Many Blessings


Today is the 24Th November in 2010! Can you believe another month away and it will be Christmas Eve. Where has the time gone? Random things happen to me to stop me in my tracks to remember why I'm here for one, and two, how blessed I am in my life. Today I had a homeless person stop by our office at work. We were not able to help in my line of work, but we were able to help him by giving him a cup of coffee, cookies, and send him on his way. My boss, and I said, to each other, but where does he go? This man coming into our lives for a short moment made me realize that I'm glad to have a home, (well for now at least a temp home to go to)! I'm glad to have a job to pay the bills, food, gas, saving for a down payment for a home, and money to entertain me!
I'm blessed to have family, friends, and most of all, a husband to help me keep me in check when I get all crazy!
Speaking of crazy, we both have a fun filled 2 days ahead. We are currently at work, (yes I'm taking a break), then we have to finish a CD project we are doing for a friend, bake to pecan pies, make pinwheel appetizers and wash a load of jeans. We are celebrating Turkey day this year in a parking lot. We will be tailgating at the Cowboys Stadium with close friends and family. I'll post later with pictures. For now I'm wishing all of 3 people who read my blog a happy Turkey Day!

Random Thoughts

Today is Sunday. I've accomplished 2 loads of laundry, cleaned the bedroom and bathroom. I also paid 2 bills. The Cowboys are about to play w/ a new head coach. We will see how the game goes.
I did go to a kickboxing class this past week. I'm just now recovering! My goal is to go more often after work.
I cut my hair this past week, and it's really short. By the way, I discovered, no matter how short my hair is; I lose it just the same. I find tiny hairs now all over me and the bathroom floor!
Things I need to do before the month is over:


  1. Read my book
  2. Decide on what we are doing for Christmas exchange
  3. Decide what to do for our 6Th year anniversary. I also need to come up w/a creative gift. I can choose from candy or iron as the themed gift.
  4. Get connected to a long term friend or family member
  5. Keep saving money for our down payment for a house

In a Blink of and Eye

Baseball is over. I've never watched as much baseball in my life as I have since we've been back from Octoberfest. We were even watching stats on all of our cell phones while in Fredericksburg. Baseball became part of our schedule around work. I loved every minute of it.


Wow. November already. I'm excited for cooler weather. This month is my sisters b-day, (this week). Then turkey day. I'm not sure what we are doing, but it will be a paid day off!

I can't believe we are beginning to surround ourselves around the holidays. I'm playing Christmas music already in Flute Choir. The grocery stores are stocking the shelves w/baking goods. I must do one thing to get into the holiday spirit soon, or else this season will fly by in a blink of an eye. Any suggestions?
