Planting, scones, and doing all the things!

TUESDAY!!!!!

Hi guys. Glad to have you back this week. I have been busy, so we have a lot to go over.

Since last weeks check-in I can report that I still have not found my iPod. Sad face. I'm sure you were keeping high hopes that I would come back with positive news; so sorry. No dice. Also, no one has offered to let me borrow/buy one! You are not very helpful readers. ...wait, come back. I'm sorry, you're the best. Don't go! Ok.

Here is what I have accomplished:




I made homemade strawberry scones. They were a little tangy as the strawberries weren't as ripe as I would have liked. Also, I put too many strawberries in (as if that is possible) and so they were more moist than normal. Edible nonetheless and fantastic. Don't complain, you didn't make them.

(like my dress? spring!)








 I planted spearmint, lemon balm, chocolate mint, and basil. This is a random spearmint sprig that was left behind. I don't use the chimenea so I thought maybe it would grow in there.
 Grandma Spaw's limestone planter. She always planted salmon geraniums in it. I have salmon geraniums in another pot, and filled this one with potato vine and that deep purple thing I like.
 "To plant a garden is to believe in the future"

He worked the field, and tilled the dirt. It is my turn to grow the bounty.

Sweet 100s, chocolate cherry, early girl, cucumbers, cantaloupe, yellow squash, zucchini, sweet banana peppers, bell peppers, jalapenos, and okra.

Co-gardening, year one.

DAD JOKE

 An insurance saleman ate half the bowl of peanuts on his clients' coffee table one evening during his presentation. He apologized for overindulging. They told him not to worry, they just like the chocolate off of them. .......uh

FITNESS SECTION
(fitness whole burger in my mouth)


 

 Squat challenge with 'Prell. We've know each other since our 20s, so let's keep our hineys looking like they did when we met.

No baggy butts. Squat till it's hot. Drop it like a squat. Earn the burn. Train the pain.




I really love when friends (or strangers) fall in love/hate with running. This guy here just started a few weeks ago, and already ran a 5k! I may have pressured him into signing up. Don't judge, he enjoyed it...I think...he got a medal! We both placed 3rd in our age groups. Very proud of him and super honored to be a part of his first race, first medal, and a new start in fitness! Frennnnnnz.

NICE THINGS

 Next thing to add to my project list. Isn't it fantastic? I know someone that dabbles in the lighting realm, so this may get done one day.













 I am that. I believe that. Keep telling me that. I'll never forget that.
Bowties and waist belts make for an uncomfortable visit after too much Easter dinner. FAKE SMILE EVERYONE!

Be lovely today.

A feeling on a Friday

Sometimes you just have to trust God and go with it. I'm so thankful for the opportunities I've gotten during my life, good and bad, that have shaped me into the chick that I am. I want to radiate the love of Christ through patience, understanding, and hospitality. I think helping and giving are in my bones. I get so excited when I know of an opportunity to lend a hand, lend a shoulder, lend a room, lend a car, whatever it may be. It's what Jesus did, and what He wants us to WANT to do. Oh, but my little mind gets in the way. Don't think for a second that it's easy to give out of lack. It may be true that the less fortunate give a higher percentage of themselves than those well-off, but, that doesn't mean that it is done without worry from time to time. I've tithed BIG amounts, and right before I do, I always worry about that time coming when I'll say "oh, if only I had held on to that money". My stomach knots and my heart races. Then I

Growing up, self-tanners, ...and doing all the things!!!!

Do you ever make lists of things you need to do? I don't mean things like stopping for gas, or buying a new nail polish. I mean BIG things. Grown up things. The kind of things that you have to do on your lunch break when the business is open. Things that require legal jargon, or measurements, or notaries. I've had a pretty overwhelming list for the past 4 months. I'm finally getting to the end of it, which feels good. Looking back however, I've noticed how much I ran from these tasks. Decisions that can change the course of your life need to be well thought out, and executed with importance. I took the time to research them, organize the plan, and then.....I postponed. I didn't delay because I didn't want to face them. I didn't delay because it caused an emotional downturn. I delayed simply because "I don't wanna!". I wanted my mom to do it, or my teacher, or my big sister. I don't wanna go talk to the mean man behind the desk. I don

Deep conversations with friends about the future Why do I do this to myself? I really think God puts this stuff on my heart so often because He is trying to get my attention. Why mine? I have no idea, and sometimes, I don't want to find out. How scary (and amazing, and scary) to think that He would want MY attention for anything. Gives me the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps. What do I do when I'm confused after talking to God for an hour? Consult my friend that is struggling to understand His plan too! God probably loves those conversations. I really mean that. I know He loves to see us talking about pleasing Him. But....we aren't so good at it. The good news is, He already knows that. It doesn't make it ok to just put Him on the back burner when we are unsure of our next move, but it does make it ok that we are imperfect. Whew! Recently we have been discussing where and upon what we should place our life focus. We, as humans, like to make plans for our futur
