Friday's Favorite(s)

It's Friday!!!  I'm linking up with Erika, and her gal pals, Narci and Andrea to let you in on my favorite for this Friday.

I discovered a new snack!  It is so yummy, and takes me back to California (where I tried my very first frozen banana)!  I actually walked to Baja (almost 2 miles from where our hotel was) just so I could get a frozen banana on our final day there! Ha!  When I found these, I was meandering through the frozen fruit section, because fresh fruit is sometimes kinda gross at this time of year.  

Holy moly!  These are soooooo YUMMY!!!  Being that Dark Chocolate is good for the heart, and bananas have potassium in them, how can a girl go wrong with this as a snack!  Only trouble is, I have to make myself stop at ONE PACKAGE - or I'll eat THE WHOLE BOX! Hahaha! 

Go ahead, you know you want to try them!  I can promise you won't be disappointed!!!

Happy Friday!  Thanks for stopping by!  Sorry for the late post, but it's been A DAY!  See you Monday!  Have a great weekend!

What I Wore Wednesday?!

It's Wednesday.  The first Wednesday I'm back after I came back to the blogging world!  It's also a SNOW day, which means this chick is still in her jammies!  Will I take a picture of that to post?  Nope.  Just because that would take too much effort! Ha!

So, don't look too closely (yes, I have a line on my nose where my reading glasses sit.  no, I don't have any make up on, and yes, this is one of those "I got my crabs at Dirty Dick's tshirts"!)

Today, I think I will just relax and enjoy another day off!  This one, however, is one of those "I have nowhere to go, because I'm not driving in this stuff" days off.  I'm not sick, in the hospital, taking the parents to the dr., or even going grocery shopping (although I really should have gone to Aldi's last night....grrrr).

Today is a, Thank you Lord, for yet another day on this Earth!

 

I do have a crockpot full of chili.  The hubs is going to stop and get me a Strawberry Lemonade and a bag of Doritos (to eat with the chili). I've talked to my momma and daddy, my mother in law, and I've been texting my baby girl back and forth, I have been texting my baby boy and his beautiful wife about Shania, and I have texted/talked to all of my sisters.  I think, all in all, my day has been pretty amazing!

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Snow Day, and Enjoy yourself!!!

Monday's Musings

So, the whole idea of getting back into the blogging world kind of hit a wall. 

 

On Wednesday, I took my sister, momma, and daddy to Dad's dr appt in St. Louis.  We had a lot of fun!  It wasn't what I would call a STRESSFUL day, but there were some decisions Daddy had to make about his health - dialysis or not.  Didn't get back until later in the evening, and had a lot on my mind - still not stressing, but didn't get around to blogging.  Thankfully, we weren't in school on Wednesday, so I didn't have to have a sub! Yay!!  We did get the info that school would be back in session on Thursday, so my snowcation came to an end. Boo!

Little did I know, that I wouldn't go to school on Thursday, or Friday for that matter.  I woke up Thursday at 4:30 am, and ended up going to the ER with, what felt like a heart attack, but couldn't possibly be one, BECAUSE I'M TOO YOUNG!!!!

Well, folks, I'm here to say, I'm not too young!  I had a heart attack!  At age 47!  I am not a smoker, I just lost several lbs (50), I don't exercise too much (but I do some), and I'm pretty healthy!  So, why in the world did this happen?  Who knows, but much to my dismay, I am now in the category of Heart Patient.  The good thing is, I don't have to make too much of a lifestyle change!  Mainly just watching that sodium, and getting a little more exercise than I normally do!  The biggest change that this girl is going to make?  Appreciate everything, and don't sweat the small stuff!  

Am I scared it will happen again?  Yep.  Every twinge, every odd pain, every minute, every day.  However, I do know that as I was preparing to have the angiogram, and being wheeled into the procedure room, I said, "Lord, this is all in your hands, I'm giving it all to You!"  I felt such a peace when I scooted over onto that table, and I already knew I had complete faith in Dr. Beck, so what more could I ask for? 

And Another I couldn't resist!

Here's to more blogging, less stressing, and a whole lot more Peace in my Heart!  Thanks for stopping by!
