oh to live this...

"...the faith that surmounts the evidence and is able to warm itself at the fire of God's love, instead of having to steal love and self-acceptance from other sources, is actually the root of holiness..."

talk of foolish men."

Fat Lu







ok, I can't stop...I'm on a roll....our cat "Fat Lu" ...we call him that because his favorite pastime is eating...he is the Alpha Dog in our home. When we leave him on his "self feeder" and go on vacation...he eats 3x what he normally eats while we are home....oh, fat lu.






Well, this morning when I opened the blinds in the LR I saw that he had been locked out all nite on the sunporch...his favorite place to sleep during the day...he had been there since yesterday morning....when it is nice outside that door stays open all day then we close it up once the sun goes down and it gets too cool...guess we forgot to let him in...when I did, he didn't head for the door to go out to the bathroom...nope, he headed into the kitchen to have...of course, breakfast......THEN he went outside....oh, crazy Fat Lu! Gotta love him!

crazed


SHOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.....A.D.D. is in full swing today....

I was sitting at the table finishing up my Bible Study when I noticed the cords to the computer were all tangly so I got up to wind them up and put them back in their rightful places...upon closer inspection I could see all the "dust bunnies" on the floor where the cords had been so I went to the laundry room to get the "swiffer"..while in there I saw that the clothes in the washer were finished so I changed them to the dryer and realized I needed to add another load of "darks"...so I opened the washer, added the soap and then saw the light bulb box...remembering that my night stand lamp had gone out this am so I grabbed the light bulb, then I saw the "wheel cleaner" and remembered tomorrow we leave for Orlando for a vb tournament and it would be nice if the car was clean...so I grabbed that, the 'swiffer' and a 'swiffer sheet' and while walking carrying all 4 items I headed to get the rest of the 'darks' then decided wow...this is crazy I need to write this down so I put everything down to type on the blog.....zzzzit, zzzzzit, zzzzzit....I now hear the washer spinning without anything in it......argh...life and times of this Florida housewife....by the way, I'm still in my jammies and late getting to the Y so now I will have to rush because I also have a lunch date and I'm not sure I have the right directons so I need to look that up as well....in a minute.......because I just remembered taking a picture yesterday of my "uniform"...why do I love clothes sooooooooooooooooooooo much...but always default to a "uniform" when I am at home? I should stop buying "beautiful" clothes and just invest in alot of sweat pants and long sleeve t-shirts....maybe my family could see something new....Marc took me to lunch yesterday and I was dressed up...poor guy, nearly had a coronary...couldn't stop telling me how great I looked....guess the workout clothes are starting to wear on him...hahahaha... ok ok I'm going.........gotta go put on some workout clothes ahhhhhh hahahahhahahah.

a call to pray

borrowed this....a recent bumper sticker said, "PRAY FOR OBAMA, Psalm 109:8

which reads: "Let his years be few and brief, let others step forward to replace him".....

Yep, I will pray to that end!!

Christmas...
