Five Question Friday!!

1. Did you past your drivers test on the first try?   I did pass my driver's test on the first try... Of course I was 21 years old... I had to try for my learners permit 3 times.. Yes... 3 times. 

2. What is your most embarassing moment??  Wow, there is not one most embarrassing moment that sticks out in my mind.  However, when I was a sophmore in high school, I used to sneak my older sisters clothes..  This particular time I was sneaking her cowboy boots to wear to school and it was dark in her closet and I felt around and grab the shoes, when I got to school I had 2 different boots on..  My mom would not come and get me so I had to wear them all day..

3.  What TV show would you like to be on- Oprah, Biggest Loser, or What Not to Wear?  Hmmm, My life is not interesting enough to be on Oprah.   I could stand to lose a little weight, but really not that much.. So  I guess that strikes out Biggest Loser..  I love What not to Wear..  So, I guess it is What not to wear..  Look out Stacey and Clinton...LOL

4. Would you ever get plastic surgery and what kind?  Well, I could sit here and Lie and say well, I have to be satisfied how God made me so I would not ever have plastic surgery but as I said it would be a lie..  Let's see I would start with my nose.  I inherited my honker from my moms side..  Which is long and crooked... I would love to have some reconstuctive surgery on my eye brow..  I was involved in a car accident in 1990 and I almost lost my left eye lid...  It is a mess...  It took most of my eye brow off..  It is a mess needless to say...

5.  What are your favorite jeans to wear?  Wow--  I have losts of jeans, and I really could not name a favorite.  I have several favorites..  I love my New York jeans.....  I love my skinny jeans....  Oh I love them all....

Hooked

I must say that I have gotten several of my friends, family members and co-workers hooked on clipping coupons.  Just taking them shopping one time and letting them actually see how to do it, helps convince them that I am not crazy for clipping all the coupons that I do....

I took a family member shopping Sunday at Publix and we only purchased what was on sale.  She was totally amazed when she seen the total.  $179.86- But we left there paying Publix $50.21...  A savings of over $128.00.  It was amazing.:)   Publix had there Kelloggs cereal on sale for 1/2 price..  She got about 8 boxes of cereal. 

I was just looking over the BI-LO weekly specials and they have over 4o BOGO sale items..  Yipppeeee
I am totally hooked and I am thinking I need to slow down a bit on my grocery shopping..   But I know i will be taking a trip to Publix and Bi-lo this week

Play it sweet in Heaven!!!

I heard this song, and it made me think of my dear friend Jason... Play it sweet in Heaven Jason and I will see you soon... Your presence here is greatly missed by all who knew you..

Click on the link below to here this beautiful song...


Cryin for me--- We all miss you





It's a God Thing

The man who walks with God

 always gets to his destination.


 If you have a pulse you have a purpose.

God is always working even when we don't think he is.. I have learned to trust God with everything..  God is way to big to try to understand.  You just have to trust him... He is the Father.
