Generally, I drain my brain on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, but since we have been VERY busy this weekend, today is my first chance.
Let’s get this taken care of, shall we?

Favorite Quote of the Week……
I am still working my way through Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis. I have to admit, the first two chapters were kind of slow for me.
However, now I am half-way through and I GET IT! Lewis is a genius and is able to take a thought from start to finish. I have trouble doing that!
Is anybody with me?
I love this quote
“I may repeat ‘Do as you would be done by’ till I am black in the face, but I cannot really carry it out till I love my neighbor as myself; and I cannot learn to love my neighbor as myself till I learn to love God: and I cannot learn to love God except by learning to obey Him.“
Whoa. That is a mouthful of truth, isn’t’ it? I just cannot love my neighbor as myself without the help of the Holy Spirit.

Big Fat Meany……
One night this week, Brad, who NEVER watches TV, was scrolling through the channels trying to find something interesting. He landed on Bill Maher, and we tried to watch it for the first time ever.
That lasted about 10 minutes.
Is there anyone on TV who is more egotistical, more hateful, more just- plain- mean? Why do people watch him?
American Idol…..
My boy Phillip won! Wasn’t his reaction the sweetest thing?
I’d like to know a bit of his back story. It is obvious the boy is loved.
Please take a minute to click over and read this post about fame.
I Wish I Was Wearing…..
You go girl! I love those shoes! I am so glad Phillip won. What a great role model!
Happy Memorial Day!

I was so glad to see that Phillip won…he is a sweetheart. Happy Memorial Day to you- xo Diana
C.S. Lewis is a genius! I loved Mere Christianity. Husbie and I read it for a class in college and it's something you have to pull off the shelf regularly to re-read since it's so deep. =)

My husband has read Mere Christianity but I haven't tackled it yet. I'm more of the Chronicles of Narnia kind. He is very deep in his writings though. I know I would get so much out of reading it.
I just hope Phillip's medical problems are treated so he can have a brilliant future – seems like a really nice young man.
Wedgies are really dangerous, I fell off mine on the way to get my nails done a couple of weeks ago – so lucky I didn't break or badly sprain my ankle! I was going to wear them yesterday, just to Starbucks to meet a friend for a quick coffee, looked at them, tried them on, kicked them off, put them back in the closet and grabbed my Converse instead!!!! Why take a chance that could put a huge crimp in my travel plans!!!!!!
Take care -Mary
Great quote! I may borrow it.
Always love the outfits you pick!
Thanks for joining in Susan!
You could rock those shoes – wedges are not painful like regular heels! I'm putting a pair on right now so the hubs can take me out to dinner!
Have a great weekend!
