*Back in November while we were in South Carolina, I did something I have wanted to do for years.  I got a 2nd piercing in my ears.  I love dangly earrings and I love posts and this way I can wear both.  Most people haven't even noticed because normally, my hair covers my ears.  But I notice and I really like it and I'm so glad I did something just for me.

*Anyway, since having it done, I've purchased quite a few inexpensive post earrings and I needed a way to keep them organized and quickly and easily accessible.  So Saturday I went to Hobby Lobby and purchased a couple squares of foam in the material department.  They are about an inch thick and are 14" x 14" squares.  They fit almost perfectly in the top drawer of my chest.  I stick the posts into the foam and it keeps them in place and the dangles just lay on top.  The backs to the earrings are in a plastic dish which keeps them all together.  Talk about easy and convenient.  I love it!  :)

Survivor:  The new season of Survivor started Wednesday night. Survivor Cagayan:  Brains, Brawn, Beauty.  Is anyone else watching? 

Have a great weekend, Everyone!

Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What is something you'll never forget about the age you are right now?
I don't know, I can't remember! 

Pinterest!

 2. What's a household chore you've never done? How have you managed that???
I have no idea. And I really don't want to know, because if I found out I haven't done something I should, then that means I may have to start doing it and I definitely do not want any more household chores.  ha

3. Does nature shape our personalities more than nurture? Explain?
That's a debate that I don't really have an answer for.   Since our girls are adopted, that is something we have talked about off and on over the years.  I think both probably shape us equally. I see signs of us in their personalities and they have since met some of their biological family and they say they see similarities there too. So as I said, I think it's both.

4. Friday (February 28th) is 'Something on a Stick Day'...funny because Zoanna over at A Penchant for Pens recently sent me an idea for a question relating to this topic. What's your favorite food eaten on a stick?
A Mickey Bar eaten while at Disney World.

My first ever Mickey Bar eaten in 2008

5. Which of your five senses do you treasure most, and why?
Sight, I think.  Because my mother is losing her sight and I know how hard that has been for her.  Although she is absolutely amazing.

6. What's the best music, theatre, or sporting venue you've been to? What made it great?
That Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH.  Why? Because it was filled to almost capacity with women who had come for a weekend of "Women of Faith."  Awesome!  Nothing quite like an arena full of women praising the Lord.

7. It's the last week of the month...in five words or less bid adieu to your February.
You have been rather disappointing!

Weekend Wrap-Up

We still have not celebrated our anniversary.  Hubby is not quite up to par yet.  But hopefully, next weekend.

Friday, I left work to go to the ATM and pick-up some lunch to eat at my desk.  While out, I heard my car make a funny clunking sound.  Scared me to death.  It wasn't the engine, but something under the vehicle.  I called hubby and he came to where I was and he could hear it (although, it wasn't making as much noise then, of course).  Anyway, he followed me to our mechanic's garage.  He checked it later in the afternoon and found out the sway bar had broken.  Don't exactly know what that is, but he ordered it and it should be fixed today or tomorrow.  We went home that evening and ordered in and just relaxed and watched a couple JAG episodes.

Saturday, we took Lucy to the vet to get her stitches out.  Everything was good and she is done there for a year.  Yay!!  Here's Lucy sleeping for the first time in the bed her grandma and grandpa gave her.

Later that day, we did our Saturday errands and then went home and took a nap.  That evening we went to mom and dad's and visited with the family.  All of us were there except my little brother and his family.  My cousin and his wife came too!  A good time was had by all.  I love talking and laughing with my family.

Sunday, we had 2 good services.  Hubby continued on Sunday morning with his series on forgiveness.  Sometimes that forgiveness is hard to put into practice, but it is a very necessary thing. 

Kerri and Charlie came to church Sunday night and then went to Frisch's with us for supper.  It's always a good thing to get to spend time with my daughter (and Charlie too) and catch up on their lives.

Well, that was my weekend in a nutshell!  Now tell me about yours.

Friday Fragments

This is the only fragment I can even begin to put together right now. Saw this on FB and thought it was pretty funny, especially if you love the movie "Frozen" by Disney. This is one of our local weather guys. Hope you enjoy!

Have a great weekend, Everyone!

Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What's the biggest change since your childhood in the way people think or act?
I think people are more into "what's in it for me".

2. The Olympic Biathlon involves cross country skiing broken up with either two or four rounds of target shooting. Which part of that would stress you out more? Or would you love them both equally?
Both would stress me since I've never done either.  But I think I'd like target shooting more.

3. February is National Canned Food Month...what is your most often purchased canned food item? What was in the last can you opened?
Soup and I just had chicken noodle soup the last two days as I've been sick and that is a go to staple since I was a child and we were sick.

4. What river (anywhere in the world) would you most like to cruise?
The Mississippi

5. It's the middle of the night and you can't sleep...what do you do? Count sheep? Toss and turn? Watch television? Or do you get up and do something productive?
I read.
6. How important is keeping your cool?
I think it's very important, but I'm not necessarily very good at it.  It's something the Lord and I are working on.

7. I've got white stuff on the brain so why not run with it? White lie, wave the white flag, white knuckle it, white wash a situation, or white as a sheet...which phrase could most recently apply to your own life in some way?
Maybe wave the white flag...see #6.  Sometimes I need to do this to keep my cool.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
I've been sick since Sunday night and Monday was a holiday off work.  No fair!  haha  Oh well, it's back to work today.  I'm not fully recovered, but getting there and now hubby has what I had. Let me tell you this.  That is no way to spend your 25th wedding anniversary.  Yep, yesterday, hubby and I were married 25 years.  It's been the best years of my life.  I love that man more and more every day.  So hopefully, by the weekend we'll both feel like going out and celebrating.  But sick or not, I'd rather spend my time with him than anyone I know.  

Happy Anniversary Sweetheart!
