Monkeys and Cedar Trees

Hmmm............ What do I have to say today? I was asked to post everyday by one of my new blog readers BUT I don't have much to say to the public....that might be difficult to comprehend if you know me! :) So, I am supposed to be making hair accessories for this lady in our church who has started selling kids clothes. I am really excited! Anyhow...I have found a style of clothes I REALLY like. It's a cross between vintage, modern and funky. So would it be called Fundernage? Whatever! Used to when I went shopping I just bought what ever I found that fit okay and what everyone else thought was "in" but I have found that fashion is in one day and the next day it's out again so I might as well find a style I like and just run with it. :) A few weeks ago I was talking to a lady I know and she was critiquing someones style but yet her style is kind of older...which I am not putting down bc Vintage is coming back out and that was from years and years ago so one of these days what she is wearing will be in style again. :) People have different styles period. If we all had the same style and if we all looked alike this world would be a mighty boring place because it would just be a lot of the same person everywhere...scary, huh? :) We all have to try some risks in fashion one time or another...sometimes some people can go too far but thats their choice. So, if you are someone who is wanting to try something new but afraid of what others think....forget about them and TRY IT! If you are like me and depend on other peoples opinion...just ask them if they have any tips or suggestions for you to try and from there you can decide if you want to go for what they are suggesting or if you want to go with your gut feeling...most of the time your gut won't let you down (unless you are sick...well....you get the point!). ANYWAY......I will get off my soapbox now and maybe go shopping for a new wardrobe for the Fall/Winter! :) INSPIRATION!!!!! Gotta Love It! :)

Until next time.........

"...nothing but a hounddog...."

Well......I never could figure out how on earth to get a video posted and I didn't want to look like a dummy and ask for help....so I didn't and now I am telling the whole world (or a couple of people in the world) why I didn't ask for help. AND that didn't make any sense at all and I don't care! :) ANYHOW, I started a youtube account because I have several of videos I want to put up here and I couldn't figure out how to run the blogger one (didn't we just go through this?!). So, yeah! I have had a grand ol' time this month! Birthday parties, youth outings, church, musical practice, hanging out with friends, school, babysitting, making crafts, eating, sleeping, washing dishes, sweeping, cleaning, sneezing and the list goes on and on!!!!! :) So, here are a few pictures and I will be uploading videos later. Good day!

A couple of Sunday's ago every lady at our youth class was wearing some type of Black and White (except one)

Little Man's 1st bday

Natalie... Last Sunday evening at Spanish Service (i couldn't get her to look at me)

Alaina and I last night after the kids musical practice (and yes...that is a GIANT flower on my head... Jerry, don't be hatin'!) :)

Blog, blog, blog.......

Blogging takes FOREVER...unlike quick posts on Twitter and Face Book! Man, we live in a stop and go world....too much FAST food and not enough "turtle" cheesecake!!! :) Soooo.....some REALLY exciting things are happening at our church! We are looking to buy a mobile stage so we can go into the city, set up stage and have a FULL BLOWN SERVICE!!!!!! And, we also have serveral things set up for the Christmas season...like helping in a Soup Kitchen, Operation Christmas Child and volunteering at the local Salvation Army. I am so glad that the vision that God has blessed my Pastor with is becoming reality! God is doing AWESOME things in our youth group and in our 5 daughter works also! It is SUPER exciting! Anyhow, I thought I would bring everyone up to date on a peice of my life. :) Next post will probably be about our youth class and what we have been talking about on Sunday's. Stay tuned for more news, ramblings and pictures! :) Gooodnight and Happy St. Patrick's Day! :) =) ;)

Piano Fingers, Papers and Best Actress

2 Blogpost. Same day. Few minutes apart from each other. No, it's not a violation of the "blog law". Thanks for asking though! :) So last Sunday night after church Alaina, Natalie and I decided we had nothing to do sooo..........Natalie was going to play us a song on the piano and entertain us. She did just that! The girl is hilarious! Her fingers got all tangled up! I have a video but that will have to come later. :)

Then we got bored again SOOOO we decided to collect ALL of the papers that people had left at church and read them....#1 Tip if you don't want people reading the notes you write in church don't leave them there! :)....We found some pretty awesome (as in "crazy funny") papers! :) And we also got up in the choir risers and got our "special praise" on! :)

