| Reeses Peanut Butter Cups |
 Very popular, one of you is not enough. |
In the process I'm trying out Mozilla's Thunderbird their email client i like it and that you can add extensions like firefox...but it does take some getting used to after using Outlook for so long.
I'm definitely missing DH Jack's being good for me though...but it is nice b/c daddy will get up and make the morning bottle for jack and mom can sleep 10 minutes longer :P
I hope he's having fun down there with his parents!
This weekend I need to finish up dh and my costume for bless 'n' treat we're going as Clowns too...so we'll be the clown family :)
I'm hoping to get to take Jack to a pumpkin patch but it is looking more and more like it won't happen we'll see. I also want to sell the computer armoire this weekend too...that would be AWESOME!!
Anywho...I'll catch you later!
Well this weekend dh is going out of town to visit his parents and to help out since his dad had back surgery. He will also be taking their dining room table to their house which will be nice for me b/c it is too big for our house and it will help control out clutter issues by getting the big table and all those chairs out of here.
We're still trying to figure out how the piano will be getting down there.
Anywho...I want to get Jack over to a pumpkin patch this weekend. It will be sad without kenny there but you do what you have too and I'm really running out of time. I want to get some good pictures of him....they may not have any pumpkins left! I'm thinking of dressing him up in his clown suit to go to the pumpkin patch should make for some cute photos.
Well I'm at work and better get back to it. Cya!

Wow....yesterday was fantastic!! I really felt sooo productive.
I cleaned up a bit before I met with my organizer!!! What a great meeting she has some great ideas and I'm excited to get started getting my house out of CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome ~ www.flylady.net) and into PEACE!!!
She has already mentioned some great changes in the layout of our home...which I had never considered. I'm just so eager to get this process going. The state of my home is just sooo over whelming I can't stand it.
I went shopping with my mom to get a sewing pattern for Jack's Costume and fabric. Man I'm picky....I just had the greatest costume ever when I was little (okay just alittle built up in my mind) of a clown costume...and I want that for him. First off there aren't really any clown costumes at Target and walmart, etc. all pretty much characters and I'm not into that. And how awesome is it that Grandma and Mommy are making his costume???? I always wanted to be one of those moms LOL. I want to make it to have a bit of room in it but still small enough for another child. I almost bought a pattern yesterday but it got wet so no go on that one...plus it wasn't as poofy as I was looking for. And what do you know looking online today I've found a vintage 1949 pattern that looks exactly like what I had as a child soooo....I'm gonna order it and then start looking for the perfect fabric!!! I know I'm cutting it close...I hope they can send me the pattern ASAP!!
So after that I had a dentist appointment to get my bridge repaired and also my teeth cleaned. (Don't ask how long it had been since I had my teeth cleaned) It felt great! I've also looked into getting dental implants rather than bridges that need to be re-cemented b/c of loose teeth around them.
I will be making an appointment to see an oral surgeon. I sure hope my insurance will pay b/c it is NOT cheap about 5K per tooth and I have 2!!! I'm also looking to have my teeth whitened and the bottoms straightened and whitened.
The 2007-2008 Ministry Theme is Our Power for Abundant Living...it is also my Extreme Makeover year. This year I am changing my habits, my physical appearance and health, I'm changing my whole lifestyle. I'm energized, excited, and eager to be my best for God, myself, and my family!!! WATCH OUT.....Liz 2.0 coming soon!!!!
Love ya!
What a great meeting! I thought I'd review alittle bit about the sharing that Rev. Royal shared with us at the Word in Business Breakfast this past Saturday.
The title of the teaching was "The Needful Thing". One of the main points that she made was what is the needful thing at each moment in your life. That is a decision we need to make constantly. If the needful thing is to prepare your home for fellowship then checking your email or starting a work project is not what you should be doing. That's how we become over whelmed and scattered when we don't focus and ask ourselves what the needful thing is.
Another point that I took away was priorities!! This falls in line with the needful thing. This was a teaching that healed my heart and energized me. I have been feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and scattered with things lately. And I know what my problem is but didn't want to really do anything about it. I haven't been in The Word. I had been doing a little but not ENOUGH. I was/am limiting God. Where are my priorities??? Am I putting things before God yes and that's where I need to change. She shared how she works so that she can serve (the household).
What a great way to look at things and how to put things in perspective in terms of priorities. I do try to serve the household and others but things get stressful in other areas...and getting my priorities straight will give me more open doors.
Anyway this falls inline with what I'm trying to do with my life this year. I really am endeavoring to live a simple and decluttered (mentally & physically) life. Hmm...think God can help with that??? YES!!!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow the organizer is coming over to assess the office...tomorrow night is my STS video night with dh...I'm anticipating a productive day!
