150TH POST

Thank you ladies for your comments last night I won't give up blogging just yet.
I had 4 questions asked so here are the answers:

WARNING!!!! THIS WILL BE A LONG POST!!!


Mrs. S Asks: If I could travel anywhere in the world where would it be?
Without a doubt Italy I'd love to visit the beginnings of our culture and all the beautiful architecture in Rome and Italian is such a beautiful language I could sit around all day and listen to people speak it and be mesmerized.

Chelsie asks: How did you and your hubby meet?
Our meeting was totally fate I tell you. After I came home to take care of my mom from college I fell into a deep depression merely existing, going to work and coming home. I finally broke down sobbing and realized I needed God in my life in the worst way possible.

I had remembered passing this little church a few times on my way home from work and decided once I finally got a Sunday off I was going to go. Well that Sunday off came the very next week so I very bravely dressed for church drove down there, sat in my car for few minutes, took a deep breath opened the door got out of my car and shut the door and started walking towards the church. Suddenly I had an overwhelming sense of dread and started digging in my purse to get my keys to get back in my car and leave I frantically searched for about 5 minutes turned around and there were my keys sitting in the floor board of my car.

They had fallen out of my purse. I was forced to attend the service so afterwards I could ask someone to help me unlock my car. So I attended service and some of the nice gentlemen helped me unlock my car. I enjoyed the service so much I came back that night and met my now husband. I thought he was cute but he didn't talk to me over the next few months we talked and he'd ask me if I was going to be there on Christmas day I said yes but wasn't there apparently he'd worn a suit just for me :) Our relationship started out of him teasing me about not being at church on Christmas. We had our first date January 20, 2006 and were married 1 year and 10 months later to the day.

Chelsie also asks: What are my organization secret weapons?
To be honest I don't consider myself that organized and often find myself without something I need. But a few things I have learned over the years is that mornings are invaluable if you can get at least one big task for your day done before 8AM you're on your way to a great day. I carry a day planner and am meticulous about planning out my days down to the 30 minute increments. (this has been known to drive my husband batty) at the beginning of the day I sit down and identify the three most important tasks I need to accomplish and then if I get those things done I don't beat myself up if I don't get everything else done. Also in order to keep my home looking nice I usually try to do my chores as soon as I walk in the door after changing out of my work clothes. I try not to sit down and relax until it's all done or at least a large majority of it is. and I always make sure I make time to do the things I want to do not just the chores. Be wary of time wasters such as the internet and TV I set aside 30 minutes during the day and 1 hour at night for internet and TV time. That does not mean my TV is not on while I'm doing other things but in general I usually try not set in front of the TV too long if I do forget it my plans are out the window for the day.

my husbands asks: can I please read your blog? Yes honey you can just know that because you're actually a writer I get nervous when you read wondering if you think my writing is terrible or what you'll just have to get over that!

Since I didn't get that many questions I decided to do a survey like you would do for a Facebook or myspace but posts the results here.
