ice cream

I know I am on a diet and all, but I was just thinking how a bowl of Breyers vanilla ice cream with peanuts and chocolate sauce sounds really good. Oh to be one of those people who have a really high metabolism :)

To be content

Today I was thinking about how I wish I was somewhere else, you know...like on a beach or on a cruise ship or something. Heck, I would even be happy in a shack if it was in Hawaii. But then I remembered that verse in the Bible about how we should learn to be content no matter what the situation and somehow, that calmed me. Spiritually I mean. I think I get very restless and learning to be content, that is a gift I would love to have. Just the word makes me smile. So wierd blog world, here is my desire, put out there for anyone to who wants to know...Contentedness...*sigh*

finally

It is so nice to have a computer in the home that I am living in again. I am going to work on posting my book as soon as I learn how to do so. It is also nice to know that my former home is being occupied by two very responsible gals! (I say that with my tongue in my cheek) what does that saying really mean anyways? Oh and DeA, I just want to say that I am glad you have enjoyed the olympics! Glo Bowling was fun and I do think that a Las Vegas trip in August should be a plan!

Pet peeves
I don't know if that is spelled right, but I guess you get the point. Anyways, you know what bugs me? Re runs, not the ones of the old nostalgic shows we know and love because you want to watch re runs of those, but when it's supposed to be a new show and an old one is on, it is so disappointing. Some may say that I should find better things to do with my time...like watch the olympics maybe, but I don't want to watch that. I would rather see Las Vegas. I also hate when people use improper grammer. (Because I'm sure I never do! HA) and by the way, anyone who cares (Bee and Dee) Michelle had her baby...Allie Marie McKibben 7 lbs 5 oz, lt brown hair! Yeah

flashback

So Bee got me the Christy Miller books for valentines day and I just started reading them again...it really takes me back, not to be cheesy, but these were a big part of my growing up. Every major boy decision went back to, "Well, what would christy and todd do?" I love it and I love the feeling of innocence it brings. If you have never read them, you should, no matter your age!

I am still having problems figuring out how to post and all that. I have to say that I am glad that the holidays are over and I don't usually feel that way. I guess the older we get it seems there is less wonder and more irritation. I wish that wasn't the way it is, but it was at least this year. Oh well, live and learn I guess. I think it is a good thing though because it teaches me how to change to make things better next year. It was a beautiful holiday though and the Christmas Eve service was awesome and I received great gifts. I wish there would come a day when I would be able to stop learning how NOT to do things and instead just be able to be content as I am, but that day is not today and I am still imperfect and still have tons and tons of room to grow, but I just pray that God will be patient with me and be gracious to me in keeping my mistakes to a minimum..."In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration" a quote by Ansel Adams to realize that all experiences can be considered good if we look hard enough!
