FRIDAY!
4am, and I was awake this
morning. There was no mistaking the time today, my mind had already woken up,
and there was no putting it back to sleep.
I said Good Morning to my
Sully, made coffee, and turned on the computer. We left the windows open last
night, so it was 62 degrees in here when I checked the thermostat. It was a
little chilly, but I know both me and Brian like to sleep in the cold, and
being that Brian was still asleep, I didn’t want to crank the heat up just yet,
so that he would have a good night’s sleep. We have an electric fireplace in
our living room, so I turned it on, instead, and shut the kitchen window.
I played on facebook for a
while, and posted this blog, then at about 6am, I grabbed my Bible, and read some
more of the Lord’s instructions, the scripture that follows the 10
commandments. I have left off there, and I find that I can only read so much at
a time, and really grasp it.
With my day started off
right, I was tired of sitting, so I started some laundry, washed some dishes,
and cleaned the kitchen. Brian got up as I was starting to wipe off the
counters, at about 7am.
We had planned yesterday to
see Daddy and meet Granny at Mama’s at around 10, but we ended up going over
there at about 9:15, after we fed all the dogs and cats.
I think Daddy really liked
all the things we got him from Florida: An LSU leather/camo wallet, and 2
harley t-shirts, one sentimental, as it has Yosemite Sam on it. Daniel had a
Yosemite Sam with smoking guns with the caption “Got your tickets?” Tattoo on
his arm.
We had already given Mama her
things the day we got back from Florida, while Daddy was at the deer camp.
We talked about cows, and
though we are not exactly sure how me and Brian are going to get into it just
yet, as we have not prayed for direction, though we have prayed that God make a
way, if it’s His will. If it is His will, though there may not be a way at this
moment, something will develop, and the way will be opened up, we just gotta
wait, be thankful, and trust in the Lord, that whatever is best for us, will
become a reality.
Granny showed up at 10 on the
money. She’s making a new quilt, in a pattern I’ve never seen. It has rail
fence, 9 patch, and large squares all put together to make a big square, and it…is…
beautiful! When I get done with Grandpa’s cross quilt, I do believe I’m going
to start on one like this.
We picked up Granny a bell,
as she collects them, and some Saltwater Taffy. I think she was happier with
the taffy than the bell, though I know she liked both.
Mama made deer steak and
gravy last night for dinner, and she had tons leftover, so I had PLENTY of deer
steak, and even a little corn, mashed potatoes, and peas for lunch. She started
making breakfast for Daddy, and Brian wanted a biscuit, so I had to wait for us
to leave, and in the process, I fell asleep in the recliner, until about
12:45PM.
Granny gave me the idea to
paint some flower pots, and Mama has a bunch leftover from the greenhouse, some
antique that a nice lady gave her, all terra cotta but one. We rounded some of
those up before we left, and headed to Delhi.
I picked up my plant stand
today! Brian really liked it as I left Reservoir Relics this afternoon with it
in hand. I would have liked to have shopped some more in there, and told the
owner so. We’re just about spent out from our trip to Florida, though, so I
only got the one plant stand.
We went by the bank, got a
Sonic Diet Coke, and stopped by Verizon. Brian’s contract runs out tomorrow,
and he has talked of nothing but phones for the past month, and wanted to check
them out in person.
I think he’s going to get the
Galaxy Note II, though we aren’t completely decided as of yet, because it doesn’t
ship until Nov. 26th, and he wants it now. But I’m going to try to
get him to just wait, cause I really think it’s the best phone on the market
right now.
I have a DROID Bionic, and I
am completely happy with the Android system, and the phone. Service could be
better, as I get really crummy service at home with my Mobile Hotspot. I guess
Verizon just hasn’t made it out to these parts just yet. J
We ran to Wal-Mart, as I was
out of jug water and half and half, both for my coffee. I picked that up, and
some spray paint and glitter to do my flower pots.
After we made it home, I
worked on my flower pot for all of 15 minutes, only waiting an hour for it to
dry in between. It took no time and it ended up really pretty: silver pot with
white initial “S”, gold and copper glitter.
Which got me to thinking,
silver and gold go really well together! I think that I’m going to add some
silver touches to this mostly gold room, such as silver curtains, and silver
and copper throw pillows, and maybe a copper lamp shade. I might even get my
chair redone in copper, and then it will be silver/gold/copper! I’m so excited
about it!
I talked to both Sabrina and
Danielle today. I am so thankful to have such wonderful friends, that I can
call anytime.
Brian watched Captain
America, and I made dinner: Hamburger Helper Cheesy Hash Browns. They turned
out all right, not as good as we would have thought, but for $1.50 a box, I can’t
expect much! J
Brian went and played
Playstation, and I joined him soon thereafter, with plans to get on the
treadmill. I really didn’t want to, so I was stalling. Brian mentioned hanging
up that mound of clothes in our bedroom chair, and I knew that if we did that,
I wouldn’t walk tonight. When I started putting my tennis shoes on, Brian
turned off the game, and said he was about to start on the clothes. I wanted to
be near him tonight, so I took my shoes off, and it took us an hour to hang up
all those clothes, and get them organized and color coded in my closet.
My closet is packed, and I’m
not going to be able to buy any more clothes right now, because they won’t fit!
So until I lose some more weight, and can sell some of these clothes, I’m just
going to wear the same ole crap over and over.
Brian is now watching
Spiderman on Demand, and he just made me some coffee, my last few sips of the
night. I need to count my calories, I’m just wondering if the deer steak is
even on that app? I don’t know. I guesstimate I had around 1500-1700 today, and
I didn’t burn any of that off with a walk. I’ll just have to get up and do it
tomorrow…..probably in the morning, because it helps to go ahead and get it
over with.
