Photo courtesy of www.lovelywhatevers.blogspot.com Today will be another warm day here in Georgia. I don't mind the warmth it's the humidity that gets ya. My husband and I joke that although he sells far-infrared saunas we can just go outside for about 1/2 hr and have the same effect! I just wanted to tell y'all why I picked this picture. As some of you know my family, for now, lives in an apartment. I try to make our apartment feel as homey as possible, but it isn't a house with a front porch. So, I go out some nights, when it isn't sweltering, and sit on the sidewalk, which is known as Farrah's porch in the building. This is important to make your home wherever you live. Today Bryson (10 yr old) has swimming lessons and then I have water aerobics. While Bryson has his lessons I have to run to a chiropractor's in town to get our milk and eggs. Isn't it sad that in order to get healthy milk and eggs the truck has to park behind a tree? I tell my husband it's like their selling moonshine, not milk! After water aerobics, Bryson and I will run to Trader Joe's. I've tried to go without getting groceries this week because we are trying to pay down the credit card from vacation. However, we are out of a couple of things that I think I can get by with only $20 and that's all I'm taking. So, with the dairy and the $20 I will spend only $40 this week in groceries. That $150 will go towards the AmEx. Next week will be my Whole Foods meat visit and that will be costly. As soon as we can we are going to purchase 40# in grass fed ground beef from Riverview Farms. They have a deal if you buy in bulk. I'm trying to find a deal for chicken breasts/tenders and bacon that are grass fed. Let me know if y'all know of any. Nick (14 yr old) just called from his friends house and they stayed up all night recording and writing songs. This is Nick's new obsession-screaming. Yes, you heard me, screaming. His band is a Christian version of Ozzy Osbourne. I have no clue what they are saying until he reads me the words, and yes it gives me a headache. However, there are some bands like The Devil Wears Prada and Norma Jean who really touch kids lives and teach them the gospel through the type of music they like to hear. So, if this makes him happy and he isn't doing anything wrong I guess go for it. Their band is featured on MySpace called My Chains are Broken if you want to hear. A book I've been reading is called A Legacy of Love by Ruth Graham, the daughter of Billy and Ruth Graham. It's about the relationship between this Mother and Daughter. If you haven't then please pick up this book. I spent the whole time in my bathtub last night reading and crying because it was so moving. Well, I need to go make breakfast for Bry. Then we have to take off. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Blessings, ~Farrah |
