Things that irritate me!

Well I woke up this morning and the coffee maker I bought about 6 months ago is dead! So I scrambled around to get ready and off to McDonalds I went to get coffee! So I guess this has me in a somewhat foul mood today, so I decided to ramble off some things that irritate me:

1. Coffee maker broken irritates me.
2. There is this giant porcelain thing in the bathroom to use when you need to urinate, when my boys cannot hit that huge hole...it irritates me!
3. When my favorite show Ghost Adventures is a rerun, I am irritated.
4. If I am getting a nap and someone walks in and says hey are you asleep?
5. I let my dog out and wait and wait on him to come back in and then the minute I get comfy on the couch I hear his little claws scratching at the door.
6. Being relaxed on the couch and my cell phone goes off and it is in the kitchen...hate that.
7. The woman on the tampax commercial that shows up with this pretty package that she calls a monthly gift...I dream of killing her.
8. Stepping in used chewing gum....
9. Going to Wal Mart ( which I now have to do to get new coffee pot)
10 Sudoku puzzles
11 Friends on Facebook...but won't speak to you in public.
12 Exploding yogurts...Open and pow it is all over you.
13 Trying to get a coke out of machine and the last coin in your hand keeps coming back out the slot return.
14 When everyone is in the car but me, as I am walking in front of car to passenger side..Johnny honks the horn and it doesn't scare me, It irritates the crap out of me cause I am already late.
15 Last but not least! Going in a public bathroom stall and doing your business and then you realize there is no toilet paper in that stall....

Thanks for letting me vent....I fell less irritated now...

Simple Things!

The older I get, (and I am getting older quick) the more I realize it is the simple things in life that make me the happiest...

Having my hubby and both my boys at home with me at the same time.
Spending time with family, no matter how short the time is.
Having my yorkie sleeping soundly at my side while I blog.
A text/facebook message from a friend to say hi!
Catching lighting bugs and releasing them.
New hobbies(my new favorite hobby is beading jewelry)
Having true friends in my life who love me for who I am!
Helping others without wanting anything in return.
Cooking for my family.
A walk with my hubby Johnny!
Homemade ice-cream!

All of these things bring me peace and joy, I feel this peace because of God in my life! As long as I look to God for all things everything will always fall into place...God has a plan for me and no matter how I try to change it, his will shall be done! So Relax God is in control and he wants us to have peace and joy...

Until next time:

Live Happy

What I plan to do while I am in St. Augustine!

Oh so many things I want to do on this trip! First is the twelve hour drive with my family which I happen to enjoy. When you are in a car for twelve hours alot of interesting talk comes along with that. Both boys are wanting to drive some also so I should take along extra nerve pills for that. Then when we arrive there are so many things I want to do! My favorite is to stand on the beach and as the waves come in feel it pull the sand out from under my feet. I want to go to the lighthouse and look out over the railing. I am going to St. George Street and wonder in and out of the stores, no traffic is allowed on this street and it is all cobblestone. I want to visit the old cemetery in town at night and try to get some voices on a digital recorder, I am fascinated with that kind of stuff...
Beau wants to go to Harry's and eat! It is right downtown across from the bay and claims to be very haunted. They say there is a woman there who runs women out of the upstairs bathroom, me and gretchen tried to provoke her once but got nothing. But I will try again this time.
Johnny and Alex want to go to Osteens to eat shrimp, yum its good. Always a long wait but right across are antique shops I can browse while they wait.
Anstasia Island is my favorite place in St Augustine, you have to access it from a drawbridge...very cool. We will go by and check out our old home we used to live in while we were there.
The best part will be connecting with old friends and getting to see their kids and how they have grown since we been gone.

Well I will take lots of photos and share them with you when I get back after Memorial Day and let you know If I have any ghostly sightings.....

Today is Important

What you do today is important because you are exchanging a whole day of your life for it! I suggest we find ways to do good each day. When this day is gone it is in the books, lost forever unless we do good to others then that day will be remembered by those we did good for.

I have a few ideas to add good deeds to our everyday life.

1. A friendly smile and a sincere hello goes along way.
2. A card or call just to let someone know you are thinking of them brings great joy.
3. Donate some time to a charity.
4. Take time to listen to someone who needs to talk.
5. Give friends a true and sincere compliment, something you truly admire about them.
6. Don't be quick to judge others, we don't know what others are going through.
7. Hold the door open for someone, I always love when someone does it for me it makes me feel
special.
8. Pray for someone who is going through a tough situation.

I would love to hear your ideas on this subject.

Until next time, enjoy the weather, play in the rain, tell everyone you love that you love them and live fully.

Words of Encouragement!

Everyone needs an instant cheer you up kind of saying, a mantra! A piece of wisdom you can use when you are feeling down. Here are a few of my favorite:

It is never to late to be what we might have been. George Eliot

In the end it is not the years in your life, its the life in your years! Abraham Lincoln

Friendship doubles joys and halves grief! Unknown

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or heard, but must be felt with the heart...Helen Keller

Experience is the name we give our mistakes...Oscar Wilde

This too, shall pass...Unknown

If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all....Anna Quindlen

So if you need a pick me up, feel free to use one of these as your mantra! If you have one, feel free to leave it to me in my comments!

Have a great spring day!

Spring is Here!

Aww! Sweet Spring! Flowers starting to bloom, birds singing and people are just generally in a better mood! I hung some bird feeders and have a whole family of red birds visiting my deck each day! They are really beautiful to watch. The hummingbird feeders are up but no takers yet, but I know they are on their way!
Me & hubby been trying to walk at night and seen 2 full moons this week and last night a sight to behold just stars galore! What a great God we have to create all this for us to enjoy!
The best is yet to come...Thunderstorms!!!!!!!!!!I love them and am fascinated by their power and beauty. Yes Spring has Sprung! So kick off those shoes and run barefoot through the grass and plant as many flowers as you can and enjoy them all summer long with your family and friends around the grill and hanging out!!!!!!!!!!! Until next time!!! Enjoy!
