Happy Memorial Day!

This four day weekend I discovered...

-I love the show 'Flip That House'. It makes me want to use all my creative juices.

-For the first time since about eighth or ninth grade, it is almost June and I am not tan at all.

-You just can NOT speak patience into existence.

-I have a terrible memory.

-I like having people over to our house.

-I miss Jeffy's family a lot!

-If I want to use the new golf clubs I got for Christmas, I'm going to have to make a plan to go golfing myself instead of waiting for my husband to take me.

-Afternoon naps are great, and boy, have I missed them!!!

Random

1. I really want to see the new movies Knight and Day and Killers! They look so funny!

2. I'm so disgusted with Starbucks. (<-- This doesn't happen often. They put creamer in my coffee when I said, "NO creamer please." Don't they know milk anything makes me so sick lately? They should! I go there at least 4 times a week!)

3. Curtis Payne is one of my most favorite TV characters. He just makes me laugh really hard!

4. I started reading a Beth Moore book, and I can hear every word I'm reading in her voice.

5. I'm also reading CrazyLove, and the way it defines stress and worry really got to me. I'm so thankful for the way God speaks to us through all of His people.

6. I don't know why, but I love that movie Avatar!!

7. And I again I don't know why, but God gave me the BEST husband ever!! Tuesday, he made me feel like I was the most important person who ever walked the planet. He got off work early and brought me breakfast in bed. Then, after I got ready, we went to Springdale to get my new car!!!! ( Its a white 2006 nissan altima! I love it! ) After we got the car, we went down to Fayetteville so we could eat at Qdoba!! It's my favorite!! After Qdoba, we came back to Rogers and went to see Iron Man 2! After Iron Man 2, he took me shopping at Old Navy and Belk. Then after shopping, he took me to get ice cream. When we got home from getting ice cream, my momma was here waiting for a ride in my new car! So I took her for a ride and when we got back, the three of us went to Lifeway then TJ Maxx. And then went to dinner at Red Robin! Yummm! While we were at Red Robin, Jeff got a phone call reminding him of his softball games for the night, he had forgotten about! So my mom and I got to spend some time together, just the two of us! It was such a great day!!!!

Maybe she's born with it; Maybe it's not worth it if she isn't!

The more I think about it, the more I realize I HATE makeup.

Seriously, I just wish I could spend a few minutes with the person who decided women should wear make up on a daily basis, or even at all for that matter! Does it make some people look better? Yes. But we wouldn't know what we were missing if someone had never invented it. I really just feel makeup and the whole makeup process is flawed.

1. We pay for bottles or gunk to cover our pimples. This gunk occasionally gets clogged in pores which causes pimples. So why not avoid the whole thing to begin with?!
2. Again, we PAY for this stuff to make us look 'pretty'. But most of the time, whatever it is we want to get 'pretty' for, isn't right outside of our bathroom mirror. So by the time we get to whatever it is requiring makeup, it doesn't even look the same as it did to begin with.
3. The same makeup we spend time putting on has to come off of our face before we go to bed. So we spend time and money to put makeup on our face that in just a few hours has to be washed off!

It is so frustrating to me!!!! I think the reason it is so frustrating to me is because I can't seem to make myself quit wearing it. As much as I complain about it, you would think I wouldn't wear it. But I do! Mostly because everytime I say to myself, "Self, we are through! No more wearing makeup!", I see some gorgeous, makeup wearing, woman walk by making me want to hide my face. It's a terrible cycle!

I am also fully aware of the fact there are some women who LOVE makeup. I know they love everything about it. But they can write about how much they love it on their blog, and I will write this on mine. :)

You Make Me Smile

Things that put a smile on my face today:

1) Beautiful Sunrise this morning

4)Looking up this afternoon, there was not one cloud in sight.
5)Lunch with my Kristie on the patio at On the Border
6)Jeff came home wearing a Yankees hat (not only did it make me smile, but it melted my heart too!)
7) Finding the Arkansas vs. LSU baseball game on tv
8)Finally hearing my favorite sound in the world....the sound when the ball hits the baseball bat!
