I was laughing this morning because you know the Lord always makes you do things you are not so good at doing. For example, I am really bad about writing thank you notes when people do something very nice. I will call them, or email them but to put that pen to a card is sometimes difficult for me.Well since my surgery I have been blessed by so many people that everyday I have been writing thank you cards. There are some sweet wonderful ladies in my Sunday School group that have been making dinner for my family about once a week. My husband is about to leave me and move in with them, because he has never been feed so well. Well yesterday they made me dinner again, and I realized I still had not got the thank you card in the mail from the week before. (guilt. guilt.) I can see the Lord chuckling at me, saying “girl if there is something you are not good at, the best thing to do is do it a lot!”. HA!
Oh and also I am pouting a little bit (just a little) but tomorrow is my birthday and I can not eat any of my favorite cheesecake. I am officially over the half way mark of my 30′s and I can not begin to tell you how that depresses me. Can I please just stay this age? And this is the age I will be when I can offically say “I have a teenager” (early part of next year).
I told my sister I can not wrap my brain around the idea that at 36 I can say “I have a teenager too.” Wasn’t it just yesterday I was changing diapers, getting up in the middle of the night?
Well in honor of my birthday I will let you ask me up to 36 questions of anything you want to know about me or my walk with the Lord. Leave the questions in the comments section, or email me. I will keep you anonymous if you want (let me know by email). Nothing super personal, but anything goes. But hopefully some people will join in, so I don’t feel alone =) I will post the questions and answers sometime tomorrow. Oh and could you eat some cake tomorrow for me?
Blessings
*Chuckle* Are you ever one brave woman throwing that out there! Okay let’s see? What is your idea, if no holds barred allowed, what is the ideal date with your hubby?
Just a thought but could you not get a cheesequake blizzard and let it melt a bit, blend it again so the chunks of cheesecake were drinkable through a straw? Or take your cheesecake and blend it up with milk until drinkable through a straw? You won’t get the texture fix but you’ll get the taste fix.
HA! Great minds DO think alike, eh?
Okay, here goes…
What is your most favorite comfort food?
Oh, be happy about being 36! The 30′s are wonderful. And believe me, 36 isn’t old. Good grief. I just realized I’m 20 years older than you and I don’t feel old yet! You’re a baby!
How awful you can’t eat your birthday cake. Just a couple more weeks, right? And Susanne’s idea is a great one. Liquid bd cake is better than no bd cake. Cheesecake tastes wonderful in any form, right?
OK. The question. Hmmmmm. Well, heck I can’t really think of one so I’ll try this one. Do you dread turning 40? I sooo hope not. Turning 40 is wonderful. You really get to feel like a grownup then. And guess what? It’s still very, very young.
You know I can’t follow directions, so I’m asking you what I asked Mel at Actual Untouched Photo.
What one moment in parenting do you really wish that you had a do-over?
Knowing your kids as they are right now, what do you think they’ll be doing as a career in their future?
What is your most proud (in a good sense) moment as a Christian- something that you feel that God looked at your doing and smiled?
What’s your favorite color? Mine’s “blue– NO! RED!! Ahhhhh….” (Name the movie and you win one of the donut holes I’m eating. I, of course, will eat it in your honor.)
And you had better report that 36 is no different from 35 because that’s my next stopping point too. Think of how luscious that cheesecake will taste when you get your bands off. Ahhh. Like a slice of heaven.
BTW, I don’t have any donut holes now; this is what I get for not proofreading. But if you name the movie, I will honor that promise and personally go and select a donut to eat just for you.
Now that’s friendship.
My hubby just turned 36 and he survived.
Happy Birthday!!!! (I am saying it now incase things get hectic an I can’t do it tomorrow. )
A question? I am really bad at questions which is why I am a poor conversationalist, the questions I ask have usually already been answered and I wasn’t paying attention or are things the other person had never even thought about and can’t answer. At first I thoguht you were saying that we each should ask 36 questions!!!!
Question: What writer has most influenced you in your walk with Christ? What person in general has been your best mentor?
You’re just a baby, Laurel Wreath! I am 10 years older than you!
You know what my being older means, don’t you? That I can tell you what to do. (It works with my sister, so why not you?)
And since I’m just in time for the question-asking:
What is your earliest memory?
I thought you were off your medication (he he)…such a brave one you are…now here’s a thought…when you turn my age I will be 68…and prayerfully still having as many grins and giggles as I do now….so here’s my question:
What is your favorite fiction book and your favorite non-fiction book, excluding The Bible?
Is that too conservative for you?
Okay, when I turned 36 I wanted to do a complete makeover. If you could dispose of your current wardrobe what would be the first item you would replace it with…something that says …this is me, 36 and lovin’ it!!
LOVE THIS!!!!!!
first and most importantly… Happy early b-day!
my questions…
If you could give some advice for a new mom of a son.. what would it be?!?
I wanted to ask you this question because you are such a wonderful person and wonderful mom… and I would LOVE to know some of your secrets
I know it’s not the same- but Sonic has a strawberry cheesecake milkshake now.
I turn 36 this year, too! :>)
What are your hobbies?
Any instruments you play?
Happy Birthday, Lori!!!
I am so sorry about the cheesecake. I’m with Susanne, though – there’s got to be a way for you to at least get the taste of it on your birthday!
Okay, a question (if I’m not too late): From one “boy mom” to another — what is the best thing about having boys?
Happy birthday (but I’m late, I think). Here’s a question: How’d you meet your husband?
