Just A Note

Just a quick note to explain that I haven't had very long posts because we are in the middle of a house project, both boys are home so that means twice the laundry, dishes and cleaning.

Levi's girlfriend came over yesterday for lunch, then we sat around and talked while we played with legos Yes legos one is never too old for legos those toys are classic. Then levi and dad had to go back to work on the house and so mom, amanda and I chit chatted a whlie.

I had better go now

Today is a day to Scream

Ever had one of those days were you just want to scream at the top of your lungs in frustration?

If you live on planet earth you probably have. So here is some tips on dealing with frustrations

1. Pray letting your frustrations go and putting it in God's hands is the best way of dealing with your problems.

2. find an outlet where you can express yourself weather it be through writing, knitting, wood working, metal working, drawing or painting you don't have to be good at your outlet the point is just to let off some steam.

3. Breathe sometimes you just need to take a step back and relax.

4. Realize that sometimes we don't know where life is going to take us, but as long as we put God first in our lives He will see us through.

SWEET

I was just checking my stats on my blog to see how many people had read my blog so far, when I found out that I got several views from the Netherlands! how cool is that?

Anywho my day at work today was over all pretty good. I like my job I really do but usually by the time I get home at night I'm ready to crash. Not that it's a bad thing and not that my job is terribly hard work (there are a lot more physically demanding jobs out there.), but by the end of the night I am ready to go home. LOL I still dream of owning a bakery/coffee shop and yes I realize owning a business is more work than what I am doing right now, but I think its different when is yours and you have put your own sweat and tears in to building the business.

I better get going I have a couple dogs that are smelly and in need of a bath. Mr. Jake is first he is going to get his bath tonight and Mr. Gollum will be getting his bath in the morning. (Gollum is in his kennel sound asleep right now so I'm going to wait because I need to clean the kennel in the morning to which means washing the doggie bed and blanket that's in the kennel.)

Till' tomorrow then!

Gadgets and Life

Seems these days everyday life takes gadgets, most people use their smart phones to help run their business and to help them keep track of appointments. But at what point do all these gadgets become a hindrance and at what point is it helpful? For me it's not to hard all I have one computer my phone isn't a smart phone, and I have a job that doesn't really deal with computers I don't have to use my Ipad to keep track of stats or accounts. But even with one computer I feel like I'm letting my gadgets take away my time. So how do you stay focused so that you don't live your life vicariously through your gadgets? For example I was at a concert and there was a lady that pretty much watched the whole concert through her ipad because she was so focused on taking pics and video.

Well Not a whole lot planned for today just working, I have to go in an hour earlier than usual because we have truck today. Anywho I'd better go now.

Apple pies and Apple Dumplings

I made apple pie and apple dumplings this week. I love to bake! I would be content owning my own bakery/coffee shop! We need a good bakery in Cambridge one that is open late. For those late night coffee drinkers. But funny thing about running and owning a business you kinda need capital. So My plan is to work hard and save up so I can open one up.

Anywho Levi, Amanda (Levi's girlfriend) and Myself went bowling yesterday on the first game I bowled a 23 and the second game I bowled a 63 Don't laugh! 63 is good for me!

I may have lost but I had fun!

So Day off today Mom and I are going grocery shopping and I have to clean my room and make dog food. Jake is loving the homemade dog food he was starting to get gray around the nose and I'm telling you his color is coming back, he is shedding less, and his eyes arnt as cloudy as they were before. He has tons more energy too...the other night I was playing with him and he started to run around the front room like a mad man! LOL Those of you who know Jake Know that its usually pretty rare for Jake to run and play.
