Thankful for 3

Well It looks like I am behind two days…So Today Ill be thankful for 3. Day One, two and three.

Day One- The Lord whom loves me no matter what! He gives me the opportunity to live life in his world- although his kingdom is much more heavenly is graceful than this steadily declining world we live in now. But i wont get into that rant…ill just be thankful god is still in control. PEOPLE GOD is still in control and if more people would turn their trust over to him, he will take care of us.

Day 2- Looked like an early morning that took several days to prep. to unload, to set up. it looked like a crowed Mall in Abilene, Texas trying to share with others  how i will live life by my design. I have been given, by lord i believe the opportunity to help people,; in many different aspects of life! i can help by a quick smile, a friendship, a way out of their financial trouble, a way to get their youthful, healthy body back,,, even a way to give their kids the dream vacation that they have always wanted.  I have the opportunity to design the life i want for myself and my future family! 

Part two was spent with good friends and family while enjoying a cold beer and Stoney larue with my main man!

Day 3- Yes i finally said three. I lie here in my chair with the silent of the house, dogs outside. cuddled up in a blanket, My lovers new Sweatpants- while he sleeps, I sit here and think about life, My plans, God’s Plan. It's kind of difficult around the family right now. So many mixed emotions. I am thankful for the stable we have and will continue to build. I am thankful for life lessons and strong medicine for healing for some family members. I am planning to move forward in my business. I am checking the reports twice to make certain i can help my down line to the best of my ability. 

 

Blogtember: How has Social Media & Blogger Changed my life?

September 12,2013
Describe what ways blogger and Social Media have changed my life?

Good Morning Readers { I hope your having a blessed day}

Blogging and Social Media has become such (important) thing to me. Although sometimes I believe it's complete poison as well. 

{Importance} 
I have had the chance to learn a great deal of Leadership training over the past year since I got involved with AdvoCare. The use of social media and even blogger help me so much because my {Voice} is able to get out there without actually speaking. Yes it is me speaking when i write something on facebook, blogger, twitter and even on instagram through the photos I allow you to see. I use these forms of social media for the better. When I was younger and more {stupid} shall we say, I didn't always use my social media for the better. I used it as a way to hide behind what I was feeling without confronting the people I probably should have, this hurt me in many more ways than I could have ever imagined. Now I strive for myself, my business to only post things that will better myself and or any situation. I have found through writing, on here, my special personal notebook, or even when I use my actual voice to talk out loud about what is bothering me, I have almost become a better, more self improved version of myself. I have learned to lay many faults down or let them go once writing. It's almost as good as my morning and bedtime talks with the lord. Gives me a sense of * PEACE*. I had never considered blogging until I started meeting with my {Shrink} , just kidding, My Counselor was absolutely wonderful and helped me really dig into me. She taught me how to not second guess myself or my gut feelings, she taught me how to dig deep and work on the pieces of myself that were confused, damaged, broken and even some things that were completely shredded and needed complete repair. These things were caused by many different factors but they all needed to be fixed in order to become the person I was made by God to be. When I started blogging it was a release and I was also able to reach in and pull out my creative side and I love to be creative. So the blog got started a little over two years ago. Although I don't really have many followers, I don't really put it out there all that much! 

[What's your Poison]

I mentioned up above that I also believed that blogging and social media use can be poisonous...yes i believe it. The reason I honestly in my heart believe this to be true is because sometimes we put WAY too much information, our even ourselves out there for the whole world to see. Recently something has been lain upon my heart regarding young teenage girls whom think that showing all of them is the best answer. Several of my friends shared a link on Facebook and I couldn't help but sit in the bank drive through with people waiting on me, because this subject has been tugging at my heart strings. Mrs. Hall from the Given Breath Blog wrote about her family and the things girls post now days and how those images cannot ever be gotten back once posted out there for the whole world to see. This post is a must read. Thanks Mrs. Hall for giving me the {Voice} to reach out to some young girls I know. I 

• Second I believe we spend valuable work, family and quite God time spent on our social media. { OK so I am typing this while working} but all of my work for now is done. Families often argue about the amount of time spent on cell phones [surfing social media sites] whether it is parents griping at kids, or spouses complaining because all the {spouse} does is "Play on that phone. "Yes, I have heard that one countless times, not by my sweets but by my father grouching at my mother. We need to trying and concentrate on who is around us while playing on social media and that way we aren't upsetting loved ones who need our love and attention. I have some dear friends whom when they are at home together do not use social media, they instead focus on family and bonding time with their selves and children. Let's limit our social media time! It's important to others (I am working on this as we speak, now that I don't "live" alone anymore.
• Social Media has been known to ruin people's lives including mine ( or so I thought at the time.) The truth behind that is God was just showing me " He is not MR. RIGHT. " That has actually worked out better than ever planned. I have a splendid life now. I am a better me. & I LOVE IT. 

