I keep MOST of these treasures secret.....but this one struck me.




love you Miss T!




I feel honored to be her friend!

Hey Annie girl-

First, I have to tell you that you are one of the strongest women that I know. I read your blog and I am lifted, every single time. Lifted by your strength of not being afraid to be you! I hope that you know, realize and fully embrace that this is a talent! A talent from our Heavenly Father and you my friend, are magnifying and sharing, so it continues to grow.

Really, your words, though I don’t know your “story” behind them, they have been the words to my story that I was too stubborn, afraid or stubborn to say myself.

I adore words. I admire words because when you put words together-they can do amazing things. They have great power.

I felt like you needed to know that your words have given me power. Power that I didn’t realize I was missing until I read your words.

Thank you Annie.

Really-you have no idea the strength that your latest words have given me.

You were an answer to my prayers today.

Thank you.

Look at how awesome you are!!

Really though Annie, thank you for saying what you say-having the courage to do what you do, be who you are, wear what you wear and love your lime, coconut Diet coke’s the way you do.

Anytime that you want to open up a world of sonic diet coke’s too me, and hit up the DI-let me know. I would so love to get together.

Have a wonderful, happy night!!!

{My sentences are all spacy.....Ga-Nnoying}



Colors


Yesterday I got lost in the circus


Feeling like such a mess Now I'm down I'm just hanging on the corner


I can't help but reminisce When you're gone all the colors fade


When you're gone no New Year's Day parade


You're gone Colors seem to fade Your mama called she said that you're down stairs crying


Feeling like such a mess


Yeah I hear you you're in the background bawling What happened to your sweet summertime dress I know we all, we all got our faults


We get locked in our vaults and we stay


But when you're gone all the colors fade When you're gone no New Year's Day parade You're gone Colors seem to fade


Colors seem to fade

Dear Anonymous Commenter.....

I have ten thousand words to say.........

.

.

I had an anonymous commenter last night....that I had to delete.

Anonymous.........does that mean anything to you?

Meaning:

Im going to hide my face while I bash you.

Bash you, even tho I don't know you.

Know your situation or care to know.

I just want to bash you cuz I need to feel good about myself.

and Letting you know how horrible of a person you are makes me feel fantastic.


BUT.... Im gunna hide.

.

.

True?

.

Its funny.

I could have flown to Africa and adopted 5 babies, fed the hungry and planted gardens.

But as soon as I show my shortcomings or fall, thats when Satan attacks.

That's where enemies attack.

Why would I listen or care what someone with evil intentions has to say?

someone who points and laughs when others are hurting.

.

.

Interesting!

I think they are fools.

and I laugh.

Because that just made me stronger TODAY!

I will become solid as a rock as I once was.........So I thank you.

and it taught me that I NEVER want to be you!

.




{cute owl eh?.......ya...i painted it and then had it fired.....oh la la!}



Those who don't have enough room in their hearts to help those who hurt....

Well, .......

I pity them

How sad.

They fill their buckets by tearing others down,

Down low....where they are. Suffering in unhappiness..........

.

Im not any less loved then you.

We all make mistakes...

heard the Saying

"Hate the sin but love the sinner"

WELL, today I have a smile on my face...because Only the strong get trials...

how sad that you don't have any.........:)

.

Well anonymous commenter,......

I have so many around me loving me...protecting me...lifting me..

caring for me.....pushing me to the light and healing me.

So sad you will never be able to be that kind.

.

.

I only hope when you fall....or hurt or have a broken heart that others will swarm you as well....

then you will understand how this whole Atonement works.

Then maybe you will be a TOOL to help others.

maybe.....

One day........

As for now....If you don't like me....

Well, then....ITS SIMPLE!!

don't read my blog.... :)

.

Dont Look me up....or care so much about my life, All the awesome fantastic great things I do...My flaws, my short comings, how funny I am, how sad somedays are, and how its the little things that make me happy!

Go on your way......and don't care so much. :)

See.....simple.

Because who wants to be the kind of person the keeps being deleted?


.

.

.

.

My sweet friend brought me over these Owl Rings.

Umm...hello!

Fabulous!




My Other friend and I are making this OLD fashion vintage apron dress out on an old SHEET.

Can't wait!!!

Seriousl!y.....Looking for yellow polkadot boots to match.....

Mike and I took her to pick out a bike.

She got the one with a baby seat on the back.

She rides it around the house. Cuz well, its COLD and wet outside....ewe.

I haven't had a good weather day to take her 3 year old pictures yet.

If Mother Nature cooperates, then that would be swell.

.

I love Charlee's Abc's

I love her Twinkle Twinkle little star song.

I love how she likes to wash her hair on the side of the tub she she can watch herself in the mirror.

I love that we have to take 90 stuffed animals to the store.

I love how she will not wear panties OR diapers.......or do what we say.

I love that she is naughty

I love that she is weird.

I love that her favorite movie is Fraggle Rock

I love that she goes to Jackson for protection.

I love her.

Falling Slowly......
