Another day at work!

It is almost time to head home and I am thankful! :) Today has been a pretty busy day, which is a good thing! I am planning on having coffee with friends tonight and relaxing! Before I go, I wanted to share a song that I have come to love! Enjoy! :)

I found myself looking into the mirrior
Knew I wasnt who I wanted to be
I was living like the way that I wanted
But my eyes reminded me I'm not free.
Beleived that I saw everything that I know
Says I got to go, tired of going solo
But I'm never gonna go there again.

This is what it is
This is who I am
This is where I finally take my stand
I didnt want to fall
But I don't have to crawl
I met the One with two scarred hands
Giving him the best of everything thats left of
The life inside this man
I've been Born Again

I see you walking like your living in fear
Having trouble even looking at me
Wishin they would give you more than words
Sick of people telling how it should be (how it should be)
Whats your download, where'd you get your info, you saw that I'm show now your in the inload
Gonna tell you what I believe

This is what it is
This is who I am
This is where I finally take my stand
I didnt want to fall
But I don't have to crawl
I met the One with two scarred hands
Giving him the best of everything thats left of
The life inside this man
I've been Born Again

We are the ones they call by name
(I'm never gonna look back)
Let go let go the guilt the shame
(Said I'm never gonna look back)
This is who I am

This is what it is
This is who I am
This is where I finally take my stand
I didnt want to fall
But I don't have to crawl
I met the One with two scarred hands
Giving him the best of everything thats left of
The life inside this man
I've been Born Again

First official blog...

So, my good friend Deanna has gotten me interested in blogging. I like reading other people's thoughts, but never thought of blogging my own. So, here it goes!!! Today has been a pretty busy day! Long holiday weekends always make for an eventful Tuesday and Wednesday following!

This past weekend, I went to visit family in McComb, Ms. We went camping for the weekend. It is always interesting going camping. Generally, we will play around on the 4-wheelers, ride in the boat, fish a little, and so on. This weekend, I decided I wanted to learn how to clean a fish!!!

My dad is a "good ol' country boy" from the deep south, and has probably been doing this since his tiny tot days, lol! Me, I lived with my mom and step dad, and we would just make a quick run to the grocery store when we wanted fish. :) With that said, I did not have a lot of opportunity growing up to learn this art! Haha..

We get the fish in, and my dad gets them all hooked up on the hooks. I was a little scared giving these poor fishies were looking right at me! Trying not to be the "city girl" that I get accused of, I pushed on and preceded to pull the skin off the fish! I will spare with the gory details, but to say the least, it was an adventure! haha. After the first fish is down, it became a little easier each time. Who knows, I maybe bating, hooking and skinning my own fish before it is all over!! :)

I guess that is it for now, we will see what tomorrow will hold! Have a blessed night..
