Manic Monday
Do you ever talk to yourself out loud? What do you talk about? Not really, only when I'm really annoyed myself. Ha ha...usually when I do something stupid and I'm scolding myself.
What stresses you out? Hmmmm....Everything and nothing. Explain that! It totally depends on the day. Something that would roll off my shoulders one day has the complete potential to completely stress me out the next day. Usually depends on how much sleep I've had and how much overtime I am working.
What are your secret talents? Well if I tell you, they wouldn't be very secret now would they? ha ha....I really don't know. Many people don't know I can play the bagpipes or that I am a really good cook. I like to think I can sing...other people probably don't agree. ha ha

Then Sings My Soul Saturday - Amy Grant
I believe there is something really powerful about praying the different name of God. Because of that this song has always touched me, and will continue to be a favorite for a long time. I hope it blesses you as much as it has blessed me.
Want to see more? Visit Amy over at Signs, Miracles, and Wonders.

Friday Fragments
I am so excited to go see Twilight tonight!!! I cannot wait to see it, and I'm incredibly happy that hubby as graciously agreed to take me. Has anyone else seen it?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was online super late last night looking for ideas for my blog. I really want to start blogging more regularly again. If you have ideas I can steal...er...use...please let me know!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We just hired an amazing new house cleaner. I'm in heaven!!! She not only cleans, she organizes. Oh do I need her to do that. I feel like I walked into a strangers house, it looks so good and so different. If you know you live near me...let me know, and I'll hook you up. I would show you before and after pictures...but I'm WAY to embarrassed to do that. ha ha
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who has their Christmas decorations up?? I have really wanted to get my decorations up, but I've been restraining myself to wait until after Thanksgiving. Speaking of...once upon a time, I used to have my Christmas shopping DONE before Thanksgiving. What happened to me? How has Christmas snuck up so fast the past couple years, and WHY does no one warn me that it is coming??? LOL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Need Christmas ideas? I am starting to sell Body Shop at Home. Once I get a website up I'll link to it here. Talk to me if you want to host a party!!
