Where Have You Been?

Well, I've had a nasty cold.  It hit me harder than I wanted to admit.  Eventually, I had to lay down.  I got back up today even though I have sinus pain shooting into my teeth if I walk too fast.  And as many of you know, I am not one to saunter. So, it's been painful.
Other random thoughts...
*On Sunday we celebrated my Mom's 75th birthday with turkey dinner and cupcakes at our house.  I didn't take any pictures, I had a head cold and couldn't think.
*I finally made it to Paper Zone for their closing (WHAAaaaa) sale.  There isn't any paper left but I did score some ribbon and was happy about that little purchase.  I love me some ribbon.
*I went to a luncheon today and was blessed by the good company of amazing women.  Good people out there!  It made my heart happy.
*Hubby and I are not on the same schedule or even in the same city this week and some of next.  I don't like, I don't like it at all.  I miss that guy.
*There is finally SNOW in the forecast and I am on my knees hopin' and prayin' we get dumped on, big time.
*I took down all of our Christmas decorations and then I stopped.  I like the sparse, bare look and so I haven't put the regular decor back up.  And I'm okay with it.
*I have something heavy on my heart this week.  Rejoice in your hope, be patient in your tribulation, and be constant in prayer. Romans 12:12.  I say this verse to myself all the time.  It helps.
*Today I went to Lowes to buy curtain hooks, it seems that we purchased curtains hooks and then promptly lost them or accidentally threw them in the trash.  Does anyone else do that?  Last year I believe I tossed in the garbage a really cute little jacket that I had purchased to wear in Hawaii.  Not on purpose! geez
*My guys and Jess and I are playing Words With Friends and it is fun to stay connected that way.  Next week I won't have a head cold and then I'm going to beat them.
*Have a nice weekend and I hope you don't get this stinkin' head cold.

I'm sorry you're feeling so puny. I love that word and am glad I got to use it although it was at your expense. sorry.
I found 2 more Christmas pictures...not the same size...darn.
Sorry you and Fred are two ships passing in the night. I'm here if you need company. I'm always here.
Can't wait to see your pretty ribbon and what you use it for.
I'm taking down my Christmas once it snows. yes, I'm holding out, much to my dismay!!
Praying for your heavy heart. I read in my devotional yesterday how God is already setting the answer to our prayers in motion before we even know what the question is. I find that quite comforting. Hope you do too!

Boo for not feeling well. :( Hope you're back to your fast-walkin' self very soon.
I understand the part about not being in the same city as the hub... mine goes away for 3 weeks at a time for work. It's not fun, but you two will REALLY appreciate each other once your schedules get back in sync again. Until then... hang in there. I know it stinks.
Romans 12:12... oh, how I love that verse! It was one of our "wedding verses", and has been such an important part of our marriage. Each part of it has special meaning to us at different times. Praying for you heart, friend.
