Out to Lunch, Out of Touch, Daydreaming, Escaping Reality: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of these terms could be used to describe my state of mind right now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My life is about to change, drastically, there will be some pain before the gain...and I cannot bring myself to grasp the full reality of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, bloggers, I am about to have much more time on my hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my mind I have this picture of being chic and slender, organized and creative, productive, focused and driven to learn new things, clean up my home, start new projects, UPDATE and Cultivate my blog!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">I have to admit, I've been gone for a long time...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">I wasn't very far, just over in Pinterest land, where I've been spending late nights, iphone data and sick days, daydreaming and trying to become more motivated.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

And at one point, I thought maybe I'd go check out why everyone is so excited...<br />
But then I realized that I don't get to see my family and friends that often and that's so much more valuable to me than some heavily discounted gadget that I could probably live without.<br />
If that's what you decided to do, I'm not judging, I just know I don't have the energy or desire to fight crowds for more stuff, especially when I'm in a grateful mode.<br />
<br />
I'm so grateful for the things I have and have not. Thankful for this blog as a place to vent, dream, reminisce and share. Grateful for all of you too.<br />
<br />
Praying that you are enjoying all the best of the season, no matter what you do!<br />
<br />
Here's the Thanksgiving table that I set, using a $6 bouquet of flowers and some pumpkins, squash, cuties and apples from Trader Joes. I covered the table with brown butcher paper and used chalk to write down people and things that I'm thankful for.<br />

Hello little house, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's been FIFTEEN years since I signed the papers, got the keys and opened your door for the first time. You were freshly painted and groomed. Sunlight streamed through your un-curtained windows and the first thing I did was put my grandmother's portrait up on the mantle. She had passed away earlier that year and when I found you I knew she would approve. I promptly pulled up your tattered green carpet that hadn't budged in 20 years. Your vinyl wallpaper, 4 bedrooms and 2 baths were so quaint and dainty that I almost wanted to leave everything in tact. I had never lived in a house so big in my adult life, certainly not by myself. You weren't my first property but certainly my first free standing house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I sat down next to the fireplace I imagined what the previous owners were like and I wondered what you and I would be like years later. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then the fear of being another homeowner came over me...should I have gotten a 15 year loan? Should I replace the furnace? Should I get an alarm? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, I was tickled pink with all of your beauty AND your flaws.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
15 years later, I'm still enamored with you. You make me feel safe, You have remained solid and stable even in the midst of storms, floods, killer ivy, terrorist threat, construction, graduate school, roommates, squirrels, modifications and the death of loved ones. We've been through some changes, you and I, but we just get better with age.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't take care of you nearly as much as I should but I just wanted to thank you for standing beside me for the last 15 years. If I had gotten that 15 year loan, you'd be nearly paid off by now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No worries though, each re-finance gave me the opportunity to enhance your living space and I will gladly work well into my old age to pay you off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>You are worth every single penny.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Many thanks to my creator who led me to you and has made a way for us to stay together this long.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This blog is dedicated to you, giving you thanks for my glorious pile of bricks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today is an update on an my annual post, and it's our 15 year anniversary!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't have said it any better! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My dog is gone and I really have been through a slew of changes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I must declare that I love the Lord with all my heart and soul and that I'm so grateful for my glorious pile of bricks.</div>

<div style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px;">
<br /></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">One Saturday, many weeks ago, I was experiencing a bad mood and decided that I needed some retail therapy. It happened that I only had $10 in my wallet, which turned out to be a good thing...</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #76838b;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Instead of traveling 40 minutes to the Ballard Designs outlet for expensively discounted non-refundable things that 'might' work, </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I thought I might just save some gas and go to the Goodwill store around the corner. Once there, I headed back to the linens department in search of...I'm not quite sure, just something to get me out of a funky mood (I needed prayer but I was too grumpy). When low and behold, I stumbled upon a pair of gorgeous linen drapes with black polka dot trim! They were lined and even though I heavily doubted that they would be long enough, I reached into my purse to pull out my trusty travel tape measure and suddenly let out a squeal of delight! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Two ladies on the next isle looked at my treasure and said, "Oh, where'd you get those, they are really, </span><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">really</span></b></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> nice!" Still in disbelief, I clutched them a bit tighter and looked around to cover my tracks and check to see if there was something I was missing. Just then, a friend called to catch up on things and I quickly told her I was "on a mission". </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">At checkout, those fabulous curtains rang up for $5.50. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Yes, that's right: </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">FIVE dollars </span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">and</span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> FITTY cents!</span></b></span></div>
<div style="color: #76838b;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Nothing like a major score to totally change your mood!</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #76838b;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #76838b;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Despite my huge bargain and the fact that I was anxious to see how they looked up on the windows, frustrations set in when I realized I neither had the strength, nor the correct hardware to install them. You see, I have STUBBORN plaster walls that are resistant to just any old regular drill bit. After several attempts to put up the curtain rods I felt a case of Tourette's syndrome settling in! I decided to sit ALL of that mess down in order to maintain sanity. Every week night and weekend I struggled to imagine myself up on the ladder with that blasted drill and the pain in my hip (thorn in my side). Weeks went by and all I managed to do was to buy 2 concrete masonry drill bits and lay them in a huge, not so glorious pile of tools.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #76838b;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #76838b;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This weekend while I was off my feet, a friend stopped by to see me. I mentioned some of my undone household projects as a way to excuse my messy pile and he quickly calculated which one he could take care of the quickest. </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #76838b;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Bing-Bang-Boom, there you have it! </span></span></div>
<div style="color: #76838b;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Curtains purchased 8 weeks ago are now in place and look absolutely perfect! </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Thanks to: </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I may have told you about the intense pain I have had in my hips. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's halted most of my physical activity and I admit, I've been a little out of it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Well, I have osteoarthritis...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I haven't had any traumatic injuries, don't have a family history of it and I'm still relatively young.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">But my doctor says that I'm showing signs of it in both of my hips and my lower back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.eorthopod.com/sites/default/files/images/hip_oa_intro01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.eorthopod.com/sites/default/files/images/hip_oa_intro01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Orthopedic doctor said I have 3 choices:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Continue on pain killers</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Get a cortisone shot in the joints</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Do full hip replacement surgery :-(</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I decided that I wanted to get the cortisone shot in the hip IMMEDIATELY, but my insurance company slowed down the process and it took exactly one month and a ton of phone calls to make that happen.</span></div>
<div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So, does that mean I'll be doing this</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span>

