I ponder as I wonder
Wednesday, 30 November 2005 7:46 A GMT-06
Cables cross me up. They just seem to have a life of their own. I want them to go this way, they go that way. It's frustrating!
It seems my hair is rebellious. I had started using a new shampoo, ran out of the other. My hair has been doing great, u

Not much

In fact, very little knitting took place yesterday. I had my normal fun work hours (don't tell Pam it's more fun than work!) and then pick up kids and go home. I did try to replace my cell phone earlier in the day, but no go. Waiting for the ONL

Wow, a wonderful new Blog-City editor. And I have lost this post twice now!!! But it isn't Blog-City's fault, it's the Google Pop-Up blocker! It won't let my Blog-City pop-ups through, even though I said always let this site's pop-ups, um, pop-up.
still giving thanks!

Even though I missed all the fun yesterday. I was ready to go, just needed to put on shoes. But that became an impossible task when the nausea hit. Then the dizziness hit, no, I am not pregnant. I was fighting it for a bit and then gave up. Sent Hubs

So many times throughout the year I am reminded of how fortunate I have been all my life. My blessings are:1) Having been born into a wonderful Christian family. We are not perfect Christians, only Christ is perfect, but we try. I am thankful for m

Thank you for all the kind comments about the Zip Me Up Sweater. That's what I named it, since it had no name. Now I am working on the Not Zipped Up Hat to match. Who wants a zipper in a hat? Tubular cast on again, which is a pain knitting in the rou

Yep, I've done it again. Joined another knit along I have no hope of keeping up with. Remember Knitting On The Road knit along? Haven't cast on for one pair of socks yet! And the current pick is my favorite from the book. Maybe I should just post a

Logging on to post in between the thunderboomers here. We are forecast to have thundershowers and conditions will be ripe for possible tornadoes. Prayers would be appreciated. It was one freakish night. Storms were south of us around 9:00 pm. Then by

I will be sweating it, down to the wire I am sure. But I plan to have a brand spanking new toddler sweater done my Friday evening. Why? Because I just found out the 1st Birthday/Christmas celebration for my Great-Nephew will be Saturday. I need to se

Amazing Grace
Friday, 11 November 2005 8:49 A GMT-06
Not only is it my favorite song, I have sung it for many occassions including weddings and funerals, but it is amazing the Grace God gives to those in need. Isaiah's mom was so strong and courageous through this entire ordeal. She gives all the credi

Getting ready to go attend Isaiah's funeral. I must thank all of you who have said prayers for his Mom, they are working. She has held up extremely well through all of this, but I am sure today will be hard to do. I was doing fine until I read a plaq

Still struggling with the loss of Isaiah. His grandmother and I have been friends for close to 13 years. She is a wonderful lady and so gracious and kind. Her daughter is so sweet and quiet. I am just praying that she can recover from this. But how?
How could such a lovely day go so wrong?
Sunday, 6 November 2005 2:26 P GMT-06
It was actually the overnight that went wrong. Some of you may know where I live, and for those who don't, we were hit with a tornado last night. We were lucky in that we are on the North side and it hit on the South side. My parent's just moved to

We are headed out tonight to a Shelter House Party. Birthday Bash, shh, it's a surprise. Hmmm, I don't think he reads my blog, I doubt he even knows I have one, so I think it's OK to post about it. I am in charge of fruit, dip (no, not the Hubster),

So nice to be better. Just need to wait for the pupil to close up so my less than perfect vision is restored. The pupil is still fairly wide open for the ointment he put in there. He said, about a week and things will be perfect. Good thing it's clou

I finally got to the Ophth yesterday and found out I have a Cornea Erosion/Abrasion. Must have happened about a year ago, since the pain has happened before. The eye would try to heal itself and I would rub it all away again. This time I am in a patc
