Eye Update

Eye Update .....

Hello everyone... this is going to be quick and fast....!

I am sorry I have a busy week and alot going on. Getting ready for the garage sale this weekend as well as several other things going on in my life right now.
Well yesterday I left work a bit early to get to my eye appointment.
It was good and bad news again. Good news.. my vision is fine ( which I knew ) I don't have problems seeing. Although I think secretly my hubby was wishing I needed glass's, like he did about this time last year. So that is excellent news.
The kinda bad or not soo good part of the news is that ..... just like they expected.. I do have the start of Diabetic Retinopathy. ( Which means the back blood vessels in your eyes get weak and you can get blood gathering and such and you will have to get laser surgery to correct. If you do not have the surgery then if the pocket leaks or blows up you could go blind ) So.. they are going to watch my eyes very closely and I need to go and see them every six months... for how long ??? I don't know... maybe forever....! But it is just in the start of things.
Also GOOD news, at least we know now and I am under the care of someone...rather then waiting and then all the sudden they tell me I need Laser surgery all at once.
I will need to try and pay close attention to my eyes. Because My Father had this as well..but much later in life. So I am about 20 earlier in life then he was with this same problem!
All will be fine... I just need to take care of my Blood sugars and my Blood pressure !
That's about it. I have to run...

Just a few days left...before the weekend is here....... YIPPY !!!

Saturday Fun !!!

Soooo it was a busy day..... and it was fun.

Lori , Michelle and I all went to spent the day together having fun and stamping and doing crafts....

My blog post today is all about pictures and I have alot of them ! So enjoy ...

Here is a few cards that I did... while it was not a productive day it was a fun one and I needed that....

This card I used my punch from Stampin' Up !
Then Lori found a Stampin' Up Sale by a bunch of demonstrators and they where getting rid of their stamps...alot of them where brand new.. and less then 10.00 each. What a steal. Not tax, no shipping.. just the price.. for brand new stamps... We where in heaven... here is a great set I can use with my tag punch. It will be perfect...

Here is a great word set !Okay sooo Lori just loves my Cuttlebug and here is a card she made with it. Totallly cute !

Look at this adorable tin that was on display at the stamp sale.
Here is Lori and her card. I did also take a pic of Michelle..but she was shy about her pic being on my blog so I didn't add it.

Here is my new bag to tote all my items I need to go and play with my friends. It worked great yesterday and it was a steal from Costco...

There is ALOT more room in there then it looks like..

Here is another stamp set I got..brand new and can be used for sooo many different things.

This set is going to ROCK for scrapbooking......

Over all is was a great day... we have fun and got some great things and went to lunch and chatted and had some girl/craft time....

Doing Good !

Doing Good...

The numbers are growing and there are sooo many in need !

Do you know the local food shelf demand has grown 40% from this time last year. People are in need, of so many things.

Each year I take part in donating at least one bag plum full of goods to the local food shelf. I took some things from my shelves and bought a few other things and I am going to give them so I am helping fill the shelves in the Food Shelf. Yes I am only one person and 1 bag..but when everyone gives a bag.. it adds up to be alot of food for people who really need it.

We are doing this at work.. so if friends or family want to donate.. I can take it in to work with me and add it to the big box we have.

Here is a pic of the bag before.....
Here is a pic of the bag plum full to the top. This is one way each year I choose to 'give back' who knows one day when we or someone we know might need a food shelf.
If you don't have a place.. you can go online and find a local food shelf and drop off food there. They would LOVE to take anything you are willing to give.

It does not have to be all food either. It can be kleenex, shampo's, soaps, fabric soap, dish soap, paper products, diapers for babies, baby wipes, baby food, water, anything.... Think of what a few dollar can do for someone else.

Think about giving today !

LCR

LCR ... have you ever heard of it... some have and some haven't !

These are two pic's of the game... it is a dice game.... I recently got it...
It is a simple and fun dice game. They can be found at local Toy stores I am told. However Target and Walmart do not sell it.

My co - worker ordered us all one for only 5.00 each. Games usually are not cheap and so for 5.00 it is a great game for a great price!

I just wanted to share it with everyone.... incase you are eve3r interested in getting one.. it is fun for most ages...

It is finally here ......

It is finally here... I ordered this book over a month ago and have been waiting patiently for it. I think it was lost in the mail. We have always had issues with our mail here and so I rarely order things through the mail because of this factor. We always get the wrong mail and often packages that are not for us. I am wondering if someone got my book before I did. Since it had to be shipped again and I did not get it... but NOW IT is Here....
If you know me at all... or you might be able to pick up from my blog... I am not a reader.. just never got into books much. To be honest... I really don't seem to find the time. When I do have some down time here or there.. I usually use it to scrapbook or stamp. The rest of my time seems to be consumed with projects and chores inside and outside of the house when I am not working full time.

We always seem to have ALOT going on ..most of the time....

But for years I have heard Gary Spivey on a local radio station. I have always been interested in his psychic abilities and find it intriguing. So after visiting his website at www.garyspivey.com... and listening to some of the people on there.. I thought I would buy his book and see what it could do for me and possibly the info I could share with my friends and family as well.

One part talks and deals with Angels and that is also something that I have always been curious about as well.

We have sooo much bad in this world... and some many negative things all the time. Besides the stress's of work and every day living. A little positive and insight could only be but a good thing to bring into my life.

So this weekend my to do list... is just that a list. With little accomplished on it. But instead of feeling good about all the things I accomplished this long holiday weekend. I took the time to get some rest, have some fun, spend some quality time with my Hubby, and....read some of my new exciting book that arrived this Friday when I returned home from work. It was almost as if the timing was perfect. I had a 3 day weekend to really DIG into the book and read some very interesting...intriguing info and be enlightened at the same time.

One more day off and I am thrilled to have a extra day off of work.

I hope you are all safe and enjoying your long holiday weekend as well.

Quote for the day....

( Picture taken out our local state fair )

This is funny... I wanted to give you all a laugh this weekend...

Whatever you give a woman, she's going to multiply. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So - if you give her crap, you will get a bucket full of shit.
