Money! Money! Money!

I wanted to do two things with this entry. 1) You will not be getting another installment for Dreamcatcher's Destiny for awhile because I have never finished writing the story and thats as far as I had gotten. So since I have dug it out of hiding I guess I will now have to finish it.2) This is in answer to Sara's blog where she talked about what she would do if she had millions of dollars and asked what everyone else would do. Since the comment section is limited I decided I would just write it here.I would do alot of things. First and foremost, I would pay off all of my bills, my parents bills and my best friend Heather's bills to save her from bankruptcy. I would donate a very large amount to my church so that we could build our own building, and an obscene amount to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo so that they could do even more then they are trying. Its hard to operate a zoo on donations alone and they have done a fantastic job of it considering the obstacles they have. Next I would buy us a bigger, newer house (not too big though) and have the yard professionally done. I would decide the decorations for the inside, then hire someone to do it. I would buy my husband his monster truck that he always wanted, and I would buy me a 1975 camaro, have it restored to perfect condition, etc. I would also buy an 80's monte carlo and have it restored. I would also put my son in a good, private christian school. I would hire a horse trainer for my mom so she can work with her ponies, and I would buy two horses, one for me and one for Tom so we can go horseback riding. My mom already has a horse for AJ so the three of us could go. I would make investments and put money back for savings so that we could have money to live off of for the rest of our lives whether we decided to work or not. I would set up a college fund for my son and any other children we may have. I also would really like to look into adopting some children from Africa. I would also use some of the money to open my store and to help Heather get her catering business off the ground.AAhhhh the things we could do if only. But it keeps bringing me back to Julie's devo yesterday that we need to be content with where we are at before the Lord will take us higher.Now....what would you do? Isn't it fun to dream?!

What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

Ever wonder why someone came up with the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I have lost count the number of times I have been asked that question. Its interesting that as kids we dreamed big and believed in our dreams. I don't think I have ever heard someone answer that question saying I want to work in a call center. I had big plans and dreams when I was a kid, then reality of the working world struck. Then the dreams came back when I was in college earning my oh so important associates degree. I was so sure that would take me far. Even now when I think about what I want to be, I have a never ending well of ideas and plans but nothing ever takes shape. Instead I go to work hoping to make ends meet each payday and wishing I didn't dislike my job as much as I do. Oh well, I must be patient because in the end I know it will work out beyond my wildest dreams. Although some mornings I get up wishing I had taken the safe route and gotten my teac...

Part 2

It wasn't fair, why did Lucy have to have such a gorgeous brother. He was about 5'9" with jet black hair and eyes the color of chocolate. He had the kind of body that just begged to be looked at, and that wrangler butt was an entity all its own. How was he going to show Lucy and her that they could be good for each other? It wasn't Tess's fault Lucy had woke up late and missed the auction, but Lucy could hold a serious grudge when she convinced herself that she had been wronged. Instead of being mad at Tess for getting a horse of a lifetime, she should be glad that he is still within her circle. She should become friends with Tess, after all they seem to be a lot alike. They both turn heads, Lucy with her black hair and green eyes, and Tess with her red hair and striking sky blue eyes. Not to mention they are both a couple of spitfires, more then an average man can handle. His momma was the same way though, so his daddy raised him to know how to handle wo...

Why?

I sometimes wonder why God created fat people. I have struggled with my weight all my life and know of lots of people that have too. What advantages are there to it? You have to pay more money for bigger clothes that are harder to find and don't necessarily look like what everyone else is wearing. You can't sit comfortably in movie theaters, amusement rides(some rides you can't even get on), airplanes, etc, etc. Probably the most annoying thing about it is the teenagers and young people that feel it is their job to point out how gross you are compared to the general public and they do it in a loud obnoxious way so as to draw attention to themselves. Most days I can feel pretty good about myself when I look in the mirror. I can say I am kind, good hearted, intelligent, funny, and do anything for those I love. But somedays I sit and daydream of the things I could accomplish if only I were thin. I don't even have to be super thin like the models....I would be happ...
