or more.

I really don't know how I am going to make it, but I am sitting in a hotel in a town that I don't know anything about. I am mentally and physically exhausted and don't have the energy to go back out tonight.

By the way, I am in a hotel because of an event for work that I have to be present at 730 am for. It's was more logical that I have a hotel room for the night than try to get up before the chickens and drive this far. So here I am.

I really, really, really don't know how I am going to sleep without my socks on.......

I forgot!

I forgot to mention in my last blog that I was a winner in my girl, Heather's give away recently!

I won a $60 giftcard to csn.com! I am totally stoked and am having a hard time deciding what I want to purchase! Oh, the agony! :)

I had an AMAZING time at church yesterday and am still experiencing the "high" today. I hope everyone has had a wonderful start to their week!

One of My Loves.

(please excuse the poor quality..they were taken with my cell phone)

I have mentioned before that I have five God Children. The pictures above is one of my loves.... my oldest God Daughter, Sarah Ashton. I love her to pieces!! I got to spend some time with her last night and today( and I will get to see her tomorrow at church too). She is 12 years old and is wise beyond her years. I don't think I could be any prouder of her and her older brother( who is my oldest God Son and is 14).

This weekend has not been bad thus far. Last night I had dinner with a friend from church. Her name is Donna and we tell people that we are sisters. Most people that don't already know us, believe it because we look alike. She has three teenage children who call me "Aunt Kathi"....I love it! We ate at a local Mexican Joint called Anita's...It was YUMMY! After we parted ways, I stopped at a store called "Eye Candy" that sells costume jewelry. I got four necklaces and three pair of earrings for $12.19! As we say in the south, You can't beat that with a stick! :)

After that, I visited with the God Children mentioned above and their parents

and then headed home.

Today, I had to attend a patient of ours' funeral. It was bittersweet, he was truly a wonderful man who loved God and his family. I have been friends with some of his Grandchildren all my life and am continuing to pray for them in the days ahead. He and his wife had been married 64 years. I can't hardly fathom that. That is TRUE love that only comes from God.

After the funeral, I went to a benefit for a local child that has a rare heart disease. Our praise band at Church is also a Christian Rock Band and they were playing for it, so I sat out in the sun and enjoyed the music and the great weather. After they were done playing their set, I left and went to the local Children's Home and hung out at their rec center with some cool kiddos and my cousin who manages the rec center on the weekends.

Now, I am home and chilling. Church is in the morning! It's youth Sunday, so I don't have to be there early to practice for worship service...this means I get to sleep in a few extra minutes(thank you, youth!). Whoop! How is YOUR weekend?

PS: One of my favorite movies is coming on right now, Miss Congeniality. Score!
