Monday Ramblings

Another Monday, another random blog post. (I know you are all thrilled!)

Saturday, Mom, Carl and I went to the Christmas Gift and Hobby Show at the state fairgrounds. James would have gone too, but he had to work. I bought one Christmas gift...and food. (I couldn't resist the Paradise Bakery cookies.)

We went to a birthday party for my cousin Ryan, who turns 10 this week.



I pretty much coughed my head off with this stupid cold that I have. I hate it. It is especially bad at night when I am trying to sleep. Laying down makes me cough more. I actually am having a coughing fit right now. I cough so hard I starting gagging...I know you are loving these details. I just do not want to be sick...:( Any suggestions on what I can do for this cough? My voice sounds absolutely lovely these days as well. You know how appealing that raspy sound is...

Carl and I packed two boxes for Operation Christmas Child, one for a boy, and one for a girl. Carl will take them this week to the collection site. We plan on giving our donation online so we can hopefully track the boxes. It will be neat to see to which country the boxes go.


I found out today I am done with my debt consolidation program payments. I have one more half payment to make and I am finished! Yippee! Just in time for Christmas shopping....yay! I thought I would not be done until January or February, so this makes me very happy. :)

This Thursday, the ladies at church are going to be decorating a Christmas tree in the History Museum in downtown Franklin. Our theme is Jesus Loves the Little Children of the World. I will try to get some pictures of that and post on here. That should be fun.

Sunday is our church Rally Day. We are excited for that as well. We hope for a great turnout at both our Worship Service and during the special afternoon service. If you do not have any plans, feel free to join us.

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
