Friday Fill-In...on Saturday

So, I've been slacking in my posts again. Not much has been happening. I've been taking tons of pictures, which are all located in my Facebook picture albums. We're currently enjoying WONDERFUL weather, more Spring or Fall-like than Summer! The temp right now is 75 degrees. It's about 2:30 in the afternoon, in the middle of July, in Tennessee! Amazing! We're enjoying every minute of it! Shad's out golfing this afternoon. Tomorrow, we'll be making a trip to Burgess Falls (on the Cumberland Plateau). Be on the lookout for lots more pictures!

We're quickly approaching the time for school to start; teacher stuff starts on July 25 with a CPR class. We'll start more regular meetings, etc. soon after in August and school starts on September 1. How quickly Summertime passes!

Just to have something more to write, I'm going to do a Friday Fill-In even though today's Saturday.



And...here we go!

1. Mac & cheese and tuna & peas make a quick and easy dinner.

2. Clifford's Manners is the book I'm reading right now.

3. July brings back memories of hot and humid softball tournaments!

4. To marry or not to marry was obvious.

5. They say if you tell your dreams that you should try to reach them.

6. Take plenty of time to think it over.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Pizza Night, tomorrow my plans include absolutely nothing besides enjoying the WONDERFUL weather and Sunday, I want to go with the fam to Burgess Falls!

Friday Fill-In

And...here we go! Sorry for being such a slacker!

1. Angel or not, I will do God's work to the best of my ability.

2. Bend me, shape me, any way you want me, long as you love me, it's all right.

3. As my mother used to say, you're full of sugar and spice and everything nice.

4. I always cool down after I'm done working out or doing something strenuous (not that it's very often).

5. Even in the most crowded of rooms I try to stay in the shadows (I don't like crowds!).

6. A day of warm temperatures with a cold front moving through is a day fraught with peril.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to reading more of the book, 'Twilight', tomorrow my plans include our final softball practice in the morning, who knows what in the afternoon and evening and Sunday, I want to learn lots of new stuff in my photography class!

And...here we go!

1. It seems like this year is already flying by!

2. Let me know when you're done, please?

3. If I thought you wouldn't debate with me I'd be more open to talk!

4. Your love for me is what I think of most when I think of you.

5. To me, Valentine's Day means another way to show God's love.

6. My faith and trust in Jesus Christ gives me strength.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to my tv shows, tomorrow my plans include who knows what in the morning and then working childcare in the evening (romantic Valentine's Day, huh?) and Sunday, I want to catch a Sunday afternoon nap!

Friday Fill-Ins...on Saturday

So, I've been slacking on this blog and haven't even been doing the Friday Fill-Ins lately. Honestly, I forget about it on Fridays and don't feel like I should do it anytime later, so just don't do it at all. However, I'm foregoing that this week and am just going to do it. So, here goes...

Thanks to Richard, Shad put up our icicle lights for the first time in 3 years.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Domino's pizza and chicken (sad, I know), tomorrow my plans include a trip to The Discovery Center with Christopher and Shad in the morning, a birthday party in the afternoon and Shad's work Christmas party in the evening and Sunday, I want to watch the Titans win #12!

TGIF!!!

Although it's rainy and yucky here today, I'm so excited it's Friday! For one, it's Pizza Night! You'd think after eating Domino's pizza (pepperoni at that) just about every Friday for the past 8 years, I'd be sick of it. Nope! I still LOVE it!!!

The other reason I'm excited it's Friday is because that means it's time for...



1. Right now, I'm feeling ready to get out of the house (if only it would stop raining)!
2. Back on the beach in Destin is where I want to be.
3. How does one NOT like Coca-Cola and chocolate as much as I do?
4. My family and faith keeps me on track.

6. Raising a child fills me with joy.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a Halloween party and Pizza Night, tomorrow my plans include going to Knoxville for the Tennessee/Alabama game (GO VOLS!!!) and Sunday, I want to be lazy and play hookie from church in the morning and then go to our Fall Festival in the evening!

Next week is Halloween! Be ready for some neat pumpkin pictures! We'll be carving and painting this week. =)
