Trying to host a party

Hey

Today is Saturday, it is 913 am, I already cleaned the kitchen, did the bathroom, started laundry, I cleaned the living room, I need to start getting ready for the day and go run some errands then come home, work on Landry still, and maybe throw in a work out – I am trying to learn to run in my own home, it went okay yesterday, I wanna keep going for half hour today – if I could just try to do it for 45 minutes a day, I would LOVE to have the runner’s addiction but I will NOT let my ankles limit me.

I have taken a big leap, offering to the facebook world – I want to have someone host a party for my work, buy a prize and make something, for the door prize, it would be a fun thing, I really would like this business to grow so I can have a side job. Plus it would support my beading, I cannot afford it out of my pocket money – so the money I earn goes DIRECTLY to the beads. Nothing else. I will try ebay soon, for the left over that didn’t sell.

Well, gotta get to the bank – pay day time! (well yesterday but whatever LOL)

It never ends! :-)

Morning!

Good start already – I gotten up at 445 and I did an attempt of a jog/walk but sadly it was for 15 minutes I was barefoot, I need to find my braces and wear shoes – I was really out of shape, and I stretched and I was not flexible, I am not surprised if I gain something back, but at least I still fit my clothes *whew* I need to get back in that route, so therefore I am enjoying my pineapple strawberry smoothie for breakfast :-D.

Last night, Bible Study, I was feeling SO good when I left the church last night, not only I met someone new, but it was something I needed after so long, it makes me so motivated to get better, I feel awful because most of the summer I didn’t even think about God or Jesus, it was mentioned about following Jesus leave everything behind, none of this “wait let me…” of course I am a perfect example. It shouldn’t be a struggle – which is why I am going to bring my Bible to work, and pick a random book I will close my eyes and randomly pick one (like picking name in the phone book) after the Mathew chap 9 of course (the reading for the next group meet)

I think I have a busy weekend ahead of me, which is pretty sad because I am not 100% sure what I am gonna do but that’s okay. I think in the morning I will try for that run again, if I start losing weight, I will be doing stomach crunches and push ups again so my cores would be getting the work outs.

I feel much better already, not much of a negativity at all – I am kinda looking forward to doing housework tmw! I do need to vacuum the living room, clean the kitchen floors, and do some laundry, and clean the bathroom – not much.

Quote from The Confident Woman of the day:

Work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ) – Philippians 2:12

Which is pretty funny, that I am talking about making changes of my life J

Prayer of the day:

Lord, I know that I am far from perfection and need to keep changing into Your image. Regardless of what others think, I will be bold to take action. Amen.

One of the things I really do need to change is to talk to Him more, He is always there for us, and I should be talking/praying more. I don’t want to end up with the whole “okay I pray, nothing bad happens to me, I am a good Catholic” it doesn’t work that way. I want to still be a better person/Catholic. I missed church almost the entire summer, which is really bad, and I don’t have a good excuse for it, I should have MADE time. This is what happens if I get side tracked, I lose something that I don’t want to lose. I shouldn’t sleep in because I don’t feel like getting up, Mass is usually on Saturday nights at 5 pm – I need to find out when church starts at 9 am instead of 10 am on Sundays, I  pretty much prefer to go to the 5 pm Mass. The next two Saturdays I am booked – but perhaps I should stop making plans/committing on Saturday evenings, hmm that’s a good thought. Easy said than done, all I could hope is that people would understand that if they ask and I say “unable to due to…”

I am extremely blessed, and I should not have taken it for granted – He has given me 2 families, friends, a husband, our pets, I KNOW he helped me with the job I have – I don’t want to keep taking, I have already committed to a Saturday after Thanksgiving for Caring for Kids *yes!* to stand on the street all day holding signs/collecting money from ppl in cars. It will be fun! Diane was so happy that Chris’s work donated A LOT of school supplies for the program. I am even considering helping a friend out with youth groups! Yep – on Sundays, help plan activities, I may even go to the confirmation retreat and run a group :-D I will have to start writing what I would say about my Faith. It would be REALLY nice if I could get more involved with church. I really do miss it!

Have a great day/Weekend!

