ICE STORM 2007

Here are some pictures from the ice storm last Sunday. It started early Sunday and lasted until Monday. During the night Sunday the trees breaking off kept waking us up. It is crazy to see a tree that has been standing for years suddenly become weakened by the ice and break. It wasn't just flimsly limbs that broke but I saw some very large trees split down the middle. Here are a few pictures I took. It is really hard to explain the craziness this caused. There were roads blocked by fallen trees, cars damaged, houses damaged. The first few days it was very eery. It looked like we had a tornado come through.

These are trees behind our house.








Ice on our house.




Trees down in my MIL's neighborhood.






Down powerlines by my mil's house


This is blocking a road.

WINTER ICE STORM

It has been a crazy few days around here. The town I live in is completely without power. There are so many trees down in the streets and roads are blocked. It is crazy right now. Please keep us in your prayers. They said we could be with out power for 7-10 days. Driving last night to my MIL's was difficult. Trees all in the streets, power lines are down. It makes driving very difficult. I am at work right now. Thankfully there is power here. I pray they are able to restore power to everyone soon. I hope to be able to post pictures soon.

The Golden Compass- Kids and parents beware!!

Pass this on to everyone you know
This is a warning about an upcoming movie for children in December.It is called The Golden Compass and it stars Nicole Kidman. They are going to advertise it as a normal children's movie but in the end it is trying to teach children that there is no God. It is based off of a trilogy of children's books and the author is an atheist. They evidently do some strange things in the movie and at the very end a girl and boy are supposed to be depicting Adam and Eve and then they kill God. They are trying to be very mild about it through the movie until the end so a lot of parents won't even know that it is coming so I wanted to pass the information on to you before you decide to take your children to see this movie. Also, it will be promoting his books so you may want to become familiar with the authors name and the books that he writes!

If you want to read more info about it the website is:http://snopes.com/politics/religion/compass.asp I know that I was astonished that someone would make a movie like this and especially directed towards children!! I just wanted to pass the info along to you so you could warn your friends with children as well!

This message came from Steve.

Why oh Why?

I know not all women do this but some do. I am one of them and I for the life of me can't come up with a reasonable explanation as to why I do it. Why do I compare myself to other women. And I am not talking about famous women. Regular women I see. I just realized I did it this morning at the gym. I was at the gym this morning getting ready when I noticed another lady in there. I had not seen her before. She said she was on the treadmill but I don't remember seeing her on a treadmill. She had on a pair of black tight fitting pants. Not so tight it's nasty but they fit her good. It made her butt look round. Not too big but not small. Why did I think man I wish I had a butt like that. I don't really have a butt. I mean not one that fits good in pants. Then again I don't have large breasts and wish they were some what larger. So when I see women with larger breast I again compare myself. Or if I see someone with a cute hair cut I think man I wish my hair looked like that. I feel like I should not have this issue. I should be just fine with who I am and the way I look yet I always compare myself to others. Why am I still insecure. I was insecure in high school when I could not get a boyfriend but now that I am happily married why am I insecure? I am going to have to pray about this. I don't like it and I don't want to keep comparing myself to others. What about you do you compare yourself to others?

Sooo Tired!!!!!!!!!!

I started school in late August. I only have 2 classes. Intermediate Accting I and Business Statistics and Calculus. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO CALCULUS!! I am serious. I need help. I have not had any type of algebra in 10 years and I am lost. I have my first test in it on Wednesday so we will see how that goes.

I work 40-45 hrs a week, I go to school everyday, I have homework everyday (including weekends), and we are trying to get more customers for our cleaning business we do on the side. We currently clean a couple of houses every other week and we just go a house to clean from a builder. It was just built and he needs it cleaned before the new owners move into it. Oh I also work out 3 times a week before work. I get up at 4 on those days.

I don't know how your working mothers do it. Thank goodness I don't have kids. I don't think I could do this if I did. Please keep me in your prayers, especially with my school. Both classes are hard and I am tired....

Anyway OU an OSU both won this weekend. Yea! I love football.

Hope you all have a great week.


I miss my baby so much!!! I love you SIXER!
(read below to see why I miss him)

Birthday
Monday was my birthday. However, my husband threw a surprise party for me at Chelino's on Saturday night. I have to say my husband is wonderful. (he is wonderful for more than the party) He managed to get my mother, sister, bil and niece and nephews down here. I have not seen them since @ Feb. It made me cry. Anyway here are a few pics from Sat night.
This is me standing in the back next to my niece in the blue, my mom, nephew and sister.


