Beautiful Friday. . .

Jean's and Cowboy Boots Day!

Hooray!

Making it. . .

thru the rain, hail, lightning and thunder. . .

still in love with all of God's Wonder!

Enjoy!!

Oh Boy!

A repeat...

At 4:27 a.m. 24 years ago today I gave birth to this...


but back then he was only 9 lbs. 10 1/2 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long.

He has grown to be a 6 foot plus, handsome, bright, artistically talented, witty man with a penchant for costumes that I don't quite always understand.

Well maybe on some level I do...


Phillip happy 24th birthday to you, it was so nice to hang out together on Saturday in Milwaukee...


p.s. - Stop by phillip's photography site and comment at the bottom of any of his photos to wish him birthday cheer...

or just send him money for beer!

A Strong Finish!

I had NO SPENDING success...

with the help of a couple of peeps (dinner bought for me) I confess!!

But from last Tuesday thru Sunday night. . .

money (not even a penny) left my bank account’s sight.

I even found a quarter on Tuesday in the parking lot. . .

so actually MORE money I have now got.

I organized kitchen cabinets and donated some food. . .

cleaned my office for a change into something frilly not for a dude!

Purged and filled up an entire garbage can with things I do not need. . .

after watching that Hoarders’ show and to heart taking heed!

The lesson was that I CAN do it and also how productive I CAN be…

when I spend most of my "free" time at home just Buddy Boy and me!!


Woo Wee Woo Wee

Still No Spending...

Day Three. . .

and now well into Day Four. . .



I will say my bank account I adore!

If you quietly agreed to join me on this no spending ride…

so far have you had success?

To yourself only do you need to confess!

Day Two…

has come and gone and I am still on track!

No money spent…

not one thin dime!!

Having a short-term-this-is-fun-time!

Day One...

of “No Spending” was a success!!

In addition to not spending any money. . .

I found a quarter in the parking lot!!

Now even more money I have got!

A 2012 Challenge...

I have compiled a list today of what I am going to strive towards during this new year.

Of the several things I have listed, I will share one and challenge you to try it too!

Next Tuesday thru Sunday - January 3rd thru the 8th - outside of putting gas into my car and paying household bills. . .

I will NOT BE SPENDING ANY MONEY.

NO purchased coffees/iced teas.

NO meals eaten out.

NO SPENDING ANY MONEY.

Praying that puts me in the right frame of mind as this new year begins so that several of my "issues" I will defeat!

That same challege are you willing to meet?