Rushing Morning :-D

Morning,

WHAT a morning! It hasn’t even begun yet – I get up at 430, and its 545 now, I made chris’s lunch and did a walking work out my goal was 30 mins, but he texted me at 520 something, I started at 5, and he forgotten his laptop rush into town to give It to him, just in that hour and 15 minutes of a rush, tells me today ill have a busy day. :-D

I make good smoothies for myself, I decided to start having smoothies – I just found the RIGHT amount of juice/type of juice just makes it so yummy. And it has fiber so I need that in my system, I started to remember to take my vitamins, I am not on pre national vitamins, I’m on mutli something for her. So hopefully that will help out my system. My weight loss thing has been a dud, so I am trying to get back to the route since the last two three weeks has been kinda hard for me to work out. I cannot wait for summer to be O V E R  - my allegeries has been VERY bad this year.

Today is gonna be a good day – employer’s appreciation day and a BBQ at work, and Bible Study starts up again *yay* have I mentioned how much I love my job lately? Well I LOVE MY JOB – and I know today is gonna be a easy going day for work :-D

I am so excited – my walk in closet/craft room is ALMOST done – it needs to be sanded and carpet!! The floors are in, the walls are back in, and it needs to be painted and put shelves on! YAY – just matter in weeks I can start doing stuff in that room AND I have been wanting to HOST a girl’s game night once again last one was in May – with just 4 people and Travis – it was a lot of fun! :-D I miss hosting things.

I think I will invite maybe 4 people this time, since I am limited on chairs, and make it a cocktail night too :-D since my Magic Bullet does its good job. (it’s a blender I use it for my smoothie every morning)

Quote of the day from the book:

To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven:… a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together,…a time to get and a time to lose, a time to keep and a time to cast away. – Ecclesiates 3:1-6

The prayer of the quote of the day:

Lord, my time is in Your hands. Help me be fearless as I face change and embrace change. I want to be vibrant and fully alive. Amen.

This is a good quote for people like me – highly stressed. There is a change in my life I can change to become more stressfree, one of them, is not letting things get to me, even the smallest things. I really do need to stop worrying about what people think of me. It is hard to do that, because I try to make everyone happy, and I shouldn’t be feeling like that, and struggle, if they aren’t happy with who I am, what I do, then they don’t need to be around me.  Hopefully everyone will accept me for me. :-D

Have a blessed day

Admitting I have a Problem...

The first step is addmiting if one has a problem

I have a problem - let the healing begin. i need to be a better person, more pure, no more swearing, no more angry moods, why do i need that in my life? i noticed i have failed to stay on the *right* path...

once agian the Devil has lead me wrong - i need to get back to the Good path, with Jesus i was so close and i wandered off.... *shame on me* yet i am still far from the bad.

Today- i will start with a postive day - time to focus on myself and God - our relationship shouldnt have been maintained, it needs to still grow.

Bleh..,

Morning,

I know it is 5 am – and I have been starting on the walking work out – and I am gonna get back to it – for a half hour – I figure I will do it while watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I am already on season 7 – I haven’t watched that show for years.

I already had my smoothie – I cannot wait for Bible Study again tmw, it starts up after about a month, I cant wait to see the people there.

I am just lacking on energy and I just want to sleep all the time.

This week is not gonna be a good week for me, it has already been stressful, I gotten a cold sore *sighs* I just cannot wait to catch a break, perhaps I will sleep in on Saturday.

Hasn’t been the best morning – I was woken up so freaking early… ah well, I need to get the coffee started so I can get loaded up on caffeine.

I just need to remind myself, I am a good person, I am friendly, loving, caring, warm, wonderful person, even on days/weeks like this when I am very down/negative. Now I just need a reminder -.-

I haven’t texted/received text as much as before, my phone batteries actually last long…. Nice eh?

Facebook - Bad Addiction/Overreacting

Okay,

Facebook is becoming a problem for me... *again* I must learn to BITE my freakin tongue. Not only i have been called on for "not very Christian" of course that hits me in a soft spot i needed to remove a post. I keep saying things out of anger, WHY?! i was furious over the dogs that chased my cats into a very tall tree the night before, and she could have died from heat stroke/starvation, of course, it isnt the dog's fault, it was her own. but shes okay, i think - i am going to clear out my phone *once again* so it has no history of facebook on it, so i HOPE it will help me not want to get on it as often. it is a pointless addiction to have...

becomming offensive, my language has been nasty, my mood/opinion arent very pleasant, sheesh no one wants that. i think i need to take a BIG step back from Facebook world.

I just dont get why its addicting... I will have to try my best not to update my status, perhaps do it like once a week? i dunno.

My over reaction is getting out of hand, it could cost me things that i dont want to lose.
