April 19 song quizHERE IS A LITTLE QUIZ FOR YOU:
It is something fun that I have been working on for a bit... It is simple... Simply name the songs that each line is from... For added pleasure... name the artist...
1)Baby when I think about you... I think about love...
2)You've got me running going out of my mind...
3)I think you're headed for a breakdown, so careful not to show it...
4) baby we can talk all night but that aint getting us no-where....
5) I walk along the city streets you used to walk along with me...
6)hello darkness my old friend, I've some to talk to you again...
There are a lot more I could do but thought I would start with those
 leave your answers in the comment section or even c & p to your page and let me know catch22 RoadLATTE OF THE DAY: ROCKY ROAD CHOCOLATE, PEANUT BUTTER, MARSHMALLOW, PRALINE
Life has many roads and paths that we must take... some are quiet, peaceful, serene... some are bumpy, full of ruts, and not so serene... I have been on several variations of these roads... I miss the quiet, peaceful road in my life... but I also remember while I was on that particular road I missed some of the things that were not present in my life... it is like a catch 22...
When I was younger, a friend wrote a song and gave it to me, called catch 22... can't live with you... can't live without you... I don't remember all of the words to it now but I will search for it in all of my memories boxes that I have... I know I didn't throw it away but you can get the idea about where the song is heading...
Life's roads often lead us in circles... the circumstances may be different but the lessons behind it is still the same... We sometimes overlook the this for the that in the situation... I know I do it a lot... The lead pastor at the church I teach missionettes at says "If you do what you did you get what you got." That is a good way of putting it and of explaining why some of the roads we go down look aweful familiar...
If we continue to do what we have always done, we will continue to get results that look the same as what we always got... there is no way around that... what needs to be changed is what we do... But then we get into a whole new thing of stepping out of what we are comfortable with... and that is a topic for another time...
I am often asked why I stay with Mrfit... I don't know what changed in him... he isn't ready to tell me... but I do know that I can't keep doing the same thing we have done the last few years because we are getting nowhere... So I pray that I be shown the way that I need to change to work on my part of the marriage... I know that I am not perfect... I am far from it... but I can't help but feel we have been down this road before and I didn't like where it lead to then and I don't like it now... I don't leave because I know there is a good man inside somewhere... I don't leave because I know that deep down he does love me... I don't leave because...............
Enough depressing stuff....... April 16 Rambling onLATTE OF THE DAY: BANANA BONANZA BANANA AND CREME CARAMEL
Why is it that some people can not think outside of the box? Why is it that they are also the ones that think they know everything and no one else can know anything?
Next set of questions.....
Do you notice when your S.O. does something helpful yet tedious? Do you notice that things are done and say something or do you just go about your business?
I have been working a lot on my yard and the house that I try to call a home... A lot of the stuff I do I honestly don't expect anyone else to care about... but it does hurt when I actually do show someone something I had been working on all day only to have it made quite clear that I did not do it how someone else wanted it done... IT DOES HURT when I do ask someone for help only to be lied to like I was too stupid to know it was a flippin lie... I am finding it easier to crawl inside myself and just not say anything... just do what I can see needs done and what I know how to do... I have fixed more things that I have been told someone else would do... granted I have had to use the internet to find out HOW to do some of it but I have none the less managed to do it...
I said before that sometimes I miss being single... THEN I HAD to do things on my own... but I also didn't get yelled at because something will make mud before it is hardened... I didn't get yelled at because I plugged up the drains on a washer when I put mudmats in it... (which I did this last week)... Then I could go out with my friends without having someone tell me they would take the night off and go with me meaning that I would once again not be able to relax, have fun and get drunk which I haven't done in a very very long time... I have always been the DD... I have a friend that wants to take me out and let me get drunk... Her hubby would drive because he CAN'T drink...and I am not even allowed to go out unless Mrfit takes the night off and goes as well... if he goes I can't drink because he will expect me to drive... I don't get to go do things with him and his friends but heaven forbid me to go do something with mine... So I stay home to avoid the fight that I know will happen...
Otherwise my house has been real peaceful...Tommy and I get along a lot better now that he is out on his own... things are more quiet...
More later April 07 Happy EasterLATTE OF THE DAY: TROPICAL SUNRISE WHITE CHOCOLATE, COCONUT, FRENCH VANILLA,
WITH A SPLASH OF ORANGE
HAPPY EASTER TO YOU AND YOURS!!!!!
While the two were telling them this, suddenly the Lord himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."
They were terrified, thinking they were seeing a ghost. But he said to them, "why are you alarmed? Why are these doubts coming up in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet, and see that it is I myself. Feel me, and you will know, for a ghost doesn't have flesh and bones, as you can see I have."