This is me with my bil and nephew.
This is me with my friends kid and my friends nieces.


This is me and my wonderful husband.

I had other friends there but I am not sure they would want there pictures posted on the net.
Not Easy
A couple of posts ago I mentioned that I had disobeyed GOD and had to suffer the consequences. It has been almost 3 months and it is still very hard to talk about. I know some that read this may judge me and think of me as a horrible person. Anyway I will just explain. Last June I made a decision to get Sixer and I felt in my spirit that it wasn't the right time for me to do that but I did it anyway. I did it out of selfishness. I always had a dog growing up and I really wanted a pug. Like I said I felt GOD telling me not to get him and I did it anyway. It has always been hard on me to leave him for hours while I went to work. I live to far away to go home at lunch and let him out so he stayed in his crate all day. That bothered me. Then we started a janitorial business and we clean after we got off our day job. Long story short we were leaving Sixer for over 14 hours a day with no bathroom breaks. We tried leaving him in the laundry room. We came home and he had scratched 2 holes in the walls. This really bothered me. Not because he put the holes in the wall but I felt like he was being neglected. I love Sixer with all of my heart but I felt like I could not provide the proper care for him. After much prayer I did what GOD told me to do. I found Sixer a new home. He now stays with a retired grandmother that is home all day and babysits her grandson. He loves children and now he gets to roam around all day and play. I will probably never see him again and that breaks my heart. But I did make sure he has a good safe home with lots of time to roam and play. Since I disobeyed GOD and got him I also had to give him up. Maybe one day I will be home more where I can give the proper care and attention that is needed.

Here are pictures from my last day with Sixer. One of the saddest days of my life.

Atheist Vs. Al Sharpton

I just watched a debate between an atheist and Al Sharpton. I must say I am disappointed in Al Shartpon if he is the one to defend GOD. To me he was generalizing GOD to be not only GOD the father of JESUS but Allah God and the Hindu GOD and all the other GOD's that other religions have. I have to be honest I don't know much about Mr. Sharpton but if he was supposed to be representing GOD the Father of Jesus he didn't do that well. To me I think everyone has a right to believe in what ever they want but I as a believer in Jesus can not also be a believer in the other Gods. He also did not defend the Scriptures in the bible that the Atheist was talking about. Sharpton kept saying we are here to debate the existence of GOD not the bible but to me you have to defend the bible as well. At the end they took questions and one atheist said to Mr. Sharpton if you can answer this I may change back to having faith, If GOD created the earth and all things in it then who created GOD? My question to those who will respond is how would you answer this question?

It's been a while

To be honest I have not felt like writing on my blog lately. I have been doing a lot of self reflection and have stuff I want to write about but actually doing it is hard to do. I have made a very tuff decision. One I sought GOD about and would like to post about it but I feel I would be judged for it. I made a decision a while ago that I did not seek GOD about and had to pay the consequences for it. So after seeking GOD about what to do next I had to do something painful to me but I could not disobey GOD. When I have the courage to post about it I will. Just know that it was a very hard thing for me to do. I know some of you will understand while others will not. That is if anyone reads this blog.

It is raining very hard here today. Actually flooding some streets and making them non-passable. I walked out of the gym this morning and into water that came up to my ankles. My feet were soaked. I had on flip flops so when I got to work I had to put on my shoes for work. So much for tyring to look cute.

I am going to try to post a least once a week. Hey that's a lot for me!! Maybe I will find the courage to post about my decision. I will try to post some picks this weekend. Anywhoo it's Friday and I am soo ready for it to be 4:30 already but I am sure my day will pass slowly!!

Toe nails

If anyone at my office just heard the conversation I had on the phone they would probably think I didn't know how to groom myself or thought it was weird that I wanted someone to cut my toenails. I just placed a call and asked what this shops hours were and how much they charged to clip toenails. However it was a pet boutique and I was inquiring about getting Sixers toe nails clipped not mine. But if I would have overheard that conversation I would have thought that was weird.

SAYING GOODBYE

Today is a sad day in OKC. Tonight will be the last night the Hornets will be playing basketball in OKC. We have had the team for 2 yrs since Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. I remember that Monday watching in horror, shame and disgust that so many people were stranded on roof tops pleading for help. It's hard to believe it was as long ago as it was. It's hard to believe that happened in America. I thought we had it all together. We could weather any storm. I guess it proved we can't. We are vulnerable and weak. So was the system that was suppose to help these people. I remember them showing the dome where thousands of people were stranded and left hungry, thirsty and hot. I really hope they have a better system in place. But who knows. It looks like they might not because I just read an article about a $40m worth of FEMA food wasted. I hope they get it together.

