Talk

I have never in my life heard anyone as compelling as Paige Benton Brown. I used to go listen to her when she lived in Charlottesville about 5 years ago. Today I found the link above to a very powerful sermon online. You absolutely HAVE to listen to her.........fast forward through the other parts, but listen to her full talk..........it'll set you straight.

Typical Weekend Nights...........

Cigars and all..........

Google it.

Go to Google and look up youtube something to believe in by Parachute.

This video has over 300,000 hits. These boys are from Charlottesville. The lead singer group up down the street and we spend our Christmas Eve's with his family..........dear friends....
Yesterday this video was posted on Facebook by a girl in Oklahoma that I went to High School with............how funny is that.

Try reading this Blog

I like reading blogs of people who are real, thoughtful and have faith.........I think this may be a good one....http://www.ordinarycourage.com/ I really like the name.

I do sleep!

Just so you know, I do sleep and am not posting at all hours of the night. Google blogger is set to Pacific time, so all the postings relate to that time..........not the Eastern time where I live.

The Closer, my favorite show.......snuck 5 new shows in and you can watch them online at TNT. Emily and I feel like we have been given a gift!

Girls Night

I had 5 friends over last night to sit by the fire and have chili and wine......These were 5 friends I never get to see anymore........everybody was so real and honest and we picked right up like we talk all the time............lots of laughter and sharing. They left at 1 am..........next time I'll do a slumber party.

January

I feel the need to hold on tight to January. It is supposed to be cold and quiet with nothing going on. I love to sleep with lots of blankets when it is cold............I love it when I have weeks on end with nothing planned and no outside of the norm responsibilities. I really want to just be left alone. Being left alone is rare with 3 kids and a husband. If you throw in this job I have, I have kids in trauma calling me all the time..........or getting kicked out of school, or getting mugged on Prospect.......(tough street)...........so this morning.....I have a huge fire in the fireplace......everybody is asleep..........and I am doing NOTHING! Love it. Sometimes it is hard to slow down, but I am working on it. I have been doing that 30 day shred.........on day 16........and I have to say...it is amazing, but it really wears me out. So this morning, no shred, no cleaning.............just sitting by the fireplace........and that is no work as I put in a self burning 4 hour log..........
