Third time is a charm

Let's see if this entry will actually be published to my blog this time.

Testing, testing, one, two, three.......Oh, who cares really?

I started the first draft of my first book. Something I have wanted to do for a long time. I am a huge procrastinator, so who really knows if it will ever get finished, but the fact that I started it really has made me feel better. I have taken the first step, so that is something to feel good about.

I learned to ski today, something else to feel good about.

I overcame my fear of heights while on the ski lift. I am on a role!

I have been praying for the suffering. I am just one small voice, but I know He hears me. He listens to us all.

I finished my book for January today. I know, it isn't January yet. It was just such an easy read and I really wanted to keep finding out what was to happen next. I will probably read it again before the meeting in February. I wonder if I will be the only one there? More pasta for me!!

email me for book club info. smatheny1@earthlink.net

Love to all

Whoops!

Sorry but I have to make a change in the book for the month due to cercumstances beyond my control.

Book for January is:

Light On Snow by Anita Shreve

The meeting place and time is the same. Sorry for the mess up.

Hope and blessings for you all.

Happy Birthday

His birthday is right around the corner. What an exciting day! How will you celebrate it?

Book for January is :

Natural Philosophy by Ben Harris

Meeting place is Macaroni Grill on Rainbow and Lake Mead at 1pm.

If you want to, then call me or grab me at the next gathering and we will exchange numbers. I would love to meet with you and hang out together.

Happy Birthday celebrations to all of you!

Oh the weather outside is frightful, but inside it's so delightful.............

But I'm going out anyway. It is time to shop for Shad. Yes, I waited until the last minute. Only because I wanted to make sure I got the perfect gift, although I still am not sure what that is yet.

Things here have been pretty much the same. I am working, teaching, cleaning, shopping, sleeping, eating, exercising, baking, driving, etc....

No rest for the wicked. God has been doing some awesome work in me over the last month. He is so cool like that.

I am working on starting a book club. We would meet once a month, each taking a turn to pick a book, and then picking the meeting spot which could be anywhere. If you might be interested, let me know. I will be announcing the first book next month on Jan 1st and will also let you know where we will meet in February to talk about the book. Hope to hear from you soon.

Yes, I am married to the computer guy and I can't figure out how to put pictures on my blog. I am sure it is just so easy, but I didn't do something right, so now I am frustrated.

I made soap today. The kids and I looked up the history of soap and we read about it, then we read about the chemistry of soap, and then we made some. It's been fun. I'm giving some of mine away to my mom in her Christmas basket I am putting together. Next, it will be candles.

Last Friday we made a ginger bread house and then ate it the next day. That was cool. Why do we only do this kind of stuff once a year? Why not all of the time? I want to celebrate Jesus every day.

Sex talk tonight at house church. See ya there?
