Fun at the Nature Center

Christmas Stuff

I went shopping a few days ago and was looking at the Halloween costumes. The next aisle over,they were putting out Christmas things. Is it my imagination or do they do that earlier every year???
I remember the big thing used to be that the day after Thanksgiving you would go to the mall to see the new Christmas decorations that were put up.
I just think it is to early for Christmas things to be out. By the time Christmas gets here,I am usually tired of seeing it every where and I LOVE Christmas.

Weekend what to do??????

There is not much on t.v. right now.

I'm not sure which book that I want to start reading next.

I need to clean the house,but I have a headache.

The litter box in my bathroom needs cleaning but I REALLY have a headache.

I went outside but my eyes started watering and I started sneezing.Allergies acting up.

This is how my day has went today.

I have not got much done today.One sink full of dishes washed.One load of laundry washed and put away. Chili is cooking on the stove. That's it.

That has been my boring day today:)

I think I'll add some pictures to my blog.

I'm excited to see what I pick:)

Oh look it's the cutest baby in the whole wide world's 1st Birthday. He really liked his birthday cake.

The Shack

I finished the book The Shack by William P. Young. I really like the story about a man named Mackenzie (Mac) Philip's whose daughter Missy was abducted during a family vacation. Evidence that she may have been brutally murdered was found in a abandoned shack deep in the Oregon woods. Four years later Mac gets a note that may or may not be from God asking him to come to the Shack. He walks into his darkest nightmare where he finds out what happened to Missy.
Where is God when horrible things happen to people? How can God let things like this happen to people? When someone prays and prays for a good outcome and it doesn't happen.Did God even listen?
This is a story where those answers are given to Mac.
I thought this book was very good and it has made my conversations with God a little different.
I recommend this book very highly.

Tip For The Day.

Here's a trick that I have for those people that won't eat their vegetables. I have done this for years because my kids are picky eaters.
You would be surprised what you can sneak a can of pureed mixed vegetable into.
I drain a can of Veg-All (you can use any kind of mixed vegetables) puree in blender.It will be orange.I add a can to the meat for my meat loaf,add it to meat for hamburgers,muffin mix,cookies,soups.I have always added a can to plain tomato soup.My kids get extra vegetable servings and don't even know it.You really can not tell it's in there.
Try it for yourself. Just don't let the kids,or any other veggie haters catch you:)

Books, nice weather and my allergies.

Today is a beautiful day with temps. in the low 70's. The sun is shining,a soft breeze is blowing and I think it's about a perfect day.I just back inside after taking a blanket out in the back yard.I found a good spot ,spread out my blanket and finished the last of one book and started another.
The book that I just finished is The Birthing House by Christopher Ransom. It is his 1st book and I really liked it. It's a horror story that is written very well.
It's about a young couple that move from Los Angeles in an attempt to save their marriage.They buy a Victorian mansion that was once a haven for unwed mothers called the Birthing House.It is a story of possession,sexual obsession and ultimately murder.I really liked the book and will be on the look out for Mr Ransom's next book.
The book that I just started is The Shack by William Young. It has been on the best seller list for awhile. One man said about this book,Finally! A guy-meets-God novel that has literary integrity and spiritual daring. Another said The Shack is a one of a kind invitation to journey to the very heart of God. I think it sounds very good.I have just started reading it and will post my thoughts on it when I finish the book.
I laid outside on my blanket reading for a hour or so and then started sneezing and sneezing and sneezing.I think I sneezed about 20 times.My eyes stared watering and I started to get sinus pressure.Time to come in and look for some Clartin,Benadrl or something for allergies.I don't know what is blooming outside to cause this but I am miserable.
The weather is really nice.I wish I could have stayed out longer.

Google G-Mail not working.

Google G-Mail isn't working right now and it's driving me crazy.I probably didn't get any mail and I wasn't going to send any mail,so it really shouldn't be that big of a deal,but you know how it is when you can't do something,that all you want to do.I am not sure why it isn't working.I tried to log on about 8 times in 10 minutes and couldn't so I decided to go on Twitter and see what was going on.Sure enough it's the number ! trending topic:)
All I really found out it that Google knows about the problem and they are working on it.
I hope that if I won something that I can get to my email to find out and to send my information back to them.
I love technology but it's kind of scary when it goes down and doesn't work.Part of my life is in Google's hands.
Hopefully they will get the problem fixed and it's not a big hacker problem or something like that.Now that's scary.
Come on Google get it fixed.
