Another one....!

What heavenly weather we're having!!!
Porch Day!
Was sitting on the porch talking to Anna and this was my view. Had to get a picture....
Spring is really coming...soon... yippee!

Need to hurry and fold clothes so I can hit the porch with a good book!

Forget any other "inside" jobs! :)

Lapses of Laziness!

Lapses of laziness... you never know when it will strike!

So like that elusive tsetse fly....you know the one that comes and bites you when you are trying to get out of bed...making you so sleepy you can hardly move...

Lapses of laziness hit me at various times...laundry times too often...
the clothes make it to the dryer but sometimes stay there for days! Yikes!
Then Mike says I have one more pair of underwear or no clean socks and I say they're in the dryer!

Or mail...sometimes it piles up on the table for several days...

Or the accumulation of PJs in my bathroom...

I like to blame these lapses on that blasted tsetse fly! He makes me so tired!

Oh wait, didn't I just post earlier today about taking responsibility, growing up????
Maybe I should read that again!

"Oh my gosh!"

Oh my gosh! It's "See-How-Many- Posts- You- Can -Blog - Day!" on my calendar!!!
I think I'll go for the record!

Does your calendar say that? Well, actually mine doesn't really say that but it does say
"Miss the point of everything said to you day"!
Interesting calendar we have...compliments of some of our zany friends that we love!

Other special days are "Screaming Hard-Sell TV Commercials Appreciation Day" and "Run Your Mouth Mercilessly Day".

One of my favorite's..."Duct Tape Your Pants To Your Shirt Instead of Wearing A Belt Day"...
me , I'm the duct tape queen! Fixed our entire plumbing under the kitchen sink one time with duct tape! Hey! It worked for a while! :)

Well, since I have declared this to be "Post as many posts on your blog Day", I better get going!!!!

"Crab apples!" It didn't work!

Okay, it didn't work so just type in Proverbs 31 ministries....
Hopefully you can find the devotional for today!
It's really too good to miss and it's not just for us ladies!!!!!

Me again!!!

Words of Wisdom

Was reading this morning in the Message Bible in the book of Proverbs.
Here are some Words of wisdom that "grabbed" me......

"The road to life is a disciplined life,
ignore correction and you're lost for good." Prov. 10:17

"God is solid backing to a well-lived life,
but He calls into question a shabby performance." Prov. 10:29

"shabby performance", to me is doing something half-way...just enough to get by.
Oh, I've been guilty of this before...start something, don't finish, leave things undone...
or have a bad attitude about the task at hand and allow that to influence my performance.
Time to grow up! :)

What ever I do, I need to do my best "At it"!

"If you love learning, you love the discipline that goes with it-
how short-sighted to refuse correction." Prov. 12:1

It seems today that as people we don't want correction. We have an excuse for everything...
usually blaming others, our past, etc.
Time to grow up! Time to take responsibility for our actions!

I admit...correction doesn't usually make one "feel" good at the moment, but when you've received it and acted on it...wow!

Example for me....am on Day 5 of healthy eating to reduce weight and am doing well!!!
Have lost 2 & 1/2 pounds and have a "good attitude" !!! Wow! I'm growing up!!!! :)
