Note:

I have been blogging on my myspace account, but need something others may have access to. So here are a couple of the initial posts:

What To Do Now?

OK, so I am not a writer by nature - I can't spell, and grammer seems beyond my natural abilities (but I am getting better :) ). So why do this? I am not sure, except I enjoy reading other ramblings.
Life is not so interesting right now. I am trying to find work, which is depressing. I need to clean and organize this house, but that is not interesting to me at all. I would like to organize my crafting room/sewing room/guest room/office, but that will take cash, which is in short supply when you have no job. Thank the Lord that our home and utilities are provided for us, so we won't be homeless, hungry, or in the dark any time soon. Well, okay, we have been on a diet - (I have lost 30lbs, and Keith 40ish) so we do go hungry sometimes, but not often, and not because we don't have groceries in the house. I have been accepted into an MBA program, so some things are looking up - but again, with no cash flow, going may get difficult...
I am missing my family, missing Virginia, and longing for somewhere to go every single weekday. I have an interview next week, so pray for me, once I get somewhere to go every single weekday, then maybe I can get to VA and see the family!

Monday, Monday...

Monday is here - the beginning of another week.

Sunday was busy but uneventful - as Sunday's go. After church and the vestry meeting, we went to an open house in the neighborhood - just to look. The house was BEAUTIFUL - small, but beautiful. It was not even priced very high, especially since the owner has taken such good care of it. We also went to Molly's for lunch/dinner. It is such a good place, and I always get the same thing - Molly's Chimmichunga. It is filled with spinach, mushrooms, cream cheese and pecans. Delish!

I don't know how many of you know this, but we have had our extended families increase in the last couple of weeks - First Jasmine was born - just a wee little thing, but she seems to be pretty tough. She is the first child and daughter of my younger brother, David, and his then-girlfriend-now-wife. Then Natile was born the following Wednesday. She is the daughter of Keith's youngest sister, Betsy, and her husband, Kenny. She is also the little sister to Nick. After all of the excitment of Jasmines birth, David and Rachel were married at the courthouse since they couldn't make it to their Hawaii wedding. We have 2 more great-neices/nephews coming in the next 6 weeks or so.

I have been asked to write an article on my favorite scripture. I thought it would be an easy task, but it has turned out to be very difficult. Many of my favorite scriptures are my favorite becasue I know them in song, and those songs bring back memories of various times of my life. (Kandi - I know you know what I mean...) So I continue to search...

Overall, not a bad day. I am looking forward to my interview, and perhaps finding that special place to go every day at 7:30 a.m. :)

From here on out, I will post the same things on both blogs! OK, it is now 8/26, and I have realized that this is diffcult to do. So, I will try to post the same thing on both blogs, but this is NO LONGER A PROMISE! - sorry folks...

I amy sorry that your impressions of Memphis have been colored by some of the major problems we have in the city but am very grateful that you and Fr. Keith have been kept safe. No wonder you look with such favor on VA. However, we are blessed to have you with us.
I hope that by the time you read this, you will have some place to go every day.
