After an amazing trip to Florida, I am back home again. It was so great to see T, J, and the new baby! He is such a sweet and cute baby, you wouldn’t believe it! I was expecting loud crying and nonstop drama, but he was so good. He only cries when he really needs something, and other than that, he is mostly asleep. Getting back into my routine is never easy after a trip like that. I had a runny nose on Tuesday night when I got home, so G gave me two benadryl to help me sleep and…
In 20 minutes I will head to the airport and be on my way to see T! I can’t wait! My only concern right now is how heavy my bag is. Did you know that airlines are now charging a baggage fee per bag each way?? For me to check one bag that is less than 50 pounds, it will cost me $15 each way. A second bag would cost an additional $25 each way. A third bag, were I going somewhere on a really long vacation or had a big family, would cost $100 additional each way. Does that…
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…
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…
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…
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…
