Christmas Shopping

I had an awesome day out with my second Mom Donna. We into the city to do some shopping.
We hit the big sale they were having at Kohl's .  I spent enough "Christmas" wise to get $10 Kohl bucks for my next visit. I also bought me these awesome "hooker boots" as I like to call them for my birthday.

Then we went to Bath & Body Works another one of my favorite stores.  There I even got FREE merchandise, which I picked to be their new flavor of Twilight Wood lotion and $10 off my next purchase.

Now I am in FULL Christmas mode.  I am so ready to get a tree up.  DH says it's too early.  He's also still telling me no about a real tree as well.  He says I have a hard enough time remembering to water my flowers outside, and the dog.  Fuddy Dud.  Well it's coming soon.  This sista is BRINGING IT ON!!!

If I can't have that, I am going to be ready blog wise. 

Also I put my "followers" back up.  I'm so over the whole "I'm not following you anymore" thing.  Follow me, don't follow me.  But seriously, it's an uneven number, can at least one person add theirself?  You know I hate odd numbers, lol.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Fun Friday

Have a Great Weekend!!

The Bravest Man I Know

The Bravest Man I Know
by Amanda Whitney

The bravest man I know.
Is a man I've never met.
He's a man who risks his life
To save a friend,
Not only to save a friend,
But to save a nation.
Risking his life
For those he does not know.
Stepping up
Leaving loved ones behind,
So that somewhere,
Someone else won't have to.
He is a man who follows orders
Even though he knows he might die.

The bravest man I know.
Is the man who would rather die,
So one more person could go home
To see his family again.
The man who stares death in the face,
But never blinks.

The bravest man I know.
Is the man who risks his life
So one day the world may be a better place for his children.
Or any man who goes against his biggest fear.
DEATH
Just to save someone he loves.

The bravest man I know.
Is the man who fights
So another man can have the taste of sweet freedom.
Not fighting only for his own benefit,
But for many others all over the world,
Fighting to make this world a better place.

That's the bravest man I know.

Sunday Morning Thoughts

Praise and Worship was thoughts running through my head when I woke up.
This chorus has been running through my head all morning:

Oh, sometimes I just want to praise You

Sometimes just to speak Your name

Sometimes I just want to thank You

Without asking you for a thing

Oh sometimes I lift my hands to You

Then sometimes all I do is cry

Everything that I have I owe to You, Lord

And Calvary's the reason why

I couldn't find any versions online that I liked well enough to post.

I feel much better now that I vented about the whole follower thing Friday. 
It is just like that song, "People Are Crazy", Seriously.  Today I am Thankful because I have had a stalker in the my life and well, they're not so fun. 

I know you are probably wondering what is up with the Christmas music already.  I LOVE FALL!!  So what does that have to do with Christmas music?  I don't really consider fall being over or taking down my fall stuff until the day after Thanksgiving but this year I am SO ready for Christmas.  It always seems we fly through it in such a rush because our family being spread out so far.  I never really get the chance to enjoy all the festive  parts of it.  So this year I am starting earlier.  While I am not ready to dress the blog up for Christmas, I am easing into it with the Christmas music. 
So what is your Thanksgiving/Christmas Traditions??

I'm thinking maybe the upcoming weeks until Thanksgiving until Christmas maybe posting some of my favorite dishes for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Season? 


This weekend has been busy.  It's one of the warmest days we've had lately with a high of 72.
DH finished cleaning out my flower beds and have them looking so good and blah.  That is one of the bad things about winter.  Everything so "Blah".
I fixed a pot of beans, fried taters, kraut & wieners, a pone of cornbread and a fresh apple crisp for supper.
We had Nannie over.  This is one of her favorite meals.  She says it reminds her of when she was at home years ago.  We had a good visit.


What did everyone else do this weekend??
