Things I Learned in 2015

Auctions are fun.

Screen shot can be a girl's best defense.

Losing weight and keeping it off is a lifestyle.

Forgiveness does not mean you have to continue in any type of relationship with someone, whether business, professional, or personal.

Your life is what you make it. Don't like something? Change it.

Most people aren't willing to make changes.

When filling out a comment card, the recipients are really only interested in positive comments.

Apple cider vinegar is a menopausal girl's BFF.

When someone says, "Drop in anytime, take what you need." They don't mean it.

Sometimes the most gracious behavior is just keeping your mouth shut.

Things left in a pile to be thrown away are not always trash-bin worthy.

Flying, though freakishly scary, can be done with lots of prayer support and without the use of medication or other things.

Just because you notice errors on a website does not mean you should point them out to the owner.

Silence truly is golden.

Sometimes we clap because something is over, not because it was good.

Chocolate babka.

People need leaders to follow. 

Shopping can be fun, it depends on where one chooses to shop.

All relationships require effort to make them work.

Netflix is so much better than network television.

Walking away from some things is a lot easier than I'd anticipated.

Someone's word is not very good anymore. "I'll do it" doesn't mean what it used to.

People are going to talk about you. You can't stop them. Just be fabulous.

I need a committee.

Selling items on Craigslist and common scams

I'm selling a couple of things on Craigslist. I've done this a few times before and always, the first interested parties I hear from are scammers. This time in my listing I specified that I will not take money orders and asked that scammers not contact me. Here's the first interested party that I heard from: mr robins journeycristina@gmail.com Is it still available for sale... I replied: Yes it is. Here's the second contact from the first interested party. Note that the name of the sender and the email of the sender are different than the ones from the first contact: Clyde Wright fisherr.mattyy@gmail.com Hello, Thanks for the swift response, just to let you know that am okay with the condition and price of the item, am ready for its purchase and my form of payment will be by sending you Check via UPS next day delivery. I'll be responsible for the pick-up and the pick up money will be included in your payment to avoid delay and to enable pick up company to s...

The Tool Box

I can hear my husband clanging tools around in the garage. He's going through his twenty-four year collection and putting together a tool box for our twenty-two year old son.  Gulp. When did we become parents of an adult who is able to move out and live on his own? He's coming home tomorrow to collect the furniture he's chosen from our house and some other things. He's been gone for a few years but has always come home for summer and holidays. This time it's permanent. There won't be any more summers at home. I won't have to tiptoe around while he's still sleeping. I won't have to chase him out of the shower because he's been in there for a very long time. I won't have to buy Cooper cheese or boxes of Macaroni & Cheese anymore.  The tool box Wayne is putting together for him will last him many years. He'll hang pictures, tighten bolts, and fix small accidents with it. It'll stay by his side as he begins new chapters...

choose your own way

While I was being a good wife this morning, completing the one task my husband asked of me (using the squeegee thing to push melting snow and ice out of the garage after he left for work), I had time to think about life and all of it's stuff. I haven't had time to think or write much over the past year due to life, but I have a few moments now....so let's think.  We live.  We die.  We go to heaven or hell. That's the cycle for each of us. But it's our choice. We decide in advance where we will spend eternity. I am woefully tired of the  They are partying in heaven together posts each time a celebrity dies.  Because they probably aren't. As Christians, we trust the Bible is true. If we read it and believe then we know, by their fruit, if someone has a relationship with the Lord. Not by how funny they were or how loved they were or even by how kind they seemed to be. Their influence doesn't matter. Their popularity doesn't matter. In the end, all that mat...
