Thanks to all of you who left encouraging comments and sent emails in response to my post on Friday. I just love my bloggy friends!!! My original post for today is below, but I just wanted to let you know that we had an awesome weekend and that God in His infinite wisdom is still on His throne. I do know that, but it is awesome to be surround by friends that will remind me of that when my sight gets cloudy. I am starting a new habit of praying for each of you at night. I am just going to go straight down my comment list and pray for you by name. Blessings to you all. God is Good, and that never changes.

Kisses,

Today I am supposed to post on something that will make your life easier. Well, I’m not sure yet about this one, but I’m hoping to see if it helps me keep in touch with my friends & family. Besides, several people have asked me what “Twitter” is. I’m probably not the best person to answer because I just can’t seem to figure it out for myself. Actually, I’ve figured it out, but I don’t have anyone to Twitter to that is on Twitter. Never mind me, let me tell you what Twitter says Twitter is:

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send “updates” (or “tweets”; text-based posts, up to 140 characters long) to the Twitter website, via short message service (SMS), instant messaging, or a third-party application such as Twitterrific or Facebook.

Updates are displayed on the user’s profile page and instantly delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. The sender can restrict delivery to those in his or her circle of friends (delivery to everyone is the default). Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, instant messaging, SMS, RSS, email or through an application. For SMS, four gateway numbers are currently available: short codes for the United States, Canada, and India, as well as a United Kingdom number for international use. Several third parties offer posting and receiving updates via email.

Sooooo, if you want to Twitter with me and keep in touch throughout the day, click on the link under my Twitter box and I’ll send you a tweet now and then.

Kisses

This weekend was unbelievably busy and it had absolutely nothing to do with Mother’s Day. My youngest daughter dances for Dayton Ballet Jr. Company and every year on Mother’s Day, the have their end of the year show. This show is extremely important because it happens to also be their only public show all year. They only other time they get to perform is when they get small parts in the professional ballets during the regular season or when they are doing demonstrations at the schools in the area. Anyway, they have to be at the theater at 10am to do an hour and 1/2 warm up class downtown before they have to be picked up and taken to where they are performing. They have to cram down their lunch and do their hair and makeup in the car on the way. Not to mention the family running to church, slipping out early and then after the performance taking my mother out for dinner, then off to the company party. A few days last week she had two school demonstrations in the same day at two different schools before noon….then we had an end of the year co-op party. Of coarse you also know that the word party means that I had to take a salad and desert. Life is busy.

As a Mary Kay babe, I am like a walking billboard. I don’t say that because I think I am so awesome looking, I just say that because it is my business and I can’t afford to be caught with my hair up in a wad, with sweats on and no makeup. No matter how busy I am, I have to pull it off some how. When I am in a hurry getting everyone else together and I am not left with a lot of time for myself, I just simplify. Pony tails are back in; either obviously messy or very neat & sleek. No time for sleek so pull it back soft and messy.

I personally can’t find my leather pants…..whatever! So I am sure to have a pair of cute trouser jeans and cute heals or flats to toss on when we’re in a hurry. Luckily t-shirts, tanks and jackets are in. Make sure they are layered and long enough and you will always have a quick easy cute outfit to put on when you have to take off out of the house.

As far as make-up goes……check this out….quick, easy, and fabulous.

Even if it is a Manic Monday, look awesome, love life, and be a good steward of what you have been blessed with!
