Hey Y'all, phew this weekend was busy as can be! Work was CRAZY! I worked the entire holiday weekend and I am exhausted. I am glad that is over, we have a few days of normal and then the first of the month hits and we are crazy again until about the 5th, oh well that is the life of retail. So how was your weekend? The weather is hot and humid already...you know how I feel about that...yuck! Teehee. So anyhow onto the good stuff :) This month I joined in the post card swap at Inspiration Avenue  this was my first swap there and I have loved doing this swap, it was a handmade postcard swap and we were to make and send 5 cards.  I hope my partners who are all over the world like them :) I am swapping with ladies in South Africa, England, and Australia...how cool is that! These are the cards I made.

Hey Y'all how are ya? The weather is heating up and the dreaded humidity is creeping in! YUCK!  I am very much a fall/winter person! How are things in your neighborhood? So I have had a few people ask me to show them my new do, while I was on vacation I got a hair cut and donated the length to Locks Of Love I have grown it out for about 3 years just to do the donation, plus Lee loved my hair long :) Yep he still is miffed about me cutting it, but oh well he will live...lol. So here in the first photo is how I have been wearing my hair for about 2 years, in a bun, twisted and clipped or in a pony tail. Here is all that hair down...  and here it is after cutting off 11 inches.  The curls bounced right back and the humidity frizzed it in about a second...lol My hair is naturally curly, but the weight of all the length pulled the curls just about out! So there you have it, the most exciting blog post ever....LMBO! BUT in all seriousness Locks Of L

What a week! We had some Internet issues...AGAIN! We had some pretty bad storms during the week and it disrupted the service, then we had a few other issues, but anyhoo  I am back...for now...LOL So lets see, Tuesday was the SS hearing and we did not get a decision from the judge, it will take two weeks to two months to find out what the judge decided...still praying on that! I got most of my vacation goals accomplished I spent a lot of time here in my  chair reading and sipping on Sweet Tea! In front of my little fire bowl Gazing up at the stars, talking to Jesus.

I did use the gift card Marcia sent me YAY! We were supposed to have dinner with my sister Laura and her husband, but Lee fell that mornin
