Power with in ourselves

"It's not the power of the curse, It's the power you give the curse"

I just finished watching Penelope. Really cute movie. I always like it when a movie has a message.
I highly recommend you watch it.

ETSY

In light of all this work stuff, I have decided to Open and ETSY store. It is a web sight that people can sell the things they make from home. I am working on several things and will let you know when it is up and running. I am excited. Take a peek. Go to etsy.com . Yes!!!! I figured out how to put links in my posts.

Any one know anyone

I was just thinking, some more......... Does anyone know anyone that might be able to teach me a few in's and out's of Microsoft Office? It would be really appreciated and so very helpful if Some one could show me these things. I know a little but I know I need to know more. Thanks in advance. Love you guys!!!

Back to the grind. Sorry it is kind of long.

Well with the decline of our economy I am finding it necessary to start looking for work. Yes I am looking for a job. More for security sake than any thing. Steve still has work but you never know what is going to happen. So I am starting the search now so we are not caught in one of those situations where we are desperate. I sent out two resumes tonight. I am kind of nervous. It has been 18 years since I have had to look for work and it is totally, completely, 100% different. I am a bit freaked out. I hope I wrote my resume correctly. I hope I wrote my cover letter well. I need to know certain software programs to even be considered for a job for the most part. I have some knowledge of Microsoft office but I am not sure if it is enough. Holy cow I am very out of touch. This is why I pray. A LOT!!!!!
I feel that we all need to stop and say a prayer just for the security of our country. Pray for Heavenly Father to have a very strong influence in the lives of these people that hold our welfare in their own hands. We have a direct line to the highest power that exists, why not access it. Pray that our country will pull out of this financial down fall quickly. Pray for our countries leaders. Pray that they will make the proper decisions to help keep our country safe and make it strong again. Pray for all the people who are out of work. Even though President Monson says we don't need to worry, we still need to pray for this country. Pray for the military men and women too. They need it. They are sacrificing so much for us. PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel better.

It's what I do

I have been told I need to show off my handy work. It kind of feels strange but I have decided to go ahead and show what keeps me busy and what keeps me awake at night. The brain just won't shut down sometimes. An addiction to fabric plays a role in the whole picture too. I have finally taken a few pictures of some of the Quilts I have made and a table runner that was suppose to be for thanksgiving. I finally finished it. The first one was for Raini and David. Raini wanted a tropical theme in the same colors as her wedding. One side was cotton and the other side flannel. The next one is Colters. He wanted his in Plaids. That is impossible to find in fabric stores these days. I ended up going to Goodwill and Savers to buy old shirts. That is the name of the Quilt, Old Shirts. The last is the table runner. I will use it next year. I really love doing this stuff.

MyKelle is back in Colorado

MyKelle went back to Colorado yesterday. She had to get back so she could get her life settled. She has decided that she needs to live their permanently. Her car was loaded to the roof of her car. she took everything she could fit and that turned out to be a lot. I was amazed at how much she fit into that little car and that she made the trip in 12 hrs. Her car was really loaded down. She drives a Hyundai Sonata. She made it with no problems. One more answer to a prayer.

I just have to laugh at myself

So for lunch today, I decided to have some chicken and Brussels Sprouts. I know, Brussels Sprouts, EEWWWWW......... I am a strange person any way. Parr for the course. I cooked my chicken first. I forgot to put the Brussels Sprouts in the microwave with my chicken so they were next. I had a little brief prompting, nothing big, to cover the Brussels Sprouts but didn't pay much attention to it.. It was only going to be 1 minute. I start the microwave, and hear the popping of my unpopular veggie, thinking they are just splitting. Less than 30 seconds I check on the cooking process and this is what I find......................................






I just had to laugh. I am such a dork...... I think the holy ghost has a sence of humor. I could just see him and heavenly father laughing their hinnies off. I did..............................

Lesson learned.............. Listen to the small and brief promptings too.


I just had to look this word up to see if it is real. My family used it all the time in reference to the hind end. Now I know, it is a real word with meaning. They were farm folk and this makes sense.

hin·ny

I have not had much success with gardening since we moved into our house. I have tried everything I know to do and I barely get anything. The onions do well. So I decided to just plant flowers and look what happens. They bloomed all through the winter and Three tomato plants decide to come up on their own. So I am trying beets, Brussels sprouts and zucchini. I will start with some easy to grow things and keep trying. I love to garden.

Harvest.............

I harvested some onions today. They are the best ever. They are the kind that naturalize (they make more without seeds.) I usually have bigger bunches but this is a good amount. I just cut them up and freeze them. They make casseroles and anything you put them in taste so good.