I am glad we had the privilege to have the Hornets in our town for 2 seasons. Although I did not get to go to many games when I did it was a lot of fun. I had never experienced a professional basketball game before they came to town. There were so many people and you could truly feel the excitement in the air. I am glad we could host this team but more importantly I hope those that were hit by the hurricanes have found a permanent place to stay. I hope they never have to experience something like that again. I hope there lives are filled with joy and peace and they find comfort in GOD.

PUG HAIR

How do you fellow pug owners do it? I mean I have dog hair every where in my house. I have to vacuum several times a week, including my furniture. Is there a trick I a missing. Sixer isn't suppose to get on the furniture but sometimes he will jump up there and back down. Just by doing this it makes me have to vacuum the couch. How do you guys that let your pugs on the furniture keep it clean? Do you vacuum everyday? Am I missing something? HELP!!!!!!!

AMERICAN IDOL

Please tell me Sanjaya is going home now. Please tell me none of you voted for him. He really can't sing and something about him bothers me. I don't know what it is. I know that probably sounds me but I don't mean for it to. Anyway I am busy at work and I don't have my home computer back yet so the posts will be limited.

LONG TIME!!

It has been a while since I have posted. I have been busy and trying not to post at work but our computer is being fixed so I have to post from here at the moment. I have been reading blogs just not posting on mine.

It seems as if my husband and some of my friends think I am wierd. They don't understand why I have been taking pictures of the food I cook. They had never really even heard of a blog until I showed them mine. And then they thought I was even more crazy. So sorry to some of you out there they think you are crazy too. But it won't stop me I enjoy taking pictures and posting them altough by the lack of pictures on my blog you couldn't tell. My husband thought I was crazy of always taking pictures with him for no reason or when friends and family come over. Then the other day he said to me. We don't take enough pictures. I asked if he meant the professional pictures he said no just of us and friends. Then he told me he sees why I was talking all of those pictures.

I took my hubby to the airport today. He flew to Orlando for a cast convention. He will be back on Sunday. I was going to go but when we checked on plane tickets it was @ $500. Not going to pay that much for at ticket. It is spring break so that is why it was so high. I miss him already.

My mom is coming to see me today and spend the weekend. I don't know what we will do but we will think of something. And I will take pictures.

Well thats it for now. I hope to get my computer back soon so I can post pictures.

SMOKED SAUSAGE AND FRIED POTATOES

Join the Tasty Thursday recipes at The Pumkin Patch. Share some of your favorite dishes.

My sister told me about this meal. It really doesn't require a lot of ingredients but I think it is yummy.

1 pkg smoked sausage (any flavor you like)
1 green pepper
1 very small oinion
Potatoes (depends on the size of your family as to how many potatoes to use. Same for sausage you may need 2 pkg's smoked sausage.

I slice the smoked sausage so you get a lot of little round sausages. I cut up the pepper and oinion. I make them big slices incase you have someone that doesn't like them they can easily push them to the side of their plate. But they give a nice flavor to the meat. I put the sausage, pepper and oinion in a skillet to fry. I put a little veg oil in the pan and let it get really hot then I peel and slice my potatoes and put them in the skillet. I like my potatoes a little crispy. I put them in a different pan to fry and once it is all done I mix them together. I know the fried potatoe aren't the healthiest but sometimes you can splurge and it tastes so YUMMY!!!

PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES!!!!!!!!!

Here are some things we have been up to over the last couple of weeks. We are hooked on homemade pizza. It's so easy to make and so yummy!! We usually make it on the weekends but have leftovers. This is my pizza sausage, hamburger, and pepperoni.


This is my husbands pizza same meat as mine but he likes black olives and mushrooms on his.

I was going to make a sour cream angel food cake but I didn't have a bundt pan and it took too long to cook. So I found a chocolate cake recipe online and made the cream cheese frosting I was going to put on the angel food cake. This was moist and YUMMY!!! Chocolate cake is my fav.


My husband works for a Drs. office. One of the Docs we call DR. J gives us Hornets tickets so in return I sometimes make him a pan of brownies. So I tried to get creative and I put Dr. J on there with M&M's.