Social Media has definitely changed my life over the years for the good, the bad and even the ugly. 

Have a great day!

Oh Why Hello There

 

I have been trying to get my blog revamped because after all i am kind of still new to all the specifics. The templates, tags, pages, links, colors, fonts and even this new windows live writer that i learned about from one of my new favorite reads http://www.butlerpartyof3.com/. I stumbled across Butler Party of 2 ( at the time) on facebook where there was an article or blog about marriage. I am not married yet and really don't know when that will be. But, no matter what i always enjoy reading other couples point of views on things. When i do get married i want to have the best, strongest marriage with that person that i can. Once clicking around The Butler party of two blog i found out we had several more things in common. They are also an AdvoCare Family. They just so happen to be leadership in our wonderful company! I love reading about their product use and stories to go along with the products. Over all a great blog that i have defiantly booked marked and subscribed too for more recent reads. Go on over and check them out!

 

The next blog i stumbled upon somehow is http://storyofmylifetheblog.blogspot.com/. I am enjoying her blog as well. I am attaching her link and also her blogtember challenge that I , myself cannot wait to participate in!

 

Today has been a calm and easy day for me. 1 Mile run this morning, all my awesome AdvoCare products to jump start my day! A half day at work, delivery of some Watermelon Spark and gained a new customer. I always love gaining new people with new goals all of their own. One person at a time AdvoCare is changing lives. Home for  a healthy salad, a short nap, and to the feed store to get some dog feed for our sweet pooches! Wes got home around 6pm for a Fajita dinner and now some Rangers and Duck Dynasty while i work a little on my AdvoCare business things and while i wind down for the day while typing this! Tomorrow is the start of my ten day Herbal cleanse…Time to bust some weight off! Lots of water, fiber drink and nothing white for ten whole days! Oh an no sneaking of the Dr. Peppers.  Also i am getting some Christmas planning under the belt! Gifts will be good this year, but without luskeys i will need plan it better than normal! Happy Wednesday Everyone.

Renovation of the good ole’ blog!

I saw lonely tonight

 Tonight after cooking an amazing dinner…for myself I realized how much this really sucks. I know that we are supposed to be happy and proud of people when they accomplish things, get new jobs, etc.  but this really sucks. After spending one whole hour a week with my counselor I have really learned many things about myself. One being  that I have never  really relied on anyone else to actually be there for  me. I’m normally scared to rely on anyone being there. That doesn’t mean I don’t have a great support system. If you haven’t seen them you might check out the tab at the top of my blog THE PIECES TO MY PUZZLE (this page is currently undergoing some renovation) so please bare with me, some of my support system is in fact missing! I’m still redesigning it. But here is the deal. As great as a group I have standing behind me, tonight I feel like the one standing beside me is missing. I got to cook a fabulous dinner…for who? Myself…I am so proud of my handsome man, but I sure am missing him. Bottom line. I miss my best friend. My puppies are here but its just not the same. He is off  working his little booty off and I am very, very, so very proud of him and all he does for me. He is so busy so I don’t get to talk to him much…grrr. Well I guess I will stop whining and find something to do

Just PERFECT

WORN out WEDNESDAY!

Generally i plan out my blog weeks ahead of time, as did i this week. I was so excited about this weeks WEALTHY WEDNESDAY, but after certain circumstances last night and today. What your getting is well a different version. 

Last night i arrived home around 9 pm with lots of little Susie homemaker duties on the agenda...

• Laundry
• Tanning
• Cleaning Carpets
• sweeping 
• mopping floors 

ooooh & making my Sticky buns from yesterday's blog

But that definitely didn't happen. 

I started my oven & black smoke immediately filled my house. I automatically called Casey (in tears) and he headed home. I was pretty scared but the moment he yelled from the kitchen where our stove was on fire, to "Call 911" i panicked and pretty much began to hyperventilate. Steve and Casey were able to get the fire somewhat out pretty quickly. In 8 minutes from the time that i called 911 the fire trucks were here and in full force trying to figure out what had happened. Two hours later  we were in the house cleaning up the mess left behind. We moved the stove out last night and i tried to sleep. Awaking this morning to talk to my boss about what had happened and getting the insurance company on the phone. LONG day of cleaning and still kinda being in shock i managed to mow the yard and thank the lord that it wasnt as bad as it could have been.My family and friends and my babe there no matter what. Last night was terrible but could have been ten times worse. Thanking the LORD. 

