Sunday musings.......

Well here we are...Sunday.... a restful day at home...This morning our worship leader from our church called at five to nine to see if I was going to make it out to sing in church today.... uh oh! I had no idea I was on the schedule! I got ready in record time. Practice is at 930 and we have a 15 minute drive to get there.... Well needless to say I flew around here getting myself ready to go. I caught a ride in with a friend also on the team and hubby stayed home and got the 4 girls up and out the door by himself! He actually didn't do too badly! They all had their hair brushed and were wearing matching clothes!
It turned out to be a wonderful time of worship today. I enjoyed it so much. I haven't been doing it very much for the last little while..sorta hibernating at home.... well still going to church but not really getting into it.... and not singing on the team. Well every time I do this and then get back singing... I wonder why I ever do that. There is nothing like praise to lift you! I know we're not supposed to do it for our benefit, but boy it sure does benefit us! Amazing how that works!
I went out on Friday night with my girlfriends.... it turned out to be a fun time. We ordered this appetizer....it was so ummmm... strange! It was microscopically (literally!)thin slices of meat (it looked raw!) on a plate with a dab of salad in the middle... We were kinda grossed out but thought since this was a $9 plate we'd better at least try it! It was nasty! The meat was kinda gooey... pasty.... icky! I don't remember what it was called, but something none of us will EVER order again in our entire life times! We had a great time though... and the rest of the food was great! We went shopping at Winners for a little bit after we finished supper. Just some browsing no buying for me. I have to LOVE something now to buy it.... new thing for me! I hate to waste money on something I'll not like in a month's time. It also cuts down on the clutter! One treasure that I found recently, is this painting... (The flash reflected on it so it is a bit distorted) Not sure what you call the style.....? Maybe contemporary abstract...? I don't know... but anyway..When I saw it, I knew this was it! I've been trying to find something to build our decor around.... starting with a clean slate... We bought a new home last summer and it needs paint. It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted... I've started keeping track of those things that really catch my eye. I find that really helps with figuring out what my style is!? I love earthy colours...peaceful greens, taupes, browns, reds.... I got an interior designer to come in and help me with a colour palette for the house. What a great use of $60! She was here for about an hour and really was helpful. She made up a colour board for me that I can keep in my purse with me. That way if I come across something that I like I check that it goes with the colour scheme we've put together. I also went out and picked up some paint to start painting. Hmmm maybe I'll make that a spring break project! Our interior is all a pale/medium pink. Hey Candy- You'd probably love it!! My kids right off the bat said "Mom, we have to take these ugly flowery curtains down!!" Well... it didn't happen right away, but it's the only thing we've done to change anything so far.....
Anyway, I should go and get something for our late supper/bedtime snack! You all have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Have fun painting. I don't have a white wall in my house. I love color. It warms a house up and brings out the wood trim all the more. I cut out stuff I see in magazines all the time. Someday when we build a new house I'll have plenty of examples of ideas of what I want - furniture, layout, colors, decor styles...you get the picture.

Yes I know what you mean.... I'm JUST starting to do that... and we've been married for almost 17 years!! Wow!! I must be getting old!! :) I guess I was just too busy having babies for the first 8 years!! My first 3 were in just under 3 years then waited 3 years for a fourth!! My poor hubby.... a house full of women!! Well I think he enjoys the attention he gets from his girls though.... they love Daddy... He's almost always got one of them rubbing his back or something like that. Anyway... how'd I get onto that from decorating!! Yeah we're pretty new in this house so like I said haven't painted yet... but our old house was all colours.... the living room was like guacamole, kitchen burgundy.... bedrooms... yellow, blue, lime, and a brownish gold colour... so this pink is kinda driving us crazy! Well I guess we'll get started at covering it up this week! Thanks for popping in..

The painting really is pretty!! I have never been confident with colors (other than my closet, which is full of pink clothes, shoes, purses...!!) So, 60 bucks to get some direction with my home would probably be money well spent, too. One of these days I may also put pictures of all the rooms in my house up on my blog, and ask everyone for ideas to pull it all together!!

Sounds like a really fun time out with your girlfriends, AND singing at church, too. Have a great Monday!!
