Facebook

Ok! I wouldn't say that I am addicted to facebook. I don't update my status very much, I don't check to see what all my friends are doing, but.......I am slightly addicted to Soduku and Scrabble. I love challenging my friends and playing games. That would also explain why I haven't been blogging.

Well, back to Scrabble.

What a beautiful day!

I haven't blogged in the past week or so, but I just wanted to leave a quick note.

I have been busy with work, but just wanted to leave a comment on what a beautiful day it was. It was sunny and in the 70's. The wind was very strong, but still nice. I was able to wear my most favorite outfit in the whole world.

Jeans and a t-shirt.



What is your favorite outfit?

Yes. I love horses, however I haven't ridden one in ages. I used to own a horse when I was younger and even took riding lessons. Pretty Posh!

Heaven's NO. I seem to have some fear of this and I rush to the gas station when my light comes on. I have been in the car when someone else ran out of gas.

3. How many different schools did you attend growing up?
One. I went to Briarcrest Christian school from K-12

Yes, No. I have one, but we haven't used it in over a year.

I Have.......(copied from Golden Goodness)

I love stealing from Tina. She not only designed my blog, but also helps me with the actual blogging.....with Grillin' Goodness and now this.



1. Started your own blog. (Yes, then Tina improved it)
2. Slept under the stars. (Don't we all)
3. Played in a band. (I was in the drumline throughout high school and college)
4. Visited Hawaii. (Best vacation ever. Also, pre-children)
5. Watched a meteor shower. (I think, but not sure)
6. Given more than you can afford to charity. (We are faithful tither's at our church, but God has always provided so that we have not had to struggle)
7. Been to Disneyland/world. (Yes, when I was a kid and we plan to take our kids in the next few years)
8. Climbed a mountain. (Yes, but it depends on your category of mountainage. It was Sugar Loaf Mountain in Heber Springs, Arkansas. It has Mountain in the name.)
9. Held a praying mantis. (Yes, slow bugs don't bother me)
10. Sang a solo (Yes, I have been singing solo's at church since I was in high school. In fact I have one tonight, 1-21-09, and Sunday, 1-25-09)
11. Bungee jumper. (_________ NO! I don't use profanity, but you can guess the jist of my meaning and want to do so.)
12. Visited Paris. (No. I have never been to another country besides on a cruise).
13. Watching a lightning storm at sea. (Yes. Our first cruise was pretty rocky. Lots of storms.)
14. Taught yourself an art from scratch. (I guess it depends on what you consider art. I taught myself to crochet. I am not good at all, so that didn't stick. I taught myself to cross-stitch. I love to do that. Scrapbooking is a form of art, so I guess Yes!




I will answer more later. Got to go pick up the kids.