Doubts And Faith</h1>

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
Can a believer in Jesus who has occasional doubts about matters of faith ever be effective in serving the Lord? Some people think that mature and growing Christians never question their beliefs. But just as we have experiences that can build our faith, we can also have experiences that cause us to temporarily doubt.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
The disciple Thomas had initial doubts about reports of Jesus’ resurrection. He said, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, . . . I will not believe” (John 20:25). Christ did not rebuke Thomas but showed him the evidence he asked for. Amazed at seeing the risen Savior, Thomas exclaimed: “My Lord and my God!” (20:28). After this incident, the New Testament is silent about what happened to Thomas.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
A number of early church traditions, however, claim that Thomas went to India as a missionary. It is said that while there he preached the gospel, worked miracles, and planted churches. Some of these churches in India still have active congregations that trace their founding back to Thomas.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
A time of doubt doesn’t have to become a life pattern. Allow God to lead you into a deeper understanding of His reality. Renew your faith. You can still accomplish great things for Him.</div>
<div class="poem-box" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; padding-top: 5px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;">
When faith grows weak and doubts arise,<br />
Recall God’s love and tender care;<br />
Remind yourself of all He’s done<br />
And of those times He answered prayer. —D. De Haan</div>

Learn to doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs.<br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Hi Bloggers, it's been a while. </span></span></i></div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I've been in a lot of physical pain and though I've tried not to complain, my attitude has been very different, even discouraged lately. But there is an end in sight and I'm looking forward to it. I'm reminding myself of all that God has done, the answered prayer, His love and tender care. </span></span></i></div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I haven't forgotten about my little blog and it's original purpose, to count my blessings and delight in the mundane. I will be back soon, better than ever!</span></span></i></div>

Trying to clean up on this rainy summer weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've allowed stress and illness push me to the edge and it's time to do a little healing and house cleaning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently I was in New Orleans and had a really good cup of cafe au lait. So I brought a can of it home with me. The beignets were good too, but I had to leave those!</div>

Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink. Warning: If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask him how much you should drink while the weather is hot.</li>

If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the shopping mall or public library–even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat.

If you must exercise, drink two to four glasses of cool, nonalcoholic fluids each hour. A sports beverage can replace the salt and minerals you lose in sweat. Warning: If you are on a low-salt diet, talk with your doctor before drinking a sports beverage. Remember the warning in the first “tip” (above), too.</li>

I'm not trying to rush the month of June, but I do love the 4th of July!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so excited about it that I've started carting out my red wagon, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
white lights and blue bottles from storage.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight, as I sat on the back porch and counted fireflies by candlelight, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought about building a fire pit in the backyard. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Realistically, I might not get that done by the holiday!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I made this instead. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My banana stars were a little mushy but I was determined to make a 'refined sugar free' desert! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What isn't eaten will be frozen for future smoothies!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Recipe:</span></u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 packages of strawberries</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 bananas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 package of blueberries</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 lemon or lemon juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 white serving platter (rectangular, mine is 16" x 11")</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 square bowl (mine is a 6" square Glad re-useable container)</div>
<br />
Wash your blueberries thoroughly and put them in a square container that's small enough to fit within your white serving platter.<br />
Slice the green leaves off of your strawberries, then slice them so that you get the maximum red outside area (save the pinker insides to freeze for a smoothie!).<br />
Arrange your red stripes.<br />
Peel and slice your bananas 1/4" thick.<br />
Arrange your white stripes.<br />
Squeeze lemon juice over the bananas so that they won't brown.<br />
Quarter a few of your banana slices and throw them into the blueberry bowl for stars.<br />
<br />
And You're DONE!<br />
<br />
Artificial Sugar Free! Let someone else bring the cake and ice cream!<br />