I thought Sixer was going to give me a kiss, instead he nibbled on my ear.


This is Monday night after I picked Sixer up from his neuter surgery. He was a little groggy that night but the next day he was back to himself.


This is my hubby (in the black shirt) he is training to put casts on. I went with him to work this past Saturday and he put a cast on me. That is the saw they use to take it off. I have never had a cast so when he got the saw out to take it off I started sweating a little. But he did great and it never even got close to my skin.

SURGERY

Keep Sixer in your prayers today. He is getting neutered. They are suppose to call me at 2pm and let me know how it went.

We had a really boring weekend. The only thing we did was go to my husbands job on Sat morning. He is traing to be a cast tech. So he put a cast on my arm. Then he had to cut it off. That is scary. I took pictures. I will have to post them tonight when I get home.

Update: The vet called and Sixer is doing fine. I will pick him up @ 5 after I get off of work. If anyone cares to share how the surgery went for there dog I would love to hear it. Or really how they acted afterwards. Thanks, Chandra

Shopping

I am not a big spender on clothes. I don't go clothes shopping much at all. I haven't bought anything in a really long time. I do like to look nice and dress nice I just keep my clothes for a really long time. I have sweaters I bought in 1997 in fact most of my sweaters are from back then. But I need some new clothes. Really bad. It's tough because we live pay check to pay check. We don't have any xtra money. I refuse to put stuff on credit cards because I can't pay it off in a reasonable amount of time. So I don't know what I am going to do. God will work something out.

It's suppose to be in the low 70's today. That is great. I am ready for Spring and Summer. Did you know daylight savings time has been moved from April to March 11? It will be daylight longer after I get off of work. Yeah!!

YUMMIE!!!!

On the weekends my husband likes to eat sweets so every weekend I make cookies. For him it is m&m and chocolate chip, for me its just chocolate chip cookies. Sixer always thinks he's going to get a taste but he never does. Poor boy chocolate is not good for you.







Pug owners I need your help. Right below Sixer's nose it is really pink almost like it is raw. He keeps eating snow and now he keeps licking and I am afraid it is raw and chapped. Has anyone had this problem before. I tried putting something on it but he just licks it off. This is what it looks like.

What a huge difference

My husband and I go to the gym in the a.m. before we go to work. There is a few people that go in the morning, not as much as after work but still a few. This past week I have really been noticing a difference between the men and the women. It has nothing to do with working out. It is about interactions. I have noticed that almost all of the men will say hi to each other every morning. Some have conversations with each other while they are working out but at the least they say hi. Women we hardly even acknowledge there are other women in the building. Isn't that crazy? I think so. I know I am shy and don't usually strike up a conversation but I try to say hi to the other women when making eye contact. Sometimes that's difficult because they ignore me. So it makes me not want to speak but I still say hi. Some women have there buddies there and they talk and work out. I would much rather say hi to the men working out because they say hi back and look at you in the face. Most of the men say hi to the women also and the women's reaction is a lot different when the men say hi to them. I guess it shouldn't surprise me but it does. Why do women act like that towards each other? And it's not just at the gym. Except for work it seems like that is how we are towards one another. Even women at church tend to do that. I pray that GOD helps me to be able to speak with my head up and not think those thoughts us women tend to think, why did she say hi to me, why is she wearing that, I can't believe she wore her hair like that all of those things are not important in life. We should learn to enjoy life more. It would make for such a better world.

CANCER

My grandfather on my mother's side was diagnosed with lung cancer this pas summer. He was not a smoker but lung cancer is the #1 killing cancer, more than breast, prostate and another one that I forget. My uncler (her brother) found out last week that he had Stage 1 lymph node cancer. He had cancer 30 years ago but fought it with chemo and was ok until now. But today they called my mom and said he also has Stage 4 bone marrow cancer that is not curable.

I will probably never understand why people get an illness or disease that kills them. Maybe GOD will tell me when I met him. Maybe, Maybe not. I just pray that before my grandfather or uncle or anyone accepts Jesus as there savior before they pass on. That is the most important thing we will ever do in our lives. We can have the best car, the nicest house, the perfect life or we can be homeless, have no job, no money, no family in either case accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior is still the most important part of our lives. I pray that my family does this. I pray that all of you do this. Not only accept him as LORD AND SAVIOR but live as he would have us to live.

My dad also passed away from cancer. I am curious how many of you have had a family member that has had cancer?

