11 Year and counting

Today is mine and Daniel's 11 year anniversary.

No we haven't been married that long yet, but we have been together that long. Not sure but we always remember the date and year. Most people seem to forget over time but not us.

Course I guess it helps that we don't have that many dates to remember like that.

So here's to you babe and many more to come.

Love ya bunches of bunchies!!!!

Pre-Thanksgiving Stretch

OK by stretch I mean my stomach.

Good Lord did I eat today and it isn't even the official holiday yet. We had a food day at work, mostly because we knew we would be slow so when you are bored what else do you do but eat of course.

We decided on finger foods cause everybody knows that you eat turkey tomorrow so we didn't want to get burned out already. Well what I decided to bring needed to be warm so I convinced Daniel to get out of bed and make it and bring it to me. By the time he brought it to me it was about 45 minutes until I was to go to lunch and so needless to say I wasn't hungry for anything when I came home at lunch time.

When I got back to work I went and filled me up another plate, OK two, but one had just desserts on it. Well my eyes were already bigger than my stomach cause I didn't eat all of it, actually I had a slice of the "Better than Sex" cake (yeah that got the usual crude remarks from the guys) and it took my all afternoon to get the fullness feeling to go away just so I could scarf it down and then I was full again.

Oh yeah maybe it was because I was full but I think I will take sex over cake any day. It was good but not that good.

I got a cold

I am on day 2 of this cold that hit me in the middle of the night on Thursday/Friday. I was so excited about spending the day with Daniel on Friday, I never saw it coming. But needless to say I tried to not let it put a damper on our day together. We did go out but it just wasn't the same. Thanks honey for being supportive. Sorry I woke you up.

So now he is at work and I am here at home with my kleenexes recooping. I could really use a neck massage cause man it is tight. Any takers? Oh well I'll just keep working on it myself.

John 4:23-24 MSG

Not much happened today. Pretty much worked or at least made it look that way, hahahaha.

I hate to say it but I am looking forward to being off tomorrow. Don't like the fact that I don't get paid for it but hey on the flip side I get to spend it with Daniel, which rarely ever happens since we both work on each others days off. So it should be interesting to see what kind of trouble we will get into.

I did have a good scripture verse on my calendar today that I will share.

"It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration." John 4:23-24 MSG (My favorite part is what is in blue)

If you go back and read the whole chapter you will see that he is talking to the woman at the well. And for him to tell her to come and worship the Lord just as she was a lowly Samaritan woman who had had 5 husbands and was currently living with a man who was not her husband, trust me I am pretty sure that just rocked her world.

I know for myself that sometimes I wish that I could pray with power or even show some strong emotions like some of my fellow sisters in the Lord but that is just not me. Ok I will admit when I really let loose I can be real powerful but that is just me letting my guard down and letting the Holy Spirit work thru me. And you know what when that happens a lot of times it is when I am "simply and honestly" being myself before him and not trying to "look" good in front of others or being worried about what others might be thinking about what I am doing because I know that it is alright in the eyes of my Lord because he sees my heart and knows what I am trying to say even if I can't see to get the right words to say them.

Well anyways kind of thought that was really good when I read it and felt like it needed to be shared.

Well Daniel has started putting the lights on the house. He even got up on the roof all by himself to attach the lines along the roof. (He is afraid of heights)

I think the lights will look nice. Just wish we had one of those big fancy houses with the big front yard, but we can only work with what we got and hope for bigger next year.

Here is what we have so far for lights and Daniel is basically plugging everything in playing with his light display timer that plays music and makes the light dance with it. Now this is just a taste of whats to come.

OMG!!!!

Ok at this very moment I am listening to Christmas music. Why you ask because I think my husband is trying to get a rise out of me but oh no I will not let him get the best of me. He loves it when I freakout about this stuff so I am going to make him worry and not freak out.

Who am I kidding he really doesn't care one way or the other.

Its Official!!!

OK, it is officially the Christmas season here in Carthage. Today I watched the Electric Company put up the Christmas Garlands that hang over the roads as you enter town. I took a picture but it was really crappy so you will just have to trust me. Of course that was just to add to the wreath that are hanging on the lamp posts in Central Park which have been there since the middle of October.



Now I know it is a tradition now to see how early we can get the decorations up every year and to be honest I think Wal-Mart wins every year. (Sorry Linda) But come on folks that is why everybody is soooo ready for Christmas to be over with like weeks before it ever gets here.



Daniel is just as bad, this year we are in a competition with his parents to see who can have the most outrageous display and who can put it up first. He keeps threatening to have a tree up and decorated before Thanksgiving and I have put my foot down and said no way. I like to enjoy my holidays one at a time not all in together for three months.



But don't worry I will definitely keep you posted as to how things are coming along and let you know who wins the Crihfield/Griswold Christmas Decorating war. (Griswold because I keep calling us that from the movie.)

Happy Christgiving!!!!

After Thoughts

Ok so it has been two days since the announcement of the next President and I for one am not completely shocked. As much as I do wish it had been McCain the fact and history has now been set into motion and we must move with it or be left behind.

As an American I do feel proud in the fact that lots of people who had never voted before finally got out and excercised that right. My motto still stands though "If you didn't vote, than you can't complain" and you are part of the problem that this country is in today.

I do hope that maybe this has excited lots of people to continue to vote in the future.

I have no desire to complain about what I do not know but I do pray that everybody who voted for Mr. Obama is still happy to have voted for him in the future or we will be in a world of hurt.

But no matter who you voted for be it Obama, McCain, Nader, or who ever you might have decided to write in, now is the time to step up and pull together and become a united country. I believe our enemies are looking and waiting for us to crumble so they can come pick us apart and couquer what they can.

I personally do not have any hard feelings for Mr. Bush and do not regret one bit that I voted for him both times and would do it all over again if I needed too. This country's or even the world's problems did not start with him they started with ourselves, because we as Americans got greedy but of course we can't blame ourselves for our shortcomings we have to point the finger somewhere and he seems to be an easy target. But remember folks while one finger maybe pointing out 3 others are pointing in.

Halloween the day after

I hope everyone, if there is anyone who is reading this enjoyed their Halloween, especially since it was on a Friday and could party all night and sleep it off the next morning without any worries. And if you drank a few too many just say they were for Terra cause she was unable to go out and party.

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed spending time with my hubby but for crying out loud. Halloween was on a Friday and I didn't have to work the next day, ok Daniel did but that isn't the point.

Ok maybe it is since he is normally who I go out and party with.

Well here is to having to much to drink and being able to look as slutty as you want to for no reason.
