Honky Tonk Fun

So....I guess everyone who lives in Texas has to do it at least one time!

Friday night, I went to a Honky Tonk bar! Cowboys in Arlington was hopping on Friday night and we made it even more fun! I am still laughing out loud.

Let me tell you, I am not a honky tonk girl. I don't like bars (anymore) and had NO desire to go. I was coerced by my friends and co-workers...after all, Yvonne was in town from North Carolina AND it was her 39th birthday. How much of a party pooper could I be? (I knew I could be a BIG party pooper)

These gals were not even arriving at our destination until 9:30 or 10:00 p.m! I religiously am in bed by then most nights! Staying up late is 10:30 - with the few exceptions that Tina and I chat on the phone until after midnight...but those nights are fewer and far-er between. (we are in our 40's now) And I had to drag my poor husband along - again - on another Girls Night Out. Poor guy!

And have I mentioned that I can barely tolerate Country Music? Mercy me! It hurts my ears.

But, I am glad that I went! I will say that Cowboy Boots are on my birthday list, just in case this ever happens again!

The Medical Edge Coders! (Left to Right) Stacey, Jessica, Me (in the front), Diana, and Birthday Girl, Yvonne!

Me and my best Friend!

The Cousins...Yvonne's last name is the same as ours, so Fred has claimed her as kin.

Jessica and Me...she is responsible for bringing me back to the crazy and fabulous job that I now have. She was my boss and now we are great friends!

My husband flirting with Yvonne! He is crazy! So is she!

I Got A Feeling....

that this is gonna be a good, good year!!!!!! I have great expectations! And I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goals. And prayers. I know God will answer prayers, and there are a few that I look forward to seeing the answer to, hopefully in 2010. It would be great if love and peace and forgiveness would win out in a few broken relationships. I am still praying. And I am look forward to how my marriage will become more wonderful, as it does every year! My health should improve since I am training for a triathlon. I lost 23 pounds in 2009. I look forward to losing about 15 to 20 more. Completing the Caveman triathlon with a couple of my very good friends is a goal that I am excited to achieve! It is going to be fun to see what God is going to do because I said "yes" to Him and stepped up into Home Group leadership with my church. And my church.... I have to say I am amazed and thrilled to love my church! What a blessing after so many years of being a s...

Gone

A fire burns behind me I run to keep ahead Those who I once cared for becoming cold and dead Red and black the flames grow high Smoke rises in the air The pain of my unworthiness Seems more than I can bear In front of me I see the sun I long to feel it's heat The iciness inside my heart has paralyzed my feet I see the moon, I see the stars They swirl and dance for me I see the hole, the big dark hole Where one star used to be

Behind Those Eyes - Chapter 8

We are completely loved and accepted completely. That is the chapter title this week and it is such good news! It is news that I have heard before, but news that I was glad to hear again. Lisa's story at the end of the chapter touched my heart...you know, the one where she woke up the morning after her prayer asking God to let her know that they were okay. The song in her head, that really was in her heart is awesome. I have had those times. Recently, I have had quite a few. The last few months (years maybe?) have been a little difficult. Some days I have wondered, "Does He REALLY love me?" And then some sort of confirmation will come along, He will let me know that we are okay and my heart sings. His love is gentle. His love is perfect. His love is comforting. And his love is absolutely unconditional. My blog time is shortened this week due the death in my family. My post is short, but honest and heartfelt. This week, I had a couple of conversations with a good...
