Do you ever sit and wonder, “What would it be like if…” I’m wondering what it would be like to have a separate room for a new office and have some modern furniture in there. And while I’m dreaming, wouldn’t if be nice to have a brand new computer that never crashed or had to be restarted every day, sometimes several times a day. I think that would be really nice!
Have you noticed a difference in the taste of the water in different parts of the country? Well, maybe most everyone drinks filtered or bottled water now, but I used to drink tap water and noticed a difference. I remember where my grandparents lived had soft water and it tasted so good. They didn’t need a water softener for their water. Soft or hard water does make a difference in the way water tastes.
I was in the grocery store, noticed these taco shells, and was impressed with the higher fiber. But would they taste good? Yes, they tasted very good when I used them to make chicken tacos. I used left-over rotisserie chicken which made for a quick meal. All I had to do was heat some olive oil in the skillet with bite-size pieces of chicken and some fajita seasoning. The taco shells took four minutes to heat in the oven, and then I filled them with chicken and our favorite toppings of cheese, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. This was an easy meal!
So many people have laptops nowadays that I wonder what the actual numbers are of those who have laptops and those who have desktop computers. Seems like through the past several years, I am seeing more and more laptops. They are definitely convenient for traveling and moving around to different locations. Which type of computer do you prefer…a laptop or a desktop computer?
Once I had a temporary part-time job. It lasted about a month and involved answering the phone, waiting on patients who came in, having them fill out paperwork, and calling to verify their insurance. Sometimes I would use the credit card machine and print out their receipt on a little machine. (I don’t know if it was a tm-t88iv or what kind of machine it was.) Sometimes I would call in their credit card number. Even though it didn’t last long, I enjoyed the work and enjoyed talking to the people in the waiting area.
Our daughter, Christi, loves to go to the children’s consignment event that takes place twice a year where she lives. It’s a lot of work pricing every item of clothing and entering it in online. But it’s necessary because when people purchase items at the sale, POSGuys make check-out quick and efficient. It’s worth all the work because she usually makes enough from what she sells to cover what she buys. That’s a really nice incentive for doing all of this! And their little boys end up with some cute, quality clothes that sometimes look like new.
Sunday, February 28, is the last chance to enter in the drawing for a free book, The Five Love Languages, by Dr. Gary Chapman. Chapman is considered an internationally respected marriage and family life expert. This book was on the New York Times bestseller list and has sold over five million copies.Just leave a brief comment with your first name. Also, leave your email address in the info part.
I have often wished we had a treadmill. It would be much easier to fit in exercise time. Exercise could be done while in pajamas, watching TV, or reading a book. Weather would have no effect so it wouldn’t matter if it was rainy, windy, snowy, icy, or whatever. It would be easier to break exercise time down into five minutes here and ten minutes there if time were a factor. But the truth is that we just don’t have room for a treadmill. Maybe someday we will.
Do you ever stop and add up all of the insurance premiums you pay in one month? It adds up to a lot of money! That’s why it’s good to shop around and find the best auto insurance quotes, homeowner’s insurance quotes, health insurance quotes, and life insurance quotes. We even have flood insurance, so that’s five different types of insurance for us. It’s good planning to compare insurance quotes in order to find the best and most economical coverage.
We have had a lot of cold weather this winter in north central Texas, including more snow than we’ve seen in quite some time. Some people have had enough of it, though, and are wishing for warmer weather. They might even like an Orlando vacation so they could travel to where it’s warmer. But soon, the really hot summer weather will be here and some of them will probably be wishing for this cold weather again! How about you? Do you like the weather hot or cold?
Jenny’s very last update:
“Jenny Bizaillion (age 31) passed from this world at 3:38pm today.
According to those who knew her, she was a beautiful, wonderful friend, perfect mom, devoted sister, loyal daughter, and best wife a person could ever have.
From the Bible: Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!”
P.S.
I didn’t know Jenny personally (although I read so much in her blog and felt like I knew her) but I knew her mom who touched my heart the very first time I heard her speak. We had been going through an enormous financial loss back in 2008, and when I listened to Beverly speak in January 2009 about how God binds our wounds, it was like medicine to my wounded spirit. I had no idea until the following month the extreme loss we had experienced (my husband had shielded me from that as long as he could). And Beverly had no idea the ultimate loss she would encounter the following month, the unexpected death of a child. My loss is nothing compared to her loss, but it is my loss and a loss to me. We both needed God to bind our wounds! And He has!!
