I read the most awesome book recently called, The Noticer. Author Andy Andrews says that, "The Noticer is rooted in the belief that our time on earth is a gift to be used wisely and one of the best ways to use that gift is by noticing those who have made an impact in our lives". That's what I hope to do this year. I want to notice EVERYTHING for 365 days - All of the God moments in my life - All of the friends and family that surround me - and as always, every bit of the funny that goes on in this world. Hope you enjoy and YOU become a noticer too.

The Beauties of COOL AIR!

Days #196 - #200:
Missed me yet? I'll explain my hiatus in 3 words, NO AIR CONDITIONING. Saturday morning I woke up to a somewhat warm climate inside, but didn't think much of it. I usually keep the air off during the day when I'm gone or when I'm not passing out from heat stroke to conserve energy, so it didnt' dawn on me that there was any drama until Saturday night when I cut the air on and it never got cool. Finally I went over and felt the vent and there was air blowing out, but it definately wasn't cool. Saturday morning at 1am I woke up and felt as though it were at least 100* in this cracker jack box. I was roasting. I got up and took a FREEZING COLD SHOWER. This happened for two days. Monday, we got the news that it couldnt' be fixed until Wednesday. That was it. I couldn't take anymore. I called my dear friends, Brent and Leigh-Ann, and Sister and I moved in with the Mays for 2 days. It was fantastic. I'll post those pics tomorrow and tell you of all the fun we had with the kids. Anyway, we finally got to come home to much cooler temperatures tonight. I am without a doubt THANKFUL for air conditioning. I don't know how they survived on the prairie without it. :0)
