Today-will be spent alternating between cleaning house and school work. Tonight I'll be watching The Rainmaker on Netflix, for an assignment in my Medical Legal Issues class. Has anyone watched this?

Dh and I did not do anything for our anniversary. We've talked of going to the coast of NC this summer after I finish school.

We were under a Tornado watch for the majority of the day yesterday. The winds were fierce and it turned cold rather quickly. The transition between winter and spring.

Is it still winter?

today was an absolutely gorgeous day!  Temps almost at 70*!! It is still February, last I looked at the calendar.
Snow is in the forecast for tomorrow night, for the higher elevations and temps will be in the 40's for the high on Saturday.  Gotta love the weather here in the mountains of NC!

There is a saying around here that if you dont' like the weather, just wait a bit and it will change. That is true. I do wish we would get at least one good snow before spring.

Oh! And I had robins in my yard yesterday!! Sure sign Spring is on the way!



Wordless Wednesday

Who am I?

While praying one day a Woman asked, "Who are you, Lord?"

He answered, "I am".

"But who is I Am?", she said.

And He replied-

"I am Love, I am Peace,

I am Grace, I am Joy.

I am the Way, Truth, and the Light.

I am the Comforter,

I am Strength, I am Safety,

I am Shelter, I am Power, I am the Creator,

I am the Beginning and the End,

I am the Most High"

The woman with tears in her eyes looked

toward Heaven and said,

"Now I understand. But Lord, who am I?"

Then God tenderly wiped the tears

from her eyes and whispered,

"You are Mine!"

should be studying

but I can't get my mind into studying mode. sigh. I have 4 test this week. Well, one is just a 'quiz' but it is on the vertebral bones.

Week before last I was in TN all week with my daughter. She had gall bladder surgery. She is doing really well. I sure enjoyed spending time with her and my sweet grandson. He will be 4 mo old next week! Starting to teeth. I sure miss that baby!! 

Driving lessons already?



To those who posted and encouraged me to keep blogging-thank you. Maybe some day I'll be able to put more time into blogging.

So who is hooked on Pinterest? I do like to go on there and see what people have pinned. Fun!

Well, not much else to say.

Saturday, 1/28/12

The first month of 2012 is almost gone! It has been a busy month. Classes started back, sickness, daughter had surgery, volunteering again. Busy.
But good.
I've been at my daughter's all week, helping her since her gall bladder surgery, helping with my grandson. What a joy!! He is a sweetie! 3 1/2 month old now! 

I've been thinking about my blog. What to do? I enjoy blogging but it seems that I never have anything worth while to say. I've read back and more times than not, I'm complaining. Whining. Being negative. I dont' want to be that way. That's why I havent' posted in awhile. Have really had nothing to post about.

Going to take some time to think about this. Do I want to keep it up? I don't have a 'following' so to speak. I'm thankful to those who do read and comment.

What are some ways to keep a blog interesting?

First Saturday of 2012

The new year is a week old.

My daughter and her little fam are safely back home in TN. New beginnings for them as her hubby starts a new job on Monday. Changes are not easy to take sometimes. The what-ifs can be scary.

So far this year I have not accomplished anything. Isnt' that sad? Depression, sickness, low vit. D., fibro pain, circumstances that need changing that I really have not control over. So what do I do? I shut down. I withdraw. That's not good. I know. I'm trying. But sometimes it's hard to know where to even start.
One thing for sure is to cut back on the overload of sugars I've been eating. And then my hubby brings home 4 (yes! 4 ) bags of Goetz Caramel Creams!  Do you know how much I love these things? I now have a jar of them sitting on my table beside my chair where my ever-widening rump has been sitting the majority of the past week. sigh. So that jar will be going into the cabinet in the kitchen. Out of my sight.
Another sign of too much sugars is my excema is flaring bad. Of course that can be caused by stress as well.
Classes start back next week. It's going to be a busy semester but will be my last!!! Except for a couple classes in the summer.
I've got to get myself together before it ends! How am I going to find a job in the shape I'm in?
Standing (sitting) still is not going to get me out of this hole. It's starting to get dark down here.
