Dear Dub and Canary

Dear Dub and Canary:

OH, how I miss you both. I am ever so thankful for the time that we spent together. Although you both encouraged education, you so emphasized the importance of COMMON SENSE and JESUS, and for those two gifts, I am SO glad that you bestowed them on me. It's times like these that I still wish that you were here. Grandma, I so need a teacake right now to make everything just right; Granddad, I need an "Aunt Maude expletive-rant" from you to get me through this turmoil.

Please continue to have the Lord watch over me and bind the spirits that are attempting to destroy me.

Love,

Cee


PS: Now, Mom, go and get Daddy to read this, because I know that you WILL. :)

Monday's Musings

Howdy!

Here is the rundown of what's on MY mind:

* This story melted my heart. My mom is a hat freak, and I will admit that I can rrrock a hat: http://www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/20100616_Hatmaker_to_rights_leader_Height_is_still_going_strong_at_90.html
* Brandy needs to SET down. Did she not forget that she paraded her child's impending on MTV 8 years ago? http://celebritybabies.people.com/2010/06/21/brandy-keeps-daughter-out-of-the-spotlight/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+celebrity-babies+(Celebrity+Baby+Blog). That car accident must have REALLY messed up her memory.
* I pray that Kyron's stepmother did not kill him. The entire story is SAD.
* Indeed, Jesus is such a Friend. Of. MINE.
* It is so hot here in AZ.
* How much attention are you paying to things in your neighborhood/state? If you aren't, start doing so.

Peace.

The past few days

Greetings!

I hope that each of you remember to celebrate your father today.

How was your weekend? Did you do anything exciting? Today, my church group met at a member's home; we had a good time.

I have been so busy teaching summer school; the kids have been relatively decent. Indeed, this is a blessing. It's hard to believe that SS ends on Friday. NExt Sunday, I leave for Dallas, TX; I am attending a conference. My aim is to network, network, network. I do not want to leave AZ; my aim is to possibly meet some contacts so that I can do some consulting work. I am being prayerful about this.

Some things have transpired wthat fully reinforced the fact that God never abandons you. People an be so LOW DOWN; however, God always comes along and screams victory.

I thought that I would share these photos with you:

1.) Dinner @ Pappadeuxs (YYYYYYYYYYYYYUM!!!)
2.) Happy Hour @ Roy's
3.) 5th year in AZ anniversary dinner


Toodles! ;)

What's going on?

Howdy!

I'm back to work; currently, I am teaching summer school. Thus far, it's been a pleasant experience. I am thankful to the Almighty for allowing me to have this experience.

How was your weekend? This weekend, I relaxed. I had to go to the mall to finish purchasing my dad's Father's Day gift, and then I returned home and watched some movies. I also baked:

I am thankful for my gym membership. I only had one of these puppies, and trust me, that's hard.

Mine came out JUST as perfect as those found in these photos. I will upload and share a photo soon. They gave a new twist to Mountain Dew AND crescent rolls.

This afternoon, I am attending a gathering held by a dear friend from church. For this event, I made:

It's SO nice to make a pound cake where I do not have to sift my booty off.

Since a group that I facilitate (church) will not be meeting away from the church, I will have many opportunities to try my baking skills. I will be sure to share from week to week.

Love y'all!

I've Been One Scrappin' Fool

And, I've been enjoying EVERY. MINUTE. OF. IT.

I return to work on Monday for summer school; I am making scrapping/hanging out with friends a PRIORITY this summer since I don't do enough of this during the academic year.

Happy Friday!

What's going on?

Good morning!

It's been awhile. Kill me. How was your holiday? I grilled on Sunday in order to 100% chillax on Monday. I hope that each of you remember our vets and our fallen soldiers.

I haven't posted a series of pics in quite some time:

Pic of me and the man - - - let me keep you guessing. ;)
Pics of food on the grill
Pics of kids - - - McKenzie's pre K graduation

Here are some things on my mind (Since I didn't post on Monday):

* God is wonderful
* Close-minded individuals should be barred from having leadership positions in churches that contend that they are progressive
* I am scrapbooking with a VENGEANCE
* Summer school begins next week, and I am thankful that I was strong enough to fight for it.
* Hobby Lobby has some BEAUTIFUL items. I cannot BELIEVE that they have Christmas trees up/autumn decor available. WTH? The 4th hasn't even come and passed.
* This lil' cowgirl will be in Dallas, TX starting June 27th for a work-related conference. YEE HA!
* Al and Tipper Gore - - - I didn't see that one coming whatsoever. SAD

What's on your mind?

Peace
