Be Still and Know...Then and Now

One of my friends posted this on their Facebook page and I thought it was just too funny!   To all you single ladies who are in such a hurry to get married, here's a quick piece of Biblical advice: Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz. While waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for ANY of his relatives: Brokeaz, Poaz, Lyinaz, Cheatinaz, Dumbaz, Cheapaz, Lockedupaz, Goodfornothinaz, Lazyaz, Drunkaz or Marriedaz and especially his third cousin Beatinyoaz . Please, wait on your Boaz & make sure he respects Yoaz!   :) R

  Y’all have to go try this!!! It’s good for a few giggles or even a down right belly laughs! Wanna know what you would look like as blond or with a starlet's hairstyle???? Go to Lifetime and check it out!     Blessings R

In a perfect world baring unforeseen appearances from lizards and my perimenapausal forgetfulness I would have had my socks about two weeks ago! After lunch with my sweet friend who you all love and read regularly. She stepped up and assumed the role of my trusty Wal-Mart guide. Skoots1mom took pity on me and my lack of a shopping gene. She guided me safely to the exact location of the socks I was looking for. AND…THEY…WERE…ON…SALE!   And for no reason what-so-ever I decided that while I was picking up the forgotten items from my previous shopping trip. Reference question #2 from my last Random Dozen I felt compelled to document the experience with my trusty cell phone camera. Now I will say that I did have to wait for several minutes pretending to decide what kind of dog food I wanted while the Wal-Mart employee at the end of the isle was cleaning up a spilled bag of kibble. Why? well so I could snap this picture and the only person who would think I had lost my ...

In what I can only guess is an effort to steam line manufacturing cost this latest trend with my favorite place Wal-Mart, could be hazardous for my health. Let’s just hope that I don’t make my morning smoothie with the fabric softener and pour the soy milk into my washing machine! Let’s just say that I have a love/hate relationship with this big box retailer. I love the saving but I hate going there. What’s up with this!!!!! Blessings Robin

Friday Fav Five #40 Joining in with Living to Tell the Story for Friday Fav Five today!!!!! #5: I will start with something Sweet. One of my favorite afternoon treats is a nice tall glass of ice coffee. It gives me just the pick me up I need to get the necessary boost or the rest of the afternoon. I recently picked this up at the grocery store... and have been adding a few shots into my afternoon coffee. It is a wonderful chocolaty caramel-isious treat. It hits the spot in a big way #4: Something Cheap I love a bargain!!!! My heart leaps with joy when I see this!!!! Anytime I can save a few pennies I am a happy camper #3: Friendship Yesterday I saw the foundations of a blossoming friendship. One of the DD friends from church came over for visit. I made myself as scares as I could as they played cards and munched on popcorn, laughed and chattered away! After a nice long visit, I looked at my DD and said “Now that’s what a friend looks like!” #2: My Great Blogging Pals This week for me w...

The other day as I was doing laundry (my favorite thing to do...NOT!) and as I was putting my socks away something caught my eye. One of these. I proceeded to dig though my sock drawer and low and behold I came up with not one but Two Three Four Five Six and then the latest pair which brings the grand total to seven ... Six pairs of fuzzy hospital socks with the rubber skid resistant treads on the bottom and one pair of something called an anti-embolism stocking. This pair of socks has an unusual opening at the bottom that exposes the pad of your foot. What’s up with that I am wondering? I thought to myself ‘Why do I keep them?’ I think in all the years and all the various medical procedures that have been preformed upon my person I have never once worn them outside of the hospital setting. I have a vague memory of being extremely desperate once during an especially cold spell. My sock drawer was woefully empty due to the fact that all my really nice warm fuzzy socks were in the wash...

Skoots1mom tagged me the other day and being the lazy individual that I am I am just now getting around to giving it a go. So here is installment #2 of 6 Random things about me. I had to go back and re-read my previous post because I could not remember the last 6 random thins I wrote down. All this randomness is stressing me out.   1. Breakfast is my favorite dinner. Give me plate of scrambled eggs and bacon or a stack of pancakes and I am a happy girl. 2. I have made four Locks of Love (pictures to follow in a later post) donations of 10” or more. 3. I have kept a journal since 1977. I have a large Rubbermaid container full of all my journals and from time to time I will revisit all the really embarrassing times in my life. 4. I prefer to eat an apple that has been cut up into slices, I will only eat an apple with my teeth if I absolutely have to, kinda weird I know! 5. I absolutely despise powdered coffee creamer. I will drink my coffee black if powdered creamer is the on...

Several days ago a sweet friend sent me an email with several Maxine cartoons attached. The older I get the more similar Maxine and I become.

Your Ice Cream Personality: You like to think of yourself as a fairly modest person. And it's true that you don't talk yourself up... but you're also pretty happy with who you are. You are incredibly cautious. You rather miss out on something than make a mistake. No one would ever call you wild... but they would call you responsible. You are a fairly open minded person with a wide range of tastes. You are quite accepting of unusual ideas and people. You tend to have a one track mind. You prefer not to multitask. You can be a big dramatic and over the top sometimes. You are bold in every way The Ice Cream Personality Test
