hallelujah!!!

guess what's coming???? i'm super duper excited....
yep...i ordered meself a mixer! a kitchen aid one to be exact!!
i'm not one for black friday shopping, but while at the in
-laws i noticed a good deal on the basic kitchen aid mixer at sears today. it was marked down to $149. good deal right? atleast, please tell me it is. so i decided i'd make the early morning treck. this sale only lasted until 11 am and ti would be alteast a 50 minute drive there.
but then i started looking through kohl's ads....they had the same mixer priced at $199. but this then had an additional 15% off, plus $30 back in kohl's cash. well the 15% alone dropped the price comparable to sears. plus we have $50 kohl's gift card i could use....and I could get all the deals on line today! now, the only bad part is i'm not coming home with it and have to wait on shipping - which was free today if i ordered over $100.
so for $100 i got my kitchen aid mixer.....can you hear me singing hallelujah!! my hubby even seems excited - probably because i told him i'd make more breads, cookies, and i think he is tired of listening to my antics when i'm using my blasted, stupid hand mixer!!
i do think it will be fitting for my new kitchen in my new to me old farmhouse on sycamore hill!!!
sadly, i could only get white - but atleast it will match my other appliances!!!!! oh i can't wait, i can't wait, i can't wait!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!!!!!

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