Goodnight all.

Sticky Buns?

Sticky Bun Breakfast Ring

2 small tubes refrigerator buttermilk biscuits OR 1 tube Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 C. pancake syrup (any brand you like, I used Mrs. Buttersworth)
1/3 C. packed light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 C. chopped pecans, optional
1/4 C. chopped almonds, optional


Instructions:
Spray a fluted pan with non-stick spray. Combine the melted butter and syrup in a small bowl and set aside. In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts (if desired). Place about half of the syrup mixture in the bottom of the pan. Then sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top. Lay the biscuits on the bottom of the pan, overlapping edges (closely together) to form a ring. Top with remaining syrup and sugar mixtures. Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 1 minute in the pan, then invert onto a serving platter and enjoy!

Manic Monday

Even at the end of this manic Monday all I have to say is....

I love this guy!
& the rest doesn't matter!



-until next time...Miss Whit

Yes, you may call me the sappy type

Normally this post would be SUNDAY FUNDAy...but today is a little different.

Why? You ask!
Well it's Easter-a day no one should take for granted because if it weren't for our lord & savior we wouldn't be here! Jesus made the biggest sacrifice of all.
we spent our day with both families for lunch at Perinis & then for napping and the masters at my grandparents house! Hope everyone had a blessed day!

Now on to the rest of my post.

Casey will probably make fun of this pretty quick but oh we'll I'm sometimes a hopeless romantic! (majority, let's get real!) We have traveled back n forth to Abilene several times and seen families or couples out taking pictures In the bluebonnets! I have enjoyed watching and seeing all these beautiful pictures of everyone on Easter Sunday and especially in the bluebonnets! (so there you know my secret) I'm in love with photographs! They truly show the happiness on people's faces and in their heart. If I had the talent I would give anything to be a photographer! It's always been a huge dream of mine...(dream on right!) Also today I am thankful for the fact that so many of my beautiful friends are expecting children of their own & I can be apart of if all! As many of you know my love for children grows by the day!(once again. Yes I know. I'm getting soft.)

So since there are no bluebonnet pictures here a gorgeous one I happened upon! Happy Sunday all!

Hmm thoughtful/thankful Thursday?

Thoughtful/ thankful Thursday was designed for many reasons.!
1. Because I needed something that started with a "T" for Thursday
2. Thursday is that day in the week I kinda all dread. "it's not quite Friday yet" (but it can tease you all day long!) SKANK!
3. Thursday is my LONGEST day of the week! Well for a few more weeks! 6:30 am-8:30 I am BUSY! Therefore I sometimes forget to be "thoughtful" or "thankful"
4. Please try and kick this skanks ass today! "Thursday" I mean!
My thoughts or thankfuls
1. My honey replaced the dryer cord- I can wash clothes again!
---yes you ask why I'm excited?
-----> I cannot stand for dirty clothes to be consuming my very neat and tidy home.
2. I have a wonderful lord who shines upon me each day.
3. My friend Kkw and baby caden...oh and mister Bo may be buying a house close to us! Spoiling him :) I think I shall!
4. I have a fab job to get up and go to everyday
5. Dr peppers and Los Arcos even though babe thinks they are both unacceptable...
6. Babe has been home awhile this time & yes! I love it!
7. Great family & friends
8. My sweet puppies!!
Thoughts...

Just another manic Monday...

I had really planned to also blog on the two weekend days...simple Saturday and Sunday funday. But let's face it. That will probably never never never ever happen because I really just enjoy not knowing where my phone or computer is!

So for this manic Monday which I will end up incredibly grouchy before the end of if because I got ZERO sleep! Grrrr! Friday night we we absolutely lazy and I LOVED it!

Saturday was spent moving thing around from house to house. You. n safely say everything is still piled right where we left it! Normally this isn't like me. But I just didn't wanna do it. We went out for an interesting night and slept in on Sunday!

Lunch with my grandparents & a trip to lowes wore us out!! Haha so ps3 and me a nap! Perfect Sunday! Barbeque and then we watched a weird/adult/(a girl with the dragon tattoo) awkward but good movie.

Oh yes now we have actually made it to manic Monday. I'll just say a little prayer that I can make it through the day.

Have a great day.
