InstaLife

I have to give credit to my sister, Bethany, for this idea of showcasing your week/life through pictures (mostly from Instagram). But ever since her first post doing it I haven't been able to get it out of my head. So here goes! My week via Instagram:














1. Dumpster diving with my brothers was very exciting and fruitful! Six beautiful pallets for my little DIY heart!

2. My giveaway win from Papercuts by Dmytro and Iuliia hosted by Created by Laurie

3. My youngest brothers came to visit for the week. Last Sunday we went to Copper River Grill and they downed "Bigfoot's Mother-in-law". Spank even finished all of his fries! But Micah did eat TWO tomatoes and he HATES tomatoes!

4. Micah got Facebook! Finally! :)

5. In the midst of dumpster diving Spank found his dream car!

6. and 7. Adam trying to tie a cherry stem into a knot in his mouth. It took him a while but he finally did it!

Hunting.... Ticks? Not This Time!

I feel wired. I had a coke and then some "feminine" coffee. I had no idea coffee could be categorized by gender but apparently it can be. Black is, according to my friend, manly, and coffee with tons of cream, sugar and whipped topping is feminine. *smiles* He is funny.

I hate words. I don't mind talking, but I often find it gets me in trouble so I'm going to strive to be quieter. It will do everyone a world of good.

Ben is right. I do like people. In fact, I like more people than I dislike. I just dislike a few so strongly that it makes me feel like I dislike everyone (which is not true).

I saw the “old man” again Friday. I was putting gas in the van and he was on the other side of the pump doing the same for his truck. My heart rate shot up, my hands started shaking and I couldn’t remember the pin number for the card and then the pump told me to go see the attendant. We made small talk about how I couldn’t get the card to work (I had walked inside the station at least twice by that time trying to get the pump to take the card). I don’t know what to think about that. Joe saw him… kinda. Man, I’m telling y’all, he is old.

I went out to eat with Carrie and Deb tonight. Goodness, I love them. They are so funny and so much fun to be around. I love working with Deb. She is laid-back and knows all the gossip about everyone who walks in the store. I know no one in this town and being the Curious George that I am it is quite enjoyable to hear all about these people. I love knowing facts about people who don’t know me.

The more I’m around or see country boys the more I want one. I don’t want some boy with the mindset that the city is all there is. Trust me, that will get nowhere with me. I love dirt roads, green grass, country music, driving just for the pure joy of driving, I even like gutting my own food! *laughs* That is a recent discovery. I am even more determined to go hunting this fall. I think I’m gonna ask Jonathan to take me. I don’t know who else to ask. It’s not like RG would take me. I don’t even know if he hunts. Besides it takes him like a year to do anything. And that is a fact because it took him over a year to take me to see his Dad’s house. I am very thankful for the moonlit tour, it was beautiful (the home and the moon), but I did ask him for a tour in the spring of 2008 and I just got my tour this past Wednesday. Jonathan would take me… I just don’t know if he would be able to concentrate on hunting…deer. That would be a problem. I just need to buy my own gun, get a license, purchase my own deer-stand and hunt on our property. But we have dogs that would not only follow me but they would also chase the deer and then I’d want to hunt dogs instead of deer. That would be a problem. Oh, but hey, if I went this route, I could live out there too! *grins* http://home.windstream.net/tomf42344/

I need to go to bed. I’m cooking my rattlesnake tomorrow. I am so excited! I can’t wait. I know it’s going to be good. Goodnight y’all.

Raves and Rants


What a week. In the last week I have traveled to Toccoa; gone on a 2, 3 hour hike, jumped over a creek twice, and been snowed in in Athens. It was interesting to say the least.

Can I just say that sometimes I hate knowing other people actually read my blog because if I didn't know and if I thought that in some way I was "hidden" I would totally write stuff I don't want the whole world to know. I need a journal. I need to buy one and I need to start again.

I know you aren't supposed to announce to the world that you are fasting, but I need my frères and sœurs to pray for and with me. I am praying about going on a sabbatical. My dear, lovely friend Candace gave me the idea. I just love Candace. I am so thankful the Lord blessed me with her friendship. Anyways, I'm just not sure if this what the Lord desires me to do. I also would be fasting from a certain "thing" on top of the sabbatical. I just don't know. I need answers. I need peace that passes understanding. I need direction. I need the Lord to speak very, very clearly to me concerning this situation.

Can I just say that men are so freakin' weird?! Make up your mind already! And I really want to know WHY you told her that. It doesn't make sense.

The next two weekends I am going to be crazy, out of my mind busy! It will be insane. Hopefully I won't go insane! This weekend I am going on a youth trip with the youth group from my church as a youth counselor. Next weekend I am going to TN. And the weekend after that there is the possibility of going to Toccoa. Speaking of Toccoa. I am applying. I hope and pray I will be attending TFC in the Fall.

I am going to be in a wedding. No, I am not getting married. I am a bridesmaid. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I feel like the whole "once a bridesmaid, always a bridesmaid" is going to seem like a very strong truth in my life since there aren't any godly men interested in me. I guess I'm okay with that for now. Je ne sais pas.

I need to work on my Sociology. I'm done ranting. Hopefully my next blog will be a bit happier. Au revoir!
