1. First of all, if you live in the Southeast Missouri area take a minute and look at our dog, Squeekerz, he’s been missing since last week. You can view his picture here. If you’ve seen him, please contact me at outsidethestacks@live.com. Thank you so much! 2. Clint Eastwood was the mystery speaker at the Republican…
Embroidered Slippers {Shoe Style Saturday}
Look at my beautiful slippers. I stared at them, hoping I could save them but I think it’s safe to say they can’t be helped… I hated to toss them because they were so beautiful ~ the embroidery, the bead work, etc. I wish I were crafty and could have thought of a way to…
Things That Leave Me Scratchin’ My Head {Coffee Talk}
1. Did you watch “The Week the Women Left” on LifeTime the other night? I’m not sure what I think of this show yet. I’m hoping that it does more than play into the stereotype that men are big lumbering apes who happen to fall on the women folk, get ’em pregnant and then have…
Read the Bible in 90 Days {#B90Days}
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be serving as a member of the leadership team for the next session of #B90Days, hosted by Amy at Mom’s Toolbox. #B90Days is a 90 day Bible reading plan that helps you read the Bible from cover to cover. Because of the intense nature of the plan, this should…
Gold Gladiator Sandals {Shoe Style Saturday}
Another week has come to an end. sigh This is our last week of short days at the library. During the summer we work from 8 AM to 4 PM and during the school year we work from 8 AM to 5 PM. I know it doesn’t seem like much, but that hour really does…
Things That Leave Me Scratchin’ My Head {Coffee Talk}
1. Honey Boo Boo. What in the world is this craziness on TLC? Have you seen that show “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo”? I didn’t realize what it was when I first turned it on, I honestly thought it was a new cartoon on one of the kiddie channels. Why in the world would parents…
Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #8 {#Cinchspiration}
So, ummmmm, no scale picture today. But I will provide an update anyway. I’ve gained 1.4 lbs since last week but I’m not sweating it. Why, you may ask? Because I’ve lost 2 inches off my waist! Yes, 2 whole inches. I am beyond thrilled. Last week I bought a pair of jeans that were…
Blue Thong Sandals {Shoe Style Saturday}
See those thongs? I picked them because the color just screamed”Take me home, we’ll have lots of fun together!” So I did. Big honkin’ mistake. I wore them to work and half way through the day I ended up putting on my walking shoes that keep under my desk for midday walks. My feet were…
Clouds {This Or That Thursday}
Last week, we had some crazy weather. It was soooo hot. I think we hit the triple digits or very close to it most of the week but Thursday just flipped the script. While I was at work, I happened to look out my window and noticed that the clouds looked a little, ummm, odd.…
Losing Weight and Getting Healthy #7 {#Cinchspiration}
I have not exercised at all. Last week, our church was crazy busy and I was just making it home from work with enough time to shower, make dinner for the family and get out of the house, so that left little time for anything else. Confession: On days when I haven’t had time to…
