Pinteresting Tuesday

So, I had to take a short hiatus from the ole blog, so my husband could get through finals week. But, no worries we are back to our regularly scheduled programming, so it’s time for a Pinteresting Tuesday post.

Here’s my Top 5 pins from the week:

1. This Funny

Oh, I love reading the Willy Wonka pins:) One of my classes is constantly giving me a hard time about a woman needs to be in the kitchen making a sandwich (this drives me nuts!), so when I saw this I about died! I think I need to post this in my class just to prove a point.

2. This Wristlet

Well, you know my birthday is coming up and man this is just a darling little wristlet…

3. This Poster

Ok, I need this poster! Wagon Wheel by OCMS is probably one of my favorite songs ever! It never gets old…EVER! If you’ve never heard it, well, you’re life just isn’t complete so go check it out NOW!!

4. This Recipe

Do you love fried pickles? Well, let me tell you I sure do!! They are so yummy! The only problem is they are fried and not so healthy. But, I found this great recipe, and already tested it out, that bakes the pickles instead of frying them.  By the way, they weren’t too bad at all.

5. This Funny

Can I tell you that The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite movies ever! I’ve loved it ever since I was a kid, and when I saw this a few days ago I cracked up! How true is this!? All I can say is AMEN!!:)

Happy Pinteresting Tuesday!

Make the Most of it Monday

I don’t know about y’all, but I am having a terrible case of the Mondays! I have just been in a funk today and can’t seem to snap out of it. Isn’t it weird sometimes when you are having a terrible day, God just seems to have a hand in snapping you out of it? I decided to go for a run tonight around a park nearby our house. I usually don’t run around the park because in the summer the lake gets all buggy and smells funky, so I usually avoid it, but tonight I decided to give it a whirl. Well, I’m glad I did because it made me realize I need to make the most of my Monday, funk and all.

So, I drag my lazy rear out of the car and start off on my run and start to notice these little messages written in sidewalk chalk every so often. They said all sorts of things like:

“Look! There’s a pretty view!”

“Don’t worry try again tomorrow.”

“Do something unexpected!”

and as I was rounding the last stretch to finish up:

“You’re going to be fine.”

Yeah, if that was some sort of sign, then I don’t know what is! I was about to get in my car and saw a couple with some sidewalk, so I figured this was their handy work. I told them how much I appreciated all their messages and they smiled ear to ear! Isn’t amazing how something so little can make you’re day turn around:)

This also made me think about how everyday on Earth is an amazing gift from God, and I need to treat it as such…even if it is a Monday!

Happy Monday!
