Reduce Clothing

I figured the best time to do this task was to do it before I started going crazy shopping for the size I have dropped down to. So I spent the past two days in my spare time ( ha ha) cleaning, clearing, and making heaps of piles to be donated....as I post this I am just returning from the Good Will where I dropped off 7 garbage bags of clothing. With this done, NOW I can have FUN shopping and work to fill the closets up again........hee hee :)

Two More to Cross off :)

After a completely wonderful weekend with Dennis I can now cross off yet two more items from my list. This weekend Dennis and I met up in Laughlin to have fun. We did :) While there he took me to a bunch of cute resturants and that does finish that from my list. The drive out there was done by myself and do to traffic both directions it did take me 6 hours to get there. That indeed crosses off number 73.

Resturants : Valdos Iguana Mexican Food, Colianno's Italian Restaurant and while playing around on Route 66 we stopped at the Colorado Caverns and ate there in their resturant :)

If you have to go to the DMV do it all at once!

I received in the mail a notice that my new 'plates' had arrived and I could go to the DMV to pick them up. I could hardly wait, so I packed all the things I had been piling up together and headed down this morning. I had about 4 different things needed to be tended to at the DMV and the last aspect was to cross number 53 off the list! I did indeed get my picture redone. Now I use to have a horrible looking drivers license with a picture that didn't look like me....in 2 -4 weeks I will have a new drivers license with a horrible picture that DOES look like me! Scary huh! ;) I suppose after one sits inside of the DMV for as long as you have to its no wonder we look the way we do in our photos! (and to think we spend 20 bucks to have another horrible shot taken!)

Anyway...dont think Ill be posting a shot of the new license but here is a shot of my new plates for the convertible :)

Blessed and Highly Favored and a Dress Size Smaller!

Today I finished the last chapter of Blessed and Highly Favored and started on yet another great book. Blessed and Highly Favored (or flavored I keep stating :P) has been another hugely impacting book in my spirtual walk. Michelle has written a gem in this book. It makes you think, ponder and have to reread chapters over and over again. I kept saying (as I have in many of her books) YES THATS ME! One of the last chapters states this : "We tend to be suspicious of God because we see Him through the haze of what our own hearts are capable of. We change our minds. We feel stingy or generous on any given day depending on how others treat us. We are reserved with others based on past hurts and disappointments. But His ways are not our ways; His thoughts are not our thoughts. God keeps short accounts. He does not superimpose the past over the future. He is able to let bygones be bygones. So no matter what you have done, He is ready to start anew. He's ready to start blessing you all over again. Don't you just love that about Him?"

This book has blessed me in so many ways. Its recharged me in how I look at the world and how I look at God and makes me want to prepare myself TO BE Blessed! I highly recommend it to any woman struggling with her self worth, and who just needs to be reminded how much we can be and are blessed. Additionally I can stratch yet another off my list. I officially fit into a size smaller pair of pants.....scary thought having to buy a completely new wardrobe yet again.
