Ahhhh... you are too sweet! Thanks for the award. You are a blessing and encouragement to me!
Girl, I love me some chips too. Especially dill pickle chips. Yummo! I'm cleaning bathrooms today too- gross! Still doing laundry. I should have added to the what would I do if I were a billionarie list- I would hire someone to do all my laundry. I really don't mind the washing. It's the folding and putting away that drives me nuts. Anyway... ya gotta do what ya gotta do right!?!
Have a blessed day dear friend and enjoy your family dinner tonight.
Love ya,
Jenifer
Please pray for my husband. He's about to have oral surgery (he just found out) and he's supposed to go into the field afterwards. Thanks!
Laura
Hey, girl. I was reading over your post again and noticed...not a big deal... but in the first line you have By His Design instead of By His Grace...not a big deal.
love ya
Too funny! Do you mean everyone has to wear shoes all the time or can they go bare foot?
Laura-I will be praying for your husband today. Let me know how things go.
Carol-No shoes, just barefoot :)
Jenifer-I seriuosly kept looking at it knowing something was wrong but could never figure it out. DUH! Thanks :)
Cheri;
I'll let you know my things here..since you don't know a whole bunch about me...

5 snacks I like...custard ice cream, snickers bar, m&m peanut,nutter butter,chips and salsa. (but not ALL at the same time!)
5 things if I was really really rich...pay off families debt, buy my husband a new car, travel, pay for kids education, pay off land debt for our church, pay forward to someone not expecting it.
5 bad habits....working too much, being OCD too much, on the computer too much, not matching socks until there is a huge pile, not cleaning my van out

5 jobs I have had...currently self employed (loving it), executive assistant, preschool teacher, church secretary, waitress
and thats all about me...I am sure you learned something. ha ha

Thank you for your prayers. He is home now and was put on quarters for three days. He said it was a horrible experience...they didn't even put him to sleep. I almost passed out when he told me what all they had to do! He's safe at home with me now. :)
Thanks again,
Laura
:)
I loved learning more about you! I have been so busy the past two days that I haven't had a chance to do mine yet. Headed to try to now! :)
Blessings!
Oh, and chips and candy at the same time are very good! I like sweet and salty together!
Your To Do list is, sadly, familiar! I do, however, seem to have a never ending pile of laundry though, so laundry would have to be added to my list! ha,ha!
Great meme. Ditto on the chips. I can't believe how much my life has changed in 10 years either. I may do this one next week sometime, but we are moving about 3 blocks away because of housing demolition so I will not be online for a few days maybe even a week.
