I'm crazy about a lot of things: my family, my job, my hobbies, my life, but most importantly, my God. I'm not quite certifiably crazy, but it's only a matter of time.

Company Girl Coffee ~ 9/17/10
I've just launched something exciting (well, exciting to me!) - a new cooking blog! I've been working on compiling a simple cookbook for my daughters, but have decided to put it on a blog for now. It's just what it says it is: Cooking 4 (the "for" was taken!) Newbies. You will not find anything gourmet, but you will find some simple, budget-friendly recipes that will feed you a little better than boxed mac & cheese (no offense to the orange powdered cheese) and oriental noodles (delicious at times, but not every night!). Stop by - the first recipe will be posted next week! http://cooking4newbies.blogspot.com/
On that note, it's time to stop blogging and get back to work! Have a blessed weekend!

Company Girls Coffee ~ 9/10/10
Yesterday I had grand intentions. My list included: finish a work project, make dinner, and clean my desk. Any guess which one didn't get finished? Yup, the desk. Here are my before and during pictures. Maybe next week we'll have a finished picture!
As we go into the weekend and the 9th anniversary of such a tragic event for our country, the same day is also my husband's birthday. While we will remember the lives lost on 9-11, we will also celebrate. I refuse to allow a terrorist act to ruin my life. God is in control and I will trust Him for my days!
Thanks for stopping by ... have a blessed weekend!

Company Girl Coffee ~ 4-9-10
Welcome! Thanks for stopping by, Company Girls! I’ve got virtual vanilla cappuccinos going today – grab a mug! If you’ve been following along this week, there have been some great tasks assigned to lead to building sanctuary in our homes. I was able to stay on task for the entire month of March (‘whew!) and have to say that it made a huge difference in my home and my attitude towards it. There are times my house just feels impossible. I have a husband who is a wonderful provider, but he has never turned a light switch off in his life, he’s notorious for having several cups ‘going’ because he can’t remember which is his, and he thinks the dining room table is an extension of his desk. It is easy to feel like a martyr, but when I change my heart and attitude toward creating sanctuary, these ‘flaws’ bother me less and less. (Well, except the light switch thing – really – how hard is it to turn it off?! LOL)
I have been buried in work projects and am trying to get much done before a Hawaiian vacation we have scheduled very soon…so it’s time to finish my cappuccino and get back to work. Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!
Praying today for: Kate McRae, a precious 5 year old fighting brain cancer

Company Girl Coffee ~ 3-19-2010
Welcome! Where did this week go? I hope it has been a good one for each of you! As I write this, Thursday night, I keep thinking it is Tuesday. On the other hand, it’s been productive over at Home Sanctuary. For my own accountability, I am trying to show before and after pictures of one project each week. Now, in reality, it looks much better than my cell phone pictures show, and I tossed quite a bit. Any takers on the 8 year old jar of curry, only used once? I got this in my email. While I’ve seen it before, I thought I’d share it here. I love BibleGateway, but eSword is a new favorite. | |||