WEATHER

No disrespect to my Northern friends but I don't know how you do it. I do not like cold weather. We had a lot of sleet this past weekend. For 3 days that's all it did. Our lawn is white and looks like snow but it is sleet and it is slick. We don't get a lot of bad weather in Oklahoma, well winter weather that is. They had cleared the highways pretty good. But some of the main streets that we have to drive on are still bad. We go down 23rd st to get home. It is a 5 lane road usually. Now it is only 2 lanes. They cleared out one lane on each side and pushed all of the ice to the other lane making it impossible to use. I think they are doing a horrible job on these streets. They are also pushing this stuff into other roads that cross it and people are getting stuck. It is piled so high there cars, trucks and suv's can't go over it. I will be so glad when this melts but it looks like we may have more snow this weekend. Ugh go away!!!!

TIME

I have a lot of things on my mind. Things I want to do but time is not on my side. I don't know what to do. Let me start with my work and sleep habits. I have to go to bed at 9 pm because i get up at 4 am. If I go to bed any later I am miserable at work. We get up at 4 because we go to the gym in the morning before work. We only have one car. We have to be to work at 7:30 and get off at 4:30. We live 30 minutes from our job and we get home a little after 5. When we get home I have to cook something (if I have not prepared our meals on Sunday) and eat which can take 30 min to 1 hr. so by then it is 6. Now that we have Sixer (our dog) he needs attention. He is a puppy so I am hoping as he gets older he grows out of the stage he is in. I constantly have to watch him because he is always getting into something. If I try to read the bible he is constantly on my lap or bringing me a toy or trying to get my attention. I can't concentrate. I also would like to finish studying for my real estate license, work on a ministry newsletter, read the bible and pray. We are also talking about me going back to school in august to work on my accounting degree. I really feel like time is not on my side. On the weekends I have plenty of free time. But I feel like I need to work on this stuff during the week also. Another thing that bothers me is that I am constantly sleepy. When i start reading or if I try to study I can't concentrate because i am so tired. I try to get plenty of sleep, I eat decent and I work out so I feel like I try to be healthy but I can't figure out why I get tired all of the time. I have been to the Dr and they tested my blood and everything was fine. Please pray for me in that area. I don't know how some of you moms do what you do. I will start praying and asking GOD to guide me in what I need to do and how i can do it. I know he has the answers I just need to talk to him more. I trust him and he always comes through.
ICE STORM

It is freezing outside. Sleet is coming down and sticking to the roads. It's amazing that yesterday it was in the 60's and sunny. Today sleet and in the 20's. That's a 40 degree difference. I know for those that get this stuff on a regular basis it's no big deal but here it's the talk of the city. I think they even have names for it Ice Storm 2007. I kept hearing all these people talking about going to the grocery store yesterday and having to stand in line for an hour. And a lot of people were making fun of them. Not me cause I have to go today in this stuff. NOT FUN. They were smart to go yesterday. Anyway we are closing down at 12 so I am outta here.

Update: We went to the grocery store @ 12pm and they were out of hamburger meat. How do you run out of hamburger meat at a grocery store? There were a lot of empty shelves. My husband and I were talking about how people were buying up stuff like they were going to stuck in there house for two weeks. This is a 2 day ice storm. By Monday everything will be back to normal. I guess everyone needed groceries for the weekend. By the way we go to the grocery store every Friday. We didn't just go because of the ice.

SIXER IS NOT SLEEPING

Sixer is waking up at 11:30 or 12 at night and not wanting to go back to sleep. We get up at 4 a.m. This is not good. Does anyone know if we have him neutered will that change his sleeping/calmness? He is hyper all the time right now. He is 8 months old. I need some advice. My vets office is not very helpful.

I haven't posted any pictures of Sixer lately. He has gotten so big. My how time goes by so fast.




This is Lady, our friends dog. Sixer likes her but she detests him. They also have a cat named Nemo. He hates Sixer also. My poor baby has no friends.







Sixer loved the snow we had in November. It is suppose to snow here again this weekend. We will see. We usually have 1 snow per winter sometimes 2 so if it does snow it will be the 2nd time.





My husband has come to love Sixer. At first he was hesitant to agree on having an inside dog. He wasn't to fond of the idea but now he loves Sixer. He loves how Sixer is so excited to see us when we get home from work.





Sixer had just gotten a bath and needed to snuggle so he could get warm.






This is our friends baby the day he was born. His name is Jaylen. He is precious.




Ok enough pictures.
