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.

When the wind blows...

The cradle didn't rock but the house sure did. Last night we had a major thunder storm. It looked like a typhoon out there. The sky was as blue as can be at nine at night. The wind was crazy and the trees swung in every direction.

By nine thirty we would see a flash of lightning and some emergency vehicle pass the house. This morning after we woke up we went outside to pick up huge limbs that had fallen off the trees.

Our shed has looked better. A branch must have fallen from a tree and landed on the shed's roof. It's now warped and the doorway is all broken and hanging needless to say I wouldn't recommend anyone standing near it right now, unless you want to loose an eye that is.

The storm lasted a long time and it wasn't till after midnight that it stopped all together.

My dad heard on the radio that a town near by had to be shut down during the storm. No one could come in and no one could go out. I guess we should be thankful we have no car right now or we might have been out during that awful storm.

Like I asked in my last post can you please continue to pray for the three things I mentioned the other night and one more. My older brother called the other night to let us know that his wife's cousin was found dead. He would've been twenty five next month. I ask you to pray for his family as they go through this ordeal.

Thank you again...I think it is so great that through the "blog sphere" we can meet fellow believers from different states and countries and we can lift each other up in prayer. People we never knew existed until we stumbled upon their "blog" and read a post, left a small comment and instantly connected.

It's about time. I know...

I have been very busy this week. I am happy to say, though, I actually have time and can concentrate on my blog right now. Well, my bedroom is starting to shape up... I still have a pile of books here and a big trash bag there. But it's coming together.

My sunburn is not as sore now. I am still red but I do not hear the word "lobster" coming out of my family's mouths as much. LOL...so that's good anyway. My sister's ears got the most burned they actually blistered and popped. Eww...I know, but that's life. She also is feeling better and can actually talk on the phone again.

Like I have mentioned before, this Saturday my sister and I will be doing another yard sale. My mother has already said she will bathe us in sun block before we leave. LOL...We still have a lot of things we haven't sold yet. Like dolls,toys and other odds and ends. Oh, and shoes...lol...lots of shoes! I got rid of so many and I still had to cram the rest under my bed. What can I say? I love shoes.


I am going to ask all my blogging friends to do something before I end this post. I have three things I would be so thankful if you prayed for. 1. An eighteen year old boy named Charlie who was diagnosed with brain cancer this past May. 2. Our car is down again. Please pray that the car will be fixed all the way or we will be able to get a new car some how. 3. An unspoken request.


Thank you so much for praying.

A yard sale is not worth it when...

Five hours outside, toasting in the sun and sixteen dollars to show for...and a really bad sun burn! (Guess we should of remembered the block!) Maybe next Saturday me and Carole will do a little better at the other yard sale we are going to be a part of.

What day is it, again?

The problem with the summer is you don't have to keep up with what day is what. You just let life handle it for you. Wednesday is our mid- week service but this week we had church at a church we associate with last night so we have no service tonight.

So, all day long I am thinking it's Thursday and it's only Wednesday. My confusion also may be stemmed by the fact that I was in my bed room mostly all day trying make sense of the mess.

I finally got everything cleared off my bed to find window cleaner had spilled all over my clean sheet! AGH!! I say. So, I took off the sheet and I am planning on putting an old sheet I had for years on with little teddy bears on it. Sounds real adult right?

Oh, man. Well, enough of my complaining. I am sure you want to hear about my great news right? Okay, here it goes. Last night at church, the pastor's wife asked me if I still want to work at the school one day a week! YAHOOO!!! I am so excited. I am still doing my day care but on Fridays my mom will help me out. So, I am really so happy! I can't wait to begin.

Well, I don't want to admit it but I have been on my handy dandy laptop for a long time now and I really should sign off and go back to my pig pen...I mean bed room. lol...So, I will update you on my slowly progressing bed room later on.

Welcome to My Chaos!

With boxes to the ceiling and shoes up to my ears, I am in a clutter night mare. Rearranging the room sounded like a great idea at the time but now it looks like more of a mess than I bargained for.

My sister Carole is putting everything we own in boxes for a big yard sale we are going to be a part of. And I still have too much stuff... not that I don't want more...lol...but that's a different blog for a different time. You may find that post under..."Shopping and how to cope"

My new bed which was Carole's old bed, is in the center of my room. It would look great if it was not covered with any and every doll I have ever owned, every stinking long necklace I bought at Penny's when they had a great sale. My shoes that I will not depart from (even if my mom said that I won't be able to wear them all even if I changed five times during the day.)

lol...So I have a lot to do. So does Carole. Right now she only has half of a bed...long story I really don't want to get into that.

So as I polish off the rest of my Pepsi in my mug and listen to Aaron and Carole play....uh I mean go through Aaron's GI Joe's for the yard sale. I think I really need to get off my PC and go back to my room. Although, I need to find something to wear tonight. We are having an early mid week service tonight at one of the churches we associate with.

With all that I guess I should end for now. Again I am open to any and all ideas about room decorating.
