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)
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!

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
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.
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 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.
It has been a few days since i have updated - I have been more motivated to blog more often. Which is a good thing, I know half of the readers do not have an account/comments, but that is okay :-) my life should be updated to find out what I am doing these days - if I could I could encourage more of you to have blogs so I can keep updated :-)
well, for starters my closet (well craft room, but it is gonna be designed as a huge walk in closet) is gong very good - i am hoping for a second bathroom soon, just a toilet and sink/mirror *thats it* sharing bathrooms is getting too hard.
I just gotten home from ocean shores yesterday, of course - I did not wanna leave, i would love to move back up there, I know there aren’t much to do there, but it is too peaceful, and I love it, I enjoyed just sitting on the couch, having *nothing* to rush for and read while ppl were getting ready, and I was at peace, here is just so much crap. I miss having weekends of nothing - and I miss reading. I finished Angels&Demons by Dan Brown - it is a good book, i decided to charge my nook up, and download a book from the library, i can tell my library doesn’t have alot of e books - i cannot wait for them to get more books. after this weekend, no... after NEXT weekend, i will have no plans till thanksgiving i am hoping to keep it that way for a lil while. i do miss sleeping in, not worrying about getting up, this weekend, i am gonna meet up with a friend, and i have my niece's 13th birthday party (she is 13 already, i cannot believe it... time does fly) i have some ideas what she would like for her birthday - now it is time to try to tug chris out of that kid mode into the teen mode for the shopping lol. then later on this year, my nephew is gonna be 13... wow, i only have two youngsters are still under 10... okay... but the rest are teenagers, i actually feel pretty... old... lol
i switched purses - i love my new purse, i am getting used to the strap across the chest, i think i like that type of purse more than *carry* it with my hands/arms.
I discovered... how NASTY Tully's coffee is, man i am staying loyal to starbucks, and i use their coffee to make my coffee every morning.
i am feeling *MUCH* better, just pretty much 100% but i am experiencing chest pains, i looked it up, but it doesnt look like its a big deal... but if it comes back i ll take some meds, its like PCS or something like that, not supposed to last for more than 24 hours, it is common for kids/teenagers, adults can get them but not as common as the others.
my cat - has been chased to a tree last night, she could have died from heat stroke, i was beyond mad when i gotten a text from my parents, of course it makes me dislike dogs *even more* but i know its not entirely their faults, i mean thats my baby, if she died, or stretch i would unbelievably heart broken the other two cats are younger they are good. i rushed to see her, she was sore, sappy, hot, tired, few days she should be good as new, and she needs a bath... bad.
for the dogs - i never really cared for dogs, there are few dogs i can tolerate/like, i dont like buffy sometimes, shes too annoying - i am a cat person period. but i am prone to get bitten/attacked by dogs i have been attacked by:
mutts, pitbull, great dane (yeah its a bit hard to believe a great dane would bite but any dog is a threat), terrier, rot rieler, like i said muttS so few of those. been bitten since i was 3, i just cannot deal with dogs. there are only TWO dogs i can trust in the house/room ALONE with me - Roxy and Buffy (just because i have known them since they were a pup, i know they wont harm me but i cannot say to other dogs that i actually dont know or very well). family's dogs, friend's dogs, ex boyfriend's dog, strangers ' dogs has bitten me...
i need to end this - time to start getting ready to clock in for work. :-D
Okay – someone asked me a very good question the other day about Coach – WHY do I like coach so much.
I remember seeing my very first coach by someone else who had one, and she explained to me how good it was, and ever since, I was maybe…. 17? I wanted a coach, there were some I liked some I didn’t, then I started carrying purses when I was 19 I know pretty late of age, but my family had a point, I am no longer a kid, I need to start carrying my ID and etc. it got easy for me to carry a purse. I would buy one here and there from the mall, but never coach because it was so much money, this was before I knew about the outlet mall.
The cheapest one I saw was 200 some, it was just too much money.
I met Chris, married him, he didn’t understand “hundred dollars…?! For a PURSE?!” I couldn’t convince him why.
When I got my first purse last year, it is black (currently using it now), I fell in love with it, I noticed so many differences, it was black, it wasn’t wacky colors, it wasn’t funky, it was professional, and I was working at Target at the time, and I was trying to find a new job as well. I couldn’t show up at a interview with a flashy leopard print purse. They are still cute, but it wasn’t impressionable. I used that purse for 7 months, and I saved up my Christmas money, my paychecks from Target and bought a new one, a spring/summer, I had gotten a great deal, 30% off each item, plus I was shopping at the 50% off stuff too. I love their design their qualities. I bought a simple 20 dollar purse from Ross – and it claimed to be 70 dollars somewhere else, I hated the material after a few days, stitches gotten loose, I couldn’t deal with it, I got rid of it and went back, I like to rotate purses, I like Kathy Van Zeeland, but it isn’t me, too flashy the style is pretty common, I don’t care for babyphat, its too flashy, there is so many other purses that is just cute, but I just cannot leave Coach. Nothing draws me more than Coach, I gotten other purse, I no longer use, I tried, but it wasn’t the same. The material, the leather everything – I couldn’t find any more better quality than Coach. I will keep my Coach for years, I will switch back and forth, I just discovered I can take them to the dry cleaners and have them clean my purse for $10.00 *score*
There is nothing wrong with other brands, it just doesn’t fit me. I have tried Guess, XOXO (I still have), Rossli (I loved her – but my straps would break within months and I had my Coach for much longer and it hasn’t), I never gotten purses as I gotten older from a store like Target or Walmart, I wanted better quality purses. The styles matches me best than any of the ones I have seen.
If I have never discovered Coach, I wouldn’t have thought about the money spending, I would still buy some other purses.
I would not pay full price, I mean 400 500 dollars?! I don’t have that kind of money, when I gotten the invitation for the up to 70% off, I had to look, and I saved a lil here and there, it took me a long time, and I spent *less* than 100 dollars. I cherish each one of the purses I have. there is one my FAVE, it’s a Hurley but I deff cannot use it because it does look childish L
The other type of purses I like, those leopard, tiger stripes, the loud colors – I LOVE them, but they don’t go well with me L
I hope it answers the questions why I like Coach so much, I only had coach for a lil over a year. J
