"What If" and "Yeah But" Friday

We have officially entered the time of year where I have no idea what to wear.  I mean 30 in the morning and 70 by the time I get off work.  I can't tell you how much time I've spent this week standing in front of my closet wondering what I should wear.  I guess I just don't have to much of the in between stuff.  I go through this every year you would think I would buy a few more of that kinda of thing.  All of this led me to think...

*What if my closet knew what the weather was going to be for the day and when I got out of the shower it had picked the perfect outfit out and had it hanging nicely on the door.  (If your like me I try to figure out what I'm going to wear while I'm in the shower).

Yeah but what if it picked something I didn't feel like wearing that day.  I have those days every once in a while where I go through 3-4 outfits before I finally decide on something.  (Dustin hates it when I do it )

*What if I was the weather lady? That would be funny!

Yeah but how do they know where to point when the screen behind them is green.  I have always wondered that especially when they point to different parts of Tennessee and say what the temp. is.  Who knows where I would be pointing.

I hope everyone has a wonderfully Halloween!

Gosh I sure do miss the Trick or Treating days.  I loved coming home and my brother and I would dump our bags out on the floor and start trading our candy with each other.  We would spend forever trading, I'm sure mom loved it.  Now I have learned enjoying handing out the candy to the cute little kids that come to our door.

"What If" and "Yeah But" Friday

Yes I know it's Monday but I was a little out last Friday.  I have had that sinus thing that it seems like everyone has right now.  I sat around and did noting all day on Friday and loved it.  I got some much needed rest.  Actually this entire weekend has been really relaxing and I have loved every min. of it.

A couple things I have thought about over the past couple weeks....

*What if it would have been 21 guys that went to Gatlinburg and found Bed Bugs all in their Beds? Would they have stayed and just slept on top of the sheets?

Yeah but just because it was a bunch of girls doesn't mean we were over exaggerating because the maintenance man even said it was one of the grosses things he has ever seen.  I personally think any kind of bug that can suck your blood is pretty nasty and would not want to sleep with them.

*What if we went back to the day when we didn't have cell phones? Would we still be as busy?

Yeah but then I think about the times they come in so handy and how I am glad to have one just incase of an emergancy.  I wish they were only there to be used as an emergancy.  For my husband it can only ring during work hours :)

*What if I could just wear my PJs all the time?

Yeah but then I think after a few weeks I would get tired of them.  Sometimes you just need to dress up and feel good about yourself.  I just don't thinks PJs will do the trick.
I hope everyone has a great Monday.  If only we were really reading this on a real Friday!!!

When your Supervisor is on Vacation!

This week my supervisor has been on vacation in Disney World and I am sure him and Lauren are having a great time.  They deserve it!  Some of you may like it when your supervisor is out of town but I beg to differ.  I think it is a good reminder though of really how much you depend on them when you have no idea how to answer someones question, how many times I am sure he is asked "can you update this", or just to double check and make sure I am setting stuff up right.  He really is a great supervisor and married an awesome girl! I do have to say overall the week has been good.  It has been super busy, hence I haven't updated my blog since last Friday but busy is good.  Today is already Thursday and I am off tomorrow!  I love my job and the people that I work with are so great.  I think this week they have kinda laughed at me about some things but that's OK because I was laughing too.  Well I better get back now, lots to finish up before the weekend.

"What If" and "Yeah But" Friday

I have to say I have been thinking a lot about the economy or what I know about it, where it's heading, and how it will effect us and our children and on down the road.

I've thought.....

*What if everyone would just stop wanting more and more stuff and were happy with what God has blessed them with?  Really it's not like we deserve any of it.

Yeah but we know that will never happen.  Everyone is always wanting something bigger and better then everyone else. Hints the housing market.

*What if we were still living in the time where everything looked the same, everyone dressed the same, and when you drove out of your neighborhood or down the road for that matter everyone waved and said hello?

Yeah but I think I would get a little board. If everything was always the same and if I was wearing an outfit and every other lady had on the same thing, I wouldn't be able to say "you look cute".  I need a little verity in my life.  About waving that would be nice, but I think this day in age there would be that someone that would take affiance to it.

*What if our economy wasn't going though this right now? What would the election be like and what would the candidates talk the most about?

Yeah but would I be as interested as I am to hear what they have to say and form my own opinion about who I am going to vote for.  I know the last election I might have seen a few min. of the debates here and there but not really enough to know what each one "said" they were going to do.  I have to say I am more interested this year.  Maybe because I am older and am effected more by the decision that are being made.

I am not much into all the politic stuff and honestly I don't understand a lot of it but am really trying to learn what I can. I do know that I serve a God that is all powerful and all knowing, what a peaceful feeling.  "What If" everyone just put there hope and faith in him? One of my friends had this quote on her Blog by Derek Webb - “In God we trust…for more than just the value of our dollar bills.”  I think that says it all.

Out to Lunch

I have always been the kid that took their lunch.  I never really liked the cafeteria food in school so I preferred it.  Even when I would lifeguard in the summers I would pack my lunch every morning.  When I left for college I had the meal plan which wasn't so bad since you had the options of eating in the grill (Subway, Taco Bell, and a Pizza Place).  As I got on into my freshman year I began to notice the meal plan wasn't so healthy, if you know what I mean. Starting my sophomore year no more meal plan and back to eating lunch in my room.  Basically I never eat out for lunch, 1. It gets expensive and 2. It's really unhealthy. Here lately though I have just been sick of my lunches and sick of getting hungry so soon after I eat. Granted I do try and take an afternoon snack if we have something at the house.

My normal lunch consists of a sandwich, (ham and cheese most of the time) chips, and applesauce. I really do like sandwiches but I think I am finally just burnt out and need a break.  Another thing is I try to wait until 11:30 to eat but I'm starving by 11:00.  Since I eat so early I am ready for dinner by 4:30.  It's so frustrating!

What is your lunch like? Do you eat out or take your lunch every day?  If you pack your lunch what do you pack and what are some good snacks that hold you over?

"What If" and "Yeah But" Friday

Do you ever think "What If" this could be like this and then think in the same moment "Yeah But" this is why it isn't. I catch myself doing that a lot so I thought every Friday I would share some of them with you.

*What if I could be like the Jetsons and in the morning my bed would lift me out and all I had to do is stand there and not do a thing?

Yeah but I might not be ready to get up and just want to wait "one more min." I think it might make me a little grumpy to get dumped out of my bed everyday.

*What if I never had to work out but could be in the best shape ever?

Yeah but I would probably still have that feeling like I want to go work out just because you feel so great when your done.

*What if everyone was bald and I never had to dry and fix my hair?

Yeah but then I would just want hair back when it got cold outside. Plus I think I have a bumpy head.

*What if I never had to clean the house again?

Yeah but nothing I would LOVE IT!! But really I like to clean my house a certain way and I think if someone else did it there would still be things (bathrooms) that I would want to go back and clean myself.

I love thinking about these things because I realize that even though it sounds good at the moment in all reality if it ever happened we would always think well "What If" it was this way.  We are here for a purpose so really who cares about the small things.  So who cares if I never clean my house. Me I'm sure, but really I just hate cleaning.

Do you guys ever think like this? What are some of the thing you think about?

Why Blog?

OK OK so I started a blog.  I guess I am like a lot of people when I thought about starting a blog I didn't know what I would talk about.  We don't have kids yet or immediate family that live in another state but as I began reading many of my friends blogs I realized that is not all blogging has to consist of.  This will be a fun way to share all the places God is taking me on my walk with him and I can't wait to share it with all of you.
