Sweet Baby Jody!

I finally got to talk to my friend T yesterday! She is doing well and so is little Jody. I had seen some pictures on her sister’s blog, but I didn’t know that she had a bunch up on myspace until yesterday. These pics are so sweet!! Congratulations to the both of you, he is such a beautiful baby boy. I will be flying down there tomorrow to spend a week with her to help out in any way that I can. I have a feeling all I will want to do is hold this precious baby!! Anyway, if my…

New Attitude

Sometimes I feel as though I am constantly at war with my own attitude. I know what my attitude should be. I know what my attitude needs to be in order to find success and to be happy. But just because I know doesn’t necessarily mean that I can always have the right attitude. I was a mess when I first moved to NC. I was in love, and that made me very happy… but as for how I felt about myself… dismal. Over the past year and a half, I have worked really hard to get my act together…

I won!

Do you ever find yourself wondering if anyone actually wins those prizes from McDonald’s Monopoly and contests like that? Well, I always love to play the Monopoly game. I don’t know if it’s because I like the little game pieces, or if I just think it’s fun to collect stuff, but I always wondered if anyone really ever won anything. I wish that I could say I was a $1,000,000 winner, but if I was, I would probably be shopping right now instead of writing a blog. No, not the millions this time, but I did win a $50 Shell…

The Millions

I know that money can’t buy happiness. I know that there are more important things in life than material wealth. But here’s the thing. I already have found my happiness with G, and he will be there, money or no money. I don’t have to have material things to be happy, but is it so wrong to wish for some of those things that might make life more enjoyable or just a little bit easier? We saw a commercial the other day on TV for the Biltmore House. If you have never been there or never heard of it… it’s…

200th Post

Believe it or not, I have actually stuck with a blog long enough to have made it to my 200th post!! I realize this blog isn’t about anything in particular, but I have loved writing it every morning. It’s always good to have some kind of outlet where you don’t have to be afraid of what others will think, and you feel free to express yourself and your thoughts. For me, it has always been journals, but after I hit my mid-twenties, I found it harder to actually finish a journal that I had started. When I was younger, I…

Clean Carpets!

I have been talking about steam cleaning the carpets in our house for months now. We have two dogs, which in itself, makes carpets dirty. In addition, the carpets haven’t really been cleaned that thoroughly for many years. Sure, we vacuum and we spot clean, but we wanted to try steam cleaning. We went to the Harris Teeter around the corner and rented a Rug Doctor. They cost about $25 for 24 hours. Then, there were all these bottles of cleaner. Wanting our carpets to be super clean, we bought just about everything there was to buy, loaded up the…
