This Morning

Katelyn — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:18:19 +0000

Do you ever wake up before the alarm clock goes off? For some reason I woke up about 10 minutes before my alarm was supposed to ring. I laid there for a moment and then decided to get on up and get an early start to my day. I was able to take my time eating breakfast and getting dressed. I feel really good about starting my day without rushing around. I hope the rest of the day is as good as my morning!

Warmer Weather

Sure do hope that Winter has finished with us by now. If the groundhog was right, we will have an early Spring. So now that it is March, I happy to note that the weather has gotten much warmer and there hasn’t even been much rain. I love the idea of an early Spring!

I need to get out more

Katelyn — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:46:58 +0000

With the weather changing and all of the rain we have had lately, I really need to get out more. I have been stuck in this house by my own wishes unfortunately, and now I need to get my rear end out into the world again. Now I just have to find out where to go and maybe with who or is it whom? I don’t know but I have to get out. I know I’ll feel a lot better too.

After the divorce…….

Katelyn — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:50:27 +0000

After a marriage you go on a honeymoon. Well after the divorce there should be a celebration too. Maybe a ‘freedom moon’. Well I know just where to go on my freedom moon. That to a really nice Myrtle Beach resort. I might even take a two week ‘freedom moon’ since we had a two week honeymoon. I can take in the shows, shop and kick up my heels. The only problem is deciding which one since there are so many Myrtle Beach resorts to choose from.

I really love the beach in the fall because their aren’t so many people down there and you can get tickets to just about any show you want to see too. It’s sometimes harder to get those tickets in the summer. Maybe I’ll just stay in one of the Myrtle Beach Hotels that are there. I’ll figure it all out as the time gets a little closer. I am so looking forward to my freedom moon!!!!

That went great

My grandmother went down to her beach house Monday as I was coming back. When she got there, she gave me a call and said that she was going to bust my rear end. I thought I had done something wrong and made her mad. That’s not what it was. She absolutely loved the things I had gotten for her kitchen.

She loves to watch the cooking shows on TV and always talks about how pretty their kitchens are and the things I got her were just what she had been wanting. She told me that I didn’t have to do that which I already knew. At any rate, I made her happy and that’s what I was trying to do. Mission accomplished.

Heading to the beach

Katelyn — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:47:20 +0000

Well I figured I would take the weekend and get away for awhile. I’m heading to the beach this evening. I really could use a break with everything that’s going on but that’s another story.

I love going down to my grandparents beach house because I can just lay around and do nothing if I want or find something to do too. Personally, I just like being at the house. No need to go anywhere but to the grocery store, which is only a quarter of a mile from their house. Well here’s hoping each and everyone of you have a great, relaxing Labor Day weekend!!!

I love James Taylor

Katelyn — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 23:42:34 +0000

I’m sitting here listening to oldies and James Taylor just came on singing “I don’t want to be lonely tonight.” I think that’s the name of the song anyway. He has such a soothing voice that listening to him just sort of relaxes you into your evening. Neil Diamond is another one that I enjoy listening to. Yeah they both were before my time but my aunt always listened to them and I guess that’s why I still love listening to them sing.

Well I need to get something to eat. I just realized that I haven’t had dinner. Put on a little soothing music with your dinner. It’s supposed to help with your digestion I hear.

I’ve even seen some of these

Katelyn — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:25:56 +0000

I guess not everyone wanted their mailbox to be the same as everyone else in the development so they started shopping around. I honestly must admit that I hate it when I end up with the same thing someone else has. I like my individuality to shine through even if it’s in a something as simple as mail boxes.

I’m sure you have been through those developments where every single house looks similar and then they all have to have the same Mailboxes. I call those ‘cookie cutter developments’ because everything basically looks the same. It’s hard to stand out in a crown when you’re all dressed the same. Well the same is true for your home. Mine has to be as individual as I am. Well some have said that I’m just plain old ‘weird’ but I like ‘unique’ better, don’t you? I’m not like everyone else and I want my surroundings to reflect that.

I just realized something

Katelyn — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 19:29:07 +0000

Guess what I just realized. My last post was my 100th post on my blog. How cool is that? My grandmother always told me I could talk the ears off of a mule and now I believe her. That sounds awful, doesn’t it?

Well I like to talk and I also like to help others so a blog is the perfect way for all of that. I can only hope and pray that someone who reads my blog, finds something helpful to them. That’s what I started this blog for and can’t think of a better blessing to me than to think I’m possibly helping someone. Thanks for checking out my site. I honestly do appreciate it.

You don’t have to be over 40 to do this

Katelyn — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 21:06:51 +0000

I found a great new exercise routine that I really think I could do and stick with. It’s called Exercise for people over 40.

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute and then relax.

Each day you’ll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags. Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I’m at this level.)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.

Gotcha didn’t I? Well I hope I did anyway!!!!
