Thank God It’s
FRIDAY! I am soooo ready for this weekend!
I woke up at
about 5:30am, got my coffee to brewing, and have been smoking cigarettes and
drinking coffee ever since. I’m really, really, really – considering quitting
smoking very, very, very soon. Every morning, when I begin my smoking for the day, it just about kills
me I cough so much. There’s no way this is good for me. It’s got to be killing
me, and I’ve been planning on quitting, and I’m probably going to quit sooner
than I expected.
Problem is….getting
my Daddy on board. I want us to quit together, and I’m going to talk to him
about it when I see him today. I need to pray about this, and I’m about to.
I’m thinking
September 22, 2012- next Saturday. I’m going to talk to him today about it.
My prayer was
for the Lord to pick a day to claim the victory in our lives, and deliver us
from these cigarettes, for good. Maybe September 24th, that Monday.
Goodness! I can’t
wait to quit smoking! I just hope I don’t eat in replacement of that.
I settled my
emotional issues last night, with the help of Jesus Christ, on why I’ve been
eating so much these past 2 days. I may have some more issues today, that I
will lean on the Lord for help with, and I know He’s there, willing and able to
completely help me, where no one else is able or can.
It’s not enough
to have willpower, I’ve got to rely completely on the Lord God above, for
guidance, counseling, friendship, love, encouragement, support, understanding,
honesty, and healing.
He is all those
things, and The Mighty Counselor, who can and is, and will bring me all the way
through this, I feel for sure, because He is faithful, not because of anything
I have done.
I may not lose
any weight this week, though I might, but I know one thing, I’m not giving up.
I press on. I keep going. One weeks trials is another weeks triumphs.
I’m not even
hungry now, though I’m having coffee. I’ll probably have to eat something when
I get to Inetsouth this morning, cause of my diabetes, cause I have to eat with
this disease, though I’m hoping it will go away with weight loss.
Even if it doesn’t,
I thank God for medicine, that keeps me in balance…mentally and physically. He
is the Great Physician, and has revealed healing medicines to the researchers
at these facilities, though they may not realize where their knowledge is
coming from, God is using them for the good of those that Love the Lord.
Crap! I’ve got
to go to the DR’s office today, and I just remembered. I’ve got to get my Depo
shot, and I absolutely HATE waiting in a dang dr’s office. Today is the last
day, so I’ve absolutely got to go today.
I’ve been
shopping, and have found some really cute finds, but I’m not buying anything
just yet, until I lose down to a size 16, which is about 20 pounds away. I
figure it won’t get really cool for another month and a half, so I’ve got the
time to lose the weight, before I go shopping.
Thursday I went
to Hancock Fabric, but since I spent a lot of money on Brian’s Birthday present
at Jamie’s Field of Dreams, I was only able to buy enough fabric to make the
baby blanket for Kandi Huber’s nephew. I got some really cute fabric though,
and I know it’s going to turn out so cute, and I’m really excited about
starting on it this weekend.
It’s going to be
easy, only one piece of fabric to quilt, since it’s going to be a 39x48 baby
blanket. I have one more fabric to buy….Saints fabric, that I’m going to have
to order offline, since they didn’t have any in the store. I do have some fleur
de les in black and gold from my other quilts that I will use as well, but I
think some fabric that says Saints on it will be perfect. I’m also going to use
some of my leftover LSU fabric as well, so I didn’t have to buy any of that.
I should have
plenty of material left over, if anyone else has a baby, that I can make
another baby blanket for. It cost me $70 dollars to buy the material, but since
I bought probably 2x what I needed on some of it, I’m gonna charge Kandi $35
for the material, and $35 to sew it. $70.00 for a baby blanket. I hope that’s
not too much, but material is expensive, even on sale, and I feel that my time,
though I will never charge how much time I actually take doing it, I feel that
my time is worth something.
I enjoy making
these quilts, and I ran into Mrs. Shirley McQueen at the fabric store, and
showed her my photos of my quilts. She said I could probably sale them. The material
costs me 100 dollars to buy, then putting it together, another 100. I will
never make a living at making quilts, but I would be willing to make them for
people. If it takes 3 weeks to put a quilt together, and I charge 100 dollars,
I mean, that’s 100 dollars a month profit. That’s not really profit. I just
enjoy doing it, and if someone wants a quilt, I’ll be glad to make it for them
for that. I mean you pay 200 dollars for a comforter, so that’s really a fair
price, I think.
8:17am
We just got to
Inetsouth, and everyone’s busy working already, and we came in 15 minutes late.
I opened my Target package, and looked at my towels and rugs, and they are all
as expected, except for the toilet seat cover, it doesn’t really match my rug.
My shower
curtain still hasn’t come in, and I can’t find my shipping email, so I guess it
hasn’t been shipped yet, and I’ll have to check Target’s website.

