I am a planner if there ever was one.  Let me explain.  I plan out to plan out what I need to plan out. Make sense?  Good!  This past week hasn't been the greatest but it hasn't ended with the sweetest surprises.  I've made the last few weeks all about my plans.  What I wanted for my week, what I needed to finish, what I had to get started on, and how it all worked into my all ready laid out schedule.  I was taken by surprise when I found out that none of my plans would fall into place as I expected them to.  You know those weird feelings you get when something big is going to happen, or an almost gut wrenching feeling that tugs at your heart?  That was my Tuesday.  Wednesday I found out my expected and planned for full time job would no longer be in my future plans.  I was heart broken and stressed.  Above all, I was hurt.  I soon let my tears do their time, and decided that it was meant to be, no matter how badly ...

Okay, I'm not much of a tights person unless they're going under a dress or a big sweater, and even then I prefer them to be black or gray or some shade of a neutral.  But, can we talk about how happy these  tights make me?  I've been into color more so than ever lately.

If you've been looking for your Spring Statement for 2012, this will surely make your point.  Head on over to Penny's Uptights  and get your pair, now! Something else that I have had my eye on for quite some time are these  hand blown glass bubble planters.  I am so in love with them especially ever since I'd decided to start a garden this Spring.  I ran across them while searching for a Mother's Day gift for my mom, and unfortunately fell in love with them.  They are very reasonably priced and would make the perfect Mother's Day gift for your mom, grandma, or ...

It's been nine days since I decided to take a small hiatus from Facebook, and it's been the most relaxing nine days I've had since I had become a Facebook member. My reasoning behind unplugging from the cyber world wasn't technical, it was spiritual. Last Sunday, I spent in my Bible, which is rare, I hate to admit. That day was filled with reading, organizing, writing, and listening(or trying to). And for that day, I can honestly say my mind wasn't consumed with daydreaming about whether my Facebook posts got likes, or if a friend emailed me back, or if someone accepted my friend request. Which is a great if not refreshing feeling to have. I made a vow that Sunday to take 21 days away from Facebook. Of course, I have still been streaming through Twitter feeds and Instagram, and keeping plugged into my favorite blogs, but just emptying my life of one thing that had consumed my thought process daily has been quite the experience. When I started this 21 days of being F...