Where does the "Best Actress" come in? Well, we are doing a Chirtmas play called "It all happened in the Country" and Natalie plays the city girl (if you know Natalie you know that it fits her PERFECTLY!) This play is hilarious and I can't wait until we started on it (and about halfway through I will be ready to be done with it!) And I close this blog post on this note.........Friends are AWESOME even if they are 7 years younger than you! :)

Stress and Laughter

Hey EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!! I kind of spaced out a couple weeks ago after typing this. I thought I had posted it but realized I hadn't so y'all get to read about my crazy weekend that I had last weekend! I thought about just deleting it but......WHY IN THE WORLD would I want to do that?! I mean blogs are for telling people what ever you want them to know....and if you want to keep readers you have to tell them what they want to hear and you got to do it regularly (something I do NOT do). SOOOOO.....if you want people to read your blog give them something interesting to read (or pictures to look at...for the people who hate reading but love feeling important...and yes some people feel important because they read certain peoples blog). Anyhow enough rambling....here is the post bout my crazy weekend from last weekend! :)

August 26th/ Thursday-Picked up my little cousin so he could stay the night. Found out we had to make a grooms cake for a wedding the very next day.

(this is a veiw from the side of the cake because I didn't get anymore...and also I couldn't figure out how to rotate it so y'all will just have to turn your computer screen sideways to see it correctly) August 27th/Friday-Got up early and started on the cake. Got done about 2 hours before the wedding. Transported the cake in 101°F weather (it melted a bit). Got to the wedding and fixed hair and then helped serve afterwards (it was a night wedding). Went to a friends house after the wedding reception and helped them pack and move.

August 28th/Saturday-At 6:30 AM we got home from helping our friends move. Got up at 8:00 AM to go on a Sunday School Field Trip with all the little kids (some of us "older kids" went too). I was living on a couple (seemed like a few minutes) of sleep. We went to see "Alice and the Wonderland" in a local theater (it's kinda of small). The play was put on mostly by kids (there was 2 teenagers playing King and Queen). Well, since I was living off of a couple hours of sleep EVERYTHING was funny! I can't really explain what really happened, but there were 2 little boys pushing around ficus trees and pretending they were heavy and I cracked up! I was laughing so hard I was crying and everyone around was laughing at me because I was laughing which made me laugh even harder! Got home at about 3 pm and I went to bed and slept for FOREVER! :)

August 29th/Sunday-I got up at 7 am and went to youth prayer, then had youth class (and both was INCREDIBLY AWESOME), then we went back to the main church for our main service, had lunch, then back for some more awesome church and then it was time to go home.

Fairies and Lil' Alice :)

Hahaha! These girls were funny! Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum :)

BY THE WAY..... I hate (and I know hate is a strong word but I feel the need to use it in this case) blogging because I HATE comma's (as you all tell...i hardly ever use them) LOL!

Don't worry if your tasks are small and rewards are few, remember that the mighty oak was once a nut like you!

*singing* Mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum.

I am taking voice lessons, can't you tell? :) My teacher is AWESOME....I don't even have to leave home! :) Brett Manning has taught people like Taylor Swift, Hayley Williams and several of others. He has some free stuff online if anyone is interested. Just YouTube search Brett Manning and it will pull it up. He is INCREDIBLE and very understandable. And, if you want to get the full deal (12 CDs, a workbook and a Studio Training DVD) it's on his website....knock yourself out! :) Website: www.singingsuccess.com

He had better thank me for this free advertisment! :)

Silhouettes & Skittles

Everyone is talking about food so I thought I would share my recent addiction to Skittles. :)

Hi. My name is Chastity and I am addicted to Skittle's (especially the SOUR ones). Please HELP! :)

On the more serious side of things....I have found my new crafting project. Putting silhouettes on EVERYTHING! :) It's awesome, people! You can do chandelier's, birds, tulips, neck ties, guitars' cloth purses, scarfs and TONS more! I love them on t-shirts....AWESOME-NESS! :)

~On a canvas~

On a kids tee~

I think I am gonna make one of these and wear it to a restaurant! :)

Well, that is all for now....my brother (brotha' is more important at this time) is singing black gospel as LOUD as he can (he doesn't know what "be quiet" means) and I can't even THINK. LOL! Lord bless his bawking chicken gizzard! I didn't invite him to my BBQ.......lol!

Tootles, people!
