Pretty much me trying to stay awake

I don't have much to share. Adalei's birthday party was a blast, I'm not going to promise it but maybe I'll try to post some pics.

Loving work right now.

Reading a lot right now. Mostly christian historical fictions. Comfort reads. I joined into a Beth Moore Bible study over the book of Daniel. Just gone to the first meeting/study. And well as of right now I'm hooked! Its wonderful. I can't wait for the next meeting so I can delve in deeper into my knowledge.

Later today I am going to go to the park with the kids and try to take some amateur nice photos of my kids. We will see... (maybe I'll post some of those too.)

I have to get my rear in gear for the next meeting of the Rialto theater board. I have to get several coupon books ready for sale. I still have to design the concession ones. Hopefully that won't be too time consuming. I then need to start looking into plays that I want to use for the Christmas play I will be directing. This winter will be busy I believe.

I really want to focus on being more healthy and eating right. I am trying to stay more active with the kids this summer. Its working well, but I haven't lost weight like I thought. I need to get more focused. The clothes are starting to get tight again. I can't go up anymore. I already am at the point to where I once said someone please help me if I get that big. Vowing that I wouldn't let myself get to that point. Yep, so I finally admit it. I'm there. I'm hideous, and don't feel attractive anymore. I just need to duct tape my mouth shut. Argh. Okay no more of this talk. I wanted to remain positive.

Big dreams are growing. We are hoping to move to Oregon someday. It used to be when we retire, but now, we are thinking sooner than later. No definite plans, just dreams, and goals.

There that's better. *thinking of the ocean breeze hitting my face*

Have a great day!

PlayTime

The play went okay. Somewhere along the way we got totally mixed up... and skipped a lot and then retraced back. It was alright though... We had fun and the Theater was PACKED!!! Not even standing room left!!!
So that was neat. My father in law took pictures so I will post some whenever I get them.

Today is Christmas decorating day. I will see how helpful the little dude is. We are going to decorate all except the tree... because we don't have it yet. We have to wait for more snow to make the tree hunting process more fun. It's our tradition to go after a blizzard/big snowstorm, like RIGHT after it, the road are probably not meant to be on then but Ryan is too adventurous. Since Luke's arrival we have waited until the snowstorm was over and everything calmed. My blog ID picture was Luke's first Christmas experience. The one before Luke..... I was pregnant. And Emotional, and cried that we were taking the tree from its family. WOW! That was funny after I had Luke and realized how silly it was.
So, I look forward to getting hot chocolate for us and chocolate milk for Luke and candy canes and driving through the pastures to look for that perfect Christmas tree.

What traditions do you have during Christmas time?

Christmas Charisma

Christmas!!!!! I LOVE Christmas!!!!!

I love love love the songs praising God for sending his baby boy to be born and later die for us unworthy people! Oh, I can never get enough of the Christmas music!!! I am soooo ready to decorate and currently am enjoying the some Christmas music. Ella Fitzgerald, Big Crosby, Frank Sinatra... Oh Man it pumps me up!

The Christmas play is today. Whoo Hoo. I am nervous and excited about. I am now taking a major part in the play, as one of the actresses was unable to take her part anymore-- the day before Thanksgiving, so, now yours truly is "Angelina-- the partyiest Baddest Angel." The play is a short play about bad angels trying to prove they're worthy of not being sent to the Black Hole. It's a cute play. This weekend I was to learn the lines exactly and direct the rest, while working... it didn't work the best, however, I was able to coax some wonderful helpers the hold practices for me. Please pray that tonight will go great and flawless!!!!

My sister in law told me a phase that I have been meditating on, and it definitely has helped.

Too Blessed to be Stressed

That's my new theme, and although at work this weekend I didn't meditate on this or pray enough, it did help when I thought of it and said a little prayer. Sigh...

Well I need to get the programs printed and cut for the play. You all are welcome to come see the play and enjoy some small town Christmas Charm tonight if you would like.

Christmas Charisma to You!
