Icy Darkness
I heard in the news that with temperatures plunging, utility officials warned that it could be mid-February before electricity is restored to some of the hardest-hit places. The worst of the power failures were in Arkansas, Kentucky and Ohio. My husband called his son in Kentucky and he said that the storm wasn't really bad where he lives. I hope it stops snowing tonight so we can go somewhere tomorrow.
It Is Back!
What a lucky day! Now I have no reason to be frowned or sad. I am happy today despite the cold weather today and no sunshine again. A special thanks to all my friends who uplift my spirit and gave comments. I am very happy today!

Pink Heart Tag
Please spend time to scroll down and take time to read every line, and ask GOD what does He want to tell you.
Your mind is like a parachute. It functions only when open.
You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself,
you lack the courage to start you have already finished.
One thing that you can't recycle is wasted time.
Ideas won't work unless YOU do.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.
If you want your dreams to come true, you must not oversleep.
Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.
The best vitamin for making friends is B1.
It is never too late to become what you might have been.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the one's who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Friends are like balloons, once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems, that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right or wrong. Sometimes we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late. I don't want to let that happen, so I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

What's Your Word?
possibilities, ideas, and fascinations.
And sometimes you feel like
you don't have enough time to take it all in.
You love learning.
Whether you're in school or not,
you're probably immersed in several subjects right now.
When you're not learning, you're busy reflecting.
You think a lot about the people you know
and the things you've experienced.

Tomorrow Can Be Too Late
- If you're mad with someone, and nobody's there to fix the situation... You fix it! Maybe today, that person still wants to be your friend. And if you don't, tomorrow can be too late.
- If you're in-love with somebody, but that person doesn't know, tell him or her. Maybe today, that person is also in-love with you. And if you don't say it, tomorrow can be too late.
- If you really want to kiss somebody, kiss him or her. Maybe that person wants a kiss from you too. And if you don't kiss him or her today, tomorrow can be too late.
- If you still love a person that you think has forgotten you... tell him or her. Maybe that person have always loved you. And if you don't tell him or her today, tomorrow can be too late.
- If you need a hug of a friend, ask him or her for it. Maybe they need it more than you do. And if you don't ask for it today, tomorrow can be too late.
- If you really have friends who you appreciate, tell them. Maybe they appreciate you as well. That if you don't and they leave or go far away today, tomorrow can be too late.
- If you love your parents, and never had the chance to show them, do it! Maybe you have them there to show them how you feel. That if you don't and they leave today, then tomorrow can be too late.

Feel Sexy and Confident!
I visited the website of Make Yourself Amazing (MYA), a cosmetic surgery that specializes in breast enhancement, but also offers a full range of surgical and non-surgical procedures. They also offer the best advice and to be able to produce an amazing result. They will provide all the details that you need to know to give you information on whatever procedure you will take. As I go over their website, I clicked on body reshaping menu and found out about tummy surgery. This procedure will trim unwanted fats from the tummy and tightens the abdominal muscles. For sure, it will give me back the confidence I lost for a long time. I will never hide my confidence ever again.
If you want to look good and be confident, visit the website - MYA UK and feel the amazing results you could ever have. Stop hiding yourself and gain back the confidence you once lost.

Snow it Baby!
The husband was patient enough to plow the snow from the driveway with his old tractor. And I am telling you that it wasn't easy being out in a cold weather. Aren't you going to ask me what I did while the husband was out? I was in-front of my computer doing EC dropping and visiting my friend's blog site. What a lazy butt I got! After facing the computer, I made my part as a homemaker. I did cook for our lunch and pampered my husband with all my love and care.

A New Beginning
We can't go out of the house because we have 4-feet of snow. The snow is piled up around our house, and it looks like an igloo. They are forecasting that there will be more snow and very cold weather. We really want to go South. All we can do is eat, sleep, cuddle with each other and watch TV. Our life has never been boring like this!
