It's okay to have thoughts...

Today I'm doing my two Thursday Link-ups, It's Okay Thursday with Neely and Amber, and Thursday Thoughts with Jamie and Jamie. 

It's Okay....

to write all my blog posts ahead of time.

to go outside with out a coat in 50 degree weather.

that the thought of snow makes me cry. 

to spend an entire day knitting or reading a book. 

that I can start and finish a book in one day.

to spend a week living off of salad and carrots. 

Today would have been my Grandma's 81st birthday if she was still alive. I miss her a lot, and sometimes wonder what she would do if she was still around. I know she would have gone to me wedding, I maybe would have worn her wedding dress. I know she would have helped my mom plan everything, and I know she would cried. But, I wonder what she would have done about all the drama that happened shortly before my wedding. I think about her watching me from Heaven, and I hope that she is proud  of me and knows just how much I love her. I was never able to say Goodbye, and that hurts the most for me. (Sorry to end on a sad note, but today and the day of her death will also be a somber day for me)

Ciao, 

It's a Blog Give away!

I would love to give my blog a make over and maybe have my own custom design.  Something that appeals to me and to you my readers. Sadly, at this current time I don't have the cash to spend on it (But I may come summer)

I was reading Toby's Tails (It's one of my daily reads) and saw that she has a blog give away. A Spring cleaning for your blog. Of course I entered right away. (I hope I win) but I decided to share it with all of you. Just in case you want  a new look for you blog too.

Books, books and more books.

I haven't talked about books in a very long time. In fact, I haven't been able to read for a long time, I've been super busy  But there are some series that I can read again and again. Many of them I'm sure you, my wonderful readers, have read too.

I love  The Chronicles of Narnia all 7 of them. Re-reading them as an adult is really cool because even though they were written during World War II, they relate to a lot of the problems that are occur today.  My favorite one is the last book, The Last Battle.  I love C.S Lewis as a writer, I know some of his works are difficult to read and understand but I love how he puts Christianity into his writing.

Another series that I love is of course the Harry Potter books. (But think all of you know that I love those books)

And one other series that I like are the Joshua Books by Joseph F. . These books are written in such a way that Jesus (Yes, I said Jesus) comes back and lives in today's modern world. They are about God, and how he can help up with all the problems in the world today. (Yes, I know, I said God) For me, my favorite of these books is Joshua and The Children.

 I posted about her before, but I feel that every girl should read all the books written by Jan Austen.

Happy Easter

I'm home for Easter which is super nice. I love going to my Mom's house. Of course when visiting I bring Winston who runs around like is never gets to run at home. And sadly my parent's dog, Tinkerbelle, doesn't like him. So whenever he runs past her, she growls. And looks at him kinda like this

(I just don't like him. Why is he here?)

 And my parents have a cat, and as someone allergic to cats, I can say that I have spent the past day with a box of tissues next to me. But I love being able to just relax. I love being able to hang around outside and to have family around. I think this is one of the best times to be around loved ones.

 IIt's Easter, and it's at this time I think of the people I like to call "The Cristers" (Christmas and Easter go-ers) Those that only go to Church on the really important holidays. Sometimes, I just want to say this to them

 But I don't. Because that's not what Jesus would have done. Instead, I think he would have done something else.  Think of this ( and if you don't believe in God I suggest you stop reading right here) the Lord has risen. He gave up his life for us and the best I can think if celebrating the fact that he gave us eternal life, is to he with Family.  So Happy Easter to all.

 Ciao,

Thursday thoughts

to be so tired you fall asleep standing up.

to sound like my mom when disicpling the kids I work with.

Speaking of knitting in the dark

This reminds me of me the other night. I was watching The Hobbit and knitting. That's just how I am.  I'm also a wondering person. Like I really wonder if this

Works?

Which leads me to this...When working with kids do you ever sound like your mom? I know I do. I did yesterday when talking to a child.  I even said "Wow, I just sounded like my mom" and the kid just looked at me me like "what?!"
