I SURE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE TIME TO CONTRIBUTE TO MY OWN BLOG!

When I started this blog, it was because I had so many thoughts and stories swirling around in my head all the time, that I wanted to put down in writing. I have already mentioned that I do most of my thinking when it is really not a good time to take a moment and jot ideas down. You, know, like when I'm driving, standing in line at a check out. Places like that.

It seems that ever since I started this blog I have been too busy to use it as I would like. As much as I enjoy a good ole "Wordless Wednesday" on other blogs, I had actually started to use it as a crutch to get a blog in quickly, when there was no time to write what I wanted to really write.

When last Wednesday rolled around, and it had been a week since my last post, I almost decided to do a Wordless Wednesday. But--I felt like I shouldn't do that, since I knew the rest of the week would pretty much be wordless and picture-less! I had been very busy for well over a week and knew there was going to be even less writing time in the near future.

My activities began when I helped sort through more clothes than are in the entire mall, for a yard sale held at my church the Saturday before Memorial Day. It was to raise money for mission trips. I worked about 3 hours after work on a couple of nights sorting through the good, the bad, and the downright ugly! I mean it--some of that stuff needed to be put out of circulation! I would have LOVED for Stacey & Clinton (What not to Wear) to be there and give their thoughts on some of the items I sorted through. Some items were really nice though---- with price tags still on them. Nice name brand items----but never anything in my size. Sigh.

Then, family started rolling in that weekend to prepare for my niece's wedding the following weekend. It was an outdoor wedding, and the family of both the bride and groom pitched in their time and efforts to make the chosen outdoor location "wedding ready" within a week's time.

The Friday evening wedding turned out wonderfully, and then Saturday I had to tend to my own neglected yard and take care of some errands. Yesterday, after the privilege of having my brother visit my Sunday school class to share about his missions work, the family got together at my mom's house for a big shrimp boil to celebrate my aunt's birthday. Later in the evening, to round out the eventful, family filled week, some of my family headed out with me to watch our minor league baseball team, The Montgomery Biscuits, play some ball.

I stayed up late visiting with my brother last night, then had to get up at 4:00am to have him at the airport by 5:30am. Whew, I am exhausted! Like a friend of mine told me this morning, It will probably take me till Wednesday to rest up and realize how much fun I've been having!

Hey.......Wednesday....... Hmm-----Maybe by then I will have some pictures ready to post of all my recent activities. Sounds like a good idea for Wordless Wednesday!
