~Where the World goes around~

I have learned more coffee makers today has a set timer. As I got up this morning to find my coffee cold. Maybe that just means I need to get up when Debbie does so I can get hot coffee or I just need to forget the idea and go for the Iced Coffee. Okay so Emily has started moving all around the house and boy I can't keep her out of anything. It was funny today however as Debbie left a cup on the floor and Emily found it. (She knows what cups are used for as she tried to drink out of it but found nothing inside it.) So she put her little yellow duck inside of it. I think she was trying to help the duck out but I am not sure. Well Debbie is working late today as she will be working late every Tuesday from now on. (I am not a big fan of that but oh well) Debbie did get promoted however this time with better pay! I am always a fan of better pay. Anyway with Debbie working so late that leaves me to cook dinner tonight. We are going to have a Jerk style Chicken and Rice w/pea dinner. Great stuff! Well off to start cleaning the house as today is cleaning day. Wait with Emily everyday is cleaning day. I can't wait till she gets to start helping.

~Monday Morning Coffee~

Debbie went off to her work meeting in NC on Saturday while Emily and I stayed at Bella's this weekend in Lexington, SC. My Brother and his wife had their new little baby boy this weekend too so we got to go see them on Friday night. Sunday was a nice days as we went to go see other family in town and spend a nice few hours there before we had to head back home so Debbie could get up early this morning to be at some meeting she had to be at. While in SC this weekend we stop by Sam's Club to pick up a gift for my brother and sis-in-law and went looking through there list of Xbox 360 games they had. Debbie pointed one out that she has seen before (Assassin's Creed) in other stores and wanted to saw it too me. After looking at it I know it could be a good buy. But once I found the price tag I found my self in a lost. In the gaming world Good games = High price tag. This one was priced at $57.95. I didn't have that kinda of money to be putting to a game so I turned the not so good deal down. On the way home we stoped by GameStop store just to see what they price the game as a little used. Can we say BIG DISCOUNT! I walked out of the store with the Assassin's Creed game for only $17.32. :) Boy I felt good. So far the game is not that bad I am still stuck in a few areas but overall it seems to be a fun game.

Firday Morning

One of the best gummy candys I have had. New to the USA I found my 1st Haribo bag on Ft. Jackson where you could get it then at only 50cents a bag. Not as a few years have past I am finding there pop up all over. I have to give them 10 stars for being the best gummy candy. Here is a little history about the Haribo Happy-Cola candy.

HARIBO is a sweets producer, founded in 1920 in Bonn, Germany by Hans Riegel. The name is an acronym for Hans Riegel, Bonn.

The founder died during the Second World War and his son, also called Hans Riegel, took over the factory on returning to Germany after the War, and expanded its operations, taking over many local sweet manufacturers in countries all over the world.

Today HARIBO is one of the biggest manufacturers of sweets, namely of fruit gums, liquorice and foam. There are five factories in Germany and 13 throughout the rest of Europe. There are sales offices in almost every country in Europe as well as in the USA .

Haribo was one of several German companies which is alleged to have employed forced labour in its factories during World War II. Haribo disputes this, and has declined to contribute to an ex-gratia payment made by other German companies to survivors.

Haribo’s German catch phrase is “Haribo macht Kinder froh / und Erwachsene ebenso”, which translated as “Haribo makes Kids happy / and adults the same”. The voice of Thomas Gottschalk has been connected with the Haribo advertisements since 1991.

In English, to preserve the rhyme, it becomes “Kids and grown-ups love it so / the happy world of Haribo”, whilst in French the slogan translates as “Haribo, c’est beau la vie/ pour les grands et les petits”.

I know I love it!!!

Today's Verse

"Who has stirred up this king from the east, who meets victory at every step? Who, indeed, but the LORD? He gives him victory over many nations and permits him to trample their kings underfoot. He puts entire armies to the sword. He scatters them in the wind with his bow. He chases them away and goes on safely, though he is walking over unfamiliar ground. Who has done this and carried it through, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD -- with the first of them and with the last -- I am he."

— Isaiah 41:4 (NIV)

A Fast Post!

Things have still been really busy! Emily has turned 9 months old and Debbie is still top with her work. I am working on housing plans and trying to get things ready for new changes. Internet is cheap and i am working on ways to work around it. I must run as I have things to do and have to care for Emily! Til we meet again!

~Tuesday Morning Jitter~

Well far so the Time change is going well. I am up and feeling okay. my coffee is good and Emily is playing on the floor with her puzzle mat. The Sun is out and Debbie is working hard. Emily is starting to move all over the house. We had to get a gate to put up in the the kitchen to keep her out of it. She keeps looking at it wondering what it is. The cats don't know what to think about it as they are not sure if they are to stay out of the kitchen or the den. We hopefully are near our plans to have a house on our land in the next few months. the sooner the better for me. I have marked out our driveway along with our yard and a place to put some chickens or horses. I am ready to see things happen but at this point we just have to pray and hope they do. Both Debbie and I have enjoyed playing out new Xbox360 And yes we got the game FABLE II. It is really good but I am was a little disappointed in it as it was so short of a game then the 1st game. But it was really good and even that I have beating the game I have so much to do that I have yet to do. Oh I also got my stuff to sell TASERS It was a big price tag but I am hoping to get some sold in the next few months to get that money back. I am trying to set up some prices and discounts for people who hold one of my classes.

Dr. Winters Shot on Stage!

A Post from 1st Baptist Church of Maryville, IL after this weeks Sunday morning events:


"On Sunday, March 8, 2009, a little after our 8:15 service began, a man entered First Baptist Church and fired several gunshots at our Senior Pastor, Dr. Fred Winters. Pastor Winters was taken to the hospital but died of his wounds.

Please pray for Dr. Winter’s family, our two brave members who were injured when they stopped the assailant, for the assailant himself and his family, and for our church members as they deal with this tragic loss.

In this day, where uncertainty seems to abound creating an environment in which people are vulnerable in doing things they might not do otherwise, one thing is certain, we, as human beings need a foundation upon which we can live our lives. We at First Baptist Maryville, along with other Christian believers, share this conviction: that foundation is God’s Word. In the pages of the Book we call the Bible, we find the pathway for peace, hope, and a quality of living life despite what circumstances we find ourselves in.

To those who believe in the power of prayer, we covet your prayers right now"
