Tumbling out of my mind

Time to dump some of the items in my brain to make room for the Christmas thoughts. Believe it or not I am hidden in the library so I cannot be found by Mr. Tibbs. (is that pitiful or what)?

My newest compulsion is Dave Ramsey. I am reading his books, listening to his show, and subscribing to his website. What do others think of him? I like the idea of getting debt free, but maybe not to the extent that he teaches.

So, let me ask, what type of left overs are your favorite for thanksgiving? I myself love: turkey, Best Foods mayo (Hellman's east of the Rockies) and white bread, no not the white wheat bread, I mean White, squashy, bad for you Wonder Bread (the old kind, but not moldy old just politically incorrect non wheat or seed or flax bread). And please KEEP THE CRUST ON.

How many of you cooked their first turkey with the neck and gizzards still inside? What was your best Thanksgiving (ours was when the 3 business men from China came to observe their first Thanksgiving dinner) they were Communist (one very high up in the party) and we taught them to play the card game Pit (they made great capitalist). They heard their first prayer and tasted their first pumpkin pie.

I like to think that when they read about Thanksgiving, they remember us.

Blessings to you all on the day of Thanks (funny that we need an official day of thanks).
Oh, just a little pat on the back, I earned my ATM Bronze award in Toastmasters. Only took 22 years but it was worth it.

Love to all, thanks for listening.

Wow, someone asked me what was happening with my blog! So exciting that people actually ready it (of course I know you do AK, you are blogger extrodinaire).

Here is what is tumbling out my mind today. Yesterday my church had a women's conference called What Not To Wear. Very fun, very enjoyable. However, I couldn't help sharing with some of my friends there that I didn't really want to listen to the speaker even though she is fantastic.

My fear was that I would realize that chosing your clothes to put on each day on the basis of whether or not they need ironing, and carrying purses based not on whether the size of the purse was right for your body build but on if it had been given to you free from your business, I would pull out the plastic (out of the fake leather purse that is also plastic) and go on a shopping spree.

Up to now the way that I have shopped is to find a friend who spends lots of money on her clothes, is the same size as me, and talk her into losing weight. It really has worked (I have lovely winter coats from friends who are now size 6).

Of course I myself am forced into staying my size but such is the price for lovely clothes, hang on, I need to check out the left over Halloween candy! lol.

The think that took my breath away today was while I was walking Mr. Tibbs and thinking about this blog, I came across a beautiful tree whose leafs have changed. Now that tree had no problem know what to wear. Dressed by our Maker, it was beautiful and a reminder to me that the beauty inside is always more important then the clothes, however, maybe someday I will give up the Mary Kay logo purses and check out a Coach bag. Naaaaaa, I'll never do that.

Comments? Ideas? If you went to the conference, please post comments about what you thought. Kristin Z, you may never look at my blog but sister, you did a wonderful job on the conference and I see jewels in your crown one day!

Love and kisses from our house to yours!
