You might be surprised to hear that I sometimes have problems with being spontaneous – shocking, I am sure!!! LOL!! (YES, Sweetie, that was a joke!) 😉 Well, I took a large leap of “Look at me, I can be spontaneous”, and took an impromptu …
Fabulousness, where have you gone??? I have had a rough, tough, knocked-around kind of day, and I am sure that some of my girls out there may have had a day like mine. So, to keep tonight’s post short and sweet I simply say, Fabulessness, …
I am seriously thinking about putting my house on a diet. We have a really small place, and seemingly a whole TON of stuff. OK, I know this seems like a REALLY random thought, but let me tell you what brought this on. I have a friend who is a financial adviser for, let’s just say, for people who have WAAAAAY more money than I have. Anyway, he sent me a whole bunch of information today on how I can make my financial dreams come true, and HOLY MOLY!! I realized I have a lot of work to do, the first HUGE thing I need to do is to get myself COMPLETELY out of debt, AGAIN (I have done this once before believe it or not!) Once that is done, I have to figure out how to figure out how to live with only 50% of my income!!! AAAAGH!!! Can you imagine??? So I either have to learn how to live with a whole lot less, or I have to learn how to make more money!! Which brings me back to putting my house on a diet. While I am trying to decide what small business I can start in my free time, I thought I would try selling some of my literally hundreds of unused items from our house. Kind of like an online garage sale!! I am not sure how to make this happen though – so I thought I would just throw it out to the universe and see if maybe anyone out there had any ideas??? Let me know in the comment section – I would be greatly appreciative for the help!!! 🙂
Thanks, and have a FABULOUS evening! 😉
I just got done swimming with family!!! I LOVE doing that, especially since playing with the kids is THE BEST DISGUISE for exercising!!! WHEW!! These kiddos REALLY WORK ME OUT!!!! Man, I am soooo sore, but so HAPPY!!! Anyway, I heard a Bible verse in …
I have been MIA this week, but it hasn’t been for naught! Last weekend my sisters and I went to the Portland Women of Faith conference, which was a BLAST, as always!! I also had a life-changing Ah-Ha moment for myself during that weekend and it has caused me to! I have had many of these in my life, but this one has really rocked my world.
I spent the early years of my life trying to be what I thought everyone expected of me, and in all honesty, I have also spent the latter years of my life doing the exact same thing.
It’s impossible to try and be something you’re not.
I’m not wild.
Matter-of-fact, I am a little bit of a nerd.
I like to think I am funny, but silly is really more like it.
I tend to be a homebody.
I thoroughly enjoy a good cleaning day, I find real satisfaction in it’s completion.
I dream about being a mama. It is what I know I was put on earth to do.
I also know that I am destined to be wealthy. Not in a ‘MWA-HA-HA-HAAA I’m gonna take over the world’ kind of way, but in a ‘Now that I true freedom, how can I help the world?’ kind of way.
I like all things fancy/sparkly/girly.
I could live in my comfy jeans, a tee, and darling ‘little’ (size 11) ballet flats.
I like the juxtaposition of comfy, cozy, glamor.
I really love following fashion, but being a plus-sized woman it is not always easy to implement what I know to be beautiful, so I dabble in interior decorating.
I come alive when it is sunny.
I am Team Edward ALL THE WAY!
I clean like a crazy person before I leave for vacation so that I can come home to a perfect house.
I organize like a crazy person.
I don’t know how to be anyone else.
God made me uniquely Christina.
I worked really hard this last year.
My focus was me, and I honestly had almost given up on myself.
This weekend taught me that: First and foremost, God has not left me, nor will He ever, and secondly I was reminded that God has given me unique talents, He gave them to me on purpose, so GO PUT THEM TO USE!!!
I am not athletic.
I love to spend the afternoon lost in a good book. (SHOCKER, I know!!)
And it turns out that just being Christina is turning out to be pretty good.
Have a FABULOUS evening! 😉
Sometimes coming up with topics for a blog is not the easiest thing in the world to do! I always want to have something witty and intelligent to say, but honestly tonight, I am drawing a blank!!! So, here is a thought for the day: …
It is only Tuesday and work is pretty rough!! BUT God bless my husband!!! He totally came to my rescue this afternoon – YES, I do need to be rescued every once in a while!! He met me with one of my favorite interior design …
Yeah! I am sooooo thankful that Friday has finally arrived!! YEAH!!! Anyone else needing this Friday as much as I do??? Not only that, but my boss gave me the thumbs up to leave 2-1/2 hours early!!! OH HAPPY DAY!!! 😉
Does anyone have any great plans for this weekend?? I don’t have anything too terribly exciting planned, but we do have a couple of fun things going on. Date night tonight, a game of frisbee golf in the park tomorrow, and who knows…
Sorry, my post tonight was interrupted by a call from my sis-in-law! You see my sweetie has size 17/18 feet, and to find him shoes is quite an undertaking. So, everyone in the family knows that when they find shoes that size, especially if they are on sale they are to either pick them up, or call us and we will go check them out. So, out the door we flew, to the other side of town, and unfortunately, the shoes that were found were too narrow! DARN!!!
Anyway, since we were on that side of town, and it is our date night, so we decided to do a little book shopping after a dinner out. NOW YOU KNOW I WILL NEVER TURN DOWN AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOP FOR BOOKS!!!
The books that I picked up are:
Well, I am going to go watch a movie with my sweetie, and start this WEEKEND!!! YEAH!!!!
Have a FABULOUS evening!
