some blog housekeeping

i love it when ya'll post random things about yourselves.
i love to learn all sorts of fun things that you might not share otherwise....
however truth be told,
i think i tell ya'll far more than you wish to know about me already.

but a few of you sweeties sent over some blog awards last week

thankyouverymuch

& since i need to do some blog housekeeping

what better way than to do in random facts format!

since i'm not all that interesting , a few of these are reruns! :)

~~ 3 years ago today i joined the gym

again

again?

let me explain

i am a former fitness fanatic-distance runner- aerobics instructor

who after the joy of a new marriage and the heartbreak of two miscarriages

promptly put on some weight following the birth of my 4th child

YEARS ago

& never lost it

so

i dragged my tail ( albeit larger than in years past)

to the gym & signed on the dotted line

that year i lost 30 lbs

&

i pumped to tell ya

that 3 years later...

i've kept it off!!

that little post is ~ right here~

~~ i tear up every time i hear my georgia boys sing "cry out to jesus"

~~ i'm probably going to blow the speakers in my suburban playing this song

~~ My most precious patient ( as an oncology nurse) was a little girl named Grace who spoke of seeing angels before she passed away. a few weeks later i gave birth to my second daughter & named her Madison Grace, in her honor.
oh , & truly believe she saw those angels.
her tender heart has forever changed how i view the spiritual world

~~Purple Rain, the Prince movie. you probably are too young.
it pains me to tell you
but in the 80's i saw it atleast a dozen times
3 of which were in a 24 hour period
on 3 different dates
with 3 different guys
who says i can't manage my time well?


~~I'm terrible about shaving my legs
& no i don't mean that the actual technique
it means i don't shave them as frequently as i should
i'm certain you're glad i've shared that with you

~~ i'm an animal lover

& i hate the cliches

" kill 2 birds with one stone" &

" don't beat a dead horse"

yuck-i hated even writing those

~~i've never watched an episode of

24

desperate housewives

or sex in the city

gasp

~~i love setting a pretty table

which explains why i have about 35-40 different sets of dishes!

~~ admit these photos have nothing to do with this post

but she's such a cute cheerleader that i couldn't resist

~~apparently my correlation of expensive dog to potterybarn furniture

and rescue dog to ikea

was poorly executed & thus confused you

i don't have Lucy

but i do have Brinkley

we adopted this most sweet golden 2 years ago

after 15 years with 2 big dogs, we are now indeed a one dog family!

the sofas are new....the dog is not

ps-thank you amy, martha, marci, gina, & megan. you are all so sweet & made my day! blessings to each of you xo