He said this and showed them his hands and feet. They still could not believe, they were so full of joy and wonder; so he asked them, "Do you have anything to eat?" They gave him a piece of cooked fish, which he took and ate in their presence.
Then he said to them, "These are the very things I told you about while I was still with you: everthing written about me in the Law of Moses, the writings of the prophets, and the Psalms had to come true."
Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, "This is what is written: the Messiah must suffer and must rise from death three days later, and in his name the message about repentance and the forgiveness of sins must be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And I myself will send upon you what my Father has promised. But you must wait in the city until the power from above comes down upon you."
Then he led them out of the city as far as Bethany, where he raised his hands and blessed them. As he was blessing them, he departed from them and was taken up into heaven. They worshiped him and went back into Jeruselum, filled with great joy, and spent all their time in the Temple giving thanks to God.
Luke 24:36-52 (Good News Translation)
On the third day HE rose again... so that my sins may be forgiven... so that our sins may be forgiven... All four gospels say the same thing... that Jesus rose from the dead so that we may be forgiven... all we have to do is ask for it...
Would we see HIM as a ghost today? Would we pass him by as a dirty beggar too lazy to work? Would we dismiss him as just another person because we are too busy with our own personal stuff to take the time for a stranger? What would we do to this man who gave up his everything so that we could be forgiven of our sins? April 06 Just Keep SwimmingLATTE OF THE DAY: SCARLETT'S ROMANCE DARK CHOCOLATE, CHERRY, WHIPPED CREAM AND A CHERRY ON TOP
TO QUOTE DORA: JUST KEEP SWIMMING... JUST KEEP SWIMMING... JUST KEEP SWIMMING...
I take two steps forward and three steps back it seems... but I just keep swimming along knowing I will never get more than I can handle even if it feels like the whole world is coming down on me...
I applied for the drive-thru job today... most likely I will get it, even at part time if I want... the owner is opening a second location and has been having a hard time with some of her help lately... will keep you posted on it...
I am sore today... I was out cutting branches yesterday... I still have a bunch to cut and more to pick up but it got colder yesterday and I don't feel all that well today so I will wait on them for a day or three...
Tommy has been coming by for visits a lot lately... we get along great as long as I don't open my mouth with mom things... he even texts me ... the messages??? I love you mom... I have to tell you, my house really has been peaceful the last month or two... I like him visiting me but I don't think I want him living here... I have a lot of repairs to do now that he is out of here... I mean a lot of holes that he either kicked, punched or put things through... I have doors and windows to replace because he broke them... There is so much I want to do now... So much more I can do... I only wish that the rest of what has been going on would fall into place a lot quicker than it is... but this is one of those times that I must wait upon God for HIS time is different than my time and it will only work in HIS time...
So until then, I just keep swimming..... April 02 BehaviorsLATTE OF THE DAY: PECANBEAN BUTTER PECAN AND VANILLA BEAN
Sometimes it is hard to see the writing on the wall unless you are really looking for it...
For the last week or so, Mrfit has tried real hard to get back to where we once were... I think, however, it is my mindset that has changed and not his... I have been spending more time outside doing yard work... and house repairs that need to be done outside... We made an agreement that we would spend Sundays together doing something we both like not just something "him" oriented... The last three Sundays we have sat and watched the races together... granted two out of the three were at the firehall but it has a bigscreen tv and there is just something about watching them on the big screen and surround sound... just the two of us... no one else is there, which surprises me... I find it odd that none of the rest of the firemen watch them there... But even with the good Sundays, he still can be a jerk the rest of the week... he jumps my behind if something isn't clean that he wanted cleaned but failed to inform me about...
Enough about that now...
I bought a little book the other day... Normally I don't buy them on a whim because it just isn't in the budget for me to do that but something inside said to and it kept nagging at me until I did...
The name of the book is God's Mirror by Max Lucado. If you haven't had a chance yet, it is definately a book to pick up... It doesn't take a long time to read but it's message is a powerful one... A side of things I hadn't really thought about but makes all the sense in the world to me...
I have, for about 18 years, told people that anything and everything we think and do is a behavior... to tell a child to behave, in a sense, is to tell them to do exactly what they are doing... whether appropriate or not... it is still a behavior... It is hard for some to understand how thinking is a behavior but it is a behavior that preceeds all other behaviors... it is a precursor to the actions that are done... first we think and then we do... the thoughts may not always be good and healthy ones but they are actions none the less...
I want to leave today with a word... I mean a few words from the word..
Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. Colossians 3:17
