Friday Five!
(Well at least doing this has made me blog on a weekly basis!)
The person who comes up with the questions didn't have time for new questions for this week and so I went back and picked a set of questions at random to answer :)
1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not?
Yes I'm organized. Not extremely, but I'm definitely organized more than most people.
2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly?
Yes I do. I have a calendar on my computer that I update almost daily and I also have a calendar in my notebook for work that I keep updated. I would forget everything if I didn't have these two things. And I constantly make "to do" lists for home and work.
3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now?
Organized--yes. Here is the stack for bills, here is the stack of things that need to be put away and here is a stack of things that haven't been gone through and here's a stack for my hubby to go through..etc you get the picture. (I may be organized, but I'm not very neat)
4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter?
My CDs are not alphabetized, but probably because they are just stacked on a shelf that is hard to see. My movies are all alphabetized. (which is no easy task when you have 3 kids under the age of 7 who really don't care that Care Bears starts with C and needs to go on the top shelf..lol)
5. What's the hardest thing you've ever had to organize?
Girl Scouts! I don't know why, but I'm having a hard time getting it together. I think it's because it's new and I really am lacking time lately to get it done.

Friday Five!
1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not?
NO! I don't like to shop for basically 2 reasons--1. I always find something that I really want to buy but don't have the money to get and then walk away frustrated and dissatisfied with our financial situation, which is silly! God has provided for all of our needs and even has seen fit to give us a bit extra! And 2. I get so tired of all the people. TOO many people in a small space and it's irritating.
2. What was the last thing you purchased?Today I bought Strawberry Twizzlers at Wal-Mart so I could write the check for over to get cash for lunch.
3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why?An actual store. I prefer to be able to actually touch my product and know what kind of condition it is in BEFORE I buy it.
4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it?
Never.
5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing? lol.. The dish drainer I bought this week. I needed a new one because my old plastic one broke and I was using towels. But I paid $15!!!!!!!!! for the new one I bought and I just think that is way too much, but I needed one and was tired of dealing with the wet towels etc.
Thanks for listening :) I would love to hear the answers to these questions from you, so feel free to put them on your website and leave me a link OR answer them in my comments!

Another Beautiful Day!
Two days in a row and maybe even a third of beautiful weather! Thank you God! :) It has been such a boost to my morale! I love the sun!
Deer Hunting
Josh (my hubby) went deer hunting today with his dad! I haven't heard anything from them yet. It was 5 am when he left this morning and it is now almost 2:30pm. But I think it's good news that I haven't heard from him..lol Hopefully he'll get himself a nice buck!
Friday Five
Ok, so I stole the idea off of my friend Brian's website (see Interesting Blogs), but I really liked it, so I'm gonna be a copy cat!
1. List five things you'd like to accomplish by the end of the year.
1. To begin viewing my overeating as a sin (which it is, but instead of viewing it that way, I view it as a bad habit)
2. To conquer my "laundry hole"..lol. Maybe not to always have it done up, but not to have mountains of laundry everytime I look in there.
3. To learn how to love my husband more effectively.
4. To have fun during the holidays!
5. To finish reading a series of books I've been working on.
(this one was hard..argh)
2. List five people you've lost contact with that you'd like to hear from again.
1. Jana Hacker (very good friend in high school, have spoken very little since I've gotten married & she went to college)
2. Samara Frame (my best friend in junior high and the beginning of high school, she and I lost touch when I moved away my junior year of high school)
3. Greg Caywood (a good friend in junior high and high school, last I heard he was in Texas in the military)
4. Delana Parker (good friend in high school, lost touch when we both got married. Heard her husband was in Iraq)
5. Amanda Park (good friend from church camp, lost touch with her when I got married..have no idea where she is. She was in the military at one point??)
3. List five things you'd like to learn how to do.
1. Hold my tongue. Not literally, just when I get frustrated or irritated, sometimes I can't bite back the words.
2. Think positively first. I always see the negative before I do the positive. I would really like to cultivate learning to look at the good.
3. RELAX! I am a pretty uptight person. I have learned a lot from my husband in the art of relaxing. Sure there are problems that need to be worked on, but if right now at this point in time you can't do anything about it.. LET IT GO AND RELAX!
4. I would like to learn to shoot a gun (I think). With all this talk of deer hunting, I'm very curious as to what shooting a gun would be like. My friend Angie talks about how awesome it is, I'm beginning to be curious!
5. Learn how to lovingly confront. I'm getting more bold in my confrontations, but they don't seem to be "in a loving way". (kind of goes along with >#1)
4. List five things you'd do if you won the lottery (no limit).
1. Give back to God.
2. Build a house (pay off the one I have first)
3. Invest in my husband's dream ( I won't share it because it's his dream and I'll let him vocalize it when he's ready)
4. Buy my hubby a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle.
5. (this may seem silly) Buy a new bed..a queen-sized one that has a canopy and made of mahogany wood!
5. List five things you do that help you relax.
1. I'm married, you figure this one out :)
2. Read
3. Talk with my husband
4. Play with my kids
5. Sit quietly (enjoy the silence..doesn't happen very often in my house!)
Gotta run, time to pick up my son from Preschool!
