Blogging 'cause I want to...

Yes, another spur of the moment post. No real subject or any real meaning, just thought I would give you all an update on my room.

Suzanne wrote a comment asking what color I painted my shelf. So that gave me a great idea, I would give all of you an update on my bedroom. Thank you Suzanne!

So, my shelf is now painted white. I know, not so exciting but the other color paints around the house wouldn't match my light purple wall paper. But I think it will go okay with some dolls on the shelf and some knick knacks here and there. I also bought some small cubicles. They are a type of organizer from the dollar store. They are a great for holding all my DVD's. They are able to stack up on each other and it really looks nice.

Right this moment I have a bright colorful comforter on my bed but I am thinking I may put on this cherub comforter set I have. It may make my room look more "adultish" lol...Hopefully I will put pictures up soon. I may be getting my other computer soon so maybe, just maybe you will see some pictures really, really soon.

Well, if anyone has any more room ideas I still would like to read them.

10 cents good bargain huh?

At our local thrift store they had a sale today. Everything that had a certain color tag on it was 10 cents. I found a blazer with a top and a sweat shirt. My sister Carole found a lot of stuff.


I also found a Joshua Harris book (I kissed Dating Goodbye author) that wasn't ten cents but it was still a good price. I've never dated but I love his books. I was so excited!


When my dad came home today he brought me a shelf for my room! Again, I was so excited!! It's wood and needs a little TLC but it's going to be great. My brother and dad are working on it right now. Then it will be ready for me and my sister to paint. I just can't wait for it to be ready so I can put it in my room.


Oh, it's time for me to paint now. When my other PC is back up I will show pictures of my shelf and my re decorated bed room:)

The most wonderful time of the year!

Does anyone remember that Staples commercial that appeared around the end of the summer every year. Although, I haven't seen it for the last couple of years, I think.

Anyhow, the one where the parents are smiling and hopping up and down while they are pushing the shopping cart around, throwing school supplies in the cart while their two children are sulking in back of them. In the back round the song "It's the most wonderful time of the year" is playing.

As a student I would hate that commercial. I thought nothing could be more demeaning. The parents, happy that their children are leaving for school and when I saw that commercial I knew school was beginning soon. At the time school was not my favorite past time.

But now, that song is ringing in my ears and it's not that my brother and sister will be back in school. Number one they don't actually leave the house because they are home schooled and number two I like it when they have summer vacation. We get to hang out at all hours of the night and when they are back in school, I go solo again. Sad story, I know.

It's because I go back to the Christian school this Friday and I can't wait. I have become the "story teller" for the first and second graders and the kindergartners of the school. No, that does not mean I tell them false stories and they believe me. I read them a book every week at the end of the day. Sometimes I bring snacks with me or prizes and whenever I don't bring something "extra" they sure let me have it!! lol...

I think I will be bringing a book about the first day of school, this week. If I decide to bring a craft I may find some ideas in my handy, dandy Mailbox Magazine. I love that magazine, so many ideas.

I was asked last night if I would also be willing to work in the library while I am there. So cool, huh? Wow, I am so busy! lol...I can't wait!! Can you tell??

Okay I guess I will be ending for now.

"Mom, I love you!"

Every month she looks on the wall. She still can’t believe how long he has been gone. She marks that day on the small box and when no one is looking she lets her guard down…

“Mom, I love you.”…goes through her mind.

As tears fill her eyes and her memory goes wild. She can feel him in her arms. She can see him smile. Every feature, every move, every emotion, every mood, her little boy is still alive when she closes her eyes…

“Mom, I love you.” she can hear loud and clear

His wedding day flashes through her mind as his eyes were focused on his precious bride. The joy she saw when he said “Mom, here’s your grandson…” And then again, when he presented her with a granddaughter.

“Mom, I love you.” she clenches at those words

The disease was long and painful but his faith never wavered. Such an inspiration he was and still is to her and the ones who loved him.

“ Mom, I love you.” she cries at the thought

She stands taller and wipes her eyes and thanks God that her son is alive and waiting for her at those gates. One day she will see her son alive again and those words she longs to hear, she will.

“Mom, I love you.”

Sitting here on the couch.

The excitement, the anticipation, the awe you must be feeling by reading just my title. I am afraid I am being just a tad bit on the sarcastic side. I think I am allowed to do that when I am blogging at midnight. My eyes feel like lead as I try to scrape up something really interesting to blog about.

We were able to go to mid- week service tonight. Our Pastor came and picked us up. We then found out after service that he and his wife are lending us their car for the week, which is so sweet. Hopefully by the time we give them their car back we will have our own car again! I hope!!

I was so surprised that not one but two bloggers commented on my last post. lol...Very encouraging that people like even my most boring post!!lol... I do try!

Oh...I am going back to the christian school, not this Friday, but next. I can't wait. I am so excited between this and my day home, which will be starting soon. Since we now have a car, I plan on putting my brochures out.

I also am hoping we will be able to go shopping soon. I really want to go shopping!! lol

Alright, enough for now. Talk to you later!

Oh the woes of writer's block...

Oh man, please forgive me for not writing anything for a few days. I have just had nothing to blog about. If you have anything you would like me to blog about send me a suggestion. I won't promise you I will do it...lol...but you never know. I might.

So...lol....I can't think of anything!! This is horrible. We need a car so I can go shopping and tell you about all my bargains. Well, my day care will start soon so I will have plenty to chat about then and school will be starting...next week so I may have a story or two then.

I know you are enjoying this post. You are saying "Ginger this is the best blog you have written" lol...

I am sorry I am wordless. I guess I should end. Maybe tomorrow I will have something worth writing about.

Too late for blogging...but here's a thought...

Do a yard sale in a some what civilized neighborhood and you may earn a buck, or fifty!! Yes...me and Carole had a great time and sold a lot of things, we even earned some money for my younger brother selling some of his things. Me and Carole spilt the money and as soon as the car is fixed will be heading out to look for bedroom decor. I need to head to bed before I doze at my PC. But first I need to let you know I received my first issue of Mailbox magazine. It was a gift. If you haven't heard of it you should. It has great ideas and I can't wait to be able to use them when I have my day home. Oh, also, my Mimi ordered me Lori Wick's newest book, Cassidy. I received it in the mail this past Tuesday and love it. But, I haven't gotten to far I have been extremely busy. Okay, going to bed. Nightie night!! As my three year old nephew would say.