11:34am
I’ve been up
maybe 15 minutes. I didn’t get home til 3am last night. I went over to my
Grandma & Grandpa Dearman’s home, and visited with Aunt Jenny, Aunt Becky,
Aunt Mary Beth, Whitney, Aunt Ann, Uncle David, and my Grandparents.
We had Bible
study starting at about 12pm, and studied until 2:30, and then I had to drive
home. It was a very blessed Bible study, and the Lord was with us.
I got on the
scale this morning, and it said 231.2. I’ve gained 1.6 pounds since last
Monday, but I know it’s all fluid, so I’m not worried about it. But I will walk
today and tomorrow, probably for 20 minutes each day, and watch my calories as
always.
We ate at The
Restaurant Sage last night. It was so good! I had the Filet and Brian had the
Ribeye. It tasted different than anything I’ve ever had, I took my leftovers to
Mama and she said it had fennel in it. I thought it was delicious J
They also have a fresh salad bar, with artichokes and spring mix lettuce, and Caesar
lettuce, fresh parmesan, and the best Italian dressing I’ve ever had in my
life! The Sage Wraps were also so good, and when I say everything was cooked to
perfection, I mean crisp, fresh, tender, juicy, everything good. We will be
going back, and I will be trying the lamb. Mmm, it was good.
We stopped back
by Aaron and Jennifer Branch’s home, and I gave Lenai her birthday gift, and I
got to play with their little baby Miss Claire. I also bought a beautiful lazy
susan Jennifer created. She has a facebook page called Love and Leftovers, and
she has the best gifts that she is making. She also has some beautiful frames
and things that I will most likely buy from her for Christmas presents. She has
all kinds of things, and she had projects going all over her home. Reminded me
my home, with fabric everywhere.
Jennifer has a
real gift for creating things, and I just pray that her business really takes
off, and she is able to create full time. I pray she has orders out the wazoo
coming up.
We stopped by
Home Depot while we were in Monroe, and we bought some of Martha Stewart’s
Potters Clay paint, so I will be painting and texturizing the walls in the
bathroom today.
I’ve been
praying this morning about starting this project, because I want to do it
right, and I know the Master Painter, who paints the skies every day. I just
hope I have the patience to get it done, and get it done right.
It’s time for
lunch, and I think I’m going to make that Nicoise Tuna Salad Sandwich again. It
was so good last time, and I’m really hungry, and it’s light, so I’m going to
make that.
I don’t know, I
don’t really feel like making something right now, I kinda want to get started
on the bathroom, so I may just have cereal for now.
I need to start
some clothes to wash, so I’ll probably do that first, and do that all
throughout the day. There’s so much I need to do, start on that baby blanket,
but I’ve got to do my bathroom first.
First things
first, I’ve got to wipe down the walls, and the baseboards, take down the towel
rack, put tape on all the trim…..then I can paint.
Brian has been
up since 8am, and now he’s making me coffee again. I got up with him at first
this morning, and then went back to bed, cause 8 am just came way too early
this morning.
He’s been up
moving our torn down pieces from our pump house to the back yard, so he can
burn everything tonight.
It’s so hot
outside, and I am so ready for it to really cool down, and I ask the Lord to
cool it down, it’s been such a hot, long summer.
Brian came home
last night, and didn’t go to the Dearman’s. Daddy let us borrow his truck so
that I didn’t have to first take Brian home and the go to Grandma’s.
5:09pm
I just woke up,
I’ve been asleep all day. I’ve done nothing but sleep today, and write a little
bit of this blog.
All I’ve had to
eat today is a bowl of cereal (350) and some trail mix (300) and I’m about to
have some coffee, as Brian is making it now (200)=950 for the day.
9:43pm
I’m about ready
for bed. I just got done eating a half a tuna sandwich, and a lot of bbq chips,
probably 500 calories, so that makes 1450 for the day.
I haven’t
walked, I’ve been too tired. Mama said when she stays up all night like I did
last night, she’s tired all day too, and does nothing but rest. I’m usually taking my meds at 8:30 or 10 at
the latest, and in bed at the latest at 11:30. This staying up all night is not
for me, at all. I’m an old woman, and can’t handle it.
We took Daddy’s
truck back to him at around 5:30, and visited with Mama for a minute, and she
gave us some milk and half and half, so we wouldn’t have to go to the store
today, cause I really didn’t feel like going anywhere else.
The Georgia game
didn’t come on tv today, so we didn’t watch much college football, and spent
most of our time watching Rizzoli & Isles: Season 1. We’re on the first disk,
and there’s 3 disks in the box, thank goodness, I like a long series.
I started on the
baby blanket, and it’s so cute. Little baby giraffes and dogs, and lambs, and
cows….sweet little baby things. I bought this one material from the lady at the
fabric store, because she said it was precious. I cut it out and started sewing
with it, then really looked at it for the first time, and I can’t stand the
dang material, I think it’s ugly, so I’m starting over on that square, and
never again will I take someone else’s judgment on what’s cute or not.
