My Scrambled Brain

Posted by: beaner927 on: October 6, 2008

I think if I was alone, I would move to coastal North Carolina and live in a small town. I can thank Nicholas Sparks for that thought – he’s my favorite author. I just love all of his romance novels. They’re good, but not trashy, which is why I like them. I just finished ‘The Choice’ [...]

I’m Expecting…..

Posted by: beaner927 on: October 2, 2008

…..to get more Blog Hits today with that title!!!! Ha! Ha!
I wanted to write this post about money. My Small Group is doing a Crown Financial Ministries Video Series & it just reminded me of how bad off Dwight & I were 3 years ago and how we diligently worked to pay of several thousand [...]

So Very Sore

Posted by: beaner927 on: September 29, 2008

I had an awesome weekend!!! Saturday was my Birthday, and I spent most of it hauling wheelbarrows full of dirt from my drive-way to our front retaining wall area. I told Dwight that I’ve never had to work so hard on my Birthday before! He rewarded me by getting a babysitter & taking me out [...]

Some Quotes I Like

Posted by: beaner927 on: September 24, 2008

“I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside.” – ‘The Shack’  I’m a few chapters into my 2nd reading of this new favorite book.
 “Bach gave us God’s word. Mozart gave us God’s laughter. [...]

It’s Lost (or just a totally random post)

Posted by: beaner927 on: September 21, 2008

My Sara Groves ‘Conversations’ CD is gone. I have the case, but the actual CD is gone. I’ve searched through just about every other CD case I own just hoping that I shoved it in with another CD when I was in a hurry or something. I can’t find it anywhere & it’s driving me crazy!!! [...]

Things To Do:

Posted by: beaner927 on: September 18, 2008

1. Catch up on laundry.
2. Food shopping. Take-out is getting expensive & sucking a hole out of our budget!
3. Make sure Nick & Jess have all their soccer equipment ready for the weekend.
4. Mow the backyard – it’s a jungle after all that rain!
5. Dishes. Didn’t I just do them???
6. Help with the kids’ homework. [...]

Rainbow Connection Lyrics
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they’re wrong, wait and see.
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish [...]

Palin

Posted by: beaner927 on: September 4, 2008

Here’s just a few reasons why I don’t like her – she’s full of oil & gas!
(from Wikipedia) In 2007, Palin supported the Alaska Department of Fish and Game policy allowing Alaska state biologists to hunt wolves from helicopters as part of a predator control program intended to increase moose populations. The program was criticized [...]

“Summer Breeze…

Posted by: beaner927 on: September 1, 2008

…makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.”  Actually, the summer breeze put me to sleep in my chaise in the shade today. I can’t even remember the last time I allowed myself to just rest & enjoy the day! Of course, it helped that Jess was out on a play date [...]

Front Porch & A Thunderstorm

Posted by: beaner927 on: August 28, 2008

My front porch is a 12′ x 10′ slab of concrete with an overhang. It’s one of those places I go to be crazy, especially during a thunderstorm. Since I live at the end of a cul-du-sac, there is virtually no traffic on my street. I can sit on my porch at night in solitude. [...]
